《I Attained Invincibility In The Real World》 Chapter 1 1 Chapter 1: Panel and Breaking Limits Body D?ch gi?: 549690339 On the big bus. Gazing at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sentimental. After five years, he was finally returning here again. Regrettably, his loved ones were no longer here. His once hometown had long since changed, and the people were now different. Seeing the destination was about to be reached, Chen Sheng looked away from the window and down at the screen in front of him. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 0.86] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.91] [Skills: Breaking Limits (your body can be infinitely enhanced through training, and training effects will not decrease) (not upgradable), Breathing, Swimming, Running]. [Skill Points: 0.07] [The average attribute values for a normal adult male are 1] This was the panel that Chen Sheng had suddenly awakened a week ago. Just looking at the data, it was quite pitiful. However, this was precisely the reason why Chen Sheng returned to his hometown. Five years ago, after his parents passed away due to illness, Chen Sheng left his hometown and went to work in a first-tier city. However, for an ordinary person without a higher education or family background, it was extremely difficult to stand out in a first-tier city. Even though Chen Sheng worked diligently and tirelessly, his sry remained consistently low throughout those five years. Eventually, his health suffered due to years of staying upte and working overtime, and he nearly exhausted all his savings just to barely recover. After recovering from the illness, his body had be weak and feeble. Even walking a little faster would leave him gasping for air. It was then that Chen Sheng understood. Earning more money wasn¡¯t as important as having good health. Moreover, He wasn¡¯t even earning much to begin with. As such, After awakening his Golden Finger, he quit his job and decided to return to his hometown. ¡°Wutong Vige intersection ising up, hurry up if you want to get off!¡± The bus driver¡¯s shout interrupted Chen Sheng¡¯s thoughts. He quickly got up, struggled to pull his suitcase from the overheadpartment, and walked towards the front of the bus. After getting off the bus, Chen Sheng stood at the intersection, looking into the distance. Upon entering the intersection, there was a slope that led downwards, and after walking a hundred meters, he could see the golden fields on both sides. Although Wutong Vige belonged to Quanjiang City, a second-tier city. However, since Wutong Vige was located in a remote area, it had never been developed and still retained its rural appearance. ¡°Master.¡± Chen Sheng motioned with his hand, calling over a moto-taxi from nearby. The driver was a dark-skinned old man who, after hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s call, flicked away his cigarette and slowly rode his motorcycle over to Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother, where are you going?¡± The old man grinned, a look of friendliness upon his face. ¡°To Wutong Vige.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a bit of a distance, twenty yuan.¡± ¡°Eight yuan.¡± Chen Sheng decisively pulled out an eight. ¡°No, no, eight yuan, and I¡¯ll lose out.¡± The old man shook his head repeatedly. ¡°Then forget it.¡± Without further ado, Chen Sheng immediately picked up his suitcase and walked towards another moto-taxi. ¡°Oh, you have a suitcase, so it¡¯ll be quite a bit more weight to bear¡¡± The driver rambled on with his excuses, but Chen Sheng had no intention of entertaining him. He saw that Chen Sheng had already reached another moto-taxi. The old man finally shouted from behind. ¡°Alright, alright! I¡¯m afraid of you!¡± Chen Sheng grinned, turned around, and directly mounted the moto-taxi. The old man pursed his lips, muttered a few unclear words, as if grumbling. But Chen Sheng ignored itpletely. After so many years of being away, the moto-taxi drivers here still hadn¡¯t changed their scamming ways. For a less-than-two-kilometer ride, they dared to charge him twenty yuan. If it weren¡¯t for the suitcase, Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t even have been willing to offer the high price of eight yuan. With a few bumps, the motorcycle slowly started, and the speed gradually increased. The cool autumn wind blew against his face, and Chen Sheng involuntarily shivered before gradually adapting. Looking at the familiar scenery on both sides, he took a deep breath. The air of his hometown still had that familiar smell. Wutong Vige hadn¡¯t changed much since he had left five years ago. Only some of the familiar shops had disappeared. Chen Sheng also noticed that the Sha County Snacks he used to frequent seemed to have been renovated. Perhaps he could revisit itter. During his five years away, the thing Chen Sheng missed the most was the delicious food from his hometown. Although Sha County Snacks could be found everywhere, each city had its own unique feature. The Sha County food from his hometown was Chen Sheng¡¯s favorite taste. Soon, The motorcycle gradually came to a stop. Destination, arrived. Chen Sheng got off the motorcycle, took out his phone to scan the fare for the old driver, and carried his luggage to his front door. Chen Sheng¡¯s home is a three-story building with a courtyard in front, filled with fallen leaves and garbage. It seemed quite big, but the housing prices back then were not as outrageous as they are now, and the location was remote. The seller was a friend of Chen Sheng¡¯s father. In the end, Chen Sheng¡¯s father bought the house for less than two hundred thousand yuan. If this were in a first-tier city, Chen Sheng would not have been able to afford it even if he had a hundred kidneys. He took out the key and unlocked the iron gate. Apanied by a harsh rubbing sound, the door was slowly pushed open. Chen Sheng walked through the front yard to the second floor. This was where the rooms for the family used to be. The decoration inside was not extravagant ¨C it was simply painted and tiled. There were four rooms on the first floor, only two of which were in use, and the other two were just used as storerooms without any renovation. Chen Sheng¡¯s parents nned to save money and renovate the housepletely after Chen Sheng got married, and use it as a new home. But now, it¡¯s not necessary anymore. Due to the long-term unupied house, a thickyer of dust had settled. After putting down his luggage, Chen Sheng rolled up his sleeves, found cleaning tools, and began his big clean-up. The first-floor hall, plus the second-floor rooms, and a front yard. By the time the house waspletely cleaned, The outside world had turned from day to dark night. ¡°Huff¡ª¡ª¡± Chen Shengy on the ground, looking at the ceiling, feelingpletely exhausted. At this moment, A rumbling sound came from his stomach. He didn¡¯t feel hungry while working, but now that he stopped, the hunger came like a tide. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t move right away; instead, he slowly got up after resting for half an hour. When he left years ago, all the home appliances had been sold, and now only basic furniture remained. He could only go out to eat first. Chen Sheng remembered the Sha County Snacks he saw on his way back. He had almost forgotten the taste of soup dumplings. With that in mind, Chen Sheng went straight out the door. An hourter, A full and satisfied Chen Sheng returned home. He picked out a set of clean clothes and went straight into the bathroom. After taking a shower and drying his hair, Chen Sheng looked at himself in the mirror. Under his skin, he could almost clearly see the outline of each bone. As for muscles? Barely noticeable. ¡°This is what the inte calls a skinny dog, right?¡± Chen Shengughed bitterly, shook his head in self-mockery, Then put on his clothes and left the bathroom. After ten minutes, Chen Shengy on the bed. With nothing to do, he began thinking about his future ns. Now he still had fifty thousand yuan in his bank ount, enough for him to live for a while without rushing to make money. In the following time, he nned to focus on recuperating his body. Chen Sheng called out the panel. [Strength: 0.86] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.91] [Skills: Limit-breaker Body, Breathing, Swimming, Running¡..] [Skill Points: 0.07] [The average attribute value of a normal adult male is 1] During the seven days of awakening the Golden Finger, Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes asionally increased. Whenever an attribute point increased, the corresponding value of the skill points would also increase. In the skill column, it included all of Chen Sheng¡¯s body-rted skills. Only the Limit-breaker Body was an exception ¨C it didn¡¯t belong to Chen Sheng, but was built into the panel. [Breaking Limits: Your body, through training, can be infinitely enhanced, and the training effect will not diminish] If the skill on his panel was really as powerful as described, Would that mean¡ as long as he kept training, he could finally be a Superman-like existence? Just thinking about it, Chen Sheng felt somewhat excited. He secretly clenched his fist. It was a good time to test it during this period. With that in mind, Chen Sheng gradually felt sleepy. Chapter 2 2 Chapter 2 Fitness and Purchasing Home Appliances Trantor: 549690339 The next day, in the morning. Noisy voices echoed from outside the window. Chen Sheng squinted his eyes, stretching on the bed. He lives near the vegetable market, and around this time, the number of peopleing to buy and sell vegetables tends to increase. Since the noise woke him up, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t n to sleep in any longer. He got straight out of bed and after washing up, prepared to go out. He nned to go to the urban area to buy some home appliances and grab breakfast on the way. However, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t n on taking the moto-taxi again. Now that he¡¯s decided to get in shape, he thought, Why not run there! The city¡¯s urban area is about nine kilometers away from his home. Chen Sheng nned to run half the distance and walk the other half. He changed into some light sportswear and came downstairs. After doing a bit of stretching, he started running towards the city center. 10 minutester. ¡°Moto-taxi!¡± With a pale face and drenched in sweat, Chen Sheng, standing at the entrance of Wutong Vige, weakly waved at a moto-taxi driver in the distance. He had vastly overestimated his physical endurance. Forget about nine kilometers, Just a little over one kilometer and he felt entirely drained, with unbearable stomach cramps. With this level of physical condition, Chen Sheng seriously doubted he could even match a primary school student. Left with no choice, he had to take a moto-taxi to the urban area. After a back-and-forth negotiation with the driver, the motorbike set off towards the city with Chen Sheng on board. On the way, Bored, Chen Sheng started to inspect his panel again. Constitution represents stamina, endurance, and the overall resilience level of the body parts. Agility represents the explosiveness of muscles, nerve response speed, and sensory activeness. Strength represents Chen Sheng¡¯s muscr and skeletal power and his ability to exert force instantly. The three attributes interact with each other, and they must all be improved in bnce to avoid overburdening the body due to too much muscle strength. However, All of Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes, are equally weak. But he believes that with the skill of Breaking Limits, he will be stronger eventually. 10 minutester. Chen Sheng arrived in the city smoothly. He did not rush to buy home appliances but instead visited a well-known local restaurant near the city center. Noodle porridge is a special dish from Chen Sheng¡¯s hometown. It consists of rich soup made fromrge bones and very thin rice noodles, topped with various ingredients of one¡¯s choice, stew sauce, pepper powder, and garnished with spring onions. Served with fried bread sticks, it is extremely delicious. As it was still early, Chen Sheng enjoyed his noodle porridge while watching the news ying on the TV overhead. [Recently, the National Martial Arts Association released thetest martial arts ranks. The rather fantasized ranking names sparked online discussions. Netizens spected that this might be a sign of the Spiritual Qi Awakening.] [The Martial Arts Association didn¡¯t provide much exnation.] A piece of news caught his attention. The TV screen was disying thetest realm division by the Martial Arts Association. ¡°For those who have not entered a stage, they are divided into sections, from one to ten sections.¡± ¡°For those who have entered a stage, from weak to strong, they are divided into the Hidden Element Realm, Clear Understanding Realm, Yao Light Realm¡..why is it scrolling so fast? Are they afraid I¡¯ll memorize them?¡± Before Chen Sheng could finish reading, the news ticker had already ended and moved on to the next piece of news. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. He had seen martial arts in various novels and movies since he was a child. He once fantasized about bing a martial arts master or a grand master of Chinese martial arts. But after years of inte surfing, Chen Sheng has long lost the passion for it. After all, most martial arts nowadays are mostly for general fitness. If you want to learn really useful martial arts, it would not be that easy. Especially considering his age. After breakfast, Chen Sheng went straight to the shopping center. After picking out a bunch of home appliances and kitchen utensils totaling 5,000, and setting a delivery time with the sales clerk, Chen Sheng left directly. ¡°What should I do now¡..¡± Chen Sheng looked around cluelessly after leaving the mall. Even though he had decided to exercise, he had no idea where to begin. Right then, Chen Sheng noticed a sign not too far away, and his eyes lit up. ¡°Hello, wee to Jason Gym.¡± The attractive receptionist stood up and greeted him with a sweet smile as soon as Chen Sheng entered the gym. The weing smile could easily tempt one to sign up immediately. Fortunately, Chen Sheng managed to resist the impulse of pulling out his bank card to pay on the spot. ¡°Hi, I¡¯d like to get a gym membership.¡± He stated his purpose directly. Afterward, Chen Sheng took a tour around the gym apanied by the front desk girl. The fitness area was quite spacious and well-equipped. And each type of machine was avable in at least five units. There was no need to worry about waiting in line to use the equipment. Despite it being morning, there were still quite a number of people already working out in the gym. It was apparent that business was doing well. After viewing the fitness area, they moved on to the other facilities. Apart from the fitness area, the gym also provided rooms for yoga, boxing, swimming, and private workouts. After the tour, they returned to the reception desk. ¡°How much is it to get a membership here?¡± Considering the luxurious facilities, Chen Sheng suddenly felt a bit apprehensive about the price. ¡°In our gym, a regr VIP card is 2,000 yuan per year, a permanent card is 10,500, but a VIP guest card is 20,000 a year~¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s okay, not too expensive.¡± Upon hearing the price, Chen Sheng nodded nonchntly, seemingly not bothered by the cost. His demeanor caught the eye of the front desk girl. Could it be¡she had encountered a big client? The next second, Chen Sheng stayed calm and passed his bank card to the front desk girl. ¡°I¡¯ll take one for just a month.¡± ¡°¡¡± Fortunately, the front desk girl was professional enough to keep her smile from falling off her face. The process to obtain a card wasn¡¯tplex. Quickly, Chen Sheng received his membership card and wristband. Chen Sheng went straight to the changing room to put away his personal belongings. As he walked out, rubbing his hands and gearing up for a workout, someone suddenly approached him. ¡°Tut, tut, little brother, your physique needs some work.¡± The man who spoke had a robust physique, standing half a head taller than Chen Sheng, who was 1.8 meters tall. With a tight tank top on, his chiseled muscles were stacked like rocks all over his body. As the man looked him up and down, Chen Sheng felt a bit ufortable. ¡°Who are you?¡± Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows.action Could this man be a bit more diplomatic? What¡¯s wrong with my physique? You think we can¡¯t spar? I bet I can knock you down in one round! Begging me for mercy! Upon seeing Chen Sheng¡¯s disgruntled reaction, the muscle-bound man quickly put on a smile. ¡°Sorry, little brother, no offense.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Jack, a personal trainer here.¡± ¡°Our gym offers a free private lesson to each new member.¡± ¡°I was wondering if you had time today?¡± At this, Chen Sheng finally realized what was going on. Having no experience with fitness, he did consider hiring a personal trainer before but his budget would not allow it. Now that a free lesson was being offered, he could not be more pleased. ¡°Sure.¡± Chen Sheng nodded immediately. Chapter 3 3 Chapter 3: Training and Attribute Upgrade Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Brother, I¡¯m a straightforward person, so don¡¯t take offense.¡± ¡°But with your body, you really need some training.¡± ¡°Just, don¡¯t train randomly, it¡¯s better with a professional¡¡± On the way to the fitness area, Coach Jack kept persuading Chen Sheng by his ear. What he meant was that Chen Sheng must get a coach, otherwise random training could be dangerous and inefficient. Chen Sheng just pretended not to hear. Don¡¯t ask, he¡¯s just broke. Seeing that Chen Sheng didn¡¯t seem to n on hiring a personal trainer, Coach Jack¡¯s attitude instantly became cold. He must be one of those people who lose interest after three minutes. With that in mind, he stopped talking. The two walked in silence. Soon, they arrived at the fitness area. ¡°Coach!¡± A chubby teenager with yellow hair in sportswear raised his hand enthusiastically when he saw Coach Jack. Jack, who had been cold-faced, immediately showed a warm smile. ¡°Ah Wei, you¡¯re here early today.¡± After exchanging pleasantries, Yellow hair Ah Wei turned his gaze on Chen Sheng. ¡°This is¡¡± ¡°Oh, this is a new member, he¡¯s training with us today.¡± Coach Jack looked at Chen Sheng. ¡°This is Ah Wei, who¡¯s been my member for a month.¡± ¡°He wasn¡¯t much better than you at first, but after a month of training, he¡¯s already much more lean.¡± With Coach Jack¡¯s introduction, Ah Wei grinned, flexed an arm, and a muscle-like outline appeared under the sportswear. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to buy a month of private lessons?¡± Facing Jack¡¯s inquiry, Chen Sheng shook his head firmly. Not to mention that a month of private lessons cost four thousand, which was ridiculously expensive. But with Breaking Limits, he didn¡¯t need a coach to constantly adjust his training n. As long as he had some basic exercise knowledge, his physical fitness would keep improving. He didn¡¯t need private lessons at all. Seeing this, Coach Jackpletely gave up on Chen Sheng. ¡°Just follow what we¡¯re doing.¡± His expression quickly turned cold. He didn¡¯t care what Chen Sheng¡¯s reaction was and directly led yellow hair Ah Wei to the treadmill. Chen Sheng shrugged, unconcerned, and followed. ¡°Coach, what¡¯s up with him?¡± Ah Wei whispered to Jack. He noticed Jack¡¯s attitude was a little off. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him, people like him will stoping after at most three times.¡± Hearing this, Ah Wei immediately understood. He had persisted in exercising for more than a month. For those who came just for a moment of novelty and had no persistence, he also looked down on them. He didn¡¯t focus on Chen Sheng anymore, and discussed today¡¯s training n with Jack. They arrived at the running area. ¡°You two warm up for a bit, 40 minutes each.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡± With that, Coach Jack left. Chen Sheng looked at the all-English treadmill with a baffled expression. Fortunately, he noticed yellow hair Ah Wei and followed his example, starting the treadmill and adjusting a fixed speed. After about ten minutes. ¡°Huff¡ª¡± Chen Sheng, pale-faced and leaning against the treadmill, gasped for air, while his legs trembled continuously. He looked utterly exhausted. Yellow hair Ah Wei looked at him in disbelief. Did this guye here to joke around? He hadn¡¯t even run for twenty minutes yet, and he was already like this. How could he possibly get fit. ¡°Not everyone can run.¡± ¡°Be careful not to ruin your body with running.¡± Ah Wei scoffed But what he didn¡¯t notice was, Chen Sheng, who was resting next to him, quickly regained the color in his face and his breathing became steady just a few minutester. Seemed like his stamina was recovering rapidly? With doubt, Chen Sheng summoned the panel. [Strength: 0.86] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.92] Constitution attribute increased by 0.01. Could it be that the increase of the Constitution attribute also restores stamina? Would he be a perpetual motion machine in the future? Training promotes attribute improvement, improvement promotes stamina recovery, allowing for more training. And the training effect will not decline, but will be stronger as the attributes improve. Thinking like this, Chen Sheng became even more excited about the future, and couldn¡¯t help but smile. Next, he doesn¡¯t n to continue running but will save the recovered energy for the uing training. Twenty minutes pass quickly. Coach Jack returns. Yellow-haired Ah Wei is stepping down from the treadmill with a red face. On the side, Chen Sheng has regained some color, no longer looking as miserable as before. Seeing this scene, Coach Jack subconsciously thinks that Chen Sheng has run for a while and then cked off. His contempt in his heart bes heavier. He directly ignores Chen Sheng and smiles at Ah Wei. ¡°Let¡¯s go, time for strength training.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The two head towards the strength area together. Chen Sheng silently follows behind. He doesn¡¯t care if the other party looks down on him or not. He came to work out anyway, not to make friends. Over the next hour, Coach Jack helps Ah Wei with various strength training, Chen Sheng also does the same training on the side. However, the gap between him and Ah Wei is too big. Whether it is lifting dumbbells or chest press, the opponent starts with at least 20 kilograms. As for Chen Sheng, He can only lift 10kg dumbbells, and for chest press, he can only lift the bar, unable to add any more weight. After only two sets of twelve reps, Chen Sheng feels unbearable pain in his joints. The other training items are the same. Coach Jack focuses all his attention on Ah Wei. Hepletely ignores Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng, thick-skinned, tries to ask him about the posture several times but gets ignored. ¡°Young man, your foundation is too weak.¡± ¡°You should try to eat more to ensure your body has enough nutrition intake, otherwise your body will copse from the training.¡± ¡°And for these exercises, make sure the movements are correct, and breathe rhythmically.¡± At this time, a bald big man seems unable to bear it any longer andes over to guide Chen Sheng. This big man is a head taller than Chen Sheng, with bulging muscles all over his body. ¡°Strong Bro, our gym doesn¡¯t allow for private coaching of members.¡± Seeing someone helping Chen Sheng, Coach Jack quickly says. However, the identity of this big man seems not simple. When Coach Jack says this, he seems tock confidence. Strong Bro res. ¡°Not satisfied?¡± ¡°If not, ask your boss toe to me!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been fucking fed up with your attitude for a long time, if you keep on bitching, I¡¯ll talk to your boss tomorrow!¡± Hearing this, Coach Jack suddenly bes quiet. However, in the angle where Strong Bro can¡¯t see, he fiercely res at Chen Sheng. As for this, Chen Sheng directly ignores it. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry about training, as long as I am in the gym, I will guide you.¡± ¡°Just call me Strong Bro.¡± Strong Bro¡¯s chest thumps with sound. ¡°Thank you, Strong Bro.¡± Chen Sheng smiles and nods. Then, Under Strong Bro¡¯s guidance, Chen Sheng resumes his training and immediately notices a clear difference. When doing the movements, the soreness is no longer in the joints but in the muscles. He can clearly feel which muscle is exerting force. Although he can only use the lightest weight for each exercise and perform two or three sets, He believes that with a little umtion, he will get stronger each time. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng says goodbye to Strong Bro and leaves the gym. He opens the panel immediately. As expected, his strength attribute increased by 0.01. His arms that were a bit sore are now much better. Chen Sheng¡¯s only worry is whether his muscles will be sore when he gets up the next day. But that can¡¯t be known now. Everything depends on tomorrow. Chen Sheng checks the time. He has been in the gym for more than two hours, and it is now a little past eleven in the morning. It¡¯s just time for lunch. Recalling Strong Bro¡¯s words about ensuring adequate nutrition, Chen Sheng looks around and quickly targets a beef hot pot restaurant. He steps forward immediately. ¡°Four tes of snowke beef, four tes of dragon, four tes of beef balls¡¡± Listening to the list of dishes, the waiter hesitates for a moment. ¡°How many people in your party, sir?¡± ¡°Just me. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll take the leftovers to go.¡± Hearing this, the waiter doesn¡¯t ask more questions and directly takes Chen Sheng¡¯s order. Chapter 4 4 Chapter 4: Eating and Leisurely Living Trantor: 549690339 Inside the hot pot restaurant. ¡°Hu¡ª¡± Chen Sheng, sweating profusely, leaned against the chair and experienced the baptism of the waiter¡¯s astonished gaze. It took him nearly two hours to finish his meal, finally devouring all the dishes. His stomach was so full that he found it difficult to breathe. But Chen Sheng knew that to quickly improve his physical fitness, eating a lot was essential. It¡¯s better to get used to it sooner. After resting for a while, he slowly got up from his seat. The meal cost a total of 300. Considering that Chen Sheng had ordered so much meat, it wasn¡¯t expensive. After having lunch, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t go home immediately but went to a beverage shop and ordered a ss of lemon tea. He sat by the roadside, drinking tea and basking in the sun while watching the crowd on the street. Veryfortable. Two hourster, Feeling that his food had initially digested, and his energy hadpletely recovered, Chen Sheng left the beverage shop. He nned to run home. With Chen Sheng¡¯s current physical condition, his physical attribute should increase again. However, before running, he had one more thing to do. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 0.87] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.92] [Skills: Limit-breaker Body, Breathing, Swimming, Running¡] [Skill Points: 0.09] He hadn¡¯t previously researched the function of skill points. Recalling what Strong Bro said today about training with the right method, He decided to experiment. [Running: 2/50] He focused his attention on the running skill and the words written. The next second, The skill points changed from 0.09 to 0.04. It seemed that 0.01 of skill points were equal to ten proficiency levels. The skill representing running also changed. [Running: LvMax] A stream of information suddenly flooded into his mind. Chen Sheng instantly understood various techniques of running and incorporated them into his instincts. ¡°Is this the function of skills¡¡± With just 0.05 of skill points consumed, he automatically mastered the best running posture and breathing techniques. It¡¯s just a pity that the panel seemed to only disy skills rted to his body. Otherwise, while training, Chen Sheng would have been able to effortlessly win a Nobel Prize or something simr. But this was enough. Chen Sheng warmed up his hands and feet on the spot. Then, he took a step and ran towards home. This morning when he left home, he only ran for ten minutes, and the one-kilometer journey had him nearly exhausted. Chen Sheng wanted to see how much progress he had made after a day of training. After ten minutes, Chen Sheng had run more than a kilometer. He would have been out of breath by now in the morning. However, at the moment, Chen Sheng only felt slightly short of breath. Fifteen minutes. Over two kilometers. Chen Sheng¡¯s breathing became more rapid at this time. Running outdoors was indeed more strenuous than at the gym. Twenty minutes. Approaching three kilometers. Chen Sheng felt that his energy was almost gone. His speed had also noticeably slowed down. But he didn¡¯t n to stop. After all, it¡¯s not like in the gym where he needed to retain energy for strength training. As long as he rested after his energy was exhausted, it wouldn¡¯t be toote.action With gritted teeth, Chen Sheng continued to run forward. Twenty-five minutes. Completely exhausted, Chen Sheng sat on the roadside without worrying about his appearance. Though his face was pale, his expression was very happy. As for the reason, Of course, it¡¯s because his constitutional attribute had increased by 0.01 again. Feeling his energy recovering rapidly, Chen Sheng decided to rest for a while and then set off again. Although his attributes might not necessarily increase next time, it¡¯s always a good idea to umte more. Two hourster, Chen Sheng finally arrived home. As for why it took so long, It¡¯s because he walked and stopped all the way, and then felt hungry halfway. So he had a small meal at a Sha County Snacks near his home. Obviously, the attribute increase was not unfounded but came from the rapid conversion of nutrients in Chen Sheng¡¯s body. After understanding this, Chen Sheng looked at his remaining 42,000 savings and felt in danger. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s use it for now.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll think of a way to earn more once it¡¯s gone.¡± He consoled himself and, upon returning home at the first opportunity, went to the bathroom for a cold shower. Ten minutester. Chen Sheng was lying in bed, feeling waves of fatigue sweeping over him. He instinctively closed his eyes. When he was awakened by the phone ringtone, the sky had already darkened. The caller was the home appliance deliveryman. Half an hourter. The newly purchased home appliances were installed. After Chen Sheng put all his changed clothes into the washing machine, he went out to solve dinner. ¡°Boss, pack two servings of soup dumplings, a bowl of t noodles, and two tea eggs.¡± ¡°Oh right, and stir-fry some rice noodles separately.¡± One shouldn¡¯t eat too much at night. So Chen Sheng was quite restrained when ordering. The boss of Sha County Snacks smiled with the wrinkles on his face squeezed together. This is a big customer. ¡°Brother, your meal is ready.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Back at home, Chen Sheng sat in the living room, eating while watching TV. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng, full and satisfied, cleared the meal boxes and hung the washed clothes on the balcony. After hanging up the clothes, he didn¡¯t leave the balcony but sat directly on the ground, looking at the crescent moon above his head. At this moment. He suddenly felt a bit lonely. Once he left his hometown, he gradually lost contact with his former friends. As for more distant rtives, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t know them well and was toozy to deal with them. And the people he met at work were all about business. After returning to his hometown, Chen Sheng cleaned up his WeChat thoroughly. Now, his WeChat had less than ten people. ¡°Being unattached is also quite good.¡± Chen Shengforted himself. At least, he now had something to pursue. He wanted to know how far he could go relying on the panel. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng shook his head and threw theplicated thoughts out of his mind. He leaped up from the ground. ¡°Train and exercise! I can¡¯t waste my evenings.¡± Although there was no equipment at home nor space for him to run, he still knew some basic moves. He closed his eyes and thought simply for a while, then made a home training n for himself. One hundred push-ups! One hundred sit-ups! One hundred squats! Let¡¯s go! Chen Sheng clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit. Three minutester. Bang! Chen Sheng, unable to hold on with his arms any longer, fell t on the ground. Push-ups¡only twenty were done. This was still due to the increased strength attribute during the day. But Chen Sheng was not discouraged. He struggled to get up from the ground and started doing sit-ups. Two minutester. Bang! Sit-ups¡ten. Keep going! Five minutester. Bang! Squats¡thirty. Chen Sheng had anticipated this situation and had no ns to give up. After resting for a while, Chen Sheng rallied again. And so, two hours passed. Until the end, Chen Sheng still couldn¡¯t achieve his goal. The further he went, the fewer repetitions he could do. Lying on the balcony floor, Chen Sheng feltpletely exhausted. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t all for nothing. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 0.88] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.93] Strength attribute increased by 0.01 again. Chen Sheng believed that he could do even better tomorrow night. Seeing that it was gettingte, he took another bath and went straight to bed. Perhaps it was due to the exercise. Not long after he closed his eyes, light snoring could be heard in the room. Chapter 5 5 Chapter 5 Buying Groceries and Improving Strength Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Ding ling ling~ With the rm ringing, Chen Sheng struggled to crawl out of his bed. It was just getting light outside. But this was the best time to buy groceries. After washing up and getting dressed, Chen Sheng went straight out. He found a bun shop in the vegetable market and quickly devoured a big pile of buns under the astonished gaze of the boss. After finishing breakfast, Chen Sheng began his shopping n. ¡°Auntie, give me five catties of ribs, ten catties of pork belly, and ten catties of pork nk.¡± ¡°Young man, are you having a feast at home?¡± Facing the inquiry from the meat-selling auntie, Chen Sheng had a smile on his face, but nodded with a guilty conscience. After that, he bought some other meats, vegetables, and seasonings for cooking. With both hands full of stuff, it took Chen Sheng some effort just to walk out of the vegetable market with his current strength. Luckily, the vegetable market was close enough to home, so he managed to barely carry everything back with frequent stops along the way. He stored the meat and vegetables separately and arranged the seasonings. After finishing all this, Chen Sheng went out again, ready to begin today¡¯s training. Yesterday¡¯s record of continuous running was 20 minutes, nearly three kilometers, sessfully increasing his physical attribute by 0.01. Chen Sheng used his phone to record his daily training, which was perfect forparison. He started running. Feeling the autumn wind blowing against his face, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but squint his eyes. Thanks to the increases in his physical attribute and running skills, running was no longer torture for him, but a process of enjoying getting stronger. 10 minutes, more than a kilometer. Chen Sheng¡¯s face was normal, and when he passed by the entrance of Wutong Vige, he even waved to the motorcycle driver. 20 minutes, nearly three kilometers. Chen Sheng was slightly gasping for breath, but he still felt full of energy. 25 minutes, more than three kilometers. His physical attribute increased by 0.01 again, and his body began to recover quickly. 35 minutes, more than four kilometers. ¡°Awesome!¡± On the way, Chen Sheng raised his arm and shouted, attracting the attention of nearby passers-by. Although his energy was almost drained, the feeling of getting stronger was really addictive.action With an excited expression on his face, Chen Sheng put down his arm and started to slow down from running to walking. The remaining journey would be just right for recovering his energy. An hourter, Chen Sheng arrived downstairs at Jason Gym. Perhaps because he arrived too early, the gym hadn¡¯t opened yet. So he rested for more than an hour in the beverage shop downstairs. It wasn¡¯t until past ten o¡¯clock that he, fully recovered, went to the gym. By this time, there were already quite a number of people there. Chen Sheng went straight to the changing room and put away his belongings. He then went to the fitness area. He happened to run into Coach Jack and Yellow Hair Ah Wei who were also about to start their workout. The two men secretly nced at Chen Sheng, showing yful expressions at the same time. ¡°Coach, I bet he won¡¯te back after today.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. He shoulde back for another day.¡± ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s bet on a cup of Moonbucks coffee.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± The two were actually betting on Chen Sheng. However, Chen Sheng was unaware of this. He wasn¡¯t the type to insist on being friendly with someone who wasn¡¯t interested, so he went straight to the treadmill to warm up his body. Ah Wei, with a rxed expression on his face, stepped onto the treadmill next to him. The two began to run together. During the process, Ah Wei¡¯s yful gaze asionally fell on Chen Sheng as if expecting to see him make a fool of himself. However, to his surprise, 10 minutes, Chen Sheng still looked normal. 15 minutes, Chen Sheng was just a little out of breath. 20 minutes. Ah Wei¡¯s eyes slowly widened. What¡¯s going on? Did this kid take some kind of drug today? He was clearly dying after running for less than 20 minutes yesterday. How is he still full of energy now? It wasn¡¯t until he ran for 30 minutes that Chen Sheng finally stepped off the treadmill. Although his breathing was rapid, he didn¡¯t seem as exhausted as he was yesterday. Actually, Chen Sheng could still run. With his Physical Attribute increased by another 0.01, his stamina had started to recover. But there was still strength training toe, so he needed to save some energy. Perhaps sensing the slightly surprised gaze from Ah Wei, Chen Sheng turned his head and grinned at him. ¡°Just practiced a little and I improved.¡± ¡°Seems like running isn¡¯t that difficult.¡± Chen Sheng held grudges. He didn¡¯t refute Ah Wei¡¯s mockery yesterday because he admittedly wasn¡¯t as good a runner as him at the time. Now that he¡¯s improved, he had to show off a bit¡ªhow else would he do justice to his Golden Finger? If the other party didn¡¯t buy it, that¡¯s fine. He could show off even more tomorrow. Having said that, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t wait for Ah Wei¡¯s reaction and headed straight to the strength area. Behind him, Coach Jack came to Ah Wei¡¯s side. ¡°How long did that kid run today?¡± ¡°Thirty minutes.¡± ¡°Really? Wasn¡¯t he done after just over ten minutes yesterday?¡± Coach Jack showed the same expression as Ah Wei had earlier. Ah Wei¡¯s face was ugly, and he slowly nodded. ¡°I think that guy was pretending to be weak yesterday just to mock me.¡± ¡°Otherwise, how could someone improve so quickly?¡± As he spoke, Ah Wei nced at the not-too-distant Chen Sheng. His teeth were grinding. ¡°Forget it, don¡¯tpare yourself with someone like that.¡± ¡°He might be able to fake running, but with that physique, he definitely can¡¯t handle strength.¡± Coach Jackforted Ah Wei and prepared to take him to do some strength training. At the same time, Chen Sheng had just arrived at the strength area and heard Strong Bro¡¯s loud, drum-like voice. ¡°Little Chen, over here!¡± Strong Bro stood in the dumbbell area, waving at Chen Sheng. His shiny bald head glowed under the sunlight. ¡°Impressive, most people can¡¯t handle the muscle soreness the day after they start exercising.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng suddenly realized that he didn¡¯t seem to feel any muscle soreness at all. He figured it must be the result of his strength attribute increase, just like how his physical attribute increase had restored his stamina. ¡°Well, once I¡¯ve decided to train, I have to stick with it.¡± Chen Sheng said with a grin. Such a response immediately made Strong Bro admire him even more. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s get you training.¡± Next was another hour of strength training. First came lifting dumbbells. Chen Sheng felt a significant change as soon as he picked up the dumbbells. Yesterday, when he lifted them, there was a sense of heaviness. But now, that heaviness had clearly diminished a lot. The training consisted of twelve sets, twelve reps per set, with six sets for each arm. Yesterday, Chen Sheng could barely manage three sets for each arm before his arms were so sore he couldn¡¯t grip anymore. But today, hepleted all the sets and even had some strength left over. ¡°Little Chen, how did you¡¡± Even Strong Bro, who was practicing with him, was a bit stunned. He had been watching and instructing Chen Sheng during his training yesterday. With Strong Bro¡¯s many years of fitness experience, he could naturally tell that Chen Sheng was truly giving it his all. But now, with just one day¡¯s time, there was such a significant change. Could it be¡ As if thinking of something, Strong Bro¡¯s expression became somewhat dazed. He didn¡¯t even hear Chen Sheng¡¯s exnation. Chapter 6 6 Chapter 6: News and Mysterious Figures Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Strong Bro.¡± ¡°Strong Bro?¡± Chen Sheng calls out several times, and Strong Bro finally snaps back to reality. ¡°Sorry Little Chen, I was just spacing out. Let¡¯s continue.¡± Strong Bro shows an apologetic smile. ¡°Thank you, Strong Bro.¡± In the following hour, Chen Sheng underwent various training exercises. Although the weight did not increase, he sessfullypleted all the sets. This caught the attention of the two trainers nearby. It seemed as if they were deliberately showing off to Chen Sheng. Today, Ah Wei¡¯s weight and number of sets were both greater than yesterday¡¯s. ¡°Huff¡ª¡± Afterpleting a set of exercises, Ah Wei stands in front of the mirror, admiring his engorged muscles. ¡°Coach, if you want to build strength, you really need to lift heavy weights.¡± ¡°Those light weights are just like ying around. How can we expect to develop muscles with them?¡± Ah Wei nces at Chen Sheng while deliberately speaking loudly. Chen Sheng ignores his sarcastic remarks and focuses on his training. Ah Wei thinks that Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t dare to speak, so he leaves with a contemptuous smile. Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t know Ah Wei¡¯s thoughts. All he cares about is the effectiveness of his own training. At the end of the training session, Chen Sheng looks at his panel and is instantly overjoyed. After this training session, his strength attribute unexpectedly increased by 0.02. The soreness in his muscles has also disappeared. If it weren¡¯t for the fear of being too shocking, Chen Sheng feels that he could have done a few more sets by gritting his teeth. However, Chen Sheng knows the principle ofbining work and rest. ¡°Strong Bro, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal sometime.¡± After the training session, Chen Sheng and Strong Bro chat as they walk towards the exit of the gym. ¡°Sure, but you better be prepared. I eat a lot.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make you bleed a little.¡± Strong Broughed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I can eat quite a bit too. We¡¯ll see who eats more.¡± Chen Sheng pats his chest in assurance. At this moment, Strong Bro stops. Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s puzzled gaze, he ps his head and exims, ¡°Damn, I forgot to take something. You go ahead.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll leave then.¡± Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t suspect anything and leaves the gym after saying goodbye to Strong Bro. After he leaves, Strong Bro turns and walks towards the depths of the gym, finally stopping in front of a row of doors. This is the vip area. Each room represents an independent fitness room, equipped with the most advanced equipment and apparatus, and can be customized ording to the needs of the members. Strong Bro stands in front of a door. Bang! A dull thudes from inside the room. Bang! One after another. Thump thump. ¡°Tiger Bro, it¡¯s me.¡± Strong Bro knocks on the door. ¡°Come in.¡± Strong Bro pushes the door and enters. The dull sounds continue. At the center of the room stands a bare-chested man. The man has short ck hair and a fierce gaze. Strong Bro feels goosebumps on his skin just by looking directly at him. This is Tiger Bro. The source of the thuds is the sandbag in front of Tiger Bro. Tiger Bro assumes a boxing posture, and his swift and powerful fists strike the sandbag one after another, pouring all his strength into it. Each punch sends the sandbag flying high, all the way to the ceiling. Once Strong Bro enters the room, Tiger Bro stretches out his hand and casually blocks. The rapidly falling sandbag, which had been making a breaking air sound, stops instantly in front of Tiger Bro, unable to advance an inch. Afterward, Tiger Bro turns his head, wearing a gentle smile that does not match his fierce demeanor. ¡°What¡¯s up, Strong Bro?¡± ¡°Tiger Bro, I think I¡¯ve met someone like the one you mentioned before.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Tiger Bro raises an eyebrow. ¡°Tell me the details.¡± Strong Bro immediately ryed Chen Sheng¡¯s situation. Upon hearing that Chen Sheng¡¯s physical qualities had changed significantly within just one day, Tiger Bro showed a thoughtful expression. ¡°So¡¡± ¡°Based on what you¡¯ve said, we can¡¯t be sure if he¡¯s one of those people.¡± ¡°Show me the surveince footage of him working out these past two days. If hees again tomorrow, I¡¯ll keep an eye on him.¡± Strong Bro bowed his head in agreement, then turned and prepared to leave the room. ¡°Strong Bro.¡± But at this moment, Tiger Bro suddenly spoke up. ¡°Would you like to reconsider what I mentioned before?¡± ¡°I really need your abilities on my side.¡± Hearing this, Strong Bro¡¯s movement stopped, and he showed a forced smile on his face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Tiger Bro.¡± ¡°I have a wife and child; I can¡¯t¡¡± Hearing this, Tiger Bro sighed helplessly and waved to interrupt Strong Bro¡¯s words. ¡°Get lost, I won¡¯t force you.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Bang! The room door closed as expected. Tiger Bro slowly walked back to the center of the room. The dull thumping sound resumed. ¡¡. ¡°Boss, four tes of Snowke beef¡¡± Returning to the same hot pot restaurant as yesterday, Chen Sheng once again ordered a long list of dishes. The waiter who attended to him was the same one as yesterday, so there was not much reaction. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ce the order for you.¡± During the meal, Chen Sheng ate while scrolling through videos on his phone. [Quanjiang City, Port District Murder Case] At this moment, A news headline caught his attention. Chen Sheng immediately clicked on it. [Last night, a brutal murder took ce at a construction site in the Port District. Suspect Zhao Hui shed with his coworkers.] [ording to the reporter¡¯s understanding of the situation, there were a total of nine people at the scene, and with the exception of Zhao Hui, the other eight were all killed.] [After receiving the news, the police moved quickly to arrest Zhao Hui, ultimately causing the death of four officers and taking their guns.] [Attention to the general public: actively report] [Special reminder: Suspect Zhao Hui is extremely dangerous, if citizens find his whereabouts, do not attempt any confrontation] Chen Sheng continued to scroll through his phone. Below the news, detailed information and photos of suspect Zhao Hui were avable. In the photo, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a somewhat unkempt appearance is seen. From appearance alone, it¡¯s impossible to tell that he¡¯s a murderer, let alone the one whomitted such heinous crimes. Chen Sheng could only sigh and thought that appearances can be deceiving. After having a meal, Chen Sheng got up to pay and left the hot pot restaurant directly. On his way to a beverage store, Chen Sheng passed by a mobile phone store. On a whim, he entered. ¡°Boss, do you have headphones here for this Pear phone?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Carrying his newly purchased headphones, Chen Sheng went to the beverage store and sat down. Listening to music, enjoying the breeze, basking in the sun. Watching the pedestrians passing by. Chen Sheng felt that his days were even morefortable. Two hourster. Only after Chen Sheng had a good rest did he leave the beverage store. After stretching, he started running towards his home. Forty minutester. ¡°Phew¡ª¡± Chen Sheng sat by the roadside, drinking the mineral water he just bought from a convenience store. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 0.90] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.96] [Skill Points: 0.11] He ran about five kilometers today, and his physical attribute increased once again. Chen Sheng estimated that it would take at most two more days for his physical qualities to return to normal human levels. After that, He would move faster towards bing superhuman. ¡°Let¡¯s keep it up!¡± With full confidence in his future, Chen Sheng stood up and proceeded to walk leisurely.action Chapter 7 7 Chapter 7: Daily Life and Strength Training Trantor: 549690339 Once home, Chen Sheng took a big bath,id down on his bed, and started his afternoon nap. When he woke up again, the sun had already set. Gurgle gurgle~ A signal of hunger came from his stomach. Chen Sheng immediately got up and went to the kitchen to prepare the food he bought this morning. Of course, he only prepared part of it. He purchased food for two days at once, just so he wouldn¡¯t have to go to the vegetable market every day. As for freshness and such. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t have high expectations for food. As long as his stomach is full, it¡¯s okay. An hourter. Chen Sheng, who was starving, jumped off his sofa and ran to the kitchen as soon as the rice cooker sounded. Corn and Pork Rib Soup, Braised Pork, ypot Beef, and Scrambled Eggs with ck Fungus. The meal isplete with arge bowl of rice. This is Chen Sheng¡¯s dinner. After dinner, Chen Sheng continued sitting and watching TV. Only after feeling the sense of fullness gradually disappear, he slowly began to clean up the remaining dinner dishes and threw the clothes into the washing machine. Once on the balcony, Chen Sheng took out his phone. Yesterday¡¯s training n had only included 34 push-ups, 23 sit-ups, and 50 squats. He recorded it all on his phone and then started tonight¡¯s training immediately. He positioned himself for the push-ups, ¡°Start!¡± During the training, time ticked silently away. Chen Shengid on the ground, gasping for air. Push-ups, 70. Sit-ups, 60. Squats, a full 100. Strength attribute increased by 0.02 again. With Chen Sheng¡¯s current physical conditions, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to do this much. Only by relying on the recovery effect brought by the attribute enhancement, he managed toplete more than half of the training progress. Another half an hour passed. Chen Sheng, who had gotten enough rest, saw that it was almost bedtime. He got up from the ground and walked towards the bathroom. After taking a bath, he went straight to bed to sleep. ¡¡ The next day. Chen Sheng came out of his room yawning. After washing up, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for himself. He took out six slices of whole wheat toast, smeared them evenly with peanut butter, and ced bananas on top. Two bottles of milk, along with two boiled eggs. A simple breakfast like this is ready. The sandwich recipe was told by Strong Bro to Chen Sheng. He said that although it looks simple, it is high in calories and highly nutritious. It¡¯s perfect for Chen Sheng. Half an hourter. Having put the kitchen in order, Chen Sheng left the house, ready to start his morning run. Fifty minutester. While drinking water, Chen Sheng, who ran 6 kilometers, was looking at the panel sitting on the roadside. [Strength: 0.92] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 0.98] [Skill Points: 0.15] Now, Chen Sheng could run two-thirds of the distance without stopping. The physical attribute has also increased by 0.02. He, who was exhausted just a moment ago, can already feel his energy gradually recovering. After running once in the gym, Chen Sheng¡¯s physical strength would be in the range of normal people. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng instantly got up from the ground, walking towards the gym with an excited face. Half an hourter. He arrived at the gym without a hitch. Because he left homete today, the gym was already open when he arrived. As soon as Chen Sheng entered the gym, he bumped into Yellow Hair Awei picking up the wristband at the receptionist desk. Seeing Chen Sheng, he instinctively curled his lips, turned his face away, and walked inside. ¡°Neurotic.¡± That was Chen Sheng¡¯s evaluation, and he also took a wristband from the front desk girl. Putting away his belongings. Chen Sheng went to the treadmill and started warming up. As expected, Ah Wei and Coach Jack took their ces once again, standing not far off, whispering about something. ¡°Ah Wei, you owe me a cup of coffee, don¡¯t forget it,¡± Coach Jackughed. ¡°No problem.¡± Ah Wei verbally agreed while turning his head away, gritting his teeth and casting a harsh look at Chen Sheng by the treadmill. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t see his expression. And if he had, he probably wouldn¡¯t have cared. He once thought that when in society, most people should be mature in their thoughts. It turns out it¡¯s not like that at all. Stupidity doesn¡¯t discriminate by age or gender. Chen Sheng, who had been working outside for a few years, had a deep understanding of this. Before long. Ah Wei came to the treadmill next to Chen Sheng, and they both started running at the same time. With the experience of his morning run, Chen Sheng decided to run a simr amount of time this time, which would allow his physical attribute to rise twice. Therefore, when Ah Wei, panting heavily, got off the treadmill and saw that Chen Sheng had no intention of stopping, his eyes nearly popped out. Is this guy a monster, or was he just ying dumb before? Perhaps he could feel Ah Wei¡¯s gaze, Chen Sheng turned his head, briefly looked at him indifferently, and didn¡¯t pay much heed. Mocking, once is enough. Provoking every day, it just shows oneself to be too petty. However, human thought is not telepathic. Chen Sheng¡¯s nce, in Ah Wei¡¯s understanding, was a provocative act. Especially that arrogant and dismissive attitude. It angered Ah Wei so much that he clenched his fists and his face turned red. A petty person taking satisfaction in sess. It¡¯s just a run, look at how pleased you seem with yourself. Your strength training is still pathetic! At this moment, Ah Wei wished he could pull Chen Sheng off the treadmill and give him a good beating. Fortunately, thinking of the gym¡¯s surveince, he ultimately controlled himself and headed straight for the strength area.action As for Chen Sheng, After running for fifty minutes, and when his constitution attribute rose for the second time, he stepped off the treadmill. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 0.92] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 1] [Skill Points: 0.17] Now that one attribute had finally reached normal human levels, Chen Sheng¡¯s face was filled with excitement. So much so that when he came to the strength area, Strong Bro looked at him, a hint of uncertainty on his face. ¡°Little Chen, what¡¯s the happy asion today?¡± he asked. ¡°Nothing, nothing.¡± Chen Sheng repeatedly waved his hands. ¡°I made some progress in my run today, so I¡¯m quite happy.¡± Oh? Hearing this, Strong Bro instantly became interested. In the gym, the strength area and the aerobic area are separate. Strong Bro had always been in the strength area, and hadn¡¯t paid much attention to Chen Sheng¡¯s running progress before. Under Strong Bro¡¯s interrogation, Chen Sheng divulged his changes over the past few days. Even though his progress was rapid, it was merely a return to normal, so he wasn¡¯t particrly worried about drawing attention. Listenting to Chen Sheng¡¯s ount, Strong Bro¡¯s reaction was no different from Ah Wei¡¯s, taking a long time to recover from his shock. ¡°Not bad, not bad, you¡¯re a promising young man!¡± Strong Broughed, patting Chen Sheng on the back. Chen Sheng could tell, Strong Bro was genuinely happy about his progress. Therefore, even though his back was stinging from the p, Chen Sheng still managed to smile. After a few more exchanges, both of them began their workout. This time, as soon as Chen Sheng picked up the dumbbell, he noticed a clear difference. This 10-kilogram dumbbell, did it seem too light to him? With that thought, Chen Sheng put the dumbbell down and picked up the 15-kilogram one. Only then did he feel the familiar weight. Chapter 8 8 Chapter 8: Competing and Strength Upgrade Trantor: 549690339 In the following training session. Chen Sheng actively asked to increase all of his training weights by 5 kg. He even directly increased his chest press weight by 10 kg. At first, Strong Bro was a bit worried. After all, strength training aims to maximize muscle load. One misstep, and it could lead to injury instead of training. However, As the training continued, The shock in Strong Bro¡¯s heart became more and more apparent. By the end, it couldn¡¯t be hidden and was written all over his face. Although Chen Sheng seemed to struggle, he actually managed to persevere. For someone who could barelyplete the lowest level of training just yesterday, this was a world of difference. Watching Chen Shengplete one training exercise after another, Strong Bro became more and more certain that Chen Sheng was ¡°that kind of person.¡± Even Coach Jack and Ah Wei, who were nearby, couldn¡¯t help but stop their actions and watch Chen Sheng in amazement. ¡°I remember the day before yesterday¡ he couldn¡¯t even do three sets with 10 kg dumbbells, right?¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng was doing chest presses. On both sides of the barbell, a 5 kg weight te had been added. From being someone he couldn¡¯t take seriously, to now being better at running and almost catching up in training weights, Ah Wei stared at the scene before him, remembering Chen Sheng¡¯s mockery during the run, and clenched his fists tightly around the dumbbells. If Chen Sheng keeps progressing at this speed, won¡¯t he be mocked every time hees to the gym? Ah Wei automaticallybeled Chen Sheng as someone who would gloat over small victories in his mind. Just thinking about this made him feel suffocated. In order to avoid being caught up by Chen Sheng, he desperately wanted to do something. Suddenly, Ah Wei¡¯s face hardened as if he made a decision. ¡°Coach, I want to add some weight too.¡± He looked up to Coach Jack and suggested. ¡°Ah Wei, you¡¡± Coach Jack immediately wanted to dissuade him. Although he didn¡¯t like Chen Sheng either, Ah Wei¡¯s limit was currently 23 kg, and any more could potentially injure him. However, Ah Wei didn¡¯t care about the coach¡¯s advice and directly picked up a 25 kg dumbbell, gritting his teeth as he lifted it. After that, he began doing dumbbellteral raises. This move required both hands to hold a dumbbell and the arms to constantly spread and fall. Ah Wei was clearly struggling with the 25 kg weight. After barelypleting one set, Ah Wei felt soreness in his shoulder joints. But he didn¡¯t n to give up. Taking a short break, he prepared to resume. One set. Two sets. Three sets. Until the fourth set. When Ah Wei lifted the dumbbell again, his arms started to tremble uncontrobly. But he looked at Chen Sheng. In order not to be surpassed, he decided toplete the training anyway. However, Ah Wei had barely done a few reps when his face turned red, and it seemed like he couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. But when he saw Chen Sheng, Somehow he found the strength to finish the fourth set. ¡°Not bad, kid!¡± Coach Jack couldn¡¯t help but pat Ah Wei on the shoulder. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to actually make it through.¡± Ah Wei chuckled but didn¡¯t say anything, instead looking defiantly at Chen Sheng. However, Chen Sheng never paid him any attention, remaining immersed in his training. Seeing this, Ah Wei snorted. In his opinion, the reason for Chen Sheng¡¯s rapid strength improvement over thest two days was most likely because it was his initial training phase when results are more apparent. Catching up with himself in the future wouldn¡¯t be that easy. ¡°Little Chen,¡± During Chen Sheng¡¯s break, Strong Bro suddenly spoke up. ¡°Do you have anything to do after training?¡± ¡°Nothing. Why?¡± Chen Sheng looked at Strong Bro with a puzzled expression. Strong Bro was checking something on his phone at the time. ¡°Let me take you to meet someer.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s confusion only deepened. Strong Bro gave a mysterious smile. It seemed like he was trying to convince Chen Sheng, He picked up a dumbbell by his side. This dumbbell weighed a full 50kg. But in Strong Bro¡¯s hands, it felt weightless. Next second, Something that nearly shattered Chen Sheng¡¯s worldview happened. Strong Bro gripped the bar with both hands and gently bent it. The metal bar instantly bent downwards. !!! With a swoosh. Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils shrank, and he suddenly stood up. ¡°Strong Bro, this¡¡± He pointed at the bent dumbbell, looking shocked. Are there others in this world besides himself, maybe¡ ¡°Little Chen, I know what you want to say.¡± ¡°But this skill is nothing.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re interested, I can introduce you to even stronger people.¡± Strong Bro exined with a smile. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. ¡°Strong Bro, are you some kind of hidden martial arts master?¡± ¡°Now you see my potential and want to take me as a disciple?!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to worship you as my master!¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand. Directly making the decision for Strong Bro. ¡°Master is here¡ª¡± ¡°No no no!¡± Seeing that in just two seconds, he would have another disciple, Strong Bro hurriedly stopped him. ¡°I¡¯m not some martial arts master, so it¡¯s useless for you to worship me.¡± Chen Sheng was still a bit unwilling. Although he can be stronger by relying on the Golden Finger, Getting stronger, is the goal. Bing a martial arts master, is the dream. Both are not contradictory. Maybe there¡¯s some kind of internal cultivation or something, and if he learns it, his attribute could skyrocket. ¡°Strong Bro, please ept me. As long as you teach me kung fu, I¡¯ll take care of you in the future.¡± Chen Sheng patted his chest loudly. ¡°Get lost!¡± ¡°I have a daughter, I don¡¯t need you to take care of me!¡±action Strong Bro couldn¡¯t help but p Chen Sheng on the back of his head. ¡°Just practice honestly.¡± ¡°Indeed, as you said, I see your potential.¡± ¡°If you really want to learn martial arts, I can introduce you to someer.¡± ¡°That person is the real martial arts master.¡± ¡°As for whether you can pass, it depends on your performance.¡± Saying this, Strong Bro secretly pointed to the camera on the wall and winked at Chen Sheng. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng remembered the other party¡¯s previous action of looking at their phone. He immediately understood. ¡°Strong Bro, give me the full package!¡± ¡°I want the heaviest!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mess around, just do it seriously.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± One hour passed. After the training, Strong Bro left the strength area first and asked Chen Sheng to wait where he was. Chen Sheng knew, Strong Bro went to find that ¡®Martial Arts Master.¡¯ With an excited heart, Chen Sheng sat in a chair, checking the results of today¡¯s training. Sure enough. After this training session, his strength attribute increased by 0.02 again, getting closer to the normal range. The fatigue in his muscles was also slowly fading. He sat for a while longer. Just as Chen Sheng was hesitating whether he should train a bit more, Strong Bro came back. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to meet someone.¡± Chen Sheng immediately stood up, following Strong Bro with an excited look. The two headed deeper into the gym, finally reaching a door in the VIP area. At this moment, Muffled thuds wereing from inside the room. ¡°Tiger Bro, I¡¯ve brought the person.¡± Chapter 9 9 Chapter 9: Tiger Bro and Spiritual Qi Awakening Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng was inexplicably nervous. Tiger Bro, this name didn¡¯t sound like a good person at first hearing. Could the muffled sound in the room be someone being beaten up? Would he be surrounded by a group of men in ck once he entered and killed if he didn¡¯t join?! Thinking of this, Cold sweat dripped from Chen Sheng¡¯s forehead, and his body unconsciously shuddered. He was just a humble unemployed worker who had never witnessed such a scene. ¡°Little Chen, what are you staring at? Come in.¡± Just as Chen Sheng hesitated whether to retreat or not, Strong Bro¡¯s voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts. The opponent was looking at him with a baffled expression. ¡°Oh, oh¡I¡¯ming.¡± Chen Sheng clenched his fists, secretly cheering himself up. Afterward, He took a deep breath and stepped into the room. As expected! Upon entering the room, Chen Sheng saw a man covered in scars, standing shirtless in the center of the room, staring at him. The fierce aura hit him in the face, almost suffocating him. In just an instant, Chen Sheng felt goosebumps all over his body about to explode. He immediately wanted to turn around and leave. Bang! However, The room was already closed by Strong Bro behind him. It¡¯s over! Chen Sheng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. His fate was sealed! Having the Golden Finger butcking vignce. Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng, You¡¯re too foolish! Chen Sheng closed his eyes, his facial expressions changing rapidly, making the two people in front of him confused. ¡°Brother Little Chen¡¡± Tiger Bro hesitated to speak. ¡°Tiger Bro, right? Hi, nice to meet you.¡± Chen Sheng went up and shook hands with Li Chenghu, shaking them vigorously. He forced a smile on his face, Which was even more miserable than crying. ¡°Little brother just remembered, the clothes hanging at home aren¡¯t dry yet, I¡¯m really sorry I can¡¯t have a chat with Tiger Bro.¡± Saying that, Chen Sheng naturally turned around and walked to the door, preparing to twist the door handle. ¡°I¡¯ll entertain Tiger Bro another day!¡± Click. The door had a smart lock, Without a sensor key, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t open it. A drop of cold sweat slowly dripped from Chen Sheng¡¯s forehead, who was feigning a smile. Watching this scene, Tiger Bro and Strong Bro looked at each other. Tiger Bro looked both amused and annoyed. Strong Bro covered his forehead and sighed deeply. Seeing the two of them react this way, Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment. Then, ¡°Little Chen, right? Wait for me for a moment.¡± Tiger Bro gave Chen Sheng a gentle smile, then turned and walked to the corner of the room, taking a business card from his backpack and handing it to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng took a look. [Quanjiang Martial Arts Association Committee Member] [Quanjiang Xingwu Hall]action [Li Chenghu] Upon seeing this business card, Chen Sheng immediately realized what a big joke he had just made. He looked to Strong Bro for help. Strong Bro simply looked up at the sky, ignoring him. Too embarrassing. It was a shame that he had such high hopes for this kid earlier. But he came up and made such a scene. It¡¯s simply outrageous. Fortunately, Although Li Chenghu looked fierce on the surface, His style of doing things was very different from his appearance. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve been misunderstood many times before, not just once or twice because of you.¡± ¡°Little Chen, sit up, let¡¯s talk about something important.¡± He smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn¡¯t mind, and walked towards the tea table in the corner of the room. Seeing this, Chen Sheng also got up from the ground and sat down at the table with Strong Bro. Tiger Bro starts to make tea. ¡°Little Chen, the next question might be a bit presumptuous.¡± ¡°If you feel ufortable, you don¡¯t have to answer.¡± Li Chenghu said with a grin as he made tea. It seemed like he was just chatting with a friend. At first, Chen Sheng, who was somewhat restrained, was affected and his mind unconsciously rxed. He slowly nodded. ¡°Has the change in your body just started recently?¡± However, The first question from Li Chenghu made Chen Sheng¡¯s heart shudder. His panel did indeed only appear recently. If it wasn¡¯t for the panel, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have made such quick progress in training his body, and he wouldn¡¯t be noticed by Strong Bro. But, How did Tiger Bro in front of him know? Could it be¡ there are more people with panels than just him? Just as Chen Sheng was thinking about how to answer, Li Chenghu seemed to see his doubts, and smiled slightly without pressing further. ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t answer.¡± ¡°But I can answer some of the doubts in your heart.¡± As soon as this remark was made, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes were immediately attracted to him. However, Li Chenghu didn¡¯t continue speaking immediately. He finished making tea and poured it for Chen Sheng and Strong Bro. After that, He picked up the teacup and took a sip with his eyes squinted. Chen Sheng wasn¡¯t in a hurry either. He followed suit and took a sip of tea. It wasn¡¯t until then, Li Chenghu across the table spoke again. ¡°Do you know about ¡®Qi¡¯?¡± ¡°Qi?¡± Chen Sheng questioned with confusion. ¡°Qi is a kind of energy.¡± ¡°Throughout ancient and modern times, it has had many names.¡± ¡°Inner strength, True Qi, and Mana, are all synonyms for Qi.¡± ¡°These are all real but have been possessed and controlled by only a tiny number of people with extraordinary talents from ancient times to the present.¡± It¡¯s starting! The ssic scene in novels where the protagonist, who once had an ordinary life, witnesses the true extraordinary power of the world guided by a mysterious figure. From then on, he embarks on his grand and epic life journey. Hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes brightened, and he immediately became excited. He shamelesslypared himself to the protagonist at the same time. He hastily asked Li Chenghu. ¡°Tiger Bro, are you saying that I¡¯m one of those legendary chosen ones who can control and harness Qi, and that¡¯s why you found me?¡± ¡°No, not exactly.¡± Reality is often cruel. Li Chenghu¡¯s reply, like a bucket of cold water, sshed onto Chen Sheng¡¯s head. In less than a second, Chen Sheng experienced the ups and downs of life. His expression went directly from excitement to disappointment. ¡°Don¡¯t be disappointed yet, I haven¡¯t finished my story.¡± Li Chenghu changed the subject. Only then did Chen Sheng regain his spirits and prepare to listen to Li Chenghu continue. ¡°Qi, although it is an energy existing on Blue Star.¡± ¡°However, it exhibits tidal properties.¡± ¡°In our living environment, the concentration of Qi is not constant.¡± ¡°As time goes by, it will keep rising until it reaches its peak, and then it will start to decline, continuing in cycles.¡± ¡°In history, those eras in which many talents were born, those periods with a high number of extraordinary people, were the ¡®tide rising periods¡¯ of Qi.¡± ¡°For hundreds of years before this, the concentration of Qi had been at a low level, which was the longest period of low Qi.¡± ¡°But since half a year ago, the tide rising period began, and the concentration of Qi has been increasing at an unprecedented speed.¡± ¡°Even now, it is still rising, far exceeding any previous tide rising periods.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng suddenly understood. ¡°Tiger Bro, do you mean¡ Spiritual Qi Awakening??¡± Chapter 10 10 Chapter 10: Agreement and Three Body Posture Kungfu Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng thought about the questions he had seen previously about the new realm of the Martial Arts Association while eating noodles. At that time, he felt that the names of these realms were a bit exaggerated, just like those in a fantasy novel. Many people on the Inte also joked about the Spiritual Qi Awakeninging. Who would have thought¡ it was actually true. ¡°In your young people¡¯s words, it is not wrong to say that the Spiritual Qi Awakening ising.¡± ¡°The new set of realms are used for Qi-sensors and Heavenly People.¡± Li Chenghu nodded in agreement with Chen Sheng¡¯s summary. ¡°However, the Spiritual Qi Awakening is not for everyone.¡± ¡°Most people cannot perceive the existence of Qi, only a very few people with special talents can actively perceive and control Qi.¡± ¡°These people with special talents are called Heavenly People.¡± ¡°But this is not absolute.¡± ¡°There are some people who, although they cannot actively perceive Qi, their bodies have a high degree ofpatibility with Qi, and can be affected by Qi.¡± ¡°When the Tide Rising Period arrives, the most obvious characteristic of these people is that their physical fitness will go through a rapid transformation phase.¡± ¡°Through special cultivation techniques and training methods, they can maximize their body¡¯s potential.¡± ¡°Although they cannot be masters of Qi, they can still possess physical fitness far beyond ordinary people.¡± ¡°These people are called Qi-sensors.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng immediately understood the reason why Li Chenghu approached him. It must be because of his change in physical fitness these days that the other party thought he was a Qi-sensor. But in reality, If it were not for the appearance of the Panel, Chen Sheng would still be weak, and might not even be able to beat middle school students. However, since they have reached this point, he has no intention of exining it. Rather, he might as well let this wonderful misunderstanding continue. After all, the existence of the Panel can also help Chen Sheng improve his physical fitness. It¡¯s no different from being a Qi-sensor. ¡°Tiger Bro, do you mean I¡¯m a Qi-sensor?¡± Chen Sheng pretended to be surprised and pointed at himself. Li Chenghu nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Although the existence of Heavenly People is terrifying, they are hardly the same species as humans.¡± ¡°But Qi-sensors are also rare talents.¡± ¡°So, Little Brother Chen, I came to you because I want to¡ª¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng got the hint. ¡°Master is¡ª¡± In terms of climbing up thedder, Chen Sheng is confident that he is second to none. ¡°Wait!¡± At the critical moment, Li Chenghu hurriedly stopped Chen Sheng, who was about to stand up. Even with one hand, it was like a boulder, no matter how hard Chen Sheng tried, his body could only be firmly fixed in his seat. ¡°Phew¡ª¡± Li Chenghu took a long breath. He almost didn¡¯t stop the boy. ¡°If you want to join my Xingwu Gym, I need to check your qualifications first.¡± ¡°Sensing Qi with your body is one aspect, but your talent for martial arts is another.¡± ¡°If your martial arts talent is not good, you¡¯d be better off working out than practicing martial arts.¡± Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s puzzled gaze, Li Chenghu exined. ¡°Besides, even if your qualifications pass in my opinion, you can¡¯t be my disciple immediately.¡± ¡°At that time, I will take you to meet the grand master of Xingwu Gym, my father, Li Xingwu.¡± ¡°Only with his consent can I ept you as my disciple.¡± So, that¡¯s how it is! After hearing the exnation, Chen Sheng suddenly realized. So close, He almost called out ¡°Master¡± for nothing. Chen Sheng quickly stood up and casually sat back in his seat. ¡°Tiger Bro, please forgive me, I am just eager to learn martial arts.¡± ¡°So, how do I test my qualifications now, is there a crystal ball or something, as soon as I touch it, it starts to glow, the brighter the better the talent?¡± Chen Sheng grinned and apologized to Tiger Bro with a fist salute. It seemed that he didn¡¯t care about the embarrassing incident that had just happened. Such shamelessness made Strong Bro¡¯s eyes almost roll to the sky. Even though Li Chenghu had seen a lot, he had rarely seen someone with Chen Sheng¡¯s personality. Fortunately, he was not repulsed by it. Li Chenghu stood up and walked to a corner of the room. When he came back, he held an old-looking book in his hand. ¡°Your test is this.¡± Chen Sheng took the book. There were three big characters on it. ¡°Three-body Stance¡± He flipped through the book. Each page had an illustration of a posture, and dense annotations were beside it. ¡°The Three Body Posture Kungfu is the foundation of my Xingyi Fist.¡± ¡°Only by practicing stance well and building a solid foundation can you begin learning Xingyi Fist.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a week to familiarize yourself with the stance practice, thene find me.¡± ¡°At that time, I¡¯ll naturally be able to tell your aptitude.¡± Chen Sheng had naturally heard of the great reputation of Xingyi Fist. Although there were videos of the Three Body Stance everywhere on the inte, He knew that the essence of this book was in those annotations. Every movement, every detail, every key point, It was all written in detail in the book. At first nce, it was a private training manual. Li Chenghu would give such a precious thing to him? Chen Sheng raised his head, just about to ask. But he saw Li Chenghu already left the tea table and returned to the sandbag in the room. ¡°Little Chen.¡± Li Chenghu looked at Chen Sheng. ¡°What kind of existence is a Qi-sensor.¡± ¡°I can show you now.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenghu¡¯s aura suddenly changed. Like a treasure sword unsheathed, a sharp energy overflowed. He saw him lift his leg, Next second. His leg, like a long whip, turned into a phantom and fiercelyshed at the sandbag. Bang! The iron chain connecting the sandbag instantly snapped. The heavy sandbag immediately flew out. Bang! There was another muffled sound. The sandbag mmed heavily into the wall. On the originally smooth wall, a pit full of spider-web-like cracks instantly appeared. Crack! The teacup in Chen Sheng¡¯s hand dropped directly to the ground. His mouth wide open, he stared nkly at the pit on the wall, unable to close it for a long time. In an instant, Chen Sheng was absolutely certain. This was what he wanted. He also wanted to possess the kind of power Li Chenghu had, or even surpass him. He wanted to explore his own limits. He wanted topete with equally strong opponents. This was the grand life he desired! With such feelings, When Chen Sheng looked at the book in his hand again, his eyes were filled with fiery heat. Seeing his performance, Li Chenghu and Strong Bro looked at each other and exchanged knowing expressions. No man could resist this. ¡°Little Chen.¡± It wasn¡¯t until Li Chenghu spoke again that Chen Sheng came back to his senses from his excitement. ¡°See you in seven days?¡± He asked with a smile. ¡°No.¡± However, Chen Sheng shook his head. Li Chenghu was suddenly a bit confused. Could it be¡ this kid didn¡¯t like this kind of thing? Just when he thought Chen Sheng was an exception, He saw Chen Sheng suddenly raise his head. His eyes, full of determination, met Li Chenghu¡¯s gaze. Then, Chen Sheng grinned. ¡°Let¡¯s meet tomorrow.¡± Chapter 11 11 Chapter 11: Practice and Skills Upgrade Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Tiger Bro, you¡¯re not even sure about Little Chen¡¯s martial arts talent, yet you gave him the Three Body Posture Secret Book. Isn¡¯t that a little rash?¡± After Chen Sheng left, Strong Bro was sipping tea while talking to Tiger Bro who was training. The sandbag had been reced. The muffled thumping sounds echoed through the room again. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Qi-sensors have more than just one path to follow in martial arts.¡± ¡°He¡¯s an interesting person, and maybe he can help me in the future.¡± As Li Chenghu spoke, his breathing remained steady, and his movements never paused. ¡°Are you serious?¡± Strong Bro looked bewildered. Tiger Bro¡¯s work is extremely dangerous, and a slight misstep could lead to death. Strong Bro originally worked with Tiger Bro, but after the Tide Rising Period, he left the dangerous work. Now he is working as an ordinary boxing instructor at the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Li Chenghu nodded. Thinking back to Chen Sheng¡¯s actions just now, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up slightly. ¡°Facing those Qi-sensors who have practiced for decades and even the Heavenly Person monsters, we are already at a disadvantage in terms of strength.¡± ¡°What we need now is someone like him, who has an unusual way of thinking.¡± After hearing Li Chenghu¡¯s exnation, Strong Bro was still hesitant. ¡°You want to pull that kid into fighting against the Heavenly Person, but I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll agree?¡± If Qi-sensors are considered superhuman in front of ordinary people, Then the Heavenly Person is the Superman in front of Qi-sensors. Just one newly awakened Heavenly Person could easily kill a Qi-sensor who had been training hard for more than ten years. The gap between the two is enormous, like heaven and earth. So, whether Chen Sheng would agree to join Li Chenghu, Strong Bro was deeply skeptical. ¡°He¡¯ll agree.¡± Nevertheless, Li Chenghu was very sure. He stopped his movements, came to the tea table, and took a sip of the tea. After that, he nced at Strong Bro and said, ¡°You only took him to the gym twice, and he trusted you enough toe and see me.¡± ¡°In this era, such people are rare, aren¡¯t they?¡± Having said that, Li Chenghu resumed his training. Leaving Strong Bro sitting in ce, rubbing his bald head, looking confused. ¡°Is that it??¡± ¡°You sure it¡¯s not because my personal charm is too strong?¡± Li Chenghu didn¡¯t respond to Strong Bro¡¯s narcissism. He had already returned to the center of the room and started training again. As he punched the sandbag, Li Chenghu thought of what Chen Sheng had said before he left, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up slightly. ¡°See you tomorrow, huh¡interesting.¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯ll be looking forward to it.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chen Sheng walked out of the gym, looking at the booklet in his hand, still feeling a bit excited. The scene of Li Chenghu kicking the sandbag in front of him just now was still vivid in his mind. That kick, It also made him look forward to what wasing next in his life. However, anticipation aside, it was still something in the future. After calming down, Chen Sheng put the booklet into his clothes pocket and nned to go for lunch first. He had hot pot for two days in a row. Today, he decided to change it up. After walking around the nearby area, Chen Sheng determined his target. [Cattleman Kojiro] This is a high-end barbecue restaurant. Considering Chen Sheng¡¯s appetite now, a buffet would be perfect. With that in mind, he walked straight into the restaurant. After paying, he could order by scanning a QR code with his phone. [A5 Wagyu] X5 [Snowke Wagyu] X5 [Lamb chops] X5 Chen Sheng waved his hand confidently, ordering a whole bunch of dishes. The waiter at the side looked nervous, advising Chen Sheng to be cautious and stating the restaurant¡¯s rules against wasting food. In the end, with Chen Sheng¡¯s repeated assurances, the waiter finally ced the order for him. Not long after, te after te of meat was brought to his table. Chen Sheng eagerly put the meat on the grill. The fat-rich beef sizzled under high heat, oozing oil that made Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth water. Two hourster, Chen Sheng left the restaurant with a full stomach just as mealtime ended. When it was time to pay, a man dressed in casual clothes, who seemed to be the boss, kept staring at Chen Sheng. He felt so uneasy that he even suspected that he might get cklisted. Fortunately, The boss in the end didn¡¯t say a word and simply watched Chen Sheng leave. After lunch, Chen Sheng, following his usual routine, continued to rest at the beverage shop for a brief moment. It wasn¡¯t until the food in his stomach had almost been digested that he got up and started running back home. One hourter. Chen Sheng, drinking mineral water, sat by the roadside to rest. He had run seven kilometers in one go, and now he was only about two kilometers away from home. His physical attribute increased by 0.02 again, reaching 1.02. Based on his current training results, Chen Sheng estimated that starting from tomorrow morning, he would be able to run the entire course in one go. At that time, for every run, his physical attribute should be able to increase by 0.03. The stronger he bes, The faster his improvement rate would be. Every time he thought about this, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t contain his excitement. ¡°Let¡¯s go again!¡± Taking advantage of the restored energy from the attribute increase, Chen Sheng decided to push forward and run directly back home. Twenty minutester. Chen Sheng arrived home sessfully. Normally, he would take a shower and then go for a nap at this time. But his curiosity about the Three-Body Stance was too strong to resist any longer. After a brief rest, he went straight to the balcony and took out the Three-Body Stance to learn. The movements of the Three-Body Stance were notplicated. For any person, practicing for just a few hours would make them look decent. But being able to do it was one thing. Whether it works or not was another matter. The real core of the Three-Body Stance lied in how to exert force for each movement and how to control breathing. Only when the correct force and breathing are achieved, can the true power of the Three-Body Stance be unleashed. As for higher levels, concerning the state of mind and such, Although it was also written in the small book, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t understand it at all. He studied the small book pretentiously for two hours before he barely managed to remember the requirements for the movements. However, remembering them was one thing,action Whether he could do them was another matter. Fortunately, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t intend to learn slowly. He directly called up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 0.94] [Agility: 0.92] [Constitution: 1.02] [Skills: Limit-breaker Body, Running, Three-Body Stance Kungfu] [Skill Points: 0.21] As expected, The Three-Body Stance had appeared in the skill column. [Three Body Posture v0: 1/100] His proficiency was only a pitiful 1 point. But skill points, aren¡¯t they supposed to be used at times like this? Chen Sheng focused his mind and pressed the plus sign behind the Three-Body Stance. [Three Body Posture lv1: 1/500] The instant he added points, Various memories about the Three-Body Stance suddenly appeared in Chen Sheng¡¯s mind. It was as if he had practiced for a long time, and he knew every detail of each movement, every force, and breath, like the back of his hand. Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t wait to start practicing. This time, he clearly felt the difference. When doing the Three-Body Stance, every muscle in his body was exerting force. At this moment, His body felt like a machine made up of precise instruments. What seemed like a simple movement involved every single muscle in his body. Chen Sheng became more and more excited as he practiced, eventually entering a state ofplete forgetfulness. Even as the sky gradually darkened and it was mealtime, he had no idea. It wasn¡¯t until his stomach repeatedly sent signals of hunger, That Chen Sheng abruptly snapped out of his state of oblivion. With a thud! The moment he regained his senses, Chen Sheng felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body. He copsed on the ground and started breathing heavily. He checked the time. Unknowingly, two hours had passed. Chen Sheng called up the panel. The next second, His eyes widened in disbelief. He had practiced the Three-Body Stance for two hours. Constitution and Strength, Both had increased by 0.05! Even Agility had increased by 0.04. Chapter 12 12 Chapter 12: Practice and Great Upgrade Trantor: 549690339 In just two hours. The improvement the Three-body Stance brought to Chen Sheng was even stronger than the effect of his entire day of training. Driven by excitement, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t wait to get up again and practice incessantly through the night. However, When Chen Sheng wanted to make a move. He found that his body waspletely weak. Not to mention practicing the Three-body Stance. He was now struggling to even get up from the ground. What¡¯s going on? After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Sheng quickly understood the reason. The improvement of his attributes was essentially the rapid conversion of energy within his body. The reason he was in a state of copse was probably due to the rapid increase in his attributes in a short period of time, causing a severe depletion of energy in his body. If it weren¡¯t for the improvement of his Physical Attribute which also came with recovering physical strength. He might have fainted already. Thinking of this,action Chen Sheng could only temporarily give up the idea of continuing to practice the Three-body Stance. It took him ten minutes to recover some strength before getting up from the ground. Slowly climbing up from the ground, Chen Sheng staggered towards the kitchen. Fortunately, Before leaving the house in the morning, Chen Sheng had already marinated the meat and there was leftover rice in the rice cooker. He took the meat out of the refrigerator and deep-fried it. Stir-fried some cabbage. Finally, he made fried rice with the leftover rice. It took half an hour. And a simple and nutritious dinner was ready. Chen Sheng turned on the TV, watching the evening news while eating dinner. At the beginning, the news channel was broadcasting national news. These were too far away from Chen Sheng, so he didn¡¯t pay much attention to them. But when the local news started, his attention was immediately drawn. [The suspect of the Quangang District murder case that happened the day before yesterday, Zhao Hui, is still on the run] [ording to the reporter¡¯stest news, Zhao Hui¡¯sst trace was in Jincheng District, warning the citizens to be cautious and not to endanger themselves] Hearing this, Chen Sheng was stunned. His location was in Jincheng District. He had just watched the news about this murderer Zhao Hui yesterday. He had killed nine people at a construction site and killed four policemen during his escape. Such behavior was horrifying. Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but suspect that Zhao Hui might be a Qi-sensor¡ or even a Heavenly Person? Thinking that such a terrifying person might be just a few kilometers away from himself, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but shiver. He instinctively closed his eyes, praying that he would not encounter the other party. He was only twenty-five years old. His beautiful life had just begun, and he hadn¡¯t even experienced love yet. He didn¡¯t want to die at the hands of a murderer. While Chen Sheng was pretending to pray to various gods, the TV started to broadcast a series of news. [The suspect of the electric bicycle theft case that urred in Zhangcheng District the other day has been arrested] [Yesterday, in a university in Jincheng District, a student got into a conflict with his roommate after returning to the dormitory¡] [The day before yesterday, a bar in the Port District broke out in a fight, causing multiple injuries. Below is the surveince video¡..The suspect is still atrge, and our channel is closely watching for thetest information from the police] In just three news reports, a lot of information was revealed. Especially thest report. On the surveince video, a bare-handed figure rushed straight into the crowd. The subsequent footage was not shown. But the result was clear at the end of the news. Chen Sheng picked up his phone and searched for news from various ces on the inte. ¡°The Tide Rising Period had begun half a year ago, and the concentration of Qi had been increasing at an unprecedented rate.¡± ¡°It hasn¡¯t shown any signs of stopping.¡± Thinking back to what Li Chenghu had said in the afternoon, Chen Sheng felt a heavy burden on his heart. He had an intuition, That the impact of the Tide Rising Period would continue to expand. Even someone like himself who just wanted to train his body honestly might get involved. Chen Sheng¡¯s palm tightened slightly. Before that, he had to ensure he had enough strength. With that thought, Chen Sheng quickly finished dinner, cleaned up the mess, and went straight to the balcony. ¡°Train!¡± ¡°If it doesn¡¯t kill me, I¡¯ll train it to death!¡± Before practicing the Three-Body Technique, Chen Sheng decided to test his physical fitness first. After doing a warm-up of hands and feet, he put his hands on the ground andy down. 10 minutes. 100 push-ups, done easily! 10 minutes. 100 sit-ups, done easily! Another 10 minutes. Afterpleting 100 squats, Chen Sheng felt it was too easy. That won¡¯t do. He must do another hundred! In the end. Chen Sheng exceeded his training goal set a few days ago. Strength attribute increased by 0.03, following the physical attribute, the second one has reached the standard of normal people. ¡°Huff¡ª¡ª¡± Chen Sheng easily rose from the ground, feeling that he still had a lot of energy left. His muscles were just barely filled with blood. Next was the practice of the Three-body Stance. But before starting, Chen Sheng decided to go out first. Practicing the Three-body Stance will consume a lot of energy. All the food at home had been cleared out by him at dinner time. He decided to go out and buy something first to prevent excessive energy consumption at night Half an hourter. Chen Sheng returned home, carrying tworge bags of fast food boxes in his hands. The boss of Sha County Snacks, now when he sees Chen Sheng, he treats him as warmly as family. Initially, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t intend to buy so much. But the shop was about to close, so the owner gave all the leftover food to Chen Sheng. After Chen Sheng ¡°refused several times¡±, he ¡°reluctantly¡± epted it. He left the food boxes in the living room. Chen Sheng went back to the balcony. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and adjusted his body¡¯s condition. Then, He slowly started to perform the Three-Body Technique movements. Force. Posture. Breathing. With Chen Sheng fully focused, his in-body energy was consumed rapidly, and his body was quickly enhanced. Two and a half hours passed in a sh. Chen Sheng¡¯s entire skin had a slight red hue. In the cool autumn night, one could see constant waves of heat emanating from his body surface. ¡°Huff¡ª¡ª¡± Chen Sheng took a deep breath and slowly retracted his stance. This time, he did not let himself bepletely exhausted, instead retaining some energy for basic activities. However, the growth of his attributes was even more impressive than in the afternoon. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.08] [Agility: 1.0] [Constitution: 1.13] [Skill Points: 0.42] Both strength and constitution increased by 0.06. Even agility increased by 0.04, sessfully entering the normal range for a person. The increase in skill points was even greater. At this pace, Chen Sheng could upgrade his Three-Body Technique again by tomorrow. He closed the panel. Chen Sheng felt extremely rxed and happy. Just in time, his stomach began to signal hunger. He went to the living room to eat the food he had brought back from Sha County Snacks. Although it was cold, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t mind and still enjoyed it very much. After eating, Chen Sheng took a short break. Seeing that it was almost time, he started cleaning up and preparing for bed. One hourter. ¡°Feels good!¡± Chen Sheng, who had been training all day, felt every cell of his body cheering the instant heid on the bed. He turned off the light. Soon, Chen Sheng fell into a deep sleep again. Chapter 13 13 Chapter 13: Agility and Physical Changes Trantor: 549690339 Quanjiang City, Jincheng District. Wutong Vige. Early morning. Giggle, giggle, giggle¡ª¡ª ¡°Heh¡ª¡ª¡± Apanied by the crowing of a rooster. Chen Sheng took a sharp breath, waking up all at once. Thump, thump, thump. Heartbeat sounding like muffled drums, incessantly exploding next to his ear. Noisy sounds, from the outside world, kept flowing into his ears, making him somewhat agitated. Chen Sheng threw off the quilt, and went to the window. With a bang. He mmed the window shut. In an instant. The entire world became much quieter. Returning to bed, Chen Sheng breathed deeply a few times, his heartbeat gradually calming down. What the hell is going on? Chen Sheng furrowed his brow, as he sat contemting by the bedside. He had been back for several days. In the past, due to his training, Chen Sheng used to sleep very soundly. Outside noise never bothered him. But today, these sounds seemed to have been amplified several times, this is why he had awoken abruptly. Chen Sheng summoned his panel. Nothing exceptional on the panel, still maintainingst night¡¯s values. Suddenly, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze fell on the Agility Attribute. [Agility: Represents body coordination, sensory activity, and neural reflex.] Since he had the panel,st night was the first time the Agility Attribute rose. Could it be his sensory changes originated from the Agility Attribute? Thinking about this, Chen Sheng immediately walked out of the room, and went to the balcony to experiment. Standing at the edge of the balcony, he gazed into the distance. Chen Sheng¡¯s vision, due to sitting in the office staring at theputer screen for many years, although not bad, definitely wasn¡¯t good either. In the past, as long as he stared at something for a little bit too long, his eyes would get sore, and his vision would rapidly blur. There were frequent urrences of losing focus too. But now, Chen Sheng was looking at the golden rice fields in the distance, and the busy silhouettes in the field. He could even see the color of the clothes the people in the rice field were wearing. For many people with good eyesight, this would be quite normal. But Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t seen such a clear view in God knows how long. Not only that. When Chen Sheng concentrated his attention. He could faintly hear the voices of the aunties downstairs chatting. He could smell the aroma drifting from the nearby breakfast shop. Every sense was a lot clearer than before. The new experience made him stay on the balcony for a long time. Until the gurgling sound of hunger came from his stomach, did Chen Sheng snap back to his senses. Seeing that it was still early. Chen Sheng headed to the bathroom, preparing to brush and wash up. But when he looked into the mirror, he got a scare. The Chen Sheng in the mirror, his facepletely pale, lips devoid of any color. It was distinctly the look of someone with a markedly depleted body. ¡°What the fuck?!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Chen Sheng looked shocked. He clearly didn¡¯t feel anything wrong with his body. So why did he look so terrible? Could it be he trained too much, causing his body to be depleted? Thinking it over, Chen Sheng felt that this exnation seemed the most reasonable. Once he thought of this. He immediately abandoned his original n to practice the Three-body Stance before going out. When he gets to the gym, he will ask Tiger Bro if it¡¯s because of the Three-body Stance. Thinking this, Chen Sheng directly walked out of the door, heading towards the vegetable market to shop for food. One hourter. Chen Sheng, carrying big and small bags of food arrived home, filling up the fridge to the brim. Next, He made a few Banana Peanut Butter Sandwiches, quickly filled his stomach, and then headed out again. After much hesitation. Chen Sheng did not n to give up on morning jogging. Jogging for him now, shouldn¡¯t amount to a lot of energy expended. If any problem arises, he will simply stop immediately. After slightly stretching his arms and legs. Chen Sheng took up pace once again, running towards the urban area. On his way, Due to the significant increase in his attributes, Chen Sheng felt an unprecedented ease. The situation he had been constantly worrying about didn¡¯t ur. One hourter. Chen Sheng stopped downstairs of the gym. He opened a bottle of mineral water, taking small sips. After slightly calming his breathing, Chen Sheng called out the panel. His physical attribute had increased by 0.03. Now, he was finally able to run the full course without stopping, and even his speed was faster than before. After resting for a while, Chen Sheng saw the gym just opening and went directly to the receptionist to get his wristband and then headed to the changing room. As soon as he entered the changing room, Chen Sheng heard a familiar loud voice. ¡°Little Chen!¡± Strong Bro was changing his clothes, and as soon as he saw Chen Sheng, he greeted him warmly. But the next second, A shocked expression appeared on his face. ¡°Kid, where did you gost night?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you went to brothel?¡± Having said that, without waiting for Chen Sheng to answer, Strong Bro patted his shoulder earnestly. ¡°I know you young people are full of vim and vigour, but we martial artists, are greatly dependent on our seminal and vital energy.¡± ¡°asionally it¡¯s okay, but remember not to indulge too much.¡± After hearing Strong Bro¡¯s remarks, Chen Sheng was confused. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°I was at home all night practicing the Three-body Stance. I didn¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Hearing this, Strong Bro appeared even more surprised. ¡°The Three-body Stance?¡± ¡°Show me how you do it.¡± A newbie, just starting to learn the Three-body Stance, and without a teacher by their side to correct their posture, simply cannot grasp the essentials of the movements right away. And without mastering the essentials of the Three-body Stance, it wouldn¡¯t cause this kind of vital energy deficiency. Therefore, Strong Bro wanted to see how Chen Sheng was practicing the Three-body Stance. Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded, adjusted his body on the spot, and demonstrated the starting movements of Three Body Posture Kungfu. Strong Bro sat in the chair, appearing quite rxed. Truth be told, He didn¡¯t believe Chen Sheng¡¯s deficiency of vital energy was due to practicing the Three-body Stance. Although he hadn¡¯t formally trained with Li Chenghu, he also learned the Three-body stance for health and fitness. He spent an entire month just to barely be able to correctlyplete the Three-body Stance without a teacher. However, When Chen Sheng officially started, Strong Bro¡¯s expression changed instantly. From originally rxed, it gradually turned into shock. Three minutester. With a swish, Strong Bro suddenly stood up from his chair. His actions were so abrupt that he knocked over the chair. But Strong Bro didn¡¯t care about it. ¡°You¡you¡¡± His eyes were as wide as copper bells, pointing at Chen Sheng, he was speechless for a long time. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Strong Bro, did I do something wrong in my practice?¡± Seeing Strong Bro¡¯s reaction, Chen Sheng thought he was doing it wrong and hurriedly stopped and asked. Smack! Strong Bro didn¡¯t say a word. He just grabbed Chen Sheng¡¯s wrist and led him straight out of the changing room. Despite the significant enhancement of his attributes, in front of Strong Bro, the muscr monster, Chen Sheng still had no resistance. He could only allow himself to be led. ¡°Strong Bro, where are we going?¡± On the way, Chen Sheng attempted to ask, but received no answer. They arrived in front of Tiger Bro¡¯s private fitness area. Bang bang bang!! Strong Bro knocked on the door hurriedly. ¡°Tiger Bro! Tiger Bro!¡± ¡°Are you here?!¡± After about a few seconds. With a click, The room door opened in response. Li Chenghu was standing in the doorway in casual clothes, looking displeased. He was holding a meat bun in his hand that he hadn¡¯t finished eating. ¡°Don¡¯t you know this is my mealtime?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not something important, you might have to train with meter.¡± If he heard this in the past, Strong Bro would certainly have turned around and run away. But today, he wasn¡¯t scared at all. ¡°Tiger Bro, this kid, he¡¯s a genius!!!¡± Strong Bro directly pulled over a dumbfounded Chen Sheng and said excitedly. Chapter 14 14 Chapter 14: Genius and Qi Blood Loss Trantor: 549690339 ¡°What genius?¡± Li Chenghu looked at Strong Bro puzzledly. Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Sheng. Next second, Li Chenghu¡¯s previously unhappy expression quickly turned serious. ¡°What¡¯s going on with you?¡± ¡°Did you go to a brothelst night?¡± ??? Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng was covered in cold sweat. Is this a re-enactment with me? ¡°No Tiger Bro, I¡¡± Just as he was about to exin, Li Chenghu directly grabbed his wrist and took his pulse with a frown. After a few moments, he breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Good, it¡¯s just a severe depletion of energy, but it hasn¡¯t reached the point of exhaustion.¡± But his brow was still tightly knitted. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Why did your body be so weak after just one night?¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng could only repeat what he had just said to Strong Bro. As for this, Li Chenghu was half-believing and half-doubting and asked Chen Sheng to perform. He sat at the tea table and began to pour tea. As a result, when Chen Sheng started to practice the Three-body Stance again, Li Chenghu¡¯s hand, which was leisurely holding the teacup, paused. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Chen Sheng was stopped directly before he could stand for long. ¡°Your body is currently depleted of energy, don¡¯t practice the Three-body Stance recklessly.¡± Just now, Chen Sheng¡¯s posture was very standard. Even Li Chenghu himself couldn¡¯t find any faults. But this was only after one night! This was beyond the realm of genius. It was more like a monster. The shock in Li Chenghu¡¯s heart was no less than that of Strong Bro half an hour ago. It¡¯s just that he had enough self-control not to show it too obviously. ¡°Come, drink this cup of tea.¡± Li Chenghu poured a cup of tea from his own cup and handed it to Chen Sheng. The tea was jujube red, clear to the bottom. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hesitate and drank it all in one go. ¡°Tiger Bro, what kind of tea is this?¡± After finishing, Chen Sheng asked. ¡°Energy Enhancing Tea.¡± Li Chenghu¡¯s sudden statement made Chen Sheng¡¯s expression freeze. Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth was wide open, wanting to spit but not daring to. Seeing this, Li Chenghu smiled slightly. ¡°Next time before you drink something given by others, it¡¯s better to be careful.¡± ¡°Rest assured, this is Qi-nourishing Tea, which can slightly replenish the energy you¡¯ve lost.¡± ¡°After drinking it, at least you can ensure that your body can handle today¡¯s training.¡± Chen Sheng finally sighed in relief. At the same time, he felt that once the tea entered his stomach, his body felt warm and extremelyfortable. Then, Li Chenghu resumed his serious expression. ¡°Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Are you sure you want to practice martial arts?¡± As soon as the words fell, seeing Chen Sheng about to speak, Li Chenghu raised his hand to interrupt. ¡°Don¡¯t rush to answer.¡± ¡°I can tell you in advance that my willingness to take you as an apprentice is not just because of your talent, but also for other purposes.¡± ¡°Even in the near future, I may need you to do some extremely dangerous things for me.¡± ¡°Dangerous enough that if you¡¯re not careful, you¡¯ll lose your life.¡± ¡°I can clearly tell you that with your martial arts talent, you can shine wherever you learn martial arts.¡± ¡°So, I hope you think carefully.¡± If it had been a day earlier, Li Chenghu would not have said thest few sentences. But after witnessing Chen Sheng¡¯s talent, he had already developed a talent-saving heart. That¡¯s why he advised and warned, hoping that the other party would back off. ¡°Will it be illegal, Tiger Bro?¡± However, Chen Sheng¡¯s answer once again caught Li Chenghu off guard. He stared nkly for a few seconds before shaking his head slowly. ¡°No, it¡¯s not illegal.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s okay.¡± Chen Sheng grinned and bowed deeply to Tiger Bro. ¡°Thank you, Tiger Bro!¡± Apparently, This was Chen Sheng¡¯s answer. Li Chenghu nodded. ¡°Since you have already decided, I won¡¯t nag about it.¡± ¡°When you finish your training,e find me here.¡± After saying that, Li Chenghu walked to the side, ready to begin his own training. Chen Sheng and Strong Bro then walked towards the exit of the room. As they passed the mirror on the wall, Chen Sheng looked at himself in the mirror and noticed that hisplexion had improved since the morning. Just that one cup of Qi-nourishing Tea could have such a powerful effect. Chen Sheng nned to ask Li Chenghuter if he could share the method for making the Qi-nourishing tea. With the tea, he would be able to practice the Three-body Stance without restraint, and his physical fitness would improve rapidly. With that thought, Chen Sheng went directly to the Strength area. Coach Jack and Ah Wei were also in the training area, but they had a weird and mocking look when they saw Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t care about their behavior. He bent down, ready to grab a dumbbell to start training. But as soon as he picked up the dumbbell, Chen Sheng felt something was wrong. It was so light. He had picked up a 15kg dumbbell, but it felt effortlesspared to yesterday¡¯s weight. Chen Sheng immediately put the dumbbell down and picked up a 20kg one. Still light. He only felt the familiar heaviness again after picking up a 25kg dumbbell. ¡°Little Chen, are you serious?¡± Seeing Chen Sheng lifting the 25kg dumbbell to begin training, Strong Bro was startled and quickly came forward to stop him. Ah Wei and his friend exchanged nces, and involuntarily revealed a horrified expression. In their eyes, Chen Sheng should not be able to lift a 25kg dumbbell. That kid, is he going crazy trying to catch up to me? Ah Wei carefully nced at Chen Sheng, then pulled Coach Jack with him to leave. They didn¡¯t want to get hit if Chen Sheng identally dropped the dumbbell while lifting it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Strong Bro, I¡¯m fine.¡± Chen Sheng insisted on his own decision. Seeing that, Strong Bro had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him. However, he didn¡¯t leave but stood nearby, watching Chen Sheng with a worried look, ready to help him at the sight of difficulty.action However, as time went by, the scene of Chen Sheng bing overwhelmed that Strong Bro had anticipated did not happen. The familiar shocked expression appeared on his face again. Even though it was somewhat difficult for him, Chen Sheng actually managed toplete all 12 sets of training with a 25kg dumbbell. One shock after another made Strong Bro feel his nerves had be somewhat numb. Genius¡ anything is possible. Strong Broforted himself in his heart, gradually recovering from the shock. His quick recovery was because he had already witnessed Chen Sheng¡¯s demon-like abilities. But Ah Wei and Coach Jack were not as calm as Strong Bro. They stared dumbfounded at Chen Sheng,pletely petrified as if turned to stone. Wasn¡¯t Chen Sheng lifting a 15kg dumbbell yesterday? Why is it 25kg today?! What kind of monster is he?! Who taught you to work out like this?! Their inner turmoil was like a raging storm, feeling as if their understanding of the world had been refreshed. At this moment, Ah Wei hadpletely lost the idea ofpeting with Chen Sheng. What the hell?! At this rate, will he be flying around with 100kg dumbbells in a week? Ah Wei looked at the 20kg dumbbell in his hand. He had only trained a few sets yesterday, and today his muscles were so sore that he could only lift lighter weights than before. Chen Sheng, who had been lifting 10kg dumbbells just two days ago, was now lifting a 25kg dumbbell with fierce determination. The discrepancy between people, was especially apparent at this moment in the strength area. During the following training, Ah Wei clearly appeared disheartened. In the end, he didn¡¯t even finish his training, and left the gym with an excuse. Chen Sheng was not aware of the inner drama of those around him; he waspletely immersed in the pleasure of getting stronger. Two hourster. Chen Sheng sat on a chair afterpleting his training, massaging his muscles. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.11] [Agility: 1] [Constitution: 1.16] [Skill Points: 0.49] Today¡¯s training increased his Strength attribute by 0.03. With just a bit more Skill Points, he would be able to upgrade the Three-body Stance. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Tiger Bro¡¯s training is over.¡± At this moment, Strong Bro¡¯s voice reached him. Chen Sheng excitedly stood up from the chair. Finally, time to be an apprentice. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Chapter 15 15 Chapter 15: Visiting the Xingwu Gym Trantor: 549690339 Not far from the gym, there was an underground parking lot. Chen Sheng followed Li Chenghu, preparing to go to Xingwu Gym to meet thetter¡¯s father. The Grand Master of Xingwu Gym, Li Xingwu. Only with his consent could Chen Sheng officially join Xingwu Gym and be Li Chenghu¡¯s disciple. *Ding ding* Arriving at a part of the parking lot, Li Chenghu pressed the remote control. *Plop* Seeing Li Chenghu¡¯s car, Chen Sheng, who was drinking water, turned into a fountain. Li Chenghu¡¯s car turned out to be a police car. ¡°What are you staring at? Get in.¡± Seeing Chen Sheng standing there dumbfounded, Li Chenghu opened the car door and called out to him. ¡°Tiger Bro¡ should I sit in the front or the back?¡± Chen Sheng usually preferred to sit in the right rear seat when riding in a car. But looking at the metal bars in the police car¡ He felt that sitting there would be somewhat strange. ¡°If you want to experience what it¡¯s like to be a criminal suspect, I don¡¯t mind.¡± Li Chenghu smiled ambiguously while taking out a limited edition silver bracelet from the car. ¡°I can also provide you with the gear.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng awkwardly smiled and obediently sat in the passenger seat. ¡°I¡¯ll have the chance to experience it some other time.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Sheng suddenly felt that there was something odd about his words. Before he could think too much about it, Li Chenghu started the car and drove towards the exit of the parking lot. ¡°Tiger Bro, I thought your family runs a martial arts hall, so why do you have a police car?¡± On the road, Chen Sheng casually chatted with Li Chenghu. ¡°My family is my family, and I am me.¡± ¡°This disciple of mine is actually just a namesake; my talent in martial arts isn¡¯t much.¡± ¡°Although you will officially be my disciple in nameter on,¡± ¡°The ones who will really teach you are the people in the martial arts hall.¡± So, that¡¯s how it is¡ Chen Sheng nodded in realization. Immediately after, he raised another question. ¡°So, Tiger Bro, your actual job is¡?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Li Chenghu nodded. ¡°I am the captain of a team under the Quanjiang City Martial Security Bureau.¡± ¡°The Martial Security Bureau?¡± Chen Sheng inquired in confusion. He had heard of the police and the Cultural Bureau, But this so-called Martial Security Bureau was new to him. ¡°Its full name is the Martial Arts Safety Management Bureau, which mainly targets martial artists, Qi-sensors, and Heavenly People whomit crimes using martial arts. It has the authority to supervise all humans with extraordinary individual strength. The bureau was established just a year ago.¡± ¡°Because it was recently established, and due to the high mortality rate, we have always been short-staffed.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng immediately understood what Li Chenghu meant by asking for his help earlier. He suddenly fell silent. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to help, but rather whether he could be of any assistance with his current strength. Li Chenghu seemed to see what was on his mind and exined with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t ask for your help right now.¡± ¡°Facing those wanted criminals, the weak ones can be dealt with by ourselves, and if you were to face the strong ones, you¡¯d just be courting death.¡± ¡°Just honestly practice martial arts, and you¡¯ll have opportunities in the future.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded understandingly, looking firmly at Li Chenghu. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Tiger Bro. I¡¯ll be ready to help whenever you need me.¡± ¡°Just¡ can I run if I encounter danger?¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Li Chenghu burst intoughter. ¡°You¡¯d better be able to run.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen too many reckless people die at the hands of those criminals.¡± ¡°Only by surviving can you protect more people.¡± ¡°Many of my colleagues failed to understand this, and as a result, they lost their lives.¡± As he spoke, Li Chenghu seemed to recall something, and his expression turned somewhat mncholic. Chen Sheng, with his keen senses, noticed this and didn¡¯t say anything further. The police car continued towards its destination. Half an hourter. The Port District, Xingwu Gym. The location was about twenty kilometers from Chen Sheng¡¯s home. Chen Sheng looked out of the window. Gazing at the surroundings, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered. Wasn¡¯t the previous location of Xingwu Gym, the Youth Pce?! As a child, Chen Sheng had even learned Taekwondo here. After being beaten up by his parents for secretly kissing a little girl from the neighboring art ss, he refused toe back, sulking. After so many years, little did he expect it to have be a martial arts hall. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Chenghu had no idea about Chen Sheng¡¯s inner monologue. After parking, he led Chen Sheng towards the entrance.action Upon stepping through the gate, the ancient and elegant atmosphere came into view. Chen Sheng looked around in amazement, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. ¡°This way.¡± Following along a corridor, the two of them continued to advance deeper in. Faint sounds of hitting and grunting began to surround their ears. Chen Sheng looked to both sides. Behind each door were variously sized training grounds. The noises came from inside. ¡°These rooms are for students who want to learn martial arts and strengthen their bodies,¡± Li Chenghu exined. ¡°The real disciples of the Martial Arts Hall are here.¡± Saying that, the two came to a wooden door at the end of the corridor. Li Chenghua pushed the door open. Whoosh! A wave of heat came at them. Noisy sounds instantly filled Chen Sheng¡¯s ears. ¡°Hahahaha¡ª¡ª¡± A heartyughter was the most noticeable sound among them. This was a training ground of about 200 square meters, with dozens of people scattered throughout, each practicing martial arts moves. At the tea table in the farthest part of the room, an old man with a white beardughed cheerfully, talking to a young man in front of him, and asionally burst intoughter. ¡°Greetings, Uncle Li.¡± Li Chenghu walked by, and the disciples who had been practicing bowed one after another as they stopped their movements. He responded one by one. At the same time, many people cast puzzled nces at Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t feel the least bit embarrassed. Whoever looked at him, he would smile back at them. He seemed quite at ease. ¡°Rabbit bastard, you don¡¯t even know if you have a father after being away for half a year!¡± As soon as the white-bearded old man saw Li Chenghu, his initially cheerful face instantly became stern, and he scolded him with wide eyes. ¡°I¡¯m usually very busy, so I don¡¯t have time toe back every day.¡± Li Chenghu exined helplessly. The white-bearded old man in front of him was the Grand Master of Xingwu Gym, Li Xingwu. ¡°Well, well, let¡¯s forget about that for today, it¡¯s a good day, and I don¡¯t want to quarrel with you.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter today?¡± Li Xingwu waved his hand impatiently. Li Chenghu then made way to introduce Chen Sheng. ¡°Meet, Chen Sheng, a promising young talent I happened to discover. I want to take him as a disciple and let him learn martial arts in the Martial Arts Hall.¡± On hearing this, Li Xingwu looked at Chen Sheng, his eyes gleaming. Chen Sheng¡¯s body stiffened. When the other¡¯s gaze fell on him, he felt as if he was being stared at by a beast, and his whole body hair was about to explode. But looking from the outside, Li Xingwu was just an ordinary old man, with nothing unusual about him. Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but sigh¡ No wonder he is Tiger Bro¡¯s father. After sizing up Chen Sheng, Li Xingwu withdrew his gaze. He didn¡¯t find anything special about Chen Sheng. Neither his demeanor nor his physique was any different from that of an ordinary person. ¡°Little Chen is a Qi-sensor, and a rare martial arts talent. He-¡± Swish! Li Chenghu¡¯s words were cut off halfway by his father¡¯s action. Li Xingwu¡¯s arm shot out like lightning, instantly gripping Chen¡¯s wrist. A few secondster, Li Xingwu¡¯s eyebrows wrinkled. ¡°How long ago did your transformation start?¡± The sharp gaze on him put tremendous pressure on Chen Sheng. ¡°Little Chen has only awakened three or four days ago, I saw him beginning to transform.¡± Fortunately, Li Chenghu promptly spoke up to ease the tense situation. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng felt his wrist loosen. ¡°He started transforming three or four days ago, but his physical fitness is only slightly better than that of an ordinary person.¡± ¡°Is this the promising talent you speak of?¡± Li Xingwu sneered. ¡°Forget it, forget it, if you want to take him as a disciple, then do it.¡± Seeing Li Chenghu still wanting to say something, Li Xingwu waved his hand to interrupt him. Then, Li Xingwu pulled in the young man by his side. ¡°Come on, let me show you what a real promising talent looks like.¡± ¡°This is my new direct disciple, Wu Ran.¡± Speaking of Wu Ran, Li Xingwu¡¯s face once again regained its previous smiling appearance. ¡°Greetings, Senior Brother.¡± Wu Ran had a clean and refined appearance, his eyes and eyebrows were charming, and at first nce, he didn¡¯t look like a martial artist at all. Facing Li Chenghu, he raised his head slightly, and his face shed with an imperceptible pride. As for Chen Sheng, he waspletely ignored by Wu Ran. ¡°A direct disciple?¡± Li Chenghu was somewhat surprised. His father had already epted hisst disciple ten years ago and has never taken on any apprentices since then. Now, how had a direct disciple suddenly appeared? Li Chenghu then looked at Wu Ran. With just one look, he immediately noticed something unusual. Chapter 16 16 Chapter 16: Apprenticeship and the Genius Wu Ran Trantor: 549690339 On this Wu Ran. He actually has a distinct trace of Qi?! Ordinary Qi-sensors can¡¯t contain or hold onto Qi within their bodies. They can only passively ept the refining effect of Qi on their flesh, thus enhancing their physical fitness. Storing Qi in the body, and even manipting Qi, Those are things only a Heavenly Person can do. Could it be!! ¡°He¡¯s a Heavenly Person?!¡± Li Chenghu frowned, speaking in a deep voice. Heavenly People are terrifying entities that surpass humans, surpass Qi-sensors, and dominate over individual lives. Since joining the Wu¡¯an Bureau, although Li Chenghu has nevere into contact with a Heavenly Person, he has read several documents about them. After these Heavenly People awaken, their minds are often twisted by powerful forces. They even consider themselves gods, above all beings, not caring about the lives of ordinary people. Therefore, Li Chenghu instinctively dislikes Heavenly People. ¡°Not a Heavenly Person, but not an ordinary Qi-Sensor either.¡± Li Xingwu seemed to enjoy his son¡¯s shocked reaction, his eyes slightly narrowed, full ofughter. ¡°Wu Ran¡¯s body has an unprecedentedpatibility with Qi, to the point that it can spontaneously store Qi.¡± ¡°Though he can¡¯t actively control Qi, such highpatibility naturally enhances his physical fitness daily.¡± ¡°As for the one you brought along¡. What¡¯s his name, Chen something.¡± ¡°If you want to ept him as a disciple, go ahead, I will have people teach him what he should learn.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t expect me to give him any special treatment.¡± The implication was that he didn¡¯t think much of Chen Sheng. Li Xingwu chuckled while stroking his white beard, ready to continue enjoying his son¡¯s shocked expression. However, Things didn¡¯t go as he wished. After listening to his father¡¯s boasting, Li Chenghu simply nodded expressionlessly. He withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to Wu Ran. His purpose foring today was to bring Chen Sheng to acknowledge a master. As for how talented Wu Ran is, it doesn¡¯t really concern him. ¡°Since you agree, I¡¯ll formally ept Chen Sheng as a disciple.¡± ¡°Starting tomorrow, he wille to the Martial Arts Hall to learn.¡± With that said, Li Chenghu gave Chen Sheng a look and turned to leave the Hall. ¡°Goodbye, Master Li.¡± Chen Sheng politely bowed, then turned to follow Li Chenghu. If the other party didn¡¯t care about him, he didn¡¯t care either. After all, the person he was acknowledging as a master was Li Chenghu, not the Grand Master standing in front of him. He believed that Li Chenghu would not harm him. Their reactions left Li Xingwu feeling like he had punched cotton. Thump! His white beard bristling, his eyes ring, he pped the tea table and chastised Li Chenghu. ¡°Little rabbit, you¡¯d better note asking for my help next time.¡± ¡°ill-mannered, ignorant of etiquette, I really don¡¯t know who taught you!!¡± ¡°My dad taught me!¡± Li Chenghu stated loudly without looking back. This made Li Xingwu so angry that his face turned red and he almost fainted from holding his chest. ¡°Master, are you okay?¡± Wu Ran quickly came up and patted Li Xingwu¡¯s back. Watching his talented and considerate disciple, Li Xingwu felt slightly better. He stood up from the chair and called Wu Ran to follow.action ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t bother with that little brat.¡± ¡°Today I made nourishing soup, you can start practicing after drinking it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Upon hearing that, Wu Ran beamed and quickly helped Li Xingwu towards the back door of the practice martial field. He didn¡¯t care about the interruption by Chen Sheng and the others earlier. After two months of practicing martial arts, Wu Ran had already realized how terrifying his talent was. There are vast differences among Qi-sensors. In the Martial Arts Hall, the remaining disciples are basically Qi-sensors. Among them, except for a few direct disciples, No one was a match for Wu Ran. And he, has only been practicing martial arts for two months. In three months at the least, and half a year at the most, The people in this dojo will be left far behind by him. He and these people are destined not to be in the same world. Wu Ran was very clear about this. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- ¡°Little Chen, I¡¯m sorry.¡± As soon as they left the training ground, Li Chenghu looked at Chen Sheng with a slight apology. ¡°With your talent, you can shine regardless of who your master is.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go to the Xingwu Gym, I can help introduce you to other gyms.¡± Li Chenghu was well aware of his father¡¯s character. However, he originally thought that as long as Chen Sheng showed his talent in martial arts, he should be valued. Who knew that someone named Wu Ran would appear halfway through his six-month hiatus from his father, which led to Chen Sheng being overlooked. Even though he had already agreed with his father, If Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to acknowledge a master, Li Chenghu wouldn¡¯t want to force him. However, Chen Sheng seemed not to hear Li Chenghu¡¯s words. ¡°Tiger Bro, how is the master-disciple ceremony done?¡± He answered Li Chenghu in his own way. With the panel, whoever he makes his master only changes where he trains. Since Li Chenghu has helped him, he felt obliged to return the favor. Even though this might not be the most beneficial choice. But all Chen Sheng wanted was to be true to himself. Upon hearing this, Li Chenghu was initially taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Call me master.¡± ¡°Master!¡± ¡°Good, I ept you as my disciple.¡± The two looked at each other and smiled. Then they left the martial arts hall together. ¡°Get in the car, I¡¯ll drive you home.¡± Upon reaching the parking lot, Li Chenghu opened the car door and indicated for Chen Sheng to get in. But Chen Sheng remained still. ¡°Tiger Bro, you go ahead.¡± ¡°I want to run home, to get in some exercise.¡± Chen Sheng waved goodbye. He wasn¡¯t going to pass up on any opportunity to train. ¡°Wait.¡± Just as Chen Sheng was about to start running, Li Chenghu stopped him. He took a backpack from the car and tossed it to him. Chen Sheng reached out and caught it, and opened it for a look. Inside were some herbs that Chen Sheng didn¡¯t recognize. ¡°This is vitality soup, used to replenish your Qi and blood. It¡¯s more effective than eating a bunch of stuff every day.¡± ¡°Use two bowls of water and two bottles of yellow wine, simmer on low heat to make one bowl, this should be enough for you to brew six times.¡± ¡°Drink one bowl every day and you¡¯ll have enough Qi and blood to practice the Three-body Stance.¡± ¡°But!¡± At this point, Li Chenghu raised his voice, his expression bing serious. ¡°The Three-body Stance is not like ordinary exercises. It involves utilizing your entire body, converting Qi and blood to enhance your strength.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that because you have the vitality soup, you can go home and practice Three-body Stance nonstop.¡± ¡°A few hours of practice every day should be enough. The rest of the time can be used for other exercises, to give your body time to recover.¡± ¡°Otherwise, once your Qi and blood are depleted, mild cases would need half a month of rest, serious cases might cause organ damage, remember this!¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng felt a shiver in his heart. Only then did he realize that he almost made a huge mistake practicing as hard as he did yesterday. ¡°I understand now, Tiger Bro.¡± He immediately responded sincerely. Seeing this, Li Chenghu nodded and then got into the car. With the sound of the engine starting, the police car drove off into the distance. After he left, Chen Sheng attentively looked at the backpack in his hands, silently remembering this kind gesture in his heart. Afterward, He put on the backpack and started to warm up on the spot. Twenty kilometers was a new challenge for Chen Sheng. But he believed that with his current physical attributes, it should be no problem. With this in mind, Chen Sheng started his stride, running towards home. Two hourster. ¡°Huff¡± Chen Sheng stood at the roadside, his calves cramping. He was still about five kilometers away from home. In the past two hours, he ran about fifteen kilometers. His panel was brought up. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.12] [Agility: 1.01] [Constitution: 1.20] [Skill Points: 0.55] This run resulted in a 0.01 increase in both Strength and Agility. As for his Constitution, it increased by 0.04. His Skill Points also reached the points needed to upgrade the Three-body Stance. The gains were quite satisfactory. But not being able to run the whole distance, Chen Sheng felt a little regretful. It wasn¡¯t that he was out of energy, but the long, continuous run had left his calves feeling sore to the point of being unbearable. Regarding this, Chen Sheng attributed it to his muscles not being strong enough. But he believed that after tonight¡¯s exercise, the increase in his attributes would surely be enough for him to conquer the distance from his home to the martial arts hall. Thinking thus, Chen Sheng began to stretch out his legs on the spot. Only after the soreness had slightly subsided did he hail a moto-taxi to take him home. Chapter 17 17 Chapter 17 Neighbor and Upgrade Again Trantor: 549690339 Wutong Vige. ¡°Just stop here.¡± Chen Sheng lightly pats the moto-taxi driver¡¯s shoulder. The motorcycle stops at the entrance. These past two days, due to the construction teamying underground pipelines, the road has be bumpy and uneven. As a result, Chen Sheng decided to walk thest 200 meters of the road. Thus saving himself from listening to the moto-taxi driver¡¯sints. After paying, he walks down the road. Reaching the end. This is where Chen Sheng¡¯s home is located. Although it is at the end of the road, There is also a muddy path next to it. Walk about 50 meters along the path, and you¡¯ll pass a graveyard. That¡¯s right. The vegetable market of Wutong Vige is built not far from the graveyard. Just like the vegetable market, Wutong Primary School is also built close to the graveyard. At first, Chen Sheng found this quite bizarre. But over time, he got used to it. At the entrance of the muddy path, just next to Chen Sheng¡¯s home, there is an old wooden house. The wooden house used to be inhabited by the tomb keeper. However, since Chen Sheng returned, he has never seen anyone entering or leaving the wooden house, as if it has been abandoned. The tombstones in the graveyard, due tock of care, have be dirty and messy. However, today, When Chen Sheng arrives downstairs, he sees that the door of the wooden house is open. There are even sounds of rummaginging from within. A thief?! This is Chen Sheng¡¯s first reaction. This thief is really desperate,ing here to steal stuff. This is his second thought. Just as Chen Sheng hesitates, wondering if he should go and investigate, A person who is holding a wooden box walks out of the wooden house directly. This man is wearing a white shirt, has gold-framed sses on his face, and looks refined. It doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s a thief. As Chen Sheng sees him, he too sees Chen Sheng. Their eyes meet in mid-air. ¡°Hello.¡± After a brief silence, the bespectacled man shows a friendly smile and nods at Chen Sheng. ¡°Do you live here?¡± He points to Chen Sheng¡¯s home. ¡°This is my home.¡± Chen Sheng nods, rxing his previously tense body slightly. The other party does not look like a thief. His appearance here may have other reasons. Hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s reply, the bespectacled man¡¯s eyes light up, he quickly puts down the wooden box in his hand, and walks toward Chen Sheng. ¡°Nice to meet you, my name is Xu Ziwen.¡± ¡°I am a new teacher at Wutong Primary School, and I just moved in today.¡± ¡°We are neighbors from now on, please take care of me.¡± Xu Ziwen seems to want to shake hands with Chen Sheng. But as soon as he stretches out his hand, he notices the dust on it and immediately bes a little embarrassed. ¡°Hello, my name is Chen Sheng.¡± Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t mind, shaking his hand with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just, why do you live here? I remember this ce¡¡± He wants to say that this is the tomb keeper¡¯s house, but he hesitates, afraid of frightening the other party. Hearing this,action Xu Ziwen touches his nose. ¡°Actually, the tomb keeper used to be my grandfather.¡± ¡°When I was a child, I also lived in Wutong Vige, but then I moved away.¡± ¡°Now that my workce is nearby, I might as well clean up this ce.¡± However, Xu Ziwen seems to see what Chen Sheng is thinking. ¡°Of course, this is just part of the reason.¡± ¡°The main reason is that living here doesn¡¯t require paying rent, and I don¡¯t have to share a room with others.¡± ¡°Also, I see that those lonely tombs are neglected all year round, it¡¯s quite pathetic. It gives me something to do in my spare time.¡± Toward the end, Xu Ziwen scratches his head sheepishly. An interesting person. This is Chen Sheng¡¯s first impression of him. Later, Chen Sheng asks Xu Ziwen if he needs help. After being tactfully declined, he doesn¡¯t say much and bids farewell to the other party directly. Chen Sheng returns home. Chen Sheng immediately took out the pot and put a bag of herbs in it. Tonight, he ns to upgrade the Three-body Stance to improve the effects of his training. Before that, he decided to try the effects of the Vitality Soup in case he bes qi-deficientter on. ¡°I don¡¯t know what realm that guy called Wu Ran is in, but he looks quite amazing.¡± While waiting for the water in the pot to boil, Chen Sheng suddenly thought of something. Starting tomorrow, he would go to the Martial Arts Hall to practice, but he was still unclear about the Martial Arts Realms. He had only seen a rough outline in the news before. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng immediately picked up his phone and started searching. As of now, the Martial Arts Association¡¯stest realm ssification was still a hot topic online. Chen Sheng only typed in the four words of Martial Arts Association, and the result he wanted came up automatically. ¡°The untrained are divided by tiers.¡± ¡°Those who pass the initial test are at Tier 10, after which they can be promoted by defeating those of the same tier, up to the highest of Tier 1.¡± ¡°Above that, they are divided by realm in ascending order: Hidden Element Realm, Clear Understanding Realm, Yao Light Realm, Kaiyang Realm, and Saint Realm.¡± So this is how the martial arts realms are divided? Unfortunately, only the most basic realm divisions were posted online. How to distinguish between realms, What Tier 1s must do to enter a realm, This information was not avable online. Chen Sheng did not dare to ask Li Chenghu about this trivial matter through WeChat. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t the kind of person to be overly-focused on the details. He knew he would find out eventually, so he didn¡¯t stress over it for the time being. After putting his mobile phone back in his pocket, the water in the pot was just boiling. Chen Sheng turned the induction cooker to low heat and set the timer for two and a half hours. ¡°This way, it shouldn¡¯t boil dry.¡± For the time being, he decided to take a nap. After setting his phone rm, Chen Shengid down on the bed. In a short time, he fell into a deep sleep. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Ring ring ring~ Apanied by the phone ringing, Chen Sheng opened his eyes. He quickly jumped out of bed and hurried to the kitchen to check on the progress of the herbal concoction. There was about one-third of the water left in the pot, and it would take about half an hour longer to boil it down to a bowl¡¯s worth. Chen Sheng looked at the time. It was almost dinner time. He began preparing the ingredients in the kitchen right away. Half an hourter, As the Vitality Soup finished simmering, Chen Sheng also finished preparing the ingredients. He poured out the soup and set it aside to cool down before drinking. Another half hour passed. Chen Sheng had finished preparing dinner and picked up the Vitality Soup, pinched his nose, and poured it directly down his throat. With a few gulps, The entire bowl of soup was all gone. As long as I drink it fast enough, the bitterness of the medicine won¡¯t catch up with me! That¡¯s what they say, But when Chen Sheng put down the bowl, he still couldn¡¯t help but grimace at the bitterness. ¡°Better eat my dinner quickly to suppress the bitterness.¡± After all, it would take some time for the medicine to take effect after being ingested. Chen Sheng used this time to finish his dinner. After dinner, As Chen Sheng was about to clean up the leftovers, his body suddenly stiffened. ¡°Hoo¡ª¡ª¡± His face turned red, and he took a deep breath. The warm air instantly turned into white mist in the air. Feeling the increasing heat in his body, Chen Sheng hurried to the bathroom. ¡°Holy shit!¡± Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but shout in surprise. In the mirror, he looked like a cooked shrimp, his entire body flushed red. Just then, the Vitality Soup he had drunk turned into a heat flow circting in his body, making Chen Sheng feel an urgent need to vent his energy. Unable to bear it any longer, he quickly went to the balcony and summoned his skill panel. [Three-body Stance Lv1: 3/500] [Skill Points: 0.55] He concentrated and pressed the plus symbol behind the skill. Upgrade! The next second, The words representing the Three-body Stance changed quickly. [Three-body Stance Lv2: 3/5000] Chapter 18 18 Chapter 18: Upgrade and Weight Bearing Training Trantor: 549690339 In an instant. A strange muscle memory began to form inside Chen Sheng¡¯sbody. He stood in ce, carefully digesting the changes brought about by the upgrade. Opening his eyes again, his eyes immediately shed with delight. Afterwards, Chen Sheng¡¯s body immediately started to move, practicing the Three-body Stance. Before the skill was even upgraded, Chen Sheng needed to constantly focus on controlling every muscle and breathing rhythm when standing the Three-body Stance. But now, these movement points, force changes, and breathing rhythm have been integrated into his muscles. No need to deliberately adjust, his body would instinctively operate in the best way. Underneath the bright night sky, Chen Sheng stood on the balcony, closing his eyes again. His movements, although not much different from before, changed his whole temperament in an instant, bing more mysterious. Chen Sheng waspletely immersed in the Three-body Stance. One hour. Two hours. Three hours. As he forgot about everything in the cultivation process, time quickly passed by. At this time, next door to Chen Sheng¡¯s, Xu Ziwen took his cleaning tools and walked out of the house. He looked up at Chen Sheng¡¯s house. He immediately noticed Chen Sheng, who was closing his eyes while doing the Three-body Stance. Silver moonlight fell on Chen Sheng. The gentle breeze brushed against his clothes. He looked like a martial arts master. Xu Ziwen couldn¡¯t help but stop his movements, staring at Chen Sheng, seeming afraid that his footsteps would disturb the other person. Just then, Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes. The next second, it was as if he sensed something. Whoosh! Chen Sheng quickly turned his head to look at Xu Ziwen downstairs. Under the reflection of the moonlight, a hint of silver light burst in his eyes. ng! Xu Ziwen was startled by this sudden gaze, dropping the dustpan in his hand. The metallic impact sound instantly broke the silence of the night. It also shattered Chen Sheng¡¯s master image instantly. ¡°Holy shit!¡± The piercing noise in his ears made him scream, goosebumps exploding on his skin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry!¡± Seeing this, Xu Ziwen hurriedly put his hands together and apologized to Chen Sheng from a distance. ¡°I was just watching Brother Chen practicing martial arts and got lost in it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for disturbing you.¡± Chen Sheng also came back to his senses and waved his hand repeatedly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°Teacher Xu, where are you going sote?¡± He had a good first impression of Xu Ziwen, and since he sincerely apologized, Chen Sheng naturally wouldn¡¯t mind. ¡°I have nothing to do at night, so I thought I¡¯d go clean the graveyard.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng looked at Xu Ziwen with a somewhat strange gaze. Cleaning the graveyardte at night. Should he say Xu Ziwen is incredibly brave, or just in crazy? ¡°Well, Teacher Xu, you can get back to what you were doing, I won¡¯t bother you.¡± Chen Sheng was eager to check his cultivation results. After waving goodbye to Xu Ziwen, he walked straight into his house. Xu Ziwen originally wanted to say something else. Seeing that Chen Sheng didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of engaging in deeper conversation, he could only relent. However, Xu Ziwen¡¯s mind asionally conjured up the image of Chen Sheng practicing just now. If someone were to say that Chen Sheng was a hidden martial arts master, Xu Ziwen would believe it without a doubt. His neighbor seems to be quite extraordinary. He¡¯ll find an opportunity to visit him someday. With that thought in mind, Xu Ziwen picked up his dustpan again and walked down the path towards the graveyard. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- As soon as Chen Sheng returned to the living room, he immediately slumped down on the sofa. He had just pulled himself out of the trance-like state and didn¡¯t feel tired at all. But now that he¡¯s rxed, he felt like he could almost hear the sounds of his muscles crying out from various parts of his body, as if they were about to copse. After resting for a while, Chen Sheng summoned the panel to see the sess of his practice this time. ¡°Ha!¡± At this look. Chen Sheng almost jumped up from the sofa with joy. If it weren¡¯t for his weak body. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.22] [Agility: 1.10] [Constitution: 1.3] [Skill Points: 0.34] Strength and Constitution both increased by 0.1. The Agility attribute also increased by 0.09. Since Chen Sheng had the panel, this was his biggest improvement. And this, It¡¯s just the result of practicing the Three-body Stance once. Chen Sheng looked at the time. It was eight o¡¯clock in the evening. His usual bedtime was around ten o¡¯clock at night. After his body recovered, he would do some basic strength training, take a bath, and then it would be time. Chen Shengy on the sofa, waiting for his strength to recover. At the same time, he was thinking about his next training n. Having the Three-body Stance, he didn¡¯t intend to give up on his daily strength training and physical training. Although the Three-body Stance had a strong effect, it consumed a lot of blood and energy, so Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t practice it all day long without stopping. Butpared with the Three-body Stance, the improvement efficiency of these trainings was somewhat low. Strength training was fine. As long as Chen Sheng continued to increase the weight and sets, the effect would barely keep up. As for physical training. Now it took Chen Sheng a lot of effort to run ten to twenty kilometers, which was simr to practicing the Three-body Stance for two hours, and it could only improve his Constitution attribute. ¡°Why not¡Weighted training?¡± Chen Sheng suddenly thought. Since running was time-consuming, why couldn¡¯t he increase weight to run? By increasing the weight, not only would the energy consumption increase, but it could also train the muscles in the process. Chen Sheng immediately opened an online shopping mall and chose weighted gear. Soon, he selected a weighted vest as well as leg weights and a waistband and ced an order directly. This weighted vest was adjustable. By adding or reducing weight blocks, it could reach a maximum weight of 100kg. With the leg weights and waistband, it should be enough for him to use in a short time. The shipping speed of the mall was very fast. Just a few minutes after Chen Sheng ced the order, the logistics information showed that it was already being shipped. It was expected to be delivered tomorrow morning. Putting down the phone. Chen Sheng, who felt a little recovered, came to the balcony again. With his body greatly improved, he decided not to make a training n but to do as much as he could to maximize his physical improvement. One and a half hourster. Chen Sheng was sitting on the balcony floor, enjoying the cool breeze and waiting for his tense body to rx. Push-ups, two hundred. Sit-ups, one hundred and seventy. Squats, three hundred. Strength attribute increased by 0.05. Constitution and Agility increased by 0.01 each. With the intensity of Chen Sheng¡¯s training increasing, Each training session no longer only improved a single attribute, but also increased other attributes at the same time. After a short rest for a few minutes. Chen Sheng got up from the ground. Leaning against the edge of the balcony, he looked downstairs. Xu Ziwen¡¯s room was still pitch ck. He didn¡¯t know if she was asleep or not at home. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t pay much attention to it, just nced at it and went straight back into the house. Coming to the bathroom. Chen Sheng looked at himself in the mirror, and a smile of joy appeared on his face. His body now was no longer the skinny frame it had been just a few days ago. Under the skin, the outline of his muscles was faintly visible. Although he couldn¡¯tpare to those muscr men yet, he was already considered good among ordinary people. Hisplexion was no longer as pale as it was in the morning, but had returned to a normal human color. All of this was due to the Vitality Soup. Everything was constantly moving in a better direction. After taking a bath and drying his hair, Chen Sheng returned to his room. Lying on the bed, his body rxed. Before long,action He fell into a deep sleep. Chapter 19 19 Chapter 19: Shi Jian¡¯s First Arrival at the Martial Arts Hall Trantor: 549690339 The next day, early morning. Apanied by the noise from the outside world. Now, with his senses incredibly sharp, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but open his eyes with some helplessness. He sighed deeply. He didn¡¯t immediately get up. Instead, he grabbed his phone and searched for earplugs on the online shopping mall. Only after cing the order did Chen Sheng reluctantly climb out of bed. He yawned and walked towards the bathroom. After washing up, Chen Sheng started to make breakfast. ording to the schedule sent by Li Chenghu, the Martial Arts Hall is open from eight o¡¯clock in the morning until six o¡¯clock in the afternoon. There was a restaurant and dormitory inside the Martial Arts Hall, and many students who were devoted to martial arts chose to live there. But not Chen Sheng. Right now, the tide of Qi had not yet stopped rising. He had a premonition. In the days toe, the world might undergo great changes. And with the constant improvement of his attributes, his progress would only be faster and faster. At that time, Even with the title of a Qi-sensor, it might not be enough to cover up. Being the first to be targeted. Before his strength was enough, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to be too high profile. Going home every day, he could confidently increase his training intensity without worrying about drawing attention. Going to the Martial Arts Hall in the morning. Going to the gym in the afternoon. Training at home in the evening. This was the n Chen Sheng arranged for himself. After breakfast. Chen Sheng changed into light clothes and went out directly. ¡°Twenty kilometers, I must finish today!¡± Chen Sheng warmed up in ce, while cheering himself up. Then, He took the first step and began to move forward. Two and a half hourster. Gasp for air, Chen Sheng finally arrived at the Martial Arts Hall. He sessfullypleted the full course, and his Constitution attribute raised by 0.06. The other two attributes increased by 0.01 each. ¡°20 kilometers, just average.¡± Chen Sheng huffed like a cow, but still stubbornly insisted. After resting for a brief moment, He entered the hall. Following the corridor all the way deep down. It was nine o¡¯clock in the morning. There were already many people exercising on both sides of the corridor. As for the deepest end of the training ground, Chen Sheng could hear various noises from behind the door before even getting close. Chen Sheng pushed the door open. Sure enough. On the field, more than a dozen people were scattered in various corners, training individually in groups of two or three. Chen Sheng looked around. He didn¡¯t see Li Xingwu and his genius disciple Wu Ran. So, who should he look for? Just as Chen Sheng was feeling confused, a rough voice sounded in his ear. ¡°You are Uncle Li¡¯s disciple, right?¡± ¡°Your name is Chen Sheng, right?¡± Chen Sheng looked to his side. A broad chest appeared in front of him. A shadow loomed over him from above. ??? With a somewhat surprised gaze, Chen Sheng slowly raised his head. Only then did he see the man¡¯s face clearly. This man was extremely tall with a body filled with solid muscle blocks, and had a somewhat honest and mature face, about thirty years old. ¡°I am Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Chen Sheng asked in doubt. ¡°The Grand Master told me to guide you in martial arts.¡± ¡°My name is Shi Jian, I am neen years old this year. Brother Chen, you can call me Little Shi or Stone.¡± A palm the size of a pu fan stretched out in front of Chen Sheng. Neen years old?! Chen Sheng was about to shake hands with him. Upon hearing this, his eyes widened in an instant.He looked at Shi Jian¡¯s height. Then he looked at the muscles on the opponent¡¯s body. You call this neen years old?! Seeing Chen Sheng¡¯s strange expression, Shi Jian immediately understood what he was thinking. Every time he revealed his age, the reactions of others were the same. Over time, he became used to it. ¡°Haha, I look more mature, this is also something I can¡¯t help.¡± ¡°Little Brother Chen, shall we start now?¡± Shi Jianughed and proceeded to avoid the topic and talk about business. Only then did Chen Sheng realize that his previous behavior was somewhat presumptuous and quickly regained a serious face. ¡°Up to you.¡± The two headed towards the corner of the martial arts field together. ¡°Little Shi, is the Grand Master not here?¡± While walking, Chen Sheng asked the question that was bugging him. ¡°The Grand Master is in the Inner Courtyard teaching his Direct Disciples.¡± Shi Jian pointed towards a direction. Following his finger, Chen Sheng noticed a wooden door in the corner of the training ground that didn¡¯t fit the modern-style walls around it. ¡°In our Xingwu Gym, disciples are divided into three levels.¡± ¡°They are Disciples on Record, Official Disciples, and Direct Disciples.¡± ¡°Those whoe to learn on their own initiative are Disciples on Record.¡± ¡°Disciples on Record with good talent can be Official Disciples.¡± ¡°As for the Direct Disciples¡¡± Shi Jian suddenly fell silent. Not until Chen Sheng cast a puzzled look at him did he finally sh a smile. ¡°Little Brother Chen, don¡¯t misunderstand, I¡¯m not trying to keep you in suspense.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that those few Direct Disciples, they don¡¯t belong to the same world as us.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s their Qi-sensor or their martial arts talent, both far exceed ours.¡± ¡°Their cultivation in a few months is enough to make up for our years, or even more than a decade.¡± ¡°Plus the Grand Master¡¯s favoritism towards them, providing the best guidance and resources.¡± ¡°So¡¡± As he said this, Shi Jian¡¯s face turned somewhat gloomy. Chen Sheng immediately understood the situation. It seems that the young and mature Shi Jian had been severely hit by those Direct Disciples¡ ¡°So Wu Ran is also one of the Direct Disciples, huh?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Shi Jian nodded. ¡°Not only is he a Direct Disciple, but he is also the one with the strongest talent.¡± ¡°Two months ago, when he came to apprenticed, he had never even touched martial arts.¡± ¡°But now, none of us Official Disciples are his match.¡± Hearing this, An imperceptible look of amazement shed in Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. No wonder yesterday, that Wu Ran had a look of utmost arrogance. ¡°But don¡¯t worry, Little Brother Chen, although we are not geniuses, at least we are Qi-sensors, far superior to ordinary people.¡± ¡°We have a bright future ahead.¡± Thinking, Shi Jian mistakenly thought Chen Sheng was disheartened. He quickly patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder tofort him. Although it was a misunderstanding, But Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to disappoint Shi Jian¡¯s kindness and could only go with the flow, giving him a smile. As they talked, The two arrived at a corner of the Practice Martial Field. ¡°Little Brother Chen, have you ever practiced martial arts before?¡± Shi Jian turned around and faced Chen Sheng. ¡°Not at all, a few days ago Tiger Bro, who is now my Master, taught me the Three-body Stance.¡± Hearing that, Shi Jian pondered for a brief moment. ¡°Since you have no foundation, we¡¯ll have to start from scratch.¡± ¡°First, perform the Three-Body Technique, and I¡¯ll guide you.¡± With hands on his hips, Shi Jian looked extremely serious. Among the Official Disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, he was the youngest with strength that could barely be considered average. Now that he had the rare opportunity to guide others, he was particrly serious about it. Seeing this, Chen Sheng had no choice but to begin practicing the Three-body Stance diligently as instructed. However, he reserved some caution and didn¡¯t practice ording to his current Three-body Stance level. Instead, he followed how he practiced at Level 1. Three minutester. For some unknown reason, Shi Jian still didn¡¯t make any moves. Chen Sheng nced at him, Only to see him standing still, His facial expression had frozen. Chapter 20 20 Chapter 20: Realms and the Five Elements of Xingyi Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Brother Chen, when did you¡ learn the Three-Body Stance?¡± *Gurgle* Shi Jian gulped down his saliva. Unconsciously, His address to Chen Sheng subtly changed. ¡°The night beforest.¡± After getting Chen Sheng¡¯s confirmation once again, Shi Jian¡¯s expression suddenly became as if he had seen a ghost. How could he guide this anymore! Even his own stance isn¡¯t as standard as this. From Chen Sheng¡¯s Three-Body Stance, Shi Jian could not find the slightest w. It was entirely textbook-level. If Chen Sheng were not a disciple of Li Chenghu, He would even have reason to suspect if Chen Sheng hade to steal their techniques from other sects. After all, the Three-Body Posture is a must-learn for many sects. ¡°Little Shi.¡± ¡°Little Shi?¡± Under Chen Sheng¡¯s repeated calls, Shi Jian finally came back to his senses. *Cough, cough*- He feigned a cough to cover up his embarrassment. ¡°Brother Chen, there¡¯s no problem with your stance practice.¡± ¡°I think you can start practicing the boxing techniques directly.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up, and he instantly felt energized. He immediately focused his attention, ready to observe Shi Jian¡¯s movements. ¡°Watch closely.¡± ¡°The Three-Body Stance is the foundation¡¯s foundation in Xingyi Fist, and all boxing techniques are derived from it.¡± As he spoke, Shi Jian took on the Three-Body Technique posture, In an instant, The original honest aura on him suddenly disappeared, And what appeared was a calm momentum. ¡°The basic boxing techniques are divided into Five Elements Fist and Twelve Forms Boxing.¡± ¡°Today we¡¯ll start with the Five Elements Fist.¡± While talking, Shi Jian¡¯s movement was not slow at all, as if he were a sheathed treasure sword. The sword hadn¡¯t been unsheathed yet, but the momentum was already there. ¡°The Five Elements Fist, Chop, Crash, Drill, Cannon, and Horizontal, represent the five elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.¡± ¡°It can strengthen the five internal organs, strengthen the muscles and bones, and nourish the spirit.¡± ¡°Splitting Fist, use the body as an axe, and the fist will topple the opponent!¡± As soon as the words fell, Shi Jian¡¯s eyes widened, and he took a deep breath. His breathing was like a swimming dragon, and his heart and lungs were in harmony. He lifted his foot and took a step, his arms held like an axe, And suddenly he chopped down! p! The air exploded with a bang. ¡°Bashing Fist, prate and explode, half a step to dominate the world!¡± ¡°Drilling Punch, seize the opportunity, as fast as lightning!¡± ¡°Cannon Fist, fierce and violent,bining attack and defense!¡± ¡°Cross Punch, the force is round and smooth, breaking the straight with a horizontal attack!¡± Five Elements Fist was sessively demonstrated. As Shi Jian¡¯s arms swung, Chen Sheng could faintly hear the sound of the air being torn apart, Expressing the force, causing a series of explosions in the air. Whoosh- Shi Jian finished the five punches, stood up to close the practice, and took a long breath. A visibly white mist came out of his mouth and shot out about two meters before slowly dispersing. This scene made Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes full of surprises. This was exactly like the martial arts he had once imagined. It was great to be able toe to the Martial Arts Hall! At this moment, Chen Sheng felt extremely fortunate to be able to enter the world of martial arts. ¡°Brother Chen, the Five Elements Fist is both a fighting method and a training method.¡± ¡°As a training method, it goes hand in hand with the Three-Body Stance to strengthen the five internal organs and the muscles and bones.¡± ¡°As a fighting method, it can defeat enemies.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll first help you practice the movements thoroughly, and when you bepletely familiar with them, you can try to practice them fast.¡± In the next three hours, Shi Jian helped Chen Sheng familiarize himself with the movements of the Five Elements Fist. And during the practice, Chen Sheng was surprised to find that, His Level 2 Three-Body Stance could actually bebined with the Five Elements Fist. With the Level 1 Three-Body Stance, he had to constantly focus on the essentials and maintain the proper posture and breathing rhythm while practicing to see results. But with the Level 2 Three-Body Stance, Chen Sheng had already mastered all the essentials like the back of his hand. Even while practicing the Five Elements Fist, Chen Sheng was able to continuously adjust his body, making the twoplement each other. The training effect was much stronger than just standing in stance alone! Three hours of learning and training. Chen Sheng¡¯s three physical attributes all increased by 0.02. It seemed a little less. But this was because Chen Sheng was not proficient enough in the Five Elements Fist, resulting in the inability to continuously train efficiently. He believed, that once he upgraded his Five Elements Fist with his skill points, his training effect would drastically improve! Just thinking about the evening training, he couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. ¡°What are you so happy about, Brother Chen?¡± At this moment, Shi Jian, who was standing by Chen Sheng¡¯s side, couldn¡¯t help but ask when he saw Chen Sheng¡¯s silly smile. After three hours of interaction, the two became much more familiar with each other. Although Shi Jian looked mature, he was actually a straightforward teenager. Chen Sheng was attracted to this character. Therefore, the two no longer spoke as politely as before. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just thought of something happy.¡± Chen Sheng quickly came back to his senses. Seeing that Shi Jian seemed to want to ask more, he quickly changed the subject. ¡°Shi, let me ask you, do you know how the martial arts realm is divided? I saw it online, like the first stage, second stage, are there any distinguishing standards?¡± ¡°Of course there are.¡± Oh? Chen Sheng was originally just trying to change the subject, but seeing that there was a real answer, he immediately became interested. ¡°Tell me more.¡± Shi Jian exined in detail. ¡°Before entering the realm, there are ten stages, and the ten stages are divided into three levels.¡± ¡°From the tenth stage to the eighth stage, you train Light Energy, mainly to exercise physical strength, so that the whole body¡¯s power bes unified.¡± ¡°When punching, if you can make an explosive sound, that¡¯s Light Energy.¡±action At this point, Shi Jian showed a proud expression. ¡°I may be humble, but I am an Eighth Stage Martial Artist.¡± ¡°Just a step away, I can step into the next level, An Jin (Hidden Strength).¡± ¡°Train internal breathing while also training muscles, bones, and skin. Make the whole body¡¯s muscles and bones link together, generating An Jin, increasing the lethality of every punch and kick.¡± ¡°An Jin corresponds to Seventh to Fifth Stage.¡± ¡°After that, you train your internal organs, unite the inside and outside of your body, make Hidden Strength present throughout the body, and reach the point where you can¡¯t add even a single feather, that¡¯s called Transforming Power.¡± ¡°Transforming Power corresponds to the Fourth to First Stage.¡± At this point, Shi Jian stopped talking. Chen Sheng waited for a long time, but it seemed like Shi Jian had no intention of continuing, so he quickly asked further. ¡°And after that?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing after that.¡± Shi Jian said matter-of-factly. ¡°Big brother, I am only at the Eighth Stage, how can you expect me to understand entering the realm?¡± He looked at Chen Sheng with a why-are-you-even-thinking-about-that expression. But soon, he changed his tune. ¡°However, that being said.¡± ¡°Nowadays, with the world changing, simple strength can no longerpletely represent one¡¯s stage.¡± ¡°Therefore, you need to look at physical strength.¡± As he said this, Shi Jian pointed towards the wooden door at the deep end of the practice martial field. ¡°Those direct disciples, each and every one of them are monsters with terrifying physical qualities.¡± ¡°Take Wu Ran, for example. He has been practicing martial arts for two months and is now at the Light Energy level.¡± ¡°But in the martial arts hall, there¡¯s no one among the Hidden Strength stage who can match him.¡± ¡°Even someone saw him sparring with Brother Guo of the Transforming Power stage, and he didn¡¯t lose at all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why we¡¯re practicing martial arts, just to better develop our bodies.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng thoughtfully nodded. How apt this was. As long as he persisted in training, his physical qualities would not lose to anyone else¡¯s. Even the ¡°Heavenly Person¡± that Li Chenghu dreaded so much. Bang. Just then, the unexpected sound interrupted Chen Sheng¡¯s thoughts. The surrounding martial arts disciples also stopped their actions one after another. Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the sound. He found that the closed gate had opened. Li Xingwu walked out slowly with his hands behind his back. There were three people behind him. Chapter 21 21 Chapter 21: Sparring and Direct Disciples Trantor: 549690339 Following Li Xingwu, besides Wu Ran, there¡¯s another man and woman. The woman has a ponytail and a very pretty face, even when wearing workout clothes, one can roughly discern her streamlined figure. However, there¡¯s always an unapproachable aura around her, destroying some of her beauty. Even so, As soon as the woman steps out, she attracts the gazes of most men in the Practice Martial Field. The other man looks the oldest among the three. Compared to Wu Ran¡¯s arrogance and the woman¡¯s coldness, His expression looks much gentler, asionally nodding and smiling at the people practicing around him. At this moment, Shi Jian, the professional narrator, conscientiously began to fulfill his duties by introducing the two to Chen Sheng. ¡°That woman is called Li Qian, she¡¯s the Grand Master¡¯s granddaughter, and also your master¡¯s niece.¡± ¡°She was epted into the Martial Arts Hall half a year ago, I heard it¡¯s because there was an incident in her family, and she¡¯s the only one left.¡± ¡°Her character is quite terrible, every time she spars, she¡¯s always the one who doesn¡¯t adjust her strength ordingly and often hurts the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall.¡± ¡°But her talent is good, and due to her rtionship as a rtive, the Grand Master would at most scold her a bit, she pretty much gets away with it.¡± ¡°You better not provoke her, it¡¯s best not even to be social with her.¡± At this point, Shi Jian seemed to recall some painful memories, and his eyebrows twitched in difort. ¡°As for the other man, his name is Guo Yang.¡± ¡°He¡¯s the Grand Master¡¯s closest disciple, and he has been studying Xingyi Fist for more than ten years. In the entire Martial Arts Hall, other than the Grand Master, he has the strongest strength.¡± ¡°Brother Guo has the most gentle temper among the three direct disciples. He always guides us, unlike the other two who are quite snobbish.¡± ¡°If you get to spar with Brother Guo, consider yourself lucky.¡± Having heard these introductions, Chen Sheng now had a basic understanding of the other two people. ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°The sparring you just mentioned is¡¡± He noticed a word in Shi Jian¡¯s speech he had never heard before. But Shi Jian didn¡¯t answer, instead, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled, showing his teeth. ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon.¡± At the same time. Li Xingwu came to the tea table in the Practice Martial Field, carrying his hands, and sat down slowly. He lightly ps his hands together. p! The crisp p echoed throughout the entire practice field. As soon as the sound rang out, everyone moved towards the tea table. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Shi Jian went together with Chen Sheng. Before long, Everyone gathered around the tea table, Li Xingwu leisurely sipped his tea. Chen Sheng looked around. He noticed that most of the martial art hall disciples had mournful expressions, and some even closed their eyes and murmured slightly, as if praying. Soon enough, Li Xingwu puts down his teacup. Bang! He snorted coldly and pped the tea table heavily. ¡°Look at how defeated you all are.¡± ¡°Without realbat, do you all want to be masters through self-study?!¡± ¡°For a martial artist, other than talent, the most important thing is courage.¡± ¡°Without courage, how can you kill the enemy in battle?!¡± Li Xingwu¡¯s voice roared like thunder. His sharp gaze swept over the mournful-looking people. They hurriedly puffed out their chests, pretending to be fearless. Seeing this, Li Xingwu began to speak again. ¡°Zhang San, Zhao Si, Wang Wu¡ you all follow Li Qian.¡± He consecutively calls out several names. The faces of the named people turned bitter when they heard the final words. Chen Sheng clearly heard Shi Jian next to him heave a heavy sigh of relief. ¡°Shi Jian, Wang Qiang, Liang Yi¡ you all follow Wu Ran.¡± The expressions on their faces were neutral. ¡°Too bad, we didn¡¯t draw a good lot.¡± Shi Jianmented on the side. ¡°The rest of you, follow Guo Yang.¡± ¡°And you, your name is Chen Sheng, right?¡± After finishing thest sentence, without waiting for the other people to rejoice, Li Xingwu¡¯s gaze suddenly pierced through the crowd andnded on Chen Sheng. ¡°Since you haven¡¯t practiced martial arts before, watch and learn carefully today.¡± ¡°In a while, you will also join in sparring.¡± ¡°If you perform poorly at that time, don¡¯t expect my stupid son to back you up.¡± ¡°Our Xingwu Gym doesn¡¯t raise idlers!¡± As his words fell, The eyes of most people around fell on Chen Sheng. Including the direct disciples Guo Yang and Li Qian. As for this disciple of the Martial Hall Master¡¯s son, they had just heard about him, But they were just curious about what kind of person could make Li Chenghu personally bring him to the Martial Arts Hall. After all, Li Chenghu is just a nominal disciple in the Martial Arts Hall. People respected him only for his status as the son of the Martial Hall Master and the Captain of the Wu¡¯an Bureau Arrest Team. His real expertise is in boxing. When ites to martial arts, he isn¡¯t as good as most of the people present. ¡°Junior Brother, do you know what¡¯s his background?¡± Guo Yang quietly approached Wu Ran and whispered. ¡°Mediocre talent, Senior Brother need not worry.¡± Wu Ran did not pay attention to Chen Sheng like the others. Even as he spoke, his eyes were closed, lost in thought. Hearing this, Guo Yang nodded in relief. He asked this because the resources for direct disciples were limited. The more of them there were, the less resources they would have to share. Therefore, Having fewer direct disciples was better. Knowing that Chen Sheng wasn¡¯t a threat, Guo Yang gave him a polite smile. As for the other disciple Li Qian, She stopped paying attention to Chen Sheng after hearing Wu Ran¡¯s evaluation. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t know about these hidden agendas among the direct disciples. Once Li Xingwu had spoken, he bowed in acknowledgment. Then, The three direct disciples each led a group of disciples to a corner of the practice martial field. Chen Sheng followed Shi Jian and came to Wu Ran¡¯s side. He nned to take turns checking out the strengths of these direct disciples. ¡°Who¡¯s first.¡± Once everyone stood still, Wu Ran emotionlessly asked from the center. ¡°Brother Wu, I¡¯ll go first.¡± Shi Jian raised his hand. ¡°The sooner I die, the sooner I¡¯ll be reborn.¡± He muttered quietly and then walked to Wu Ran¡¯s front. ¡°Please enlighten me.¡± Shi Jian made a respectful bow. ¡°Hm.¡± Wu Ran nodded slightly. ¡°I will control my force to match yours.¡± Chen Sheng suddenly became very alert. This was his first time seeing martial artists battling in reality. Both of them took their stances at the same time. Shi Jian initiated the attack first. He took three steps merging into two, and his massive body charged at Wu Ran with the force of a storm. His arm was like an axe de, his fist broke through the air, aimed at Wu Ran¡¯s neck. All these movements werepleted within a single breath. Much faster than during practice. Chen Sheng stared closely at the two, not wanting to miss any detail. Fortunately, his senses had improved a lot in the past few days. Otherwise, he might not be able to catch Shi Jian¡¯s movements. At this moment, As the fist was about to hit his neck, Wu Ran remained calm andposed. ¡°Too slow.¡± Next second, He moved. Left leg stepped forward, right arm punched straight into the ribs. Bang! The sudden pain in his ribs caused Shi Jian¡¯s attack toe to an abrupt halt. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to keep his body from tilting. However, Wu Ran¡¯s onught had not stopped. He took half a step forward and punched straight towards Shi Jian¡¯s chest. Shi Jian hastily blocked. ¡°Too much of a gap.¡± With a casualment, Wu Ran instantly changed his move, and struck Shi Jian¡¯s left ribs once again. Bang! ¡°Your footwork is too unstable.¡± Bang! ¡°Your defense is too weak.¡± Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang. Thest sound. It was the noise of Shi Jian¡¯s body hitting the floor. In less than ten seconds, Shi Jian was defeated with no chance of fighting back, gasping for air while covering his injured spots. ¡°Leave when you¡¯re done.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t waste time here.¡± Wu Ran¡¯s disdainful expression, Made Chen Sheng frown. Shi Jian forcibly endured the pain and climbed up from the ground. ¡°Thank you Senior Brother for your guidance.¡± Then, He limped off into the crowd. ¡°Next.¡± Wu Ran¡¯s indifferent voice rang out once more. Chapter 22 22 Chapter 22: Past Events and Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Are you okay?¡± Chen Sheng helped Shi Jian, who hade to his side. Thetter was clutching his ribs, hissing asionally. ¡°It¡¯s just a minor injury, not worth mentioning.¡± With a wry smile, Shi Jian tried to give a thumbs up. But the moment he moved, it aggravated his injured nerve, causing his body to cramp from the pain. Chen Sheng, ignoring Wu Ran¡¯s beating of the other disciples, helped Shi Jian to a side to rest. ¡°Is it always like this after each sparring session?¡± After Shi Jian settled down, Chen Shung posed his puzzled question. He couldn¡¯t understand what good it could do to spar like this. ¡°Not necessarily.¡± ¡°Look over there.¡± Shi Jian nodded toward another direction. Chen Sheng looked over. It was the area where the eldest brother, Guo Yang, was sparring. The spar on the field,pared to Wu Ran¡¯s one-sided beatings, seemed much more formal. It was said to be a spar, but it was more like correcting moves. For every move, Guo Yang would point out the opponent¡¯s mistakes and then demonstrate the correct move himself. The disciples standing there all had excited expressions on their faces. It was a scene of warmth and harmony. ¡°However,pared to Wu Ran, it¡¯s not the worst.¡± ¡°Look over at Li Qian¡¯s side.¡± At this time, Shi Jian¡¯s voice rang out again. Chen Sheng looked in another direction. Shock shed across his face. He saw that Li Qian had already returned to Li Xingwu¡¯s side. And those disciples she had brought with her, each of themid on the ground, wailing in misery. ¡°Before Qi-sensors existed, a spar was indeed a spar.¡± ¡°It allowed stronger martial artists to consolidate their skills while teaching others, and allowed the weaker ones to learn something.¡± ¡°But now, with the appearance of Qi-sensors,¡± ¡°A spar is more like a trial.¡± ¡°Those with poor Qi-Sense talent, as well as those disciples of the martial hall who were unable to be Qi-sensors, if they perform too poorly, they will be expelled from the martial hall by the Grand Master after the spar.¡± Speaking of this, Shi Jian let out a sigh. Then, Seeing Chen Sheng¡¯s incredulous expression, he continued. ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking.¡± ¡°Actually, the Grand Master wasn¡¯t like this originally.¡± ¡°For those disciples with poor talent, he used to scold and beat them, but it was because he was frustrated that they weren¡¯t living up to their potential.¡± ¡°But ever since that incident happened with Li Qian¡¯s family, the Grand Master changed.¡± ¡°As for what exactly happened, I¡¯m not sure, and I dare not ask.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng looked thoughtful. Half a year ago¡.. Wasn¡¯t that when the tide rising period just began? And from the conversation yesterday between Li Xingwu and my master, it seems that the father and son haven¡¯t seen each other since half a year ago. Chen Sheng was quite curious about what happened back then. But he didn¡¯t have the habit of striking where it hurt, he could only wait for a chance to ask in the future. As time gradually passed, Wu Ran¡¯s sparring was also over. Lastly, Guo Yang¡¯s spar came to an end. After the sparring was over, All the disciples gathered again. Li Xingwu called out a few names of the disciples. ¡°Those of you, don¡¯t bothering to the martial arts hall from tomorrow onwards.¡± ¡°With your aptitude, there¡¯s no point in further practice. Better roll now than dieter.¡± Those whose names were called looked as if they were grieving. But they know Li Xingwu¡¯s personality, no negotiations. Regardless of how they begged and struggled, it would be futile. After that, Li Xingwu went straight towards the inner courtyard. Only the ordinary disciples were left, bidding each other farewell. On his first day at the martial arts hall, Chen Sheng only knew Shi Jian. He felt a bit out of ce in this situation. So, After saying goodbye to Shi Jian, he left the martial arts hall and prepared to go to the gym. After Chen Sheng left, The Inner Courtyard. This ce, a distinct area set up by the Xingwu Gym, is a stark contrast to the environment within the Martial Arts Hall, with its distinct rural style. Under a massive banyan tree, Li Qian and Wu Ran were incessantly guzzling broth from a bowl. Li Xingwu, on the other hand, sat on a rocking chair nearby, humming a tune with his eyes closed, gently waving a Pu Fan in his hand. ¡°Master, Li Chenghu¡¯s disciple has left.¡± That¡¯s when, Guo Yang peeked out from the door which connected the Practice Martial Field to the other courtyard and said. As for what he was talking about. Wu Ran and Li Qian turned a deaf ear, continuing with their Three-Body Stance practice immediately after finishing their medicine broth. From their stance, however, they were still at Level 1. A far cry from Chen Sheng¡¯s Level 2. Li Xingwu, upon hearing the news, directly let out a cold snort. ¡°My son, he can¡¯t even master martial arts, and he¡¯s also blind.¡± ¡°Bringing such azy person into the Martial Arts Hall, I¡¯m not sure what he¡¯s thinking.¡± ¡°Senior Brother Li is not impulsive, his words and actions must have profound implications.¡± Guo Yang walked into the courtyard, a warm smile on his face as he tried to pacify him. ¡°I don¡¯t care about his profound implications!¡± ¡°Next time during sparring, if this Chen Sheng does not perform, tell him to get lost.¡± Once Li Xingwu dered his decision, Guo Yang did not dare to argue. He went to Wu and Li¡¯s side, prepared to practice the Three-Body Technique. ¡°But as for you!¡± But Li Xingwu shot him a nce. ¡°How¡¯s Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound faring?¡± ¡°If you keep going on like this, and if Wu Ran manages to master it before you, where will you, his senior brother, put your face!¡± In the face of Li Xingwu¡¯s reprimand, Guo Yang¡¯s face was bitter. ¡°How can Ipare with Junior Brother Wu; his talent and my talent.¡± ¡°Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound is not an ordinary skill; I can¡¯t master it that quickly.¡± ¡°You still dare to argue?¡± Li Xingwu¡¯s eyes bulged as he threw away the Pu Fan in his hand. ¡°Seems like it¡¯s been a long time since I trained you.¡± ¡°Ahh Master, I¡¯m hurriedly practicing now, so don¡¯t disrupt me.¡± ¡°Take this punch!¡± Boom! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Outside Xingwu gym. Right after Chen Sheng left, his phone in his pocket began to vibrate. Upon checking, it was a message from his own master, Li Chenghu. [Tiger Roams the World: How did you fare in the Martial Arts Hall today?] Chen Sheng immediately replied. [Qingfeng Xi: Learned the Five Elements Fist, feel like I should get the hang of it if I practice tonight] [Tiger Roams the World: (thumbs up) As expected of my disciple, train well and strive to be the direct disciple] [Qingfeng Xi: No, your disciple swears to follow the master through thick and thin, even the Grand Master can¡¯t make me change my sect] Chen Sheng started his habitual ttery again. However, He meant what he said. He could learn the art of Xingyi as amon disciple, so why bother bing a direct disciple.action Being personally guided by the Grand Master may sound good, but it¡¯s not as quick as Chen Sheng himself upgrading through adding points. His main goal was to quickly improve his physical fitness with cultivation techniques like the Three-Body Stance. [Tiger Roams the World: (rolls eyes) A direct disciple is just a title, not a must for swearing my dad as a master] [Moreover, only by bing a direct disciple can one learn the real secret art of Xingyi Fist, Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound] [Qingfeng Xi: Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, what¡¯s that?] [Tiger Roams the World: It¡¯s a type of breathing technique for cultivation, my dad never taught me the specifics] [But what I can tell you for sure is that the reason I wanted you to practice martial arts is because of the existence of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.] [Only by practicing Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, can a Qi-sensor have a chance of resisting a Heavenly Person] [And as far as I know, most Martial Arts Sects do not have a legacy of breathing methods] That strong? Although he never met a Heavenly Person. But from others, especially from Li Chenghu¡¯s repeated stress. Chen Sheng also understands how powerful Heavenly People are. They are beings who view Qi sensors and humans as ants. But Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound can actually give Qi Sensors a possibility to resist Heavenly People. Upon hearing what Li Chenghu had to say, Chen Sheng¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. ¡°I wonder if there¡¯s anything online.¡± After ending the chat, Chen Sheng started looking up information on Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound on his phone. However, When he started searching, he realized something was not right. Chapter 23 23 Chapter 23: Upgrade and Express Delivery Arrival Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng searched for Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound and immediately got numerous entries. However, oddly enough, only a few of these entries were rted to martial arts. Chen Sheng searched for about 10 minutes without finding any useful information. ¡°Strange.¡± He clearly remembered that there were many martial arts information videos on the inte. He originally nned to collect arge amount of martial arts information on the inte after learning Xingyi Fist, and then use the Golden Finger to quickly upgrade. But now, no matter what Chen Sheng searched for, be it Xingyi, Wing Chun, or any other boxing method. The instructional videos disappeared without a trace. Unclear about the reason, Chen Sheng immediately sent a WeChat message to Li Chenghu. After getting a reply, he then learned. Months ago, the inte has already conducted an initiative to delete specific martial arts information continuously. The purpose is to prevent wild Heavenly People and Qi-sensors from learning and expanding their harm. Now, on the inte, only the most basic information on martial arts remains. If you want to learn martial arts, you have to either join a Martial Arts Hall or the Wu¡¯an Bureau. It¡¯s almost impossible to learn on your own. Once he understood this, Chen Sheng gave up his idea of looking for Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound online. He put away his phone and walked to the roadside. A direct disciple, huh? That¡¯s worth a shot. The more cultivation techniques to quickly improve one¡¯s physical attributes, the better. With that thought, Chen Sheng warmed up his hands and feet on the spot, then started running toward the gym again. One hourter, he arrived at the gym sessfully and increased his Physical Attribute by 0.03. Running ten kilometers was now a piece of cake for Chen Sheng. He checked the time. It was twelve o¡¯clock at noon. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t enter the gym right away. He went to a buffet restaurant, and under the strange gaze of the waiter, he finished his lunch. After a short rest, as the feeling of fullness gradually disappeared, Chen Sheng entered the gym. The boss of this Jason Gym was Li Chenghu himself. Just now, on the phone, he told Chen Sheng that he could go directly to the VIP area. He had already notified the gym staff to set one of the VIP rooms exclusively for Chen Sheng¡¯s use. Eager to have a better gym experience, Chen Sheng epted the offer dly. He went to the reception and took a key for the VIP room. The front desk girl, who had been notified, even stood up and bowed to greet Chen Sheng. This suddenly gave him the illusion that he was a rich second-generation person. With the key in hand, Chen Sheng headed towards the VIP area. On his way, he met Coach Jack. Coach Jack seemed to have also got the memo and knew that Chen Sheng¡¯s status was now extraordinary. Seeing Chen Sheng from afar, Jack immediately lowered his head and avoided Chen Sheng, as if afraid that Chen Sheng would make trouble for him. As for Ah Wei, he was not with Coach Jack. It¡¯s unclear whether it was due to the setback he got from Chen Sheng that he lost confidence in trainingpletely. Seeing this, Chen Shengughed it off. Seeing Jack¡¯s pathetic appearance, he was already quite satisfied. To chase after and beat a drowning dog, that would be too demeaning. He was now a person of status; the faces of those cats and dogs weren¡¯t worth him hitting anymore! Chen Sheng¡¯s inner thoughts fully demonstrated what it means to be dog¡. Uh, Um¡. It should be said that he was a fox exploiting the tiger¡¯s might; it sounds better this way. Thinking this way, Chen Sheng arrived at the VIP area. There were a total of six rooms, one of which had Chen Sheng¡¯s name written on the door. He opened the door with a thrust. Inside, was a spacious room. All kinds of aerobic equipment, strength equipment, tea tables, lockers, and entertainment options were avable. There was even a balcony for VIP room users to have tea and rest. Chen Sheng was excited and touched everything around the room. He experimented with various equipment. After his excitement, he was ready to start the training officially. He went to the treadmill. At the present, normal running intensity was already a bit too low for Chen Sheng¡¯s constitution. He decided to increase the intensity. Chen Sheng adjusted the speed and incline. Once it was set, he started running. Not long after starting, Chen Sheng felt an obvious differencepared to his normal running. The pressure from the incline and speed greatly increased the rate at which his physical strength drained. And the force exerted by the leg muscles was more evident. This feeling was precisely what Chen Sheng wanted. One hourter. ¡°Huff¡ª¡± Chen Sheng gasped for breath as he stepped down from the treadmill. The moment his feet touched the ground, he felt as if he were floating, his whole body feeling light. It took a while for this feeling to gradually subside. He summoned the Panel. The effect of this run was surprisingly good. Constitution increased by 0.05, Strength by 0.02, Agility by 0.01. This was almost the same as Chen Sheng running twenty kilometers during the day, and it saved him half the time. After that, Chen Sheng went to the strength area. With the further amplification of his body, his training weight was now increased again. Picking up a 35kg dumbbell, Chen Sheng began strength training. One hourter. Chen Sheng was at the tea table, brewing tea while looking at the Panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.37] [Agility: 1.16] [Constitution: 1.48] [Skills: Limit-breaker Body, Three-body Stance, Xingyi Five Elements Fist] [Skill Points: 0.73] Strength increased 0.05, the other two increased 0.01 each. As Chen Sheng¡¯s physical fitness grew stronger, the effectiveness of his training also increased. [Xingyi Five Elements Fist Level 0: 1/500] Compared to the Three-body Stance, the Five Elements Fist required a much higher level of mastery. Perhaps this was because there was not only a fighting method but also a cultivation method involved. Chen Sheng nned to upgrade itter in the evening, and whenbined with the Three-body Stance, the effect would surely be further enhanced. Finished training, Chen Sheng nced at the time after a short rest. It was now three in the afternoon. Going home for a nap, then getting up in the evening to practice the Three-body Stance should be perfect. Chen Sheng tidied up and left the gym directly. After training, due to the increase in attributes, Chen Sheng still retained a considerable amount of physical strength. While he was not at his peak, running nine kilometers was no problem. Reaching downstairs, Chen Sheng stepped forward and ran towards his home. Forty minutester, He sessfully arrived at the entrance of his home. This run increased his constitution attribute by 0.03. He would have been thrilled just a couple of days ago. But now, Chen Sheng had seen the bigger picture. This little improvement was nothing special. Arriving at the door, Chen Sheng took out the key and looked at the small wooden house next to him. The door was closed, and it seemed that Xu Ziwen was not at home. Without giving it much thought, Chen Sheng opened the door and entered the other courtyard. In the courtyard, there were two express deliveries on the wall, onerge and one small. They were the weighted gear and earplugs Chen Sheng had bought. Grabbing the express deliveries, he went straight to the third floor. Upon returning home, Chen Sheng followed his usual routine, taking out the medicated packages to cook, and taking a bath at the same time. When he came out, The water was just boiling. Setting the timer, he went to bed and fell asleep. When he woke up again, the sky was already getting dark. ¡°Ahh!¡± Chen Sheng stretched. The exhaustion from the daytime training waspletely gone after waking up. Heading to the kitchen. Just like yesterday, the Vitality Soup would take another half an hour to be ready. Chen Sheng took advantage of this time to prepare dinner. One hourter. Having finished dinner, Chen Sheng drank the Vitality Soup in one gulp. As he waited for the Vitality Soup to take effect, Chen Sheng summoned the Panel to upgrade his Xingyi Five Elements Fist. [Xingyi Five Elements Fist level 0: 1/500] He focused his mind and pressed the skill point on the back. Skill points quickly decreased by 0.5 [Xingyi Five Elements Fist level 1: 1/2000] Chapter 24 24 Chapter 24 Joint Practice and the Three Bodies Five Elements Trantor: 549690339 A stream of information instantly flowed into Chen Sheng¡¯s mind. Originally only having a vague understanding of the Five Elements Fist, Chen Sheng now felt that he understood the principles and the force involved much better. He couldn¡¯t wait to go to the balcony and test out his idea from this morning. Combining the Three-body Stance with the Xingyi Five Elements Fist. The Three-body Technique is the foundation of the Xingyi Fist. The Five Elements Fist and the Twelve Forms Boxing evolve from it. The training method in the Five Elements Fist also aims to strengthen oneself. Therefore, There were many simrities between the two, and they could be executed simultaneously without conflict. Chen Sheng assumed the posture of the Three-body Technique. Next, He looked straight ahead, his left hand falling and changing to a fist while his right hand followed suit by clenching, his left foot stepped forward halfway, making the splitting fist gesture. Splitting Fist belongs to Metal, nourishing the lungs and strengthening the Qi. Drilling Punch belongs to Water, strengthening the essence and consolidating the kidneys. Bashing Fist belongs to Wood, smoothing the liver and clearing the galldder. Cannon Fist belongs to Fire, strengthening the heart and increasing power. Cross Punch belongs to Earth, strengthening the spleen and stomach. The Five Elements interact with and restrain each other. As Chen Sheng executed each one of the movements, he felt as if every corner of his body was trembling. The more he practiced, the more excited he became, wishing he could continue practicing like this forever. Three hourster. Chen Sheng felt his energy was almost depleted. His movements started to be faster, the Qi and blood in his body elerated, and the breaking air sound between each move gradually grew louder. In the quiet night, it was particrly noticeable. Unfortunately, until the end, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t produce a single sound. As for the reason, he attributed it to his physical constitution. After all, Chen Sheng was not a true Qi-sensor and had not gone through the transformation of the physical body. He still had some time before he could catch up with Shi Jian, let alone Wu Ran, such monsters. But Chen Sheng was not discouraged. On the contrary, he looked forward to the future even more. He called up the panel. Seeing the sess of tonight¡¯s training, Chen Sheng was overjoyed. All three attributes increased by 0.13. It was a third more effective than practicing the Three-body Posture alonest night. Overjoyed, Chen Sheng went to the edge of the balcony to catch a breath and recover his strength. He looked at Xu Ziwen¡¯s wooden house. It was still pitch dark. Could it be¡ that this person went to sweep the grave again? Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the graveyard. Sure enough. He saw a faint light, just leaving the graveyard, and walking along the path in his direction. With Chen Sheng¡¯s current vision, he could barely recognize that figure¡ª it was Xu Ziwen, who was holding a pile of things in his hand, presumably just returning from sweeping the grave. ¡°This person¡ is a real saint.¡± Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. As Xu Ziwen approached, he noticed Chen Sheng, who was on the balcony. ¡°Hey, Brother Chen, you¡¯re practicing martial arts again today.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chen Sheng smiled and replied. After a few simple pleasantries, Xu Ziwen prepared to enter the wooden house. However, at that moment, it seemed as if he remembered something. ¡°Brother Chen, wait for me.¡± After saying that, he entered the wooden house. Leaving Chen Sheng on the balcony, looking baffled. About two or three minutester, Xu Ziwen reappeared, his hands now holding a basket of fruit. ¡°I was in a hurry when I moved in yesterday, and I haven¡¯t had a chance to properly visit you. Please forgive me.¡± As Xu Ziwen spoke, he ced the fruit basket on the wall. Such politeness from him made Chen Sheng feel a little embarrassed. He hadn¡¯t even thought about visiting his neighbor. ¡°Teacher Xu, have you had dinner? Would you like toe up and sit down?¡± Chen Sheng sent out an invitation. But Xu Ziwen repeatedly waved his hand. ¡°I still need to prepare my lessons, so I won¡¯t bother you tonight.¡± ¡°In a few days, I will definitely visit you on the weekend.¡± After a few more pleasantries, Xu Ziwen returned to the wooden house. ¡°What a good person.¡± Chen Sheng sighed while taking the fruit basket downstairs. Returning upstairs, Chen Sheng washed the fruits that Xu Ziwen had brought, and then he started eating a pear while unpacking the delivery that had just arrived today. Weighted gear and earplugs. After unpacking, Chen Sheng tidied up the delivery box and immediately tried on the weighted vest. The vest was ck, and its overall structure was a mesh design to ensure breathability. There were twenty small pockets around the waist to insert steel bars and adjust the weight. Chen Sheng put on the vest, fastened the buckles on both sides, and inserted four steel bars, making a total weight of 20 kilograms. He tried moving around a bit. There was no feeling of obstruction, and the vest moved smoothly. However, 20kg was a bit too light for him now. Moreover, the pressure on his feet and arms was not great. Chen Sheng then immediately put on the leg weights and weighted wristbands, with a total weight of 30kg. The pressure was just right and not too much. After putting on the gear, Chen Sheng felt that his physical strength had almost recovered. He immediately went to the balcony and started his weighted training to see how effective it would be. First, push-ups. When he began, Chen Sheng felt good. But after doing fifty push-ups, he noticed he was breathing heavily, and his arms began to feel sore and swollen. One hundred. Two hundred. Two hundred and fifty. Bang! Chen Shengy on the ground, his arms aching unbearably. Training with the weighted gear doubled the pressure. But Chen Sheng was extremely excited. Because he knew that the training effect this time would definitely be much better than before. Thinking about this, After a brief rest, he crawled up from the ground and started doing sit-ups. Two hundred sit-ups. Four hundred squats. ¡°Hoo-¡± After finishing the training, Chen Shengy t on the balcony. It was as if he could hear the wailing of his own muscles. He couldn¡¯t wait to check the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.59] [Agility: 1.31] [Constitution: 1.66] [Skill Points: 0.78] Looking at the changing attributes, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but smile widely. His strength increased by 0.09, while agility and constitution each increased by 0.02. Compared to yesterday, the effect had almost doubled. Though it seemed insignificant, It would greatly shorten the time it took for Chen Sheng to be stronger. After all, The stronger his body, the faster the effect of the improvements would be. The only thing that troubled Chen Sheng was his agility attribute. The other two attributes had specific ways to increase them. But there was none for the agility attribute. At this rate, the gap between attributes would only widen, inevitably causing problems. However, Chen Sheng thought about it, but couldn¡¯t figure out a solution. He could only take one step at a time. After resting, He got up from the ground and went to the living room. He took off the weighted gear and went straight to the bathroom. After taking a shower, Chen Sheng went to the living room and took out the earplugs he had just bought today. The moment his ears were plugged, he felt the whole world be incredibly quiet. At night, There were always some faint noises outside the house. After his senses were enhanced, Chen Sheng was deeply troubled. Now, He could finally sleep soundly. With that thought, Chen Sheng went to the bedroom and turned off the light. Soon, Soft snoring could be heard in the room. Chapter 25 25 Chapter 25: Morning Run and Righteous Bravery Trantor: 549690339 The next day, early morning. Eight o¡¯clock. As soon as the time came, Chen Sheng opened his eyes on his own ord. He sat up on the bed, stretchingzily. He felt invigorated and refreshed. He took out the earplugs, got up, and washed up. After breakfast, Chen Sheng put on his weighted gear and went out. Chen Sheng was highly doubtful whether he couldplete twenty kilometers carrying 30kg of weight. But it did not matter. If not today, then tomorrow. If still not tomorrow, thenter it will. Chen Sheng had full confidence in his progress. He started running. Five kilometers in, Chen Sheng usually found this distance to be a piece of cake. But now, He clearly felt that his stamina was already diminished by more than half, and his breathing rate had involuntarily be faster. Ten kilometers.action Stamina gradually depleted. Chen Sheng¡¯s face turned red. But he did not stop; instead, he gritted his teeth and kept going. Relying on the stamina recovery brought by the increase of his physical attribute, he felt like he could still push further. Thirteen kilometers. ¡°Heh¡ªWoooah¡ªHeh!¡± Chen Sheng bent down on the side of the road, cing both hands on his knees, panting heavily. His calves trembled as if he was dancing to disco music. Only half the distance, And he was already exhausted. His stamina recovery speed could no longer keep up with the rate he was expending. Once his breathing slowed down a bit, Chen Sheng decided to rest for a while and then catch a moto-taxi. Chen Sheng sat on a stone stool, bored, watching the passing traffic. Behind him was the edge of a small town in Jincheng District, still retaining the style of the 1980s. Across the road, there was an old park. Apart from Chen Sheng, many people were running here. ¡°Help me~¡± ¡°Robbery~¡± However, He had barely settled in when he suddenly heard cries for help from his right side. Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a middle-aged man in a ck hooded sweatshirt, rushing in his direction. Not far behind the man, a woman in a red cotton padded jacket was chasing him. The cries for help came from her. As the distance between him and the robber was getting closer, Chen Sheng could not just stand by. As fast as lightning, he stood up from the stone stool, ready to intercept the robber. But the next second, something unexpected happened. The robber, whether out of fear of Chen Sheng or something else, changed direction in an instant upon seeing him and rushed towards the town instead. Chen Sheng knew this was bad. This small town had many narrow alleys, and no surveince cameras. If the robber escaped, it would be difficult to find him. Without any time to think, Chen Sheng immediately started chasing the robber. But he soon regretted it. At present, his stamina was almostpletely depleted, and he still had 30kg of weight on him, which he didn¡¯t have time to take off. When it came to running speed, he was no match for the robber. Within just a few seconds, he was already left more than ten meters behind. Damn it! The two of them chased and fled until they reached a narrow alley, with residential houses on both sides. Seeing that the other party was about to run out of his sight, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but curse inwardly. But at that moment, ¡°Stop!¡± Amand came from behind. Chen Sheng turned to look. He saw a ck figure, swiftly passing by him and heading straight for the robber. It was so fast, it was astounding. In the blink of an eye, it was already close to the robber. The ck figure stretched out its right arm, and its fist hit the back of the robber. The off-bnce robber flew several meters away under the effect of inertia. But he didn¡¯t lose consciousness and instead struggled to get up from the ground, all the while cursing loudly. ¡°F*ck you¡ªAh!!¡± The words were not even finished, when there was a muffled thud. The ck figure¡¯s right leg swung like a whip, instantly smashing into the robber¡¯s leg. Crack! Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Chen Sheng could hear the crisp sound of bone breaking. With this hit, itpletely cut off the possibility of the robber escaping. Chen Sheng stopped in his tracks, only then did he see the figure clearly. To his surprise, it was a young woman. The other party was not tall, she seemed to not even reach 1.6 meters. She wore a sports outfit, long braids fluttering behind her. A pair of almond-shaped eyes fiercely red at the robber on the ground but did not seem intimidating, even a bit adorable. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± The woman kicked again and knocked over the struggling robber. After that, she turned her head to look at Chen Sheng. Seeing that Chen Sheng was staring at her, the woman subconsciously turned her head to avoid making eye contact. Her belligerent expression quickly faded away. She opened her mouth, seemingly brewing something. After a while, she stuttered out a sentence. ¡°Can¡ can you, please, call the police?¡± Her voice was not loud. If Chen Sheng¡¯s senses were not beyond those of ordinary people, he might not have heard her clearly. He looked at the woman in surprise. Her current introverted demeanor was quite difficult to reconcile with her fierce appearance when she fought the robber moments ago. However, the desire to help remained. ¡°Oh, sure.¡± Chen Sheng took out his phone, preparing to call the police. At this moment, an unexpected change urred. ¡°Hurry up!¡± The robber suddenly shouted. The next second, Boom! The iron gate of the courtyard next to Chen Sheng was suddenly mmed open, and three skinny guys wielding small knives rushed out from it. Two of them charged towards the woman, preparing to subdue her together. The remaining one stabbed the gleaming de towards Chen Sheng. This robber actually had aplices! ¡°Stop!¡± The woman¡¯s face turned pale with fright. She was a Qi-sensor, her physical constitution far beyond ordinary people. If the three men charged at her, she wouldn¡¯t be particrly frightened. However, judging from the speed at which Chen Sheng had pursued the robber earlier, it was evident that he was an ordinary person with a subpar physical constitution. He was highly likely to be stabbed. With that thought, the woman pushed off with her right foot, her body shooting forward like an arrow off the string, trying to save Chen Sheng. However, the other two robber aplices blocked her way. Without any hesitation, she directly leaped into the air and kicked at the head of one of them. In a crisis, she couldn¡¯t afford to hold back. Boom! Her footnded solidly on the skinny guy¡¯s temple, sending him flipping through the air andnding unconscious on the ground. Without stopping, shended, spun around and kicked the head of another skinny guy. At that moment, in the corner of her eye, she noticed thest skinny guy was already approaching Chen Sheng with a knife. No good, she was running out of time! Her face anxious, she abandoned her attack and rushed towards Chen Sheng, disregarding the fact that an enemy, wielding a knife, was right beside her. However, no matter how fast she was, she could not cross the ten meters in such a short instant. She watched as the gleaming knife was about to stab Chen Sheng. That¡¯s when the woman unexpectedly saw, the young man who hade to help¡ appeared to be smiling? Yes. Chen Sheng was smiling. At the moment the skinny guy got close to him, he suddenly felt the blood and Qi inside his body surge rapidly. Everything in his field of vision seemed to slow down. His heart raced, the pounding echoed in his ears, one beat after another. His body was shaking uncontrobly, but it wasn¡¯t fear, but sheer excitement. So much so, that Chen Sheng subconsciously curved the corners of his mouth. The next second, he made his move. Instead of retreating, Chen Sheng advanced with a half step, closing in on the skinny guy. He stomped his right foot on the ground, his fist slicing through the air, striking the skinny guy¡¯s abdomen with lightning speed. Half-step Bashing Fist! Chapter 26 26 Chapter 26 Auntie and Doubting Life Trantor: 549690339 Bang! The skinny guy¡¯s figure instantly flew out several meters, tumbling on the ground several times. An intense pain came from his abdomen. As a result, he was on the ground with his body curled like a cooked shrimp. His face was contorted, with tears and mucus mixed, looking quite disgusting. In the end, The skinny guy struggled a few times and directly fainted with his eyes rolled back. Chen Sheng stood still, still maintaining his punching posture. Visible white mist continued to emanate from the surface of his body. In the cool autumn air, it was quite a spectacr sight. It even left the woman staring in amazement. What is this? Martial Arts? She had just entered the world of Qi-sensors not long ago, and she had only heard of martial arts but had never witnessed it herself.action Previously, her thoughts were like most people, She had always thought that martial arts were not much different from other fighting techniques, and perhaps even weaker. But now, Chen Sheng hadpletely changed her concept. Martial arts could actually enable ordinary people to disy such strongbat power. If a Qi-sensor like her learned it, how strong would it be? Influenced by Chen Sheng, The woman suddenly developed a bit of interest in martial arts. ¡°Be careful!¡± While the woman was lost in thought, thest remaining skinny guy seized the opportunity and quickly stabbed her from behind with a small knife. It wasn¡¯t until a shout rang out that she was brought back to reality. Feeling the movement behind her, she started to react. Turn around, raise her leg, and whip. A clean and neat blow sent the aggressive skinny guy into the ground. At this point, The robbers and their aplices all lost their ability to act. Not far away, Chen Sheng slowly withdrew his stance. He looked at his fist. This was the first time he had fought someone after learning Xingyi Fist. This feeling, Was unexpectedly good. He even found himself relishing the feeling of his fist imprinting on the flesh of his opponent. ¡°You¡ are you okay?¡± At this moment, A somewhat weak voice sounded in Chen Sheng¡¯s ear. Chen Sheng looked to his side, The woman came to a spot two meters away from him, her mouth slightly open, seemingly about to say something. ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± Chen Sheng got the message. He immediately dialed the police station and informed them of the situation here. After hanging up the phone, Chen Sheng looked at the woman. She seemed a little at a loss, not knowing what to say. Chen Sheng then took the initiative to smile and extended his hand. ¡°Hello, my name is Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a Qi-sensor, right?¡± The existence of Qi-sensors was not meant to be hidden by the officials. As the tide rising period approached, it would be difficult to hide it any longer. Therefore, Chen Sheng had no qualms about it. Moreover, Given the woman¡¯s skill, Chen Sheng could not think of any other possibilities except for her being a Qi-sensor. ¡°Oh¡ hello, my name is Xu Rou.¡± ¡°Yes, I am ¨C huh?¡± Onlyter did Xu Rou realize that Chen Sheng actually knew about Qi-sensors. Although it wasn¡¯t considered a secret, not many ordinary people were aware of it. The official did not hide it but did not promote it either. ¡°Are you a Qi-sensor too?¡± Although Chen Sheng¡¯s punch earlier had surprised her, His speed while running earlier¡ It shouldn¡¯t be. How could a Qi-sensor have such poor physical constitution? As for sending the robber¡¯s aplice flying with a punch, she thought it was because of martial arts. ¡°Sort of.¡± ¡°I have rtively poor talent.¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t offer any further exnation. ¡°So now¡¡± He was about to say something else. Suddenly, Chen Sheng heard a gust of wind behind his back. Huh?! His pupils constricted. Was there anyone else?! Swish! Chen Sheng quickly turned around, subconsciously taking a defensive posture, ready to send out a Bashing Fist to the approaching person. But when he saw the face of the other party, He immediately revealed a horrified expression, withdrew his stance, and sidestepped. A short and chubby figure passed by him. ¡°Woo woo woo, handsome guy, I really can¡¯t thank you enough.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, I don¡¯t know what I would have done.¡± The robbed auntie stretched out her arms, seemingly wanting to hug Chen Sheng forfort. Her tears and snot made Chen Sheng¡¯s scalp tingle. Thump Thump Thump. Chen Sheng quickly retreated, fearing that he couldn¡¯t avoid it in time. Even when he faced the robber just now, he didn¡¯t have such a nerve-racking feeling. But the auntie seemed quite persistent. In desperation, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered, and he suddenly pointed at the robber. ¡°Auntie, your bag is going to be gone!¡± As the auntie¡¯s attention was diverted, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately fled. ¡°Miss Xu, sorry to trouble you.¡± Chen Sheng waved as he ran into the distance. Only leaving the auntie standing there, watching his back with a resentful look. ¡°What a pity, such a rare young fresh meat.¡± Xu Rou was also watching Chen Sheng¡¯s back. She tilted her head slightly, seemingly contemting something. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Running all the way to the side of the road, Chen Sheng finally stopped to catch his breath. It wasn¡¯t because he was tired. It was mostly because he was scared by the auntie. ¡°Huff¡ª¡± ¡°Nowadays aunties, really something.¡± ¡°Sigh, can¡¯t me her, can only me me for having such good looks.¡± After being narcissistic for a while, his rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down, Chen Sheng summoned the panel to check the effects of today¡¯s morning run. To his great delight, although he only ran half the distance as yesterday. The training effect was not the least bit worse. His physical attribute increased by 0.06 The other two attributes each increased by 0.01. Chen Sheng looked at the time, He got upter than yesterday, and now the martial arts hall was about to open. Just now, only about 10% of his physical strength from the morning run has been restored. The next ten kilometers, even if he could finish, would take a long time. After thinking about it, Chen Sheng decided to take a moto-taxi. He went to the roadside and began to hail a ride. Half an hourter. Chen Sheng arrived at the martial arts hall smoothly. At the entrance, people were entering the martial arts hall one after another. These people were not disciples but paid to learn some body-strengthening moves. Chen Sheng went in with them. Upon arriving at the practice field, Many disciples had already started training. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± As soon as Chen Sheng stepped in, the sharp-eyed Shi Jian waved at him. He also waved back and went to Shi Jian¡¯s side. ¡°Brother Chen, how¡¯s the Five Elements Fisting along?¡± ¡°Just average, I guess I have made some progress.¡± With the experience of mastering the Three-body Stance in one night, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t intend to hide his strength in the Five Elements Fist. In order to be a direct disciple and learn Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, showing his talent was necessary. Just need to grasp the right bnce. Hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s words, Shi Jian¡¯s first reaction was disbelief. The Five Elements Fist is not like broadcast gymnastics, and each type of fist has different requirements. Whether it¡¯s muscle adjustment, force flow, or breathing rhythm. They are all areas that require great care. If anybody else said this, Shi Jian would think they were talking nonsense. But, It¡¯s Chen Sheng in front of him. Although his Qi-sensing talent was terrible. His martial arts talent was nothing short of monstrous. For a moment, Shi Jian was somewhat skeptical. Seeing this, Chen Sheng showed a mysterious smile. He raised his hand and gestured to Shi Jian to step back. Meaning, Please step back a little. Faced with Chen Sheng¡¯s teasing, Shi Jian didn¡¯t argue but immediately stepped back a couple of steps, watching him intently. Immediately afterward, Chen Sheng began to practice the Five Elements Fist. Chop, crash, drill, cannon, horizontal. Fighting method, training method. He demonstrated them one by one. After ten minutes. When Chen Sheng finished and stood up, Shi Jian had already sat down. He looked up at the ceiling of the martial arts hall. In his eyes, There was a sense of vicissitudes that didn¡¯t match his age. ¡°Brother Chen.¡± ¡°You said, why do we practice martial arts?¡± ¡°What is the existence of people and people depends on.¡± ¡°Where does lifee from and where does death go?¡± ¡°What is the ultimate meaning of life?¡± Chapter 27 27 Chapter 27: Improving Recruitment and Agility Trantor: 549690339 p! Chen Sheng pped Shi Jian, breaking his wise man mode. ¡°Stop spazzing out.¡± Shi Jian¡¯s face looked miserable. ¡°But Brother Chen, you¡¯re really messing with my mind!¡± ¡°One night of your training is equivalent to my one or two years of hard work.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright.¡± Chen Sheng patted Shi Jian¡¯s shoulder: ¡°At least your Qi Sense Talent is better than mine.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst time, this is the age of the Qi-sensor.¡± ¡°No matter how high your martial arts realm is, if your physical quality can¡¯t keep up, it¡¯s useless.¡± Chen Sheng felt fortunate at this moment, Shi Jian didn¡¯t know anything about the panel. Otherwise, he could hardly imagine, what kind of mental trauma he would inflict on this immature and burly young man. Listening to Chen Sheng¡¯s constion, Shi Jian¡¯s face finally somewhat eased. He looked up at Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, what¡¯s your next n, are you going to learn the Twelve Forms Boxing, or¡?¡± Chen Sheng shook his head. ¡°Not learning Twelve Forms Boxing for now.¡± Truthfully, Chen Sheng was not very interested in mere striking techniques. What he wanted more were techniques like the Three-Body Stance, Five Elements Fist, or the unacquired Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound that would quickly enhance his physical abilities. He chose toe to the Martial Arts Hall, where he could freely show off his talents and see if he could catch Li Xingwu¡¯s attention. ¡°Let¡¯s spar?¡± ¡°Our Five Elements Fist realm is about the same now.¡± Hearing this, Shi Jian¡¯s eyes lit up. He was excited. He had just been severely defeated by Chen Sheng. Given the chance to regain his honor, he naturally couldn¡¯t ask for more. Shi Jian suddenly showed agility that didn¡¯t match his burly body and jumped up from the ground. ¡°Bring it!¡± He excitedly took his stance. ¡°Alright,¡± Chen Sheng chuckled. Then, he took a few steps back, beginning to remove the weighted gear from his body. When the weight bearing equipment on his body, calves, and wrists was removed and thrown to the ground with a loud bang, Shi Jian couldn¡¯t help but swallow. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re not pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, are you?¡± Chen Sheng rolled his eyes and gave him a re. ¡°I wish I could.¡± With that said, he stood three meters in front of Shi Jian, striking the same Three-Body Technique stance. They faced each other. In terms of physical ability, Chen Sheng knew he was still no match for Shi Jian. Therefore, he chose to strike first. ¡°Here Ie!¡± Whoosh! Chen Sheng¡¯s feet pushed off the ground, and he rushed towards Shi Jian like an arrow. With the weighted gear removed, his speed increased dramatically. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Shi Jian. His palms turned into fists, and a right Bashing Fist aimed straight for Shi Jian¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Well done!¡± Shi Jian shouted loudly. He calmly executed a Splitting Fist that came crashing down! p! The fist hit the wrist, instantly cutting off Chen Sheng¡¯s attack. Chen Sheng¡¯s body stopped abruptly, his momentum halted. He felt a numb sensation on his wrist, and the force that was about to be unleashed was shattered. But it wasn¡¯t over yet. The moment Shi Jian shattered Chen Sheng¡¯s force, his body changed stances suddenly. Bang! His eyes wide open, he stepped forward and closed in! Changing the Chop into a Drill! The fist tore through the air, brutally aiming for Chen Sheng¡¯s ribs. In the nick of time, Chen Sheng took a half step back and threw a Cross Punch. Bang! Their fists and arms collided! Both of them retreated a step simultaneously. Chen Sheng shook his numb hand and made a grimacing face. Shi Jian, on the other hand, showed a big grin, standing in ce and grinning foolishly. ¡°Want to go again, Brother Chen?¡± Facing the provocative Shi Jian, Chen Sheng¡¯s heart didn¡¯t have a trace of dejection. Instead, the excitement from fighting the robbers in the morning surged up in his heart once again. He shook his arm and grinned as well. ¡°Again!¡± In a blink of an eye, the two bodies collided once more. Quickly, time slowly passed between the two people as they sparred again and again. Two hourster, Chen Sheng, with bruises all over his body, stood in ce, gritting his teeth in pain. ¡°You brat, your grip is fierce enough¡ª¡± Of course, Chen Sheng was not without the power to fight back. Shi Jian also clutched his ribs, convulsing with each breath. ¡°Mutual¡mutual, it¡¯s still Brother Chen who has a darker hand Ah~¡± Chen Sheng had hit him right where he was injured by Wu Ran the day before with a drilling punch, which caused such an effect. The two sat on the practice martial field, looked at each other¡¯s miserable state, andughed in unison. But theirughter only aggravated their pain, causing them to scream in agony once more. During the break, Chen Sheng called out the panel. [Three-body Stance lv2: 15/5000] [Xingyi Five Elements Fist lv1: 10/2000] During the sparring, the proficiency of the two Xingyi skills had increased. However, the speed was too slow. Fortunately, Chen Sheng did not rely on his own hard training to level up. Apart from proficiency, Chen Sheng made an unexpected discovery. It was the agility attribute. The two-hour sparring session had actually increased Chen Sheng¡¯s agility attribute by 0.07, and the other two attributes had also increased by 0.01. At first, Chen Sheng was somewhat puzzled. But thinking carefully, he suddenly understood the reason. The Xingyi Five Elements Fist, with its interdependent and antagonistic moves, required constant thinking during sparring to figure out how to break the opponent¡¯s moves and how to coordinate one¡¯s own moves. As a result, this sparring session greatly trained Chen Sheng¡¯s sensory abilities and nerve response. In this way, all three attributes now have separate training channels. The stone weighing on Chen Sheng¡¯s heart finally fell. He suddenly felt a wave of relief. Even the pain in his body seemed to have eased a bit. ¡°Stone, let¡¯s do one more hour!¡± That said, Chen Sheng immediately took up his stance again. ¡°No!¡± But Shi Jian directly raised his hand, stopping Chen Sheng¡¯s movement. ¡°Big brother, if you¡¯re not tired, I am.¡± ¡°Moreover, the sparring with several direct disciples is about to start, can you let me rest for a while?¡± At this, Chen Sheng could only sigh. ¡°What kind of monster, he has more energy than me.¡± Only after he had sat back down to rest, did Shi Jian mutter quietly. Just now, his nerves had been tense throughout their match. Now that he rxed, he felt only a heavy sensation in his brain, unable to gather his thoughts. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Nothing, nothing, I was talking to myself.¡± Obviously,action although Shi Jian¡¯s physical fitness was stronger than Chen Sheng¡¯s, he did not have the existence of the panel, and could not recover from nerve fatigue while fighting like Chen Sheng could. Chen Sheng stretched both arms andid down directly on the practice martial field. Shi Jian¡¯s strength was tremendous. And Chen Sheng could be sure that his opponent had not used his full strength. Otherwise, given his opponent¡¯s martial arts realm of light energy, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to walk for three rounds. Even so, Chen Sheng¡¯s body still ached from Shi Jian¡¯s hits from just a moment ago. Both of his arms trembled uncontrobly. If Shi Jian was like this, how terrifying would Wu Ran, who was able to beat Shi Jian into a helpless state while suppressing his physical fitness, be? At this moment, Chen Sheng suddenly understood why Li Xingwu valued Wu Ran so much. If he had only been an ordinary Qi-sensor, he would probably not have dared to even think about catching up with a genius like Wu Ran. But Chen Sheng did not feel the slightest bit of discouragement in his heart. On the contrary, his eyes became even more resolute. He wanted to be stronger. Stronger than Wu Ran, Guo Yang, and even Li Xingwu! He believed, as long as he persisted, the inevitable oue would be achieved. Chapter 28 28 Chapter 28: Request and Sparring with Guo Yang Trantor: 549690339 Bang! About half an hour after Chen Sheng rested. The wooden door in the deep end of the Practice Martial Field slowly opened. Li Xingwu led three of his Direct Disciples into the field. The time for the daily sparring hade again. Chen Sheng quickly got up from the ground and assembled together with Shi Jian in the centre of the Martial Arts Hall. Compared to yesterday. The disciples of the Martial Arts Hall looked much more rxed today. After all, yesterday, Li Xingwu had just kicked out some of the disciples from the Martial Arts Hall. In the short term, the remaining disciples were safe. Li Xingwu sat in a chair, leisurely sipping his tea, before he started assigning today¡¯s sparring partners. The same as yesterday. Those who followed Guo Yang were ecstatic. And those who followed the other two Direct Disciples cast envious nces at the former. Chen Sheng was not called. After all, he had onlye to the Martial Arts Hall for one day and had left early yesterday. Li Xingwu already had the intention to evict Chen Sheng from the Martial Arts Hall, so why would he let Chen Sheng waste one of the sparring spots? But just because the other party didn¡¯t call, Didn¡¯t mean Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t propose it himself. ¡°Grand Master.¡± In the crowd, Chen Sheng raised his hand high. ¡°I would like to spar as well.¡± As soon as he spoke, The gaze of most of the disciples immediately turned to him. But most of these looks were filled with ill-will. Few people thought Chen Sheng needed to participate in the sparring. In their view, Chen Sheng simply wanted to attract attention and waste everyone¡¯s time by speaking out. Only Shi Jian and a few disciples who had just seen Chen Sheng¡¯s sparring knew the reason behind his request. ¡°Alright.¡± However, To everyone¡¯s surprise, Li Xingwu actually agreed. Even Chen Sheng was a bit surprised. He had initially thought he needed to go through the Five Elements Fist to prove himself. Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Xingwu¡¯s next sentence immediately made everyone understand his intention. His sharp eyes fell on Chen Sheng. Li Xingwu said in a deep voice. ¡°But.¡± ¡°If your performance does not satisfy me, then get the hell out.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng finally understood Li Xingwu¡¯s n. Fortunately, He had confidence in himself. ¡°No problem.¡± Chen Sheng also agreed. Having said that. Everyone immediately divided into three groups and walked towards different corners of the Practice Martial Field.action Despite this, most of the eyes were still focused on Guo Yang¡¯s side. It¡¯s human nature to enjoy watching a spectacle. Many people were looking forward to Chen Sheng making a fool of himself. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m so thrilled just thinking about the image of you pping their facester.¡± Shi Jian was lucky today and he was also assigned to Guo Yang¡¯s side. At this moment, he leaned in to Chen Sheng and said these words with a wink. For this, Chen Sheng rolled his eyes at him. Soon, Everyone formed a circle for the sparring session. Guo Yang was in the center of the ring. He looked at Chen Sheng, with a gentle smile on his face. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, do you want to go first or?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go first.¡± Chen Sheng walked over to the front of Guo Yang, cupped his hands and saluted. ¡°Senior Brother, please teach me.¡± Upon hearing this, Guo Yang sighed with a hint of regret in his eyes. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you could have practiced martial arts honestly and with Brother Li Chenghu¡¯s face in the mix, the Grand Master would not easily kick you out.¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be so eager to prove yourself.¡± Apparently, Guo Yang thought Chen Sheng was too eager for sess. ¡°You¡¯ll know once you try, Senior Brother.¡± Chen Sheng responded with a slight smile. ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing this, Guo Yangposed his facial expression and assumed the Three-Body Technique stance. ¡°Junior Brother, please strike first.¡± Upon seeing the two about to start, The surrounding people bore expressions of anticipation for the spectacle. Even not far away, quite a few of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Ran and Li Qian¡¯s disciples were frequently ncing over here. The moment Guo Yang¡¯s words fell, Chen Sheng made his move. With a swift stride, he closed in on his opponent¡¯s front. Stamp! Chen Sheng stamped his foot firmly. His right fist was clenched tightly, its face upward. Force emerged from all over his body, gradually converging into a single line in his right arm. Right Bashing Fist! His arm drew a straight line, lunging at Guo Yang¡¯s chest. Seeing Chen Sheng¡¯s aggressive approach, a glint of surprise flickered through Guo Yang¡¯s eyes. Even among the surrounding crowd, exmations of surprise rose and fell. Because, Chen Sheng¡¯s Bashing Fist, whether in terms of the punch or the motion, was extremely standard. He didn¡¯t resemble a disciple who had just arrived at the Martial Arts Hall. However, as one of Li Xingwu¡¯s former closed-door disciples, Guo Yang wasn¡¯t likely to be scared off by Chen Sheng¡¯s punch. While inwardly expressing admiration, he directlyunched a Splitting Fist, preparing to break Chen Sheng¡¯s Bashing Fist. It seemed like the scene of their sparring with Shi Jian not long ago was about to be repeated. But Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t make the same mistake twice. He violently lunged his left foot half a step forward! While retracting his right fist, he thrust his left fist straight out from his waist. The shift in force waspleted within an instant. The Bashing Fist transitioned into a Cannon Fist! The Cannon Fist directly countered Guo Yang¡¯s Splitting Fist! ¡°Well done!¡± This clever shift in fist technique immediately elicited apuse from the disciples present. Li Xingwu, who was leisurely drinking tea by the side of the table, also paused with his teacup held up in mid-air. Over the next ten minutes, Guo Yang deliberately controlled his strength, continually trading blows and breaking attacks with Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng¡¯s performance was exceptionally good. His enhanced Agility Attribute gave his senses and nerve reflection far superior to an average person, thereby, he barely managed to keep pace with Guo Yang¡¯s rhythm. The audience watched in growing amazement. The eyes that initially held dissatisfaction and doubts towards Chen Sheng had disappeared. Until the end of their sparring session, Guo Yang stepped backward with a smile and made a salutation. ¡°Junior Brother has exceptional talent.¡± ¡°Thanks for your guidance, Senior Brother.¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng was slightly panting. Not from exhaustion, But from sparring with Guo Yang, despite thetter having suppressed his physical fitness to match Chen Sheng, he deliberately made somemon routines so that Chen Sheng could break them. However, the pressure it brought was still far more intense than from Shi Jian. Therefore, Chen Sheng had to concentrate fully to barely keep up with the pace of Guo Yang¡¯s attacks and change in movements. From this, it could be seen that, Not only was Guo Yang strong in terms of personal prowess, his understanding of Xingyi Fist was also far superior to ordinary disciples. Once again feeling the strength of others, Chen Sheng retreated to the crowd, reflecting on the gains from the sparring session. He looked at his panel. In just ten minutes, the Agility Attribute had increased by 0.01, and the proficiency of Three-body technique and Five Elements Fist had each risen by 10 points. It was a pity that, There was only so much time for sparring each day. If he could continue for two or three hours, He estimated his Agility Attribute would skyrocket. ¡°That was impressive, Brother Chen.¡± At this time, Shi Jian approached Chen Sheng and gave him a gentle nudge. ¡°You coolly pulled off a big manoeuvre.¡± Chen Sheng raised his head somewhat dazedly. He had been immersed in his spar with Guo Yang and hadn¡¯t paid attention to how shocked the others were by his performance. At this moment, most people were looking at him with a mixture of shock and disbelief in their eyes. Evidently, In just one day, Chen Sheng¡¯s training in Five Elements Fist to this degree was unprecedented. Hepletely upended their understanding of the world. However, this scene did notst long. Very quickly, with the continuation of the sparring, the disciples¡¯ attention returned to the center of the field. Chapter 29 29 Chapter 29: Attention and Neer Reporting Trantor: 549690339 Fifteen minutester. All the sparring sessions of the three parties were over. As usual, Wu Ran and Li Qian¡¯s side was the quickest. The main reason was that Guo Yang took too much time sparring with Chen Sheng. The disciples gathered again in front of Li Xingwu. ¡°Can you not waste time on these useless people next time? Do you think I¡¯m as idle as you?¡± As soon as Guo Yang returned behind Li Xingwu, Li Qian by his side frowned and said unpleasantly. Upon hearing this, The faces of the disciples turned ugly. However, due to Li Qian¡¯s status as a direct disciple and Li Xingwu¡¯s niece, They could only lower their heads and pretend not to hear. Chen Sheng looked at Li Qian with a frown. He hadn¡¯t experienced what Shi Jian said about her terrible character before. Now, he finally had a clear sense of it. After mentallybeling her as someone to keep a respectful distance from, Chen Sheng prepared to look away. However, Li Qian seemed to be able to feel his gaze and suddenly turned her head. Her sinister eyes stared at Chen Sheng. ¡°What are you looking at?!¡± ¡°You have a problem with me calling you useless?!¡± ¡°Believe it or not, I will¡ª¡± Bang! ¡°Enough!!¡± Li Xingwu mmed the tabletop and ordered with a frown. Even Li Qian didn¡¯t dare to say anything more in the face of Li Xingwu¡¯s anger. She red at Chen Sheng fiercely before reluctantly looking away. From beginning to end, Only Wu Ran, with his eyes closed, waspletely at ease. It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Seeing his performance, a touch of relief shed in Li Xingwu¡¯s eyes. Compared to Li Qian¡¯s ruthlessness and impatience for quick sess, and Guo Yang¡¯sziness, Only Wu Ran, calm and not arrogant, made rapid progress and never caused him any trouble. When the scene settled down again, Li Xingwu turned his gaze on Chen Sheng. ¡°Starting from tomorrow, you will spar with Guo Yang.¡± There was a trace of regret in his eyes. His son¡¯s vision was indeed sharp. Chen Sheng¡¯s talent in martial arts could be described as monstrous. If it were not for the tide rising period, he would have taken him as a direct disciple and treasured him. Unfortunately, His Qi sensing talent was too poor. In this era, Martial arts is only an auxiliary means. No matter how well-trained, it would be useless against Qi-sensors and Heavenly Persons with monstrous physical abilities. With these words from Li Xingwu, The disciples couldn¡¯t help but cast envious nces. Some even showed a hint of jealousy. After all, among the three direct disciples, only Guo Yang was willing to teach others during sparring. ¡°Your Senior Brother Wu has broken through Light Energy and reached Hidden Energy Level today.¡± ¡°In terms of martial arts realm alone, he deserves to be Seventh-order.¡± ¡°But in actualbat, he can defeat a Five Elements Fist!¡±action ¡°If you had half of his progression speed, why would I bother scolding you every day!¡± Talking about Wu Ran, Li Xingwu¡¯s mood seemed to improve a bit. As he spoke, a smile returned to Li Xingwu¡¯s face. As for this news, Compared to the shock of the ordinary disciples, the reactions of the two direct disciples behind him were somewhat intriguing. Guo Yang secretly gave Wu Ran a thumbs up. As for Li Qian, the depths of her eyes were filled with thick, undiluted jealousy towards Wu Ran. As for Wu Ran, he finally opened his eyes. He slightly raised his head, and calm andposed, epted the adoration in the eyes of the other disciples. After mentioning a few more things, Li Xingwu took the three direct disciples back to the inner courtyard. After the four left, Shi Jian approached Chen Sheng, putting an arm around his shoulder. ¡°Brother Chen, don¡¯t take that crazy woman¡¯s words to heart.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t afford to provoke people like her, so we¡¯d better just avoid them.¡± Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t taken the previous incident to heart, and he smiled gently when he heard this. He was about to reply when he saw a group of disciples suddenly surround the two of them. ¡°Brother Chen, can you please¡¡± ¡°Brother Chen, I was thinking¡.¡± ¡°Chen¡.¡± Between the lines, they all wanted Chen Sheng¡¯s help in guiding them in the Three-Body Technique and the Five Elements Fist. After all, Just by being able to spar with Guo Yang for ten minutes, Chen Sheng¡¯s martial arts level had already surpassed half of the disciples in the martial arts hall. On weekdays, Li Xingwu rarely had time to guide them. Some disciples with poor martial arts skills could only seek guidance from higher-level disciples like Shi Jian. But a person¡¯s energy is ultimately limited. For example, Shi Jian only asionally guided others each day, and most of the time he sparred with disciples of a simr level. Now, there was another Chen Sheng, who had just arrived and had few acquaintances. These disciples would naturally not let such an opportunity slip by. Chen Sheng nced at the time and found it quite ample, so he agreed to help. One hourter, Chen Sheng finished his guidance. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡± In the midst of the disciples¡¯ gratitude, Chen Sheng responded with a smile and nod. Then, He put on his weighted gear again, bid farewell to Shi Jian, and walked out of the martial arts hall. Although his performance today did not make Li Xingwu ept him as a disciple. But Chen Sheng was not panicked at all. After all, Strength, after all, needs to be disyed in a gradual way. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C At the same time. Quanjiang City, Jincheng District. Wu¡¯an Bureau. Li Chenghu was sitting at his office desk, rubbing his brow with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something. On his desk, there were various documents. Among them, two names appeared most frequently. Zhao Hui. And Shen Ziming. At this moment, Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door of the office. ¡°Come in.¡± Li Chenghu responded. A short figure entered, the braids fluttering behind her head looking particrly eye-catching. ¡°Captain Li, new recruit Xu¡Xu Rou, reporting!¡± Xu Rou stood straight and paused in front of the office desk, saluting Li Chenghu. Her voice was loud at first, But when she said her name, it was obviously a bit short of breath. The palm of her hand clenched at her side, sweating nervously. Xu Rou was originally an ordinary local police officer. A month ago, she identally discovered that her strength had increased significantly and performed miracles in missions. By coincidence, the Wu¡¯an Bureau was severely short of manpower and had to request for personnel from other departments. Given the opportunity, Xu Rou agreed without hesitation. She was more than happy to be able to make greater use of her talents and meet many people like herself. It was absolutely not because she got excited every time she fought. Absolutely not! At this time, Li Chenghu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Xu Rou. His fierce face, coupled with his own imposing manner, made Xu Rou even more nervous. ¡°Rx, I don¡¯t bite.¡± Li Chenghu joked with a smile, easing the atmosphere a bit. ¡°Xu Rou, right? I¡¯ve already gone through your profile.¡± ¡°The work in the Wu¡¯an Bureau is much more dangerous than you imagine, and our sry isn¡¯t very high. It¡¯s a high-risk, low-reward job.¡± ¡°If you back out now, I can still transfer you back to the local department.¡± ¡°Otherwise, if you regret it when you¡¯re already in the middle of the job, it¡¯ll be toote.¡± Li Chenghu had seen Xu Rou¡¯s profile, He knew that her strength was much more formidable than what her appearance suggested. If evaluated ording to the martial arts association¡¯s realm, Xu Rou was almost an eight-rank, or light energy warrior. But strength was only one aspect. When facing ferocious Qi-sensors or Heavenly People, courage was often more important. ¡°Please rest assured, Captain Li, I will never regret it!¡± In order to show her determination, Xu Rou shouted almost at the top of her lungs. ¡°Alright, alright, lower your voice.¡± Li Chenghu¡¯s ears itched from the loud noise, and he quickly waved his hand to signal Xu Rou to rx. ¡°Then I won¡¯t beat around the bush with you, let¡¯s get to the point.¡± Chapter 30 30 Chapter 30: Good Person and the Mysterious Organization Trantor: 549690339 Li Chenghu pulled two A4 papers from the table and handed them to Xu Rou. Xu Rou took the A4 papers and began reading the content on them. These were two profiles. The photo on the first one was of a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and a somewhat unkempt appearance. His eyes were fierce, and there was a scar at the corner of his eye, making his two eyes appear slightly misaligned. This was Zhao Hui, the murderer in the construction site case. He killed eight people at the site and killed four policemen in the process of fleeing afterward. The person in the second photo looked much more refined than Zhao Hui. It was a clean-faced young man with slicked-back hair and a gentle smile on his face. Just by looking at his image, it was hard to associate the words ¡°wanted criminal¡± with him. Xu Rou looked at his profile. This man was named Shen Ziming and had been involved in a bar fight that resulted in the deaths of seven people and serious injuries to more than a dozen others before fleeing the scene. ¡°These are our team¡¯s main targets right now.¡± Li Chenghu¡¯s voice timely rang. ¡°Zhao Hui, ording to our analysis, is roughly equivalent to a Fourth-order martial artist and extremely dangerous.¡± ¡°Shen Ziming is weaker, about equivalent to a Seventh-order martial artist.¡± ¡°Thest known locations of both of them were in Jincheng District.¡± ¡°But after Shen Ziming entered Jincheng District, hepletely vanished from our sight.¡± ¡°So right now, all we¡¯ve got are the traces of Zhao Hui.¡± Hearing this, ¡°Captain Li, are we going to arrest Zhao Hui first?¡± Xu Rou immediately asked. She stared at Zhao Hui¡¯s personal information in her hand, The fingers holding the A4 paper began to tremble slightly. Fourth-order Martial Artist, This was an existence she had never encountered before. Just thinking about the fact that she could soon be face-to-face with such a ferocious and terrifyingly powerful enemy. This was¡.such an exhrating thought. A pair of eyes deep inside, gradually lit up with excitement. ¡°No.¡± However, Li Chenghu shook his head directly.action Confronting Xu Rou¡¯s puzzled eyes, He took several more documents from the table and handed them over. They included bank statements, interrogation records, and photos taken by Wu¡¯an Bureau personnel during the investigation. ¡°ording to the ongoing investigation, Zhao Hui seemed to have connections with a mysterious organization before and after the crime urred.¡± ¡°Simrly, Shen Ziming also had connections with the organization a few days before the bar fight.¡± ¡°Moreover, we¡¯ve encountered unidentifiable people obstructing us during our previous numerous arrest operations.¡± ¡°All of that implies that there¡¯s a mysterious organization operating in the shadows, carrying out some illegal activities we don¡¯t know about.¡± ¡°And we know nothing about this organization¡¯s specific details.¡± ¡°Catching Zhao Hui alone is far from enough.¡± Hearing this, Xu Rou immediately understood Li Chenghu¡¯s intention to go fishing for big fishes. But she still hesitated a bit. ¡°But what if Zhao Hui injures others while we¡¯re monitoring his actions? What should we do?¡± As for Xu Rou¡¯s question, Li Chenghu seemed to have anticipated it. ¡°Then we¡¯ll have no choice but to arrest him directly.¡± He looked at Xu Rou, his face gradually bing serious. ¡°Our Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s top priority is not just to sessfully catch criminals.¡± ¡°It¡¯s to protect our own personal safety as well as that of the citizens. Everything else is less important than that.¡± ¡°No matter when and where, and what mission is being executed, this is the most important rule, and you must never forget it.¡± Listening to these words, Xu Rou also became serious. She nodded her head heavily. ¡°Understood, Captain Li.¡± ¡°So what now?¡± Li Chenghu waved his hand. ¡°Go find Xiao Jiang, he should be in the monitoring room right now.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be working with him on this investigation for the next few days.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Xu Rou saluted again and put the files back on the office desk. Then, She turned around and prepared to leave. As she reached the door, ¡°Oh, Captain Li,¡± Xu Rou seemed to suddenly remember something and looked back at Li Chenghu. ¡°Can we learn martial arts for free in our team?¡± Hearing this, Li Chenghu looked at her in surprise. ¡°Why do you ask that?¡± He remembered that Xu Rou had been learning Taekwondo, and she was already at the level of a ck belt eighth dan. ¡°Just asking.¡± ¡°Martial arts seem pretty powerful.¡± As she spoke, A scene shed through Xu Rou¡¯s mind ¨C it was Chen Sheng punching the robbers and the image of his body billowing with white qi. ¡°The Wu¡¯an Bureau has collected numerous written and video materials on various martial arts styles, and you can consult them at your disposal.¡± Although he didn¡¯t know why Xu Rou suddenly became interested in martial arts, Li Chenghu still answered reflexively. ¡°Captain Li, I want to ask, which martial arts style does this move belong to?¡± Xu Rou recalled Chen Sheng¡¯s movements, imitating the Bashing Fist position. Although full of errors, Li Chenghu, who had been exposed to Xingyi Fist since childhood, still recognized it at a nce. ¡°This is the Bashing Fist from the Five Elements Fist of Xingyi Fist.¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± He looked at Xu Rou with curiosity. ¡°I¡¯ve seen someone use this move before, and it looked amazing, so I wanted to learn it.¡± Having said that, Xu Rou suddenly couldn¡¯t hold back her excitement. ¡°Captain Li, I will leave first.¡± ¡°Remember to report first.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± With a soft sound, the office became quiet again. Li Chenghu sat back in his chair with his eyes closed, seemingly contemting something. Xu Rou¡¯s words just now had given him inspiration. Due to the decline of martial arts before the Tide Rising Period arrived, most of the personnel in the Wu¡¯an Bureau now were studying foreign styles such as Taekwondo, boxing, and fighting techniques, which could quickly enhance theirbat power in a short time. However, in the long run, martial arts are much more beneficial to Qi-sensors, whether in terms of physical fitness or overallbat power. It¡¯s just that, martial arts are difficult to master quickly, and those with mediocre talent may practice hard for several years and still not be as good as a prodigy who has trained for just one month. This has also led to ack of practitioners in the Wu¡¯an Bureau, despite the abundance of martial arts materials avable. Li Chenghu couldn¡¯t force his subordinates to learn martial arts, after all, he himself learned boxing. But if he could invite martial artists to give demonstrations in the team, maybe many people would be interested in martial arts like Xu Rou. ¡°If only everyone had Chen Sheng¡¯s talent.¡± Opening his eyes, Li Chenghu gazed at the ceiling, couldn¡¯t help but think of his apprentice. ¡°I¡¯ll visit him at the Martial Arts Hall tomorrow.¡± ¡°By the way, I¡¯ll ask the old man if he can send someone to give a demonstration.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Afternoon. Wutong Vige. Chen Sheng stood downstairs of his home, preparing to open the door. ¡°Teacher, give me one more, please!¡± ¡°Teacher, I want one too!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, you¡¯ll get one after you finish the exercises.¡± But the noise close by caught his attention. Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the sound. The noise wasing from Xu Ziwen¡¯s house. Through the window, he saw Xu Ziwen standing helplessly in the small wooden room. Next to him was a whiteboard covered with densely written words. In front of him was a wooden table. A group of children eagerly stared at the chocte on the table. Ferrero! Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze was also attracted by the chocte. He rarely ate snacks, but Ferrero was an exception. This chocte was one of his favorite snacks when he was a kid. The rich chocte filling,bined with the aroma of hazelnuts, had always fascinated the young Chen Sheng. At this moment, Just as Xu Ziwen was about to continue his lecture, he suddenly noticed Chen Sheng standing outside. ¡°Brother Chen, wait a moment.¡± He called out to Chen Sheng. After about ten seconds, Xu Ziwen came out of the house. He was holding a red bag in his hand. ¡°I bought some snacks at the supermarket today. You can take some home to eat.¡± Having said that, Xu Ziwen smiled and handed the bag to Chen Sheng. ¡°No, no, Teacher Xu, you are too kind.¡± Although Chen Sheng said he didn¡¯t want it, when he saw the golden-wrapped choctes in the bag, his body instinctively epted it. ¡°Who are those kids?¡± After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Sheng looked towards the house. ¡°They are children from poor families. They usually struggle to keep up with school, and their parents can¡¯t afford to send them to tutoring.¡± ¡°Since I have time at home during the day, I let theme over for tutoring after school.¡± ¡°These snacks are meant to be shared with them, and to help motivate their learning.¡± So dazzling! In Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes, there seemed to be a Buddha¡¯s light shining from the back of Xu Ziwen¡¯s head. The light was incredibly dazzling, making him squint his eyes involuntarily. ¡°Brother Chen, have some now. If you like it, there¡¯s more at my ce.¡± ¡°I have to get back to tutoring the kids.¡± Having said that, without waiting for Chen Sheng¡¯s response, Xu Ziwen quickly ran back into the house to stop the children who were about to sneak some chocte. ¡°What a good person.¡± Chen Sheng sighed and went back home with the bag. Chapter 31 31 Chapter 31: Light Energy and A Step Away Trantor: 549690339 As soon as he arrived home, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t wait to remove his weighted gear. Bang! The weighted gear mmed onto the ground, emitting a dull thud. ¡°Refreshing!!¡± Chen Sheng stretchedzily, feeling light and airy all over, as if he was about to take off in the next second. After moving his limbs a bit in ce, the familiar sense of control returned to his body. While lying on the sofa, Chen Sheng looked at the results of his training today. Just as usual, he first ran from the Martial Arts Hall to the gym, trained for three hours, and then ran back home. During this time, Chen Sheng never took off his weighted gear from start to finish. Therefore, the improvement was much greater than it had been in the previous days. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.71] [Agility: 1.44] [Constitution: 1.93] [Skill Points: 1.3] Strength increased by 0.1 Agility increased by 0.04 The most exaggerated part was the Physical Attribute, which increased by a whole 0.2 This would also be Chen Sheng¡¯s first attribute to break through 2. Furthermore, his skill points sessfully reached 1.3 Based on the current speed, Chen Sheng estimated that he could upgrade his Five Elements Fist again tomorrow. By then,bined with the Three-Body Technique, the improvement effect could be further increased. After a brief rest to restore his physical strength, Chen Sheng went to the bathroom to take a shower. ¡°These muscles,¡± ¡°These lines,¡± ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be enchanted by this sight?¡± He took off his clothes and couldn¡¯t help but admire his reflection in the mirror. Underneath his skin, the contours of his muscles were incredibly clear. Between every muscle, there were chiselled grooves. Due to his high Physical Attribute, each muscle was just right and didn¡¯t appear bloated. But hidden beneath this frame was an astonishing amount of power. Looking at Chen Sheng now, No one could rte him to the previous skin-and-bones appearance. After taking a shower, Chen Sheng took out a pack of herbs and put them in a pot to cook. After setting the timer, he went straight to bed. He opened his mobile banking app. Now his bnce was only around 37,000 yuan. Although the Martial Arts Hall didn¡¯t charge fees, it also wouldn¡¯t spend too much money on ordinary disciples. Aside from eating and buying some weighted gear, he didn¡¯t have any other expenses. But he still felt anxious. Once he¡¯s out of the herbs, he¡¯d need to buy more with his own money. Given his current appetite, his daily food expenses were no small sum. 37,000 yuan, Although it could stillst a while, there would always be a day when it would run out. Chen Sheng wanted to make money, But his daily schedule was packed full. If he really went to work, there wouldn¡¯t be much time left for training. ¡°Why not ask my master?¡± But as soon as this thought came up, Chen Sheng dismissed it directly. Given Li Chenghu¡¯s character, once he found out he didn¡¯t have much money, he might find a way to support him and do so in a way that couldn¡¯t be refused. Thinking it through, Chen Sheng didn¡¯te up with a solution. Adding to that, he was constantly overwhelmed by drowsiness, and soon he slowly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, It was alreadyte in the evening. Chen Sheng jumped up from the bed. He went to the kitchen, Cooked, ate, drank medicine, and cleaned up. One hourter. As Chen Sheng finished cleaning the bowls and chopsticks, he gradually felt a surge of heat from within his body. He could feel that the Qi and blood in his body were elerating. The reaction was more intense than before. Chen Sheng knew that the Vitality Soup was starting to take effect. He quickly walked outside. Perhaps it was because his physical quality had improved, Or perhaps it was because the weather was gradually getting colder. As soon as Chen Sheng arrived at the balcony, a white mist continuously rose from his body¡¯s surface. The surging Qi and blood within him, as well as his rapidly beating heart, constantly raised his body temperature. At the same time, this made him feel hot and restless. Chen Sheng immediately began to practice his Five Elements Fist on the balcony. First, he practiced slowly and gradually integrated the Three-Body Technique. Then, His movements got faster and faster. In the quiet night sky, the moon gradually rose higher. Moonlight spilled onto the balcony, Chen Sheng was in a state of self-forgetfulness as he repeatedly practiced the Five Elements Fist. His fists sliced through the air, one after another. The energy inside his body surged like a sea. A mist rose from his body, enveloping him as though he wore a white robe. In that moment, He seemed like a banished immortal entering the mortal realm. Time slowly flowed forward. Three and a half hourster. Only when his strength was exhausted and the vitality soup¡¯s energy waspletely transformed did Chen Sheng halt his movements. ¡°Huff¡ª¡± He took a deep breath. Warm vapors rapidly condensed into mist in the air, shooting straight out to a distance of one meter. During his training, he constantly felt that he was only a bit away from producing sound with his punches. As a result, His movements became faster and the force in his hands grew stronger. But that little bit remained elusive, like an unattainable chasm. He brought up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 1.86] [Agility: 1.59] [Constitution: 2.08] [Skill Points: 1.75] All three attributes had increased by 0.15. The constitution attribute had sessfully crossed the two-point threshold. Chen Sheng closed his eyes and carefully felt his body. Having twice the constitution of an average person made him feel exceptional at this moment. His spent strength gradually recovered with each inhale and exhale. The recovery speed was noticeably faster than yesterday. This feeling of growing stronger every day was enthralling to Chen Sheng. Unfortunately¡ Chen Sheng opened his eyes and looked at his fists. A hint of regret shed in his eyes. He still hadn¡¯t reached the Light Energy Level of ¡®producing sound with a punch.¡¯ ording to Shi Jian, One could only produce sound with a punch if their physical strength was sufficient and they could mobilize the muscles throughout their body to exert force in an instant. The force requirement had already been met by Chen Sheng after upgrading the Five Elements Fist. Now, all that restricted him was his physical strength. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t too far off. In the past two days, the Light Energy martial artist Chen Sheng had the most contact with was Shi Jian. If Chen Sheng were to convert Shi Jian¡¯s strength into attribute points, he estimated it would be between 2.6 and 2.7. As an Eighth-Rank Light Energy martial artist, Shi Jian was only one step away from An Jin. Entering the Light Energy realm certainly wouldn¡¯t require such high strength. ording to Chen Sheng¡¯s estimates, He only needed his strength to surpass the two-point threshold. Then, he would be able to¡ produce sound with a punch! Now, his strength attribute had reached 1.86. After much consideration, Ultimately, Under the temptation of bing a Light Energy martial artist, Chen Sheng decided to stay up a littlete tonight to raise his strength attribute to two points. He sat on the balcony, nning to start his basic training as soon as his strength recovered. It was at that moment, ¡°Brother Chen!¡± A call came from downstairs. Chen Sheng looked over. Xu Ziwen had returned from cleaning the deserted graves and was standing downstairs, waving at him with cleaning tools in hand. His face was covered in dust, yet his smile shone brightly. Is he really so diligent in cleaning the graves? Doubt shed through Chen Sheng¡¯s mind. Nevertheless, he instinctively responded politely. ¡°Teacher Xu, you don¡¯t seem tired from sweeping the graves every day.¡± In the past few days, they had met several times, and Xu Ziwen had also delivered snacks in the afternoon. Chen Sheng¡¯s conversation was much less formal than before. ¡°You don¡¯t know how many deserted graves are there¡± ¡°For every known pair, there¡¯s an unknown pile.¡± ¡°Anyway, I have nothing better to do, so I¡¯m just doing a little more.¡± Xu Ziwen exined with a smile. In response, Chen Sheng could only show a look of admiration. He had a rough idea of the situation there. When he was a child, he and his friends from Wutong Vige would often explore the deserted graves. So many years had passed, and there must be even more graves by now. ¡°Take a break asionally, don¡¯t tire yourself out.¡±action After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xu Ziwen headed toward the wooden house. Chen Sheng closed his eyes, prepared to focus on recovering his strength. Chapter 32 32 Chapter 32: Breakthrough and Fist Fight Trantor: 549690339 Half an hourter. Chen Sheng, who had regained his physical strength, started putting on his weighted gear. After a whole day of training, his attributes had significantly grownpared to before. The 30kg of weight was clearly no longer sufficient for his needs. Chen Sheng immediately added two steel bars to his weighted vest. With a total weight of 40kg, Chen Sheng felt stable. [Strength: 1.86] He was still 0.14 away from breaking through the 2-point threshold. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Chen Sheng rubbed his palms and went to the balcony, starting his basic training exercises directly. Push-ups, squats, and sit-ups. Afterpleting each exercise, Chen Sheng felt his muscr strength gradually growing stronger and worked extra hard. One hourter. Strength increased by 0.11. He was still 0.03 away from breaking through the 2-point threshold. The other two attributes each increased by 0.02 Chen Shengy on the balcony, gasping for air while waiting for his physical strength to recover. It was already past ten o¡¯clock at night. If it had been a normal day, Chen Sheng would have showered and prepared for bed by now. But today, he was determined to see if he could make a sound when throwing a punch with his 2-point strength. Twenty minutester. Chen Sheng¡¯s physical strength had mostly recovered, but the soreness in his muscles had notpletely disappeared. Fortunately, the increase in strength attribute could alleviate muscle fatigue, so he could still continue exercising. Hey down once again, starting to do push-ups. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t close the panel, but instead watched the changes on it during his exercises. Five minutester. 1.98 Ten minutester. 1.99 Just a bit more! Bulging veins appeared on the surface of his skin, Chen Sheng¡¯s arm muscles swelled, and his expression seemed somewhat ferocious. He clenched his teeth, his body quickly rising and falling with each push-up. In the end, [Strength: 2] ¡°Done!¡± Chen Sheng smiled, and saw that with a sudden push from both arms, he leaped up from the ground. Swish! Chen Sheng tried to punch, his fist cut through the air, making a distinct breaking air sound. But this, was clearly not enough to be called a ¡®sound.¡¯ However, Chen Sheng was not in a hurry. In order to make a sound with his punches, he had to let his body be familiar with the power exertion methods. Just relying on arm muscle strength alone was far from enough. Chen Sheng closed his eyes. After taking several deep breaths, he assumed the Three-Body Technique posture and slowly practiced the Xingyi Five Elements Fist. Chop, crash, drill, cannon, horizontal. He executed each move smoothly, like flowing water. With his eyes closed, Chen Sheng felt the changes in his body muscles. Suddenly, the speed of his practice gradually increased. Swish! Swish! Swish! His fists cut through the air one after another. Sweat seeped out from Chen Sheng¡¯s forehead. Almost there. Just a little more. He could feel it, just a tiny bit more. Swish! Swish! Swish! His moves became faster and faster, Chen Sheng¡¯s fists disappeared, leaving only afterimages in the air. The sound grew louder, almost blending together. Until finally, Pop! The sudden exploding sound broke the silence of the night. People sleeping were awakened by the sudden explosion. Dog barks and swearing followed. But listening to the continuous cursing, Chen Sheng quickly shrank his head and ran into the house at the fastest speed to avoid being discovered as the disturber of the peace. Entering the living room, ¡°Ha!¡± Chen Sheng looked at his fist, his face full of exhration. Punching with a sound! He had finally done it. It seemed like there was still some lingering excitement. Chen Sheng closed the balcony door and started punching in the living room again. With the experience from the first time, he became more and more familiar with the mobilization of his muscles. Pop! At first, It would still take two or three rounds of practice for Five Elements Fist to make a sound reluctantly. Pa! Pa! Later on, every round could produce a sound. One hourter. Pa! Pa! Pa! Chen Sheng¡¯s sweat dripped like rain, his face filled with ecstasy. He was still practicing his fists. But now, Every move made an ongoing explosion of sound. The whole living room seemed like it was setting off firecrackers. ¡°Hu¡ª¡ª¡± Chen Sheng took a deep breath. Only when he reached this level did he stop his actions and stagger towards the sofa. Bang! His body plunged headfirst into the sofa. As he suddenly rxed, Chen Sheng almost moaned with pleasure due to excessive soreness andfort. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 2] [Agility: 1.62] [Constitution: 2.12] [Three-body Stance Level 2: 40/5000] [Xingyi Five Elements Fist Level 1: 50/2000] [Skill Points: 1.96] This was Chen Sheng¡¯s current attribute. Just an hour of practicing his fists had increased his agility by 0.01 and his physical attribute by 0.02 For him now, it¡¯s better than nothing. And now, he had enough skill points to upgrade his Five Elements Fist. However, Before his strength could produce An Jin, he had no ns to upgrade. Although after upgrading his Five Elements Fist, Chen Sheng would be able to learn the way of emitting An Jin. But the foundation of martial arts is having a strong enough physique to support it. Chen Sheng¡¯s current muscr strength had only barely reached Light Energy, so there was no need to rush to upgrade. It was the Three-body Stance, After upgrading to Level 2, its requirement for proficiency had increased significantly. Chen Sheng was quite curious of the changes in the next level. Therefore, He decided to hold the Five Elements Fist upgrade, and wait until he had enough skill points to upgrade the Three-body Technique. By that time, His training effects were bound to see another increase. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng, feeling his body had recovered some, got up from the sofa and took off the weighted gear. He didn¡¯t take a bath right away, but went to the kitchen to get some instant food he had bought. His previous workout had depleted most of his energy. He was now so hungry he could almost eat the table. After a quick meal, Chen Sheng went to the bathroom to take a bath. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng fell fast asleep on the bed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C The next day, Morning, Chen Sheng opened his eyes. Yesterday, he had slept heavily due to extreme fatigue, and now he felt refreshed after waking up. Getting up from the bed, Chen Sheng stretchedzily. The crackling sounds from all over his body were veryforting. He went to the kitchen and found that the ingredients he bought two days ago were almost gone. So after washing up, Chen Sheng went to the vegetable market again to buy groceries and had breakfast along the way. After returning home, and cing the groceries, Chen Sheng put on the 40kg weight again. He went straight to the direction of the Martial Arts Hall as soon as he left his house. As his current attributes grewrger, the improvement that Chen Sheng gained from training every day increased ordingly. Yesterday, he was barely able to run 13 kilometers with 30kg weight, but today, He stopped to rest after running 15 kilometers with 40kg weight. Only five kilometers away from the Martial Arts Hall, he gave up on calling for a moto-taxi. He walked slowly, recovering his stamina while moving towards the Martial Arts Hall. When he arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, Chen Sheng looked at the panel. Today¡¯s morning run had raised his constitution by 0.09 and his other two attributes by 0.02. He was very satisfied with this. After checking his gains and looking at the time, Chen Sheng directly entered the Martial Arts Hall. He was a littlete today because he had to buy groceries. ¡°Brother Chen, why are you justing now?¡± Upon arriving at the practice area, Shi Jian, who was practicing, stopped and greeted him. ¡°Hi, Brother Chen!¡± ¡°Good morning, Brother Chen!¡± ¡°Brother Chen looks even more handsome today!¡± Several disciples of the Martial Arts Hall who had received guidance from Chen Sheng yesterday greeted him warmly. Chen Sheng nodded in response and went to Shi Jian¡¯s side.action ¡°I was swallowing purple energy this morning and had a little breakthrough,¡± ¡°so I came a littlete.¡± Chapter 33 - 33: People Don’t Pretend in Vain Youth Chapter 33: People Don¡¯t Pretend in Vain Youth Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Ah, right, right, right.¡± ¡°With my Brother Chen¡¯s strength, it¡¯ll probably take at most two days to reach Light Energy, right?¡± Shi Jian ttered overly, fearing that others would not know how reluctant he was to say this. After two days of getting along, the two had be extremely familiar with each other and didn¡¯t mind joking around a bit. It was well known in the Martial Arts Hall that Chen Sheng had exceptional martial arts talent. Simrly, they also knew that Chen Sheng¡¯s Qi Sense Talent was extremely poor, and his physical fitness was not much better than that of ordinary people. It was precisely because of this, that only Shi Jian and a few disciples with extremely poor martial arts skills were willing to chat with Chen Sheng in the Martial Arts Hall. ¡°It won¡¯t take that long.¡± ¡°I have already reached Light Energy.¡± Chen Sheng said naturally in the face of Shi Jian¡¯s teasing. ¡°Ah, right, right, right.¡± Shi Jian naturally didn¡¯t believe it, and still had a provocative expression. Chen Sheng was immediately amused by this. ¡°Should we have a go?¡± He beckoned to Shi Jian with his finger. Then he took off his weighted gear and threw it onto the floor next to him. There was a loud nging sound. Steel bars and wooden floor collided, making a loud noise. Apanied by the sound of the weighted gear falling to the ground, Shi Jian¡¯s eyelids twitched. This sound¡ seems to be louder than yesterday¡¯s? Looking again at the inexplicable smile on Chen Sheng¡¯s face, He had a bad feeling. But soon, Shi Jian shook his head and instantly adjusted his mindset. No matter how gifted Brother Chen was, he still hadn¡¯t reached Light Energy. He was the mighty peak of Light Energy. What was there to be afraid of?! Thinking of this, Shi Jian stared and stuck out his chest, meeting Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze. ¡°Bring it on!¡± Having said that, Shi Jian stood opposite Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ll go easy on you.¡± He chuckled. ¡°Haha, you better.¡± Chen Sheng smiled coldly. The two saluted each other with fists. mele 1nne?: Shi Jian shouted loudly, making the first move. He didn¡¯t go full out, but kept his physical fitness at a level simr to ordinary people. Therefore, there was no need for modesty. Shi Jian took a step forward, quickly closing in on Chen Sheng. His right arm turned into a ck thread, carrying an overwhelming momentum, sting towards Chen Sheng¡¯s chest. Chen Sheng was unhurried, using a Splitting Fist to block Shi Jian¡¯s attack. He also didn¡¯t go all out, nning tounch a sudden attackter to catch Shi Jian off guard. If not, he was just ying dirty. At this point, Shi Jian, whose punch was blocked, immediately changed his move. Retreated his right hand to his waist, stepped out with his left foot. Bashing fists and cannon fists! In an instant, Shi Jian¡¯s left arm, like a cannonball fired from a cannon, shot at Chen Sheng. If this hit, Chen Sheng would probably have to lie on the ground and rest for a while. But Chen Sheng was not sparring for the first time, coupled with his dynamic visual acuity, no matter how Shi Jian changed his moves, he was able to release the breaking fist at the first moment, calmly. The two of them went back and forth, breaking and resolving, and had a lot of fun. One minuteter, Bang! Chen Sheng changed his move midway, a Cannon Fist rushed towards Shi Jian¡¯s face. Shi Jian could not break it in time and could only raise his hand to defend. The fist hit the arm and shook, causing Shi Jian¡¯s arm to go numb. ¡°Nice!¡± p, p, p. The few Martial Arts Hall disciples who were watching from the side were excited and apuded. Usually, everyone practiced on their own, and the sparring between the direct disciples was just one-sided beating. Such an excitingpetition was really rare to see. However, ¡°Are you here to watch a show?!¡± ¡°Get off and practice!¡± A nce from Shi Jian instantly extinguished the cheering. The few Martial Arts Hall disciples shrank their heads and began to practice in a perfunctory manner. But their eyes kept sneaking nces at the two of them here. Turning around, Shi Jian shook his somewhat numb arm. ¡°Little Shi, you¡¯re not doing too well.¡± Chen Sheng stood in ce, chuckled and said. After improving his physical strength, and with the added benefits of his agility attribute, such an intense sparring session didn¡¯t put too much pressure on Chen Sheng. So, he decided to provoke Shi Jian. Sure enough¡ Shi Jian, being young and enthusiastic, took the bait immediately. He quickly abandoned his yful attitude. After all, he had been training in the Xingyi Association for several years, and had just sessfully awakened as a Qi-sensor during the Tide Rising Period. If he ended up being continuously pushed around by Chen Sheng, it would be a great loss of face. ¡°Brother Chen, I must apologize in advance,¡± Shi Jian said earnestly. ¡°From now on, I won¡¯t hold back any longer.¡± As soon as the words fell¡ Whoosh! Shi Jian¡¯s body shot out, instantly appearing in front of Chen Sheng. A st of wind hit him full on in the face. ¡°You little punk, no respect for martial arts!¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils contracted, and he was only able to raise his hand to block! ¡°This is the real world, Brother Chen, you¡¯re too young!¡± Bang! Their fists and elbows met. Several disciples who were watching couldn¡¯t help but close their eyes, not daring to watch Chen Sheng being tragically thrown about. However , They didn¡¯t hear any movement for a long time. When they opened their eyes, Chen Sheng surprisingly hadn¡¯t moved half a step back. How is this possible?! Shi Jian¡¯s face showed utter disbelief. He had used a force close to that of a Light Energy Warrior. Yet, Chen Sheng was unaffected. Immersed in shock, Shi Jian momentarily forgot to continue his attack. But Chen Sheng was not going to foolishly wait for him toe back to his senses. He quickly moved and delivered a Bashing Fist to Shi Jian¡¯s abdomen. In his panicked state, Shi Jian, who just snapped back, could only block again. Before long, The two of them were again in the throes of a back-and-forth contest. But what was noticeably different was, Chen Sheng was throwing punches one after another, each faster and stronger than thest. In just a few short minutes, Shi Jian was under the illusion that Chen Sheng was on par with him in strength. He was forced to ramp up his power, attempting to overpower his adversary with brute strength. But soon, Chen Sheng once again caught Shi Jian off guard andnded a punch straight to his chest. Caught off-guard, Shi Jian calmly raised his hand to block again! He was confident enough that even if he took the punch head-on, at most his arm would go numb, with no major consequences to him. But that wasn¡¯t the case with Chen Sheng. If he managed tond a hit on Shijian, he could drive him back step by step, until he defeated him! However, At the moment Shi Jian was calcting his next move, He suddenly saw a smirk on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Something¡¯s not right! There¡¯s a plot! The next second, p! The unexpected loud noise drowned out the hustle and bustle of the Martial Arts Practice Field. Boom! Chen Sheng¡¯s punch hit Shi Jian¡¯s forearm squarely. Thump, thump, thump. Shi Jian had no idea that Chen Sheng would suddenly punch with the force of a Light Energy Warrior. Caught off guard, his body lost bnce and he staggered back three steps. ¡°Little Shi. ¡± ¡°This is the real adult world.¡± Chen Sheng slowly withdrew his posture and grinned. But he received no response. The entire Martial Arts Practice Field, Waspletely silent. All eyes, Were focused on Chen Sheng. What just happened? Did Chen Sheng, who just arrived at the Martial Arts Hall two days ago and whose Qi Sense Talent is unusually poor, just punch with the Light Energy? Did I hear wrong? Or have I been training so much that I¡¯m hearing things? Questions like these, Hovered in the hearts of everyone present at the Martial Arts Practice Field. Shi Jian, who was involved in the matter, stood there staring nkly at Chen Sheng,pletely frozen. His current state, made Chen Sheng, who had initially just nned to scare Shi Jian, feel somewhat embarrassed. He thickened his skin and walked over to Shi Jian, ignoring the looks from those around him as if he was a ghost, and snapped his fingers. ¡°Wake up.¡± ¡°Stop standing there stupefied..¡± Chapter 34 - 34: Request and Mad Woman Chapter 34: Request and Mad Woman Trantor: 549690339 With a snap of his fingers, Shi Jian sessfully snapped out of it. His eyes shifted,nding on Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, you- -¡± But at this moment, On the Practice Martial Field, the frozen disciples gradually started to move again. The next second, Whoosh! One stone stirred up a thousand waves. ¡°Holy shit! ! ¡± ¡°What the hell is going on with you, Brother Chen?!¡± ¡°Did you hear what I just heard? ¡± ¡°What did you hear? I think I must have been hallucinating.¡± The disciples who had previously been instructed by Chen Sheng all gathered around, bombarding him with questions. Even those who didn¡¯t know Chen Sheng were whispering to each other, their faces full of disbelief. If it were just a Light Energy Warrior, this would not have happened. After all, More than half of the disciples on the Practice Martial Field were Light Energy Warriors. The reason why they had such a big reaction, Was because this Light Energy Warrior was Chen Sheng. It was Chen Sheng, who had just joined the Martial Arts Hall a few days ago, and whose constitution was not much better than that of an ordinary person, as verified by the Grand Master. Therefore, There are now only two possibilities. Either Chen Sheng and the Grand Master were putting on a show, Or, Chen Sheng¡¯s talents in both martial arts and Qi-sensing were equally impressive, but he just hadn¡¯t revealed them before. No one thought that Li Xingwu would be that bored. So there was only the second possibility left. As soon as everyone understood this, Those who weren¡¯t originally nning on getting involved with Chen Sheng now looked at him with more interest. Anyone who could make such progress during the initial days of their metamorphosing stage, As far as they knew, there were only the Direct Disciples, Guo Yang and Li Qian. Guo Yang was even stronger than Chen Sheng, as he stepped directly from An Jin to Transforming Power the day after awakening, and his constitution was even more formidable. Li Qian¡¯s progress was simr to Chen Sheng¡¯s, both having their constitutions go from ordinary people to a point where they can easily defeat Light Energy Warriors in just three or four days. But her martial arts talent wasn¡¯t as monstrous as Chen Sheng¡¯s. As for Wu Ran, Everyone chose to selectively ignore him. On his second day of joining the Martial Arts Hall, he was already able to crush most of the disciples just by his physical strength. As for his current strength, probably only Li Xingwu and the other two Direct Disciples knew. This kind of monster was simply not something humans couldpare to. But even so, To the disciples, with Chen Sheng¡¯s Qi-sensing and martial arts talents, bing a Direct Disciple was all but guaranteed. It was best to build a good rtionship with him early while it was still nn?ihle Later, when it came to sparring or asking him for advice, it would be easier. Otherwise, once Chen Sheng entered the Inner Courtyard, it would be toote for them to get close. With this thought in mind, Many disciples gathered around Chen Sheng, wanting to get to know him. And so, The people Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t been able to recognize in his two days at the Martial Arts Hall, Were all recognized in just 10 minutes after he became a Light Energy Warrior. It made him quite emotional. ¡°Brother Chen, it seems like we¡¯re going to see less of each other in the future.¡± After the crowd dispersed, Shi Jian came to Chen Sheng with a mournful face. ¡°When you be a Direct Disciple, don¡¯t forget Little Shi.¡± ¡°You must remember those years when we were close friends, huddling together, treating each other with respect¨C¡± Smack! Shi Jian¡¯s words were interrupted by a blow to the back of the head. ¡°Get lost! ¡± Chen Sheng scolded with a smile. He couldn¡¯t let Shi Jian continue; it would just skew the picture. ¡°It¡¯s not up to you whether I be a Direct Disciple or not.¡± ¡°Shall we practice?¡± Chen Sheng invited Shi Jian to spar. Shi Jian epted. The two immediately began an intense sparring session. Two hourster. Seeing that the sparring time with the Direct Disciples was about to arrive, the two stopped. Chen Sheng looked at the panel. Two hours of sparring had raised his agility attribute by 0.09, and his other two attributes each increased by 0.02. Now that Chen Sheng¡¯s strength was revealed, Shi Jian didn¡¯t have to hold back too much during the sparring. Therefore, The improvement in attributes was significantly different from the day before. After a brief rest, The door at the depth of the Practice Martial Field opened. Li Xingwu, leading the way, walked towards the tea table with his hands behind his back. However, today, There was an extra figure behind him. Chen Sheng¡¯s face lit up. It was his master, Li Chenghu. As soon as Li Chenghu entered, his gaze swept over the disciples present. In the end, it fell upon Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng waved his hand. Li Chenghu nodded with a smile. Soon, Li Xingwu sat down at the tea table. The disciples gathered around. ¡°Li Qian¡¡± Ran¡¡± ¡°Guo Yang¡ Chen Sheng¡¡± There was not much difference from the previous two days. Li Xingwu allocated sparring partners as usual. Li Chenghu, who was originally standing idly by, suddenly heard his disciple¡¯s name. He immediately looked at Chen Sheng, surprise shing in his eyes. This disciple, Could already spar after just two days. It was indeed another delightful surprise for him. After all, Practicing Xingyi Five Elements Fist was much more difficult than Three -Body Technique. Li Chenghu discreetly gave Chen Sheng a thumbs up, affirming him. After Li Xingwu finished allocating partners, the disciples dispersed. The three Direct Disciples prepared to head to their respective training grounds. But Chen Sheng remained where he stood. The other disciples naturally knew what he was up to, but no one said anything, simply watching silently. As expected, From today on, Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t be practicing with them on the Practice Martial Field anymore. ¡°Do you need something?¡± Li Xingwu was ready to drink tea, but saw Chen Sheng still standing. ¡°Grand Master, I want to be a Direct Disciple.¡± Chen Sheng saluted with a fist. As soon as these words were spoken. Li Xingwu¡¯s hand, holding the tea cup, immediately froze. Even the three Direct Disciples who were about to leave stopped and looked at Chen Sheng. ¡°What did you say?¡± Li Xingwu furrowed his brows as he spoke. Though he was addressing Chen Sheng, His eyes were ring at Li Chenghu. Obviously, Li Xingwu believed Chen Sheng¡¯s actions were mostly due to Li Chenghu¡¯s instructions. But Li Chenghu was just as clueless, only shrugging his shoulders to indicate that he had no knowledge of it. He didn¡¯t expect Chen Sheng to suddenly say something like this. To be a Direct Disciple, one must excel in both martial arts and Qi-Sense Talent. Chen Sheng¡¯s Qi-Sense Talent wascking, so why would he suddenly say this? Could it be¡ he wanted to take advantage of his presence to plead for him? However, This thought barely appeared before Li Chenghu quickly dismissed it. Although he hadn¡¯t known Chen Sheng for long, and his behavior was sometimes erratic, He didn¡¯t believe Chen Sheng would be that cunning. With that in mind, Li Chenghu focused on Chen Sheng, waiting silently for what he had to say next. ¡°You¡¯re worthy Chen Sheng looked up. The speaker was Li Qian, her face filled with undisguised disgust. She had always believed there was no need for ordinary disciples from the Martial Arts Hall to exist. With their talent levels, even if they practiced martial arts for a long time, any slightly stronger Qi-sensor could beat them to death. Moreover, they wasted her time every day; it would be better to simply get rid of them all, out of sight out of mind. Chen Sheng¡¯s nce at her yesterday had already made her unhappy. If Li Xingwu hadn¡¯t stopped her, she would have even tried to teach Chen Sheng a lesson. But now, Even a worthless person like this dared to say he wanted to be a Direct Disciple, to share resources and be on the same footing as her? Thinking of this, Li Qian felt even more disgusted, Her gaze at Chen Sheng turning even colder. ¡°What are you? ¡°You¡¯re worthy of being a Direct Disciple?!¡± As soon as the words fell, Whoosh! Li Qian abruptly shot towards Chen Sheng like an arrow off the string. Her expression was ferocious, her palm raised, and violently pped towards Chen Sheng¡¯s face.. Chapter 35 - 35: Deception and Being Framed Chapter 35: Deception and Being Framed Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Xiao Qian, what are you doing?!¡± Li Chenghu never expected Li Qian to suddenly attack, and immediately reached out to grab her. But it happened so suddenly that he couldn¡¯t stop it in time. As for Li Xingwu and the other two direct disciples. For some reason, their eyes were downcast, and they had no intention of intervening. Faced with such a situation, Chen Sheng naturally wouldn¡¯t just wait to be hit. Seeing that there was no time to dodge, he could only raise his arms. p! The palm struck his arm, and a tremendous force instantly swept through his entire body. Chen Sheng¡¯s half-body went numb, and he wavered, about to fall. ¡°You dare to block?!¡± Before Chen Sheng could recover, Li Qian¡¯s sharp voice sounded in his ears. What followed was a whistling sound as the air was torn apart. Li Qian¡¯s fist rushed straight towards Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Damn it! If they held back now, it would only get worse, and backing off would only make them angrier. Seeing that the other party wouldn¡¯t let go, Chen Sheng¡¯s temper came up as well. A trace of anger shed in his eyes. Li Qian¡¯s attack was hard to defend against. But it was better to trade damage for damage. He couldn¡¯t let the other party off easily while taking a hit himself. With that in mind, Stomp! Chen Sheng clenched his teeth, and his right foot stomped heavily on the ground, stabilizing his about-to-fall body. His muscles throughout his body were mobilized in an instant. The force converged into a single line and poured out through his arm, Cannon Fist! His fist, like a cannonball leaving the muzzle, also struck towards Li Qian¡¯s face. p! The fist pierced the air, causing an explosive noise. Neither Li Qian nor Chen Sheng had any intention of stopping. ¡°Enough!¡± Just then, Li Xingwu¡¯s voice finally sounded. In just a split second, he appeared beside the two and gripped their arms at the same time. The fierce attack of the pair was instantly restrained under Li Xingwu¡¯s skinny palm. ¡°Grandfather!¡± Li Qian struggled to break free from Li Xingwu¡¯s control. But his hand was like an iron hoop mped onto her wrist, and she couldn¡¯t get free no matter how hard she tried. ¡°With so few resources on our side, if he¨C¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Li Qian¡¯s words were abruptly cut off by Li Xingwu. ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking!¡± ¡°Get back!¡± Li Xingwu red at her. As his words fell, Li Qian remained defiant. But she didn¡¯t dare disobey Li Xingwu¡¯s words. She silently returned to her position, but her malicious gaze never left Chen Sheng. As soon as Li Qian stood still, Guo Yang approached her and quietly held up a thumbs-up. ¡°Junior sister, well done.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if Master really intends to take on another direct discipleter, Senior Brother will think of a solution.¡± Throughout the conversation, Guo Yang always maintained a gentle smile. At these words, Li Qian snorted coldly and didn¡¯t say much else. As for the small actions of the two direct disciples behind him, Li Xingwu didn¡¯t care. He looked at Chen Sheng with furrowed brows and felt a little confused. Just two days ago, he had examined Chen Sheng¡¯s constitution. It was just slightly better than an ordinary person¡¯s. Why has he suddenly be a Light Energy Warrior in just two days? It should be known that the first few days after a Qi-sensor awakens are the rapid transformation period for the body. After that, the rate of physical enhancement slows down and requires continuous development. In the case of Chen Sheng, Li Xingwu had never heard of it. He reached out and examined Chen Sheng¡¯s constitution all over his body. But the more he checked, the darker Li Xingwu¡¯s expression became. ¡°Speak up, Li Chenghu.¡± When he spoke again, it wasn¡¯t directed at Chen Sheng. Instead, he looked at Li Chenghu. ¡°How much spirit medicine did you give your disciple to make him a Light Energy Warrior in such a short period of time?¡± Li Chenghu was extremely dissatisfied with Li Qian¡¯s actions and was about to go forward to warn her when he suddenly heard Li Xingwu talking to him. Huh? A look of confusion appeared on his face, and he unconsciously let out an exmation. Spirit medicine refers to herbs that mutate aftering into contact with Qi during the tide rising period. After these herbs mutate, their medicinal effects can be upgraded several times, but their number is very scarce. They are usually managed and distributed by the national Martial Arts Association, and it is difficult for private individuals to possess them. Li Chenghu¡¯s team could only get a very small amount of spirit medicine every month, which was not enough to distribute to teammates, let alone share with Chen Sheng. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m easy to deceive?¡± Whoosh! Li Xingwu quickly reached out and grabbed Chen Sheng¡¯s wrist. He used great strength. Feeling the intense pain in his wrist, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows. ¡°Come!¡± ¡°Youe and see for yourself the constitution and roots of your good disciple!¡± ¡°Absolutely crude!¡± ¡°How could he reach light energy in such a short time without your spirit medicine?¡± ¡°I¡¯m old, but I¡¯m not confused.¡± After saying that, Li Xingwu snorted coldly and directly released Chen Sheng¡¯s hand. He sat back down on the chair. ¡°You master and disciple are good at ying games.¡± ¡°Onees to ask me to send someone to teach.¡± ¡°The other runs over and says he wants to be a direct disciple.¡± ¡°By the time I teach him the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, you¡¯ll have him guide the others.¡± ¡°In this way, you¡¯ll be able to bring the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound to the Wu¡¯an Bureau, right?¡± In the meantime, The cold gaze kept circling between Li Chenghu and Chen Sheng. ¡°Let me tell vou. it¡¯s a delusion.¡± ¡°Now, both of you get out of here!¡± Bang! As Li Xingwu spoke more excitedly, he pped the tea table beside him. The tea table instantly fell apart and turned into debris scattered on the ground. Li Xingwu¡¯s chest rose and fell, seemingly quite angry. ¡°Master, don¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°You know senior brother Li¡¯s character; he might have just been deceived.¡± Guo Yang watched the scene before him and spoke again, ying the role of peacemaker. However, While saying that Li Chenghu might have been deceived, his eyes had been lingering on Chen Sheng all along. The meaning in his eyes couldn¡¯t be any clearer. ¡°Dad, how could 1¡ª¡± Li Chenghu didn¡¯t expect things to turn out like this, One moment ago, he was still delighted about Chen Sheng breaking through light energy and bing a direct disciple soon. The next moment, he suddenly became an unfilial son, joining forces with Chen Sheng to deceive Li Xingwu. Li Chenghu immediately wanted to exin himself. ¡°Get out!!!!!¡± But Li Xingwu¡¯s shout drowned out his voice. His face flushed red, and he kept panting heavily with his hand on his chest. It was obvious that he felt sick from the anger of being deceived by his son and an outsider. Guo Yang quickly stepped forward, patting Li Xingwu on the back while looking at Li Chenghu. ¡°Senior Brother Li, Master is not in good health. You shoulde back another day.¡± Having said that, he turned his gaze to Chen Sheng. ¡°As for you¡.¡± ¡°Do you want to leave on your own, or should I escort you out?¡± By the end, Guo Yang finally let go of his gentle demeanor and spoke with a cold, indifferent expression. By his side, Li Qian¡¯s fierce eyes were not concealed in the slightest. Although her previous arrogant appearance was just a pretense, Her disgust for Chen Sheng was genuine. She would love to personally kill anyone who tried to take her resources. As for Wu Ran, He just stood quietly, watching the farce before him, and couldn¡¯t help butugh silently. He was mocking Chen Sheng and Li Chenghu for resorting to deception just to obtain the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. Pathetic yetughable weaklings. That was thebel Wu Ran had ced on Chen Sheng. From beginning to end, Chen Sheng did not say a word. His gaze swept over several people present. Doubt, contempt, disgust, and disdain. All were present in their expressions. And these emotions were all because of a false usation that had somehow been ced on him. But he had no intention of exining himself. Because ne Knew mat, Once a misunderstanding has urred, blind exnations will only make himself appear of less worth and have no other effect. ¡°Thank you, Grand Master, for two days of guidance.¡± ¡°Goodbye.¡± Chen Sheng left behind a sentence. Then he walked straight towards the exit of the Martial Arts Hall. Li Chenghu looked at his still angry father, sighed helplessly, and also walked towards the outside with Chen Sheng.. Chapter 36 - 36: Shi Jian and the Invaluable Gratitude to His Teacher Chapter 36: Shi Jian and the Invaluable Gratitude to His Teacher Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng walked step by step towards the door. The gaze of the disciples from the martial arts hall fell on him, one after another. Pity, indifference, gloating, disgust, all kinds of emotions were present. The only thing missing was the eager look from that morning when Chen Sheng showed off his Light Energy prowess. Feeling all the emotions, Chen Sheng took a deep breath. He turned his head, looking for Shi Jian¡¯s figure. These two days in the martial arts hall, Shi Jian had given him a lot of guidance. At the very least, he ought to say goodbye before leaving. However, as Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze swept over the entire martial arts hall, he couldn¡¯t find Shi Jian. Where the hell did this guy go? Chen Sheng was puzzled, but decided not to dwell on it. He picked up the weighted gear from the ground. When he arrived in front of the martial arts hall, Chen Sheng pushed the door open and stepped out. ¡°Brother Chen, what took you so long?¡± As soon as he came out, A familiar shadow enveloped him from above. Chen Sheng looked up in surprise. It was Shi Jian. ¡°Stone, what the hell are you doing here?¡± ¡°What else could it be? I¡¯m leaving with you, of course.¡± Shi Jian said, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face. ¡°Our rtionship¡shouldn¡¯t have reached this point, right?¡± Chen Sheng was confused. ¡°Well, it¡¯s not all because of you, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s just go.¡± Shi Jian wrapped his arm around Chen Sheng, and together they walked away. As they walked, Shi Jian revealed the reason why he had decided to leave with him. ¡°Chen Sheng, you see, I¡¯ve always been pretty useless in everything, except for having a big physique that scares people.¡± ¡°I have a very straightforward temper as well. After I dropped out of school and started working, I often had conflicts with people.¡± ¡°I used to think my life was a waste.¡± ¡°But guess what? I found out that my martial arts talent is actually not that bad.¡± As he spoke, Shi Jian made a funny face. Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help butugh, and his unhappiness slowly dissipated. ¡°Then I joined the martial arts hall and hung out here for two or three years. Half a year ago, I naturally awakened as a Qi Sensor.¡± ¡°I thought that sooner orter I would be a direct disciple, and by then I could be personally instructed by the Grand Master himself and have better resources to do whatever I wanted.¡¯ ¡°But today, when I saw them ndering you, Brother Chen, I just thought it was boring.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really boring, actually.¡± ¡°So I just walked out while you guys were arguing and waited for you.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng gave him a surprised look. ¡°Howe you¡¯re so sure I was being ndered?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I am.¡± ¡°There you go.¡± Shi Jian grinned. ¡°Brother Chen, you just came here two days ago, so you might not know.¡± ¡°The Grand Master has a very bad temper, otherwise, who do you think Li Qian learned it from?¡± ¡°If you were really trying to steal the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique, as he said, he would¡¯ve pped you already.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng was momentarily startled. Then, An expression of realization shed across his face. So as it turns out, Li Xingwu was just pretending back then. Simply because he didn¡¯t want to ept Chen Sheng as his direct disciple. Now, why was that? Chen Sheng suddenly thought about the so-called ¡°resources¡± he had heard from others a few times. Neither Guo Yang nor Li Qian seemed to be worried about others bing direct disciples,peting for resources. It must be rted to these so-called resources. In Li Xingwu¡¯s eyes, Chen Sheng was indeed qualified to be a direct disciple, but he simply didn¡¯t want to ept him. So he found an excuse to drive Chen Sheng away. After a little thought, Chen Sheng roughly grasped Li Xingwu¡¯s intentions. People just didn¡¯t take him seriously. Wu Ran had a demonic talent. Guo Yang had been following Li Xingwu for ten years, considering each other as father and child. Li Qian was his niece. If he took in Chen Sheng, the resources allocated to these three would be even less. Better to find an excuse to drive Chen Sheng away. Upon realizing the reason, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit mncholic. As expected, no matter where there are people, there will always be such tedious matters. It¡¯s morefortable to cultivate on your own. Thinking this, Chen Sheng looked at Shi Jian again. ¡°Speaking of which, Stone, aren¡¯t you going to tell the Grand Master before you leave?¡± Upon hearing this, Shi Jian shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum. ¡°I¡¯ll send the Grand Master a WeChat messageter tonight and let him know, thene back tomorrow.¡± ¡°If I tell him now, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll hit me.¡± ¡°That works too.¡± Chen Sheng nodded. And so, the two of them left the martial arts hall and took out their phones to add each other on WeChat. ¡°Stone, what are your ns for the future?¡± After adding each other on WeChat, Chen Sheng asked. ¡°I¡¯ll see how it goes; I just don¡¯t want to stay in the martial arts hall anymore.¡± ¡°I might even take over my family¡¯s pig farm.¡± ¡°And when Brother Chen needs meat, I¡¯ll give you a discount.¡± Shi Jian grinned and gave a big thumbs up. Chen Sheng also smiled. Soon, the two went their separate ways. Putting the weighted gear back on, Chen Sheng began to warm up by the side of the road. His mood wasn¡¯t affected much. In his view, joining the martial arts hall was more about repaying Li Chenghu¡¯s kindness than having to cling to it desperately. With the panel, he could be strong enough just by training at home every day. The only difference was whether it would take longer or shorter. However , just as Chen Sheng was about to start running, a police car pulled in front of him. The window rolled down slowly. What came into view was a guilt-filled face of Li Chenghu. Li Chenghu naturally knew his father¡¯s intentionsclearly. That¡¯s precisely why, he felt extremely guilty. ¡°Ah Sheng, I¡¯m sor¡ª¡± ¡°Master, don¡¯t apologize, you did nothing wrong,¡± said Chen Sheng, waving his hand and interrupting him. ¡°Whether I¡¯m in the martial arts hall or not, you¡¯re still my master.¡± Chen Sheng always remembered Li Chenghu¡¯s help. What happened in the martial arts hall had nothing to do with Li Chenghu. He was very clear about that. Li Chenghu opened his mouth, he had so much to say, but didn¡¯t know where to start. In the end, he showed a smile. ¡°Alright.¡± After that, the two fell silent again. Although their rtionship was not affected just now, for a moment, there was still an inexplicable embarrassment in interacting with each other. ¡°I¡¯m off.¡± ¡°If you need any help, remember to contact me.¡± In the end, It was Li Chenghu who spoke first. ¡°Yes, master.¡± Chen Sheng responded with a smile. After that, Li Chenghu started the car and drove off again. Chen Sheng also prepared to start running. ¡°Wait!¡± But at this moment, shouting resounded from behind. Chen Sheng turned his head, and saw a ck stic bag flying towards him. He caught it and took a look, inside was the vitality soup herbs. By the looks of it, there were even more than what he gotst time. There were ten shares in total. ¡°I knew you wouldn¡¯t ask me for more once you¡¯ve finished the previous batch,¡± said Li Chenghu, poking his head out of the car window and smiling. ¡°So, I bought some more for you.¡± Then, he started the car again, not giving Chen Sheng the chance to decline. Chen Sheng looked at the herbs in his hand, then at the police car driving away. Chen Sheng was silent for a while, quietly remembering this kindness in his heart. Then, he took a stride and ran towards the gym, ready to begin his afternoon training. At the Xingwu Gym, in the inner courtyard. Li Xingwu was lying on a rocking chair, watching his three direct disciples practice while sipping tea. So leisurely, there was no sign of anxiety. ¡°Master, is everything really alright with Senior Brother Li?¡± Guo Yang had been with Li Xingwu for ten years, he naturally knew of Li Xingwu¡¯s n, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have threatened Chen Sheng previously. But he was still worried about the father- son rtionship being affected by Chen Sheng, an outsider. ¡°This isn¡¯t something you need to worry about,¡± said Li Xingwu, waving his hand, looking as if out of sight, out of mind. ¡°He¡¯s just a mediocrity, but he treats him like treasure.¡± ¡°In the future, he¡¯ll understand.¡± Li Xingwu sneered. Then, he sat up and his gaze swept over each of his three direct disciples. ¡°The Martial Arts Conference is about to begin.¡± ¡°As long as you perform well, our martial arts hall¡¯s monthly share of spirit medicine will greatly increase.¡± ¡°All you need to do during this time is concentrate on practicing!¡± ¡°As for other matters, you don¡¯t have to worry about them.¡± Li Xingwu was speaking to all three, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Ran the entire time. Li Xingwu¡¯s eyes lit up more and more as he looked at Wu Ran. Now he was at the hidden energy level, his strength wasparable to third-stage transforming strength martial artists. With Wu Ran, the Martial Arts Conference would undoubtedly bring great reputation to the Xingwu Gym. This talented disciple, was his hope. Besides that, nothing else mattered.. Chapter 37 - 37: Mandarin Oranges and True Identity Chapter 37: Mandarin Oranges and True Identity Trantor: 549690339 In the afternoon, Chen Sheng walked in with herbs in his left hand and some health products in his right hand. A few days ago, Xu Ziwen had given him quite a few things, and Chen Sheng had been thinking of returning the favor. As it happened, he passed a pharmacy today and thought that since Xu Ziwen had sses during the day, remedial lessons in the afternoon, and still had to visit graves at night, he bought some health products for Xu Ziwen to nourish her body. Walking, Chen Sheng called up his panel. After this afternoon¡¯s training, his attributes had grown once again. Strength increased by 0.12 Agility increased by 0.6 Physical Attribute increased the most, a full 0.24 Chen Sheng estimated that to break through An Jin, he needed to reach a Strength and Constitution of 3. At this rate, he would be able to smoothly break through An Jin in at most two days. With these thoughts in mind, Chen Sheng¡¯s mood suddenly improved quite a bit. Arriving at the entrance of his home, he was about to give Xu Ziwen the health products when he saw a basket of fruit at the entrance. Chen Sheng went over to investigate. It was a basket of mandarin oranges with a bit of mud on the skin, looking very fresh. There was also a note in the basket. [Brother Chen, I saw that you were not home, so I left the oranges at the entrance.] [I picked these today during a farming activity organized by the school. They are very sweet, so I wanted to share them with you.] A smiley face was drawn underneath the message. The signature was from Xu Ziwen. Chen Sheng scratched his head. This Teacher Xu really is¡ During his work, he had seen too many indifferent people. People like Xu Ziwen were really rare. But since she had sent them, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t refuse. He looked at Xu Ziwen¡¯s wooden house. She didn¡¯t seem to be at home, probably not back from school yet. Just as Chen Sheng was about to go home and visit herter in the evening, He suddenly pricked up his ears. A faint sound came from inside Xu Ziwen¡¯s house. The sound was very slight. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Sheng¡¯s high Agility Attribute, he might not have heard it. Could Xu Ziwen be at home? Looking at the closed door, Chen Sheng showed a hint of doubt. He brought the health products to the door of the wooden house. Knock knock. ¡°Teacher Xu, are you home?¡± ¡°I bought you some things.¡± No response. Chen Sheng listened carefully. This time, he didn¡¯t hear any sound. ¡°Could it be a mouse?¡± Chen Sheng muttered. With that thought, he knocked on the door a few more times. After confirming that no one was home, Chen Sheng could only return to his own house first. Bang! Taking off his weighted gear, Chen Sheng instantly felt a wave of rxation. He picked up an orange and began to peel it. Tossing a segment into his mouth, he gently bit it. The sweet juice immediately sshed in his mouth. ¡°It really is sweet.¡± In just five minutes, Chen Sheng had peeled three oranges. Afterwards, he took out a bag of herbs, threw them into the pot, and took a shower to be ready for a nap shortly after. The sun gradually set, and the sky grew darker. When Chen Sheng woke up to the sound of a phone ringing, the room was pitch ck. Turning on the light, Chen Sheng got out of bed and walked towards the kitchen. One hourter, Having cleaned up dinner, Chen Sheng put on his weighted gear again. Now, when he trained without weight, he always felt something was off. It wasn¡¯t until he felt the familiar heavy sensation on his body that Chen Sheng nodded in satisfaction. Arriving at the balcony, just as he was about to begin practicing, Chen Sheng caught a glimpse of a figure slowly walking over from a small path. It was none other than Xu Ziwen carrying two bags of oranges. At that moment, she also noticed him. ¡°Teacher Xu, working sote today?¡± Chen Sheng greeted her enthusiastically. ¡°Couldn¡¯t be helped, the school had an event tonight, and it only ended just now.¡± Xu Ziwen said listlessly. As he walked, his figure swayed slightly, looking extremely tired. ¡°Well, Teacher Xu, you should rest early. I won¡¯t bother you then.¡± Seeing that she seemed a bit tired, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t mention the health products and decided to give them to her the next day. After exchanging a few more words, Chen Sheng was about to look away when he suddenly recalled the noise he had heard in the wooden house that afternoon. For some reason, he had a feeling that something was wrong. ¡°Teacher Xu, today¡ª¡± Chen Sheng looked back at Xu Ziwen and wanted him to wait for a moment. But just then, there was a thump. Xu Ziwen suddenly fell in front of the wooden house, the mandarin oranges in his hands scattering all over the ground. ¡°Teacher Xu, are you alright?!¡± Startled, Chen Sheng quickly shouted across the distance. But Xu Ziwen didn¡¯t respond. Seeing this, Chen Sheng hurried down the stairs. To the front of the wooden house. Xu Ziwen¡¯s eyes were slightly closed, his face pale, and his chest was heaving up and down. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t know much about medicine, so seeing this situation, he took out his phone to call an ambnce. But Xu Ziwen stopped him with a raised hand. ¡°No¡ can¡¯t call an ambnce.¡± He grabbed Chen Sheng¡¯s wrist with a pleading tone in his voice. ¡°I¡ finished the chocte, do you have any more¡?¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng was taken aback. Chocte? Could it be hypoglycemia? Just as Chen Sheng was puzzled, he saw Xu Ziwen shakily take out his phone. He showed the screen to Chen Sheng. On it was just one word. Run! Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils contracted. As he opened his mouth, about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. Chen Sheng cast a discreet nce into the wooden house, as if he had noticed something. Instead of running away as Xu Ziwen had suggested, he picked up Xu Ziwen and quickly ran towards his own home. Soon, they arrived on the third floor. ¡°Get me water¡ and chocte.¡± As soon as they reached the living room, Xu Ziwen on his back spoke again. He seemed genuinely weak, not pretending. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t ask any further. He put Xu Ziwen down on the sofa, and after handing him the chocte, immediately went to fetch hot water. When Chen Sheng returned with the hot water, Xu Ziwen had already devoured more than half of a 24-piece box of chocte. Xu Ziwen gulped down arge swallow of hot water and continued to shove chocte into his mouth like a starving wolf. ¡°Whew¡ª¡± Only after swallowing the chocte quickly did Xu Ziwen let out a long breath and lie back down on the sofa. ¡°Sorry to have rmed you, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°This is a family illness of ours, hard to say what it¡¯s specifically called.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve had poor digestion since I was a child, and most of what I eat is difficult to convert into energy.¡± ¡°So, I¡¯ve been relying on drinking Qi and Blood soup medicine or eating high-protein, high-calorie things to replenish my energy.¡± ¡°It might be that I used too much strength during today¡¯s activities and didn¡¯t replenish in time.¡± Xu Ziwen exined his abnormality to Chen Sheng with an apologetic smile on his face. He didn¡¯t mention what had happened just now, seemingly not wanting to discuss it with Chen Sheng. However , Chen Sheng didn¡¯t reply. He just sat on the sofa next to him, his eyes fixed on the mobile phone screen. His fingers kept swiping. Seeing this, Xu Ziwen¡¯s smile slowly faded. ¡°Brother Chen, I never intended to involve you.¡± He tensed his body, as if ready to snatch Chen Sheng¡¯s phone at any moment. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t call the police.¡± ¡°I know you meant no harm to me, otherwise you would have let me run just now.¡± As for this, Chen Sheng seemed to have expected it all. ¡°Can I ask, who is the person hiding in your room?¡± ¡°Teacher Xu¡no, I should call you¡¡± ¡°Shen Ziming, right?¡± Chen Sheng aimed his phone at Shen Ziming. Disyed on the screen was an arrest warrant, with a face bearing a resemnce to Xu Ziwen. [Shen Ziming, caused the death of seven people and seriously injured many others in a bar fight, extremely vicious, currently on the run] [The general public is encouraged to report any sightings, and not to confront the fugitive] Chapter 38 - 38: Pursuit and Pig Face Mask Chapter 38: Pursuit and Pig Face Mask Trantor: 549690339 The truth revealed, Shen Ziming showed no surprise on his face. Ever since Chen Sheng kept scrolling through his phone, he had a premonition. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of me? Shen Ziming asked with a smile. Facing his question, Chen Sheng was calm. ¡°If you wanted to kill me, you would not have told me to run away.¡± That¡¯s true, but in reality, Chen Sheng¡¯s muscles were tense all over his body, and he had Li Chenghu¡¯s chat window open on his phone. As soon as something went wrong, he nned to run away immediately. Naturally, it¡¯s best to escape. But if he couldn¡¯t, he would tell Li Chenghu what he knows. As the two talked, Shen Ziming¡¯splexion visibly improved at a rapid pace. He leaned his hand on the sofa and slowly stood up. Chen Sheng also stood up, maintaining a distance of two meters from Shen Ziming at all times. Noticing Chen Sheng¡¯s movement, Shen Ziming smiled slightly, not caring. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind telling you some things, but it¡¯s been five minutes.¡± ¡°With that person¡¯s alertness, he¡¯ll probably check the ce soon.¡± ¡°If he sees you, or you see him, you¡¯re dead.¡± Shen Ziming walked quickly towards the balcony. ¡°I¡¯ll go out in a while, and you should slip away the opposite direction.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s better not to call the police, trust me, it¡¯s for your own good.¡± Upon arriving at the balcony door, Xu Ziwen turned his head and showed a gentle smile to Chen Sheng. ¡°Thank you for carrying me up earlier.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t die, I¡¯ll definitely repay this favor.¡± Having said that, Shen Ziming pushed the door and went out. Stepping onto the balcony, he made a gentle leap. He jumped straight down from the third floor. Chen Sheng stood still, watching Shen Ziming. His gaze did not linger until thetter¡¯s figure disappeared into the night. Looking at his own phone, Chen Sheng¡¯s face showed a hint of indecision. On the screen, Li Chenghu¡¯s chat window remained open. In front of the wooden house. Thud-Thud. Shen Ziming knocked on his own door. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the door and entered. But in the darkness, one could see the silhouette of a figure sitting next to the wooden table. ¡°Is teaching fun?¡± A hoarse voice with a hint of frivolity sounded in the darkness. ¡°It¡¯s all right, the kids are quite cute.¡± Shen Ziming¡¯s tone was just as rxed. The two talked like old friends, casually catching up. Sizzle¡ªSizzle. The light flickered and the room lit up. Sitting in the chair was a man in ck clothes wearing a pig face mask. ¡°I wonder if your students, if they knew their teacher was a fugitive, would be too scared to sleep at night.¡± From the two holes in the mask, a pair of triangr eyes settled on Shen Ziming, filled with yful ridicule. ¡°What do you think, Teacher Xu?¡± The pig-faced man sarcastically addressed him as Teacher Xu repeatedly, heavy with irony. ¡°I found half of what you want.¡± ¡°At the same time, I also got a clue to the other half.¡± Unmoved by the sarcasm, Shen Ziming simply said two sentences, sessfully drawing the man¡¯s attention. The pig-faced man immediately held out his hand. ¡°Give it to me, and your running away will be forgiven.¡± ¡°Fine. ¡± Shen Ziming agreed straightforwardly. Then, he pulled a wooden box from under the bed. When the wooden box was opened, it contained several sheets of paper. The paper looked aged, with yellowing edges. However, the paper was still in perfect condition, with no damage. From this, it was evident that the owner had taken great care of it. There were crooked characters written on the paper, which did not look like modern script. Shen Ziming took out the paper and walked towards the pig-faced man. As he walked, he talked. ¡°What I found is just a part of the Breathing Technique.¡± ¡°The corresponding Stance practice, I am still investigating.¡± ¡°No matter, give me the Breathing Technique first.¡± The pig-faced man stared intently at the paper in Shen Ziming¡¯s hand, his eyes full of eagerness. One step, two steps, three steps. Shen Ziming walked very slowly. Impatience gradually showed in the pig-faced man¡¯s eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t want to try any tricks¡ª¡± Whoosh! Before he could finish, Shen Ziming swung his arm and threw half of the paper at the pig-faced man. The paper fluttered in the air, the pig-faced man didn¡¯t even bother with Shen Ziming, he just stood up and tried to catch it. At that moment, Thump! The fist suddenly broke through the pages and aimed a punch at the pig-faced man¡¯s face. Seeing such a precious thing being destroyed, the pig-faced man¡¯s eyes turned red immediately. ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± He roared angrily, his arm moving faster than his cry, turning into a ck line aimed straight at Shen Ziming¡¯s fist. The next second, The fists collided. Without any pause, Shen Ziming¡¯s body was swept away by tremendous force and flew out. Bang! The fragile wooden house was instantly broken open with arge hole in the intense impact. Shards scattered, Shen Ziming fell heavily to the ground, fresh blood slowly oozing from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, his entire arm was filled with needle-like pain, almost losing consciousness. But he didn¡¯t dare to pause for a moment. Taking advantage of the pig-faced man still collecting the pages, Shen Ziming quickly got up from the ground and ran away in the distance. Inside the house, The pig-faced man carefully collected all the pages containing the Breathing Technique method and put them carefully into the lining of his clothes. He didn¡¯t leave out even the fragmented pages on the ground, collecting them one by one. When all this was done, he quickly walked out of the wooden house. Looking around, Many of the residents in the area were awakened by the noise. People were standing by the window, their silhouettes peering out. Someone was even holding a phone, seemingly calling the police. ¡°Damn dog.¡± The pig-faced man adjusted his mask, making sure it covered his facepletely. He looked in the direction where Shen Ziming had escaped, and his eyes were full of rolling murderous intent. Half of the Breathing Technique was still in Shen¡¯s possession. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t let this bastard escape. With that thought, The pig-faced man pushed off the ground and shot out like an arrow, chasing after Shen Ziming. Ten minutester, On the hill behind Wutong Vige. Shen Ziming¡¯s figure swiftly passed through the mountain forest. Not far behind him, the pig-faced man pursued relentlessly. Shen Ziming looked back. The distance between the two was gradually shrinking. He could even clearly see the cold light shing in the pig-faced man¡¯s eyes. But Shen Ziming still didn¡¯t give up. From start to finish, he had never thought about defeating the pig-faced man. After all, the opponent was a Fifth-order Covert Strength Martial Artist, while ha If they really fought, he would undoubtedly die. The only way to survivey ahead. During the graveyard sweeping a few days ago, he had already surveyed the terrain. There was a river several hundred meters ahead. As long as he reached there, he would have a chance to escape. Now, it was a race between him jumping into the river first or the pig-faced man catching up to him. Three hundred meters. Hearing the increasingly closer movements from behind, Shen Ziming¡¯s heart was pounding at an unprecedented speed. The constantly secreted adrenaline caused his speed to increase even more. Two hundred meters. He could even faintly hear the sound of rushing water. One hundred meters! Fifty meters! A glimmer of joy shed in Shen Ziming¡¯s eyes. It was right in front of him! Just a little more! However, Just as the river was in sight, A sudden roar sounded behind Shen Ziming¡¯s head. ¡°Bastard, keep running!¡± Following it, A breaking air sound approached. Without having time to think, Shen Ziming crouched down and lunged forward. The fist narrowly grazed the top of his head. But Shen Ziming rolled over several times on the ground. When he got up again, He was greeted by the fist growingrger in front of his eyes. ¡°Die! ! ! In this critical moment, Shen Ziming couldn¡¯t dodge and had to raise his arms to block. Crack! The next moment, Apanied by the sound of shattering bones, Shen Ziming¡¯s figure was thrown out again,nding helplessly just a few meters away from the river. Seeing the destination right in front, He struggled to try to get up. Stamp! A foot suddenly stepped on his back, pressing down his body that he had finally propped up. ¡°You¡¯ve got guts.¡± The pig-faced man¡¯s icy voice came from above. ¡°But don¡¯t worry. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ve got plenty of time to slowly torture you.¡± With that, The pig-faced man lifted his foot, preparing to kick Shen Ziming unconscious and take him back to a secluded ce for interrogation. Whoosh! Suddenly, A sharp whistling sound came from behind and quickly approached.. Chapter 39 - 39: Successful Ambush and Counterattack 39 Chapter 39: Sessful Ambush and Counterattack 39 Trantor: 549690339 Hmm? The pig-faced man reacted extremely quickly.bender The moment the voice rang out, he swiftly moved to the side. A kitchen knife, glittering with a cold light, shed past him. A kitchen knife? In the pig-faced man¡¯s heart, a hint of confusion slowly surfaced. However, before he had time to think, he spotted a dark shadow rapidly closing in from the corner of his eye. The pig-faced man turned his head, intending to get a clear look at the approaching figure. But in the next moment, Intense light suddenly shed across his eyes, causing him to unconsciously squint. Just then, Chen Sheng drew near to the pig-faced man. He discarded the shlight in his hand. With his right foot heavily stepping on the ground, both of his arms swung like axes, aiming for the pig-faced man¡¯s neck. It was the Splitting Fist of the Five Elements Fist. Smack! The fist cut through the air, leaving a booming sound. Light energy? It didn¡¯t make any sense. The pig-faced man quickly recovered, a touch of disdain shing in his eyes. He sidestepped, and his arm shot out like lightning towards Chen Sheng¡¯s elbow. If this punchnded, Chen Sheng¡¯s arm would likely bepletely ruined. But just at that moment, A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth. He abruptly opened his tightly clenched fist. Whoosh! Mud and dust mixed together as they flew directly through his mask and into the pig-faced man¡¯s eyes. Damn! His eyes were suddenly subjected to a fierce blow, causing the actions of the pig-faced man to slow for an instant. Then, Chen Sheng¡¯s left foot stepped forward once more, and the stance of his body abruptly changed. The Splitting Fist produced the Drilling Punch! Boom! The fistnded squarely on the pig-faced man¡¯s abdomen. Being solidly hit by a punch, his abdomen suddenly spasmed. With a retching sound, The pig-faced man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining his mask. Strike while the enemy is sick, seize his life! Seeing that his attack had worked, Chen Sheng immediately pulled out the fruit knife from his waist and stabbed towards the pig-faced man¡¯s waist. With a thunking sound, The gleaming depletely disappeared into the flesh. The continuous dirty tricks caused the pig-faced man to explode with rage in an instant. Ignoring the pain in his body and eyes, he immediately lifted his foot and kicked straight ahead. At this moment, In the pig-faced man¡¯s mind, the only thought was to kill the scoundrel using these underhand methods, he didn¡¯t think of anything else. His speed was so fast that Chen Sheng didn¡¯t have time to react before he felt an enormous force envelop his body. His entire body was suddenly sent flying backward. With a loud thump, Chen Sheng fell heavily to the ground, exactly like what had happened to Shen Ziming earlier. However, A hint of surprise shed through the eyes of the pig-faced man who had sessfully struck Chen Sheng. He looked at his own fist. The feeling of the punch just now, Was strange. It was as if he had punched a lump of cotton. Before the pig-faced man could figure it out, He saw Chen Sheng, not far away, nonchntly picking himself up from the ground. Under the puzzled gaze of the pig-faced man, Chen Sheng dusted himself off. Then, He looked at the pig-faced man, grinned, showing off a mouthful of white teeth. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m just dressed a bit warmly.¡± Chen Sheng pulled at his cor. Under his thick down jacket, he was wearing three sweaters. Inside, he was also wearing a weighted vest and had inserted steel bars at critical positions. With a squelch. The pig-faced man pulled out the fruit knife from his waist, and a jet of blood gushed out. Then, The muscles around his wound contracted, stopping the continuous bleeding. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± The pig-faced man¡¯s pupils shrank. Only now did he get a clear look at Chen Sheng¡¯s face. It was undoubtedly the neighbor he had seen this afternoon while hiding in Shen Ziming¡¯s house. ¡°No wonder Shen Ziming specifically sent you away earlier, you two are in the same gang.¡± ¡°I initially nned to deal with this piece of trash first, then take care of you as an afterthought.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯vee to me¡.¡± The voice of the pig-faced man grew more and more grave. In his voice, there was a chilling maliciousness. ¡°Then just go die!!!¡± Boom! Before his voice hadpletely fallen, The pig-faced man pushed off from the ground, his body shot out like a bullet. At the ce where he had been standing, there was a deep footprint, surrounded by numerous, tiny and dense web-like cracks. The fierce aura rushed towards him, making goosebumps erupt on Chen Sheng¡¯s skin. He absolutely could not take him head-on! Whizz! Chen Sheng swiftly drew his right hand and threw thest knife from his waist at the Pig-faced man. The tiny de instantly cut through the air, shooting towards the Pig-faced man. The Pig-faced man dodged the de once again. His chilling gaze at Chen Sheng grew colder. ¡°Keep on throwing!!¡± Upon hearing those words, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hesitate. He turned and ran away at once. But within a few seconds, The Pig-faced man caught up again. A stabbing sensation in the back of his head led Chen Sheng to evade by hiding behind a tree. Thump! Wood splinters flew everywhere, scratched his face, leaving several small wounds. Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils contracted and his heart pounded wildly. A cold drop of sweat slowly dripped from his forehead. The fist, Stopped just two or three centimeters from his nose. A little more, and it would have struck his face hard. Before Chen Sheng could think more, the fist was immediately withdrawn. The Pig-faced man renewed the attack. Chen Sheng dodged left and right, But still, within a few breaths, the Pig-faced man forced him back. The difference in their strength was too great. p! The Pig-faced man caught Chen Sheng¡¯s neck with one hand, his triangr eyes full of chilling coldness. ¡°Bastard.¡± ¡°Run now.¡± The palm of the Pig-faced man slowly tightened. But at this moment, Chen Sheng¡¯s face hardened. p! He also reached out and grabbed the pig-faced man¡¯s neck. Crack! The Pig-faced man threw a punch, Chen Sheng¡¯s arm made a crisp sound, twisting at a weird angle. ¡°Let go.¡± The words were squeezed out through the gaps between the Pig-faced man¡¯s teeth. Nevertheless, Chen Sheng did not let go of his hand. His arm veins were exposed and his nails deeply embedded in the flesh. ¡°Let go!¡± Thump! Fist hits the left rib, Chen Sheng immediately spat out fresh blood on the Pig-faced man¡¯s mask, but he tilted his head to dodge it. ¡°Let go!¡± Thump! ¡°I told you to let go!¡± Thump! After three punches, Chen Sheng¡¯s face was like a dyed vat, red, yellow, and white, all mixed together. Thest punch from the Pig-faced man broke his nose and caused his brain to feel dizzy. But he still did not let go. And, ¡°He¡ Hehahaha!¡± Chen Sheng forced a smile, revealing his blood-stained gums. ¡°You kid, obviously you weren¡¯t much of a scrapper growing up.¡¯ ¡°Fighting¡ It¡¯s about being ruthless!¡± The moment his words fell, Swipe! Chen Sheng fiercely drew a kitchen knife from his waist and lunged it at the Pig-faced man¡¯s neck. The gleaming de cut through the darkness, aiming for the Pig-faced man¡¯s neck. The Pig-faced man¡¯s eyes widened as he tried desperately to avoid the blow. But Chen Sheng¡¯s palm tightly mped to his head like an iron hoop, refusing to let go. Squelch! The de passed through his fingers and plunged directly into his neck. ¡°I bought a four-piece kitchen knife set, bet you didn¡¯t see thating hahaha!¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s face was fiercely distorted. ¡°You¡ª Blood steadily streamed out. The Pig-faced man¡¯s eyes bulged as if he wanted to say something. Squelch! Another kitchen knife plunged directly into his skull from behind. This time, The eyes of the Pig-faced manpletely lost their vitality. The sound of bodies falling echoed continuously. Both bodies fell to the ground. Chen Shengy weakly on the ground, looking at the night sky. He could only feel waves of drowsiness washing over him. At this time, A hand reached out to Chen Sheng. It was Shen Ziming who had sessfully dealt the finishing blow. The smile on his face was as gentle as always. Only,pared to usual, his face was a bit more diposed. ¡°Brother Chen, should I say you¡¯re fearless or naive like a young calf?.¡± ¡°Anyway, thank you.¡± ¡°I owe you one.¡± p! Hands pped together. Chen Sheng managed to sit up, leaning against the tree trunk, gasping heavily. ¡°Actually, I regretted it as soon as I intervened.¡± ¡°But this asshole kept chasing and beating me, what could I do.¡± He nced at Shen Ziming and spoke weakly. ¡°Hahahaha¡ªhiss¡± Shen Ziming suddenlyughed, seeming to be in a very good mood. However, afterughing a few times, he began to gasp in pain again due to his wound.. Chapter 40 - 40: 39: Inquiries and Post-processing Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Inquiries and Post-processing Trantor: 549690339 In the mountain forest, Shen Ziming squatted down in front of Chen Sheng. Right above their heads, the sky rumbled with muffled thunder from time to time. It was going to rain. ¡°If I am not mistaken, someone must have called the police just now.¡± ¡°The nearest police station would take about half an hour to respond.¡± ¡°Once the police officers arrive, they will deduce our identities as Qi-sensors based on the traces of destruction at the scene.¡± ¡°Then they will inform the Wu¡¯an Bureau and start questioning households one by one.¡± Saying this, Shen Ziming adjusted the gold -framed sses on the bridge of his nose and took a look at his phone. Afterwards, He looked at Chen Sheng. Hidden behind the sses, his pupils were as calm as the depths of an ancient well. It was as if he had not just killed a man, but rather a chicken. ¡°We are in luck, it¡¯s going to rain soon, which will save us a lot of trouble.¡± ¡°You have fifteen minutes to get back home and clean up any traces on your body.¡± ¡°Other than your trip here, tell the truth about everything else.¡± ¡°The more lies you tell, the more ws there will be. Keep it in mind.¡± While speaking, Shen Ziming held Chen Sheng¡¯s head with one hand and pressed his nose with two fingers. ¡°Endure it.¡± Crack! Chen Sheng¡¯s nose was reset. ¡°Your injuries are not serious for a Qi-sensor, don¡¯t go to the hospital. They might investigate the records.¡± ¡°Just stay at home and recover for a couple of days.¡± Chen Sheng leaned against the tree trunk, listening to Shen Ziming¡¯s words. His gaze, however, rested on the pig-faced man lying nearby. Fresh blood continuously flowed from the man¡¯s neck into the ground like a small stream. His lifeless eyes still held the emotions from his final moments. Unwillingness, anger, and disbelief were all mixed together. He had killed someone. Chen Sheng suddenly realized this fact. In his past twenty-five years of life, he had never thought this kind of thing would happen to him. Snuffing out a life with his own hands. He should be afraid. Or perhaps terrified. But strangely, Chen Sheng¡¯s heart was filled with unprecedented calmness. Within this calmness, there was a hint of an unusual emotion. It seemed to be¡±Hiss-¡± The sudden pain in his arm made Chen Sheng gasp for air. At the same time, it brought him back to reality. Shen Ziming had also reset the bone in his arm. ¡°You seem quite familiar with killing.¡± Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming. The two of them had been through life and death together, but they hardly knew each other. ¡°With more experience, it naturally bes familiar.¡± Shen Ziming lowered his head and answered nonchntly. He paused for a moment then added, ¡°But I only killed those who deserved to die.¡± ¡°Who sets the boundary?¡± ¡°I do.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± During their conversation, Shen Ziming helped Chen Sheng to his feet. ¡°Leave the rest to me. You go back first and don¡¯t let anyone find any ws.¡± Chen Sheng did not leave immediately. He hesitated while looking at Shen Ziming, opening his mouth. What is it like to be a Qi-sensor? Why are some simr to ordinary people, while others treat human life like dirt? What were the pig-faced man and his organization up to? What were they looking for? And how did Shen Ziming end up where he is today? Chen Sheng¡¯s heart was filled with many doubts. m me ena, He asked the most pressing question on his mind. ¡°Do you Qi-sensors be indifferent to life after killing too many people, developing the illusion of being above everyone else?¡± Hearing this, Shen Zimingughed. He seemed to see through Chen Sheng¡¯s doubts. ¡°You speak as if you are not a Qi-sensor yourself.¡± ¡°However, your words are not urate.¡± ¡°Being above everyone else is not an illusion, but rather a fact.¡± ¡°We, who possess great power, can do things that many cannot or dare not do.¡± As he spoke, The indifference in Shen Ziming¡¯s eyes made Chen Sheng feel quite unfamiliar. But immediately after, He changed the subject. ¡°However, within these things, there are both good and bad deeds.¡± ¡°What deeds can be done, and what cannot.¡± ¡°Who should be killed, and who should not.¡± Shen Ziming pointed at his heart. ¡°How exactly to do it and make the choice is up to you.¡± As Shen Ziming¡¯s words fell. Drip. A raindrop fell from above, hitting Chen Sheng¡¯s nose. It seemed to be telling him that time was running out. He took a deep look at Shen Ziming before turning around and walking towards the riverside. ¡°I appreciate the fruits and chocte you gave me, but we don¡¯t have any rtionship anymore.¡± Before leaving, Chen Sheng waved his hand, seemingly wanting to draw a clear line between himself and Shen Ziming. He didn¡¯t know why he had impulsively decided to save Shen Ziming. Maybe it was because he thought Shen was a good person and didn¡¯t deserve to die. Or perhaps it was because of the gifts. In any case, The two now have nothing to do with each other. These messy things, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to get involved anymore. He went to the riverbank, picked up the kitchen knife and shlight he had thrown away, and prepared to leave. ¡°Brother Chen.¡± But just after taking a few steps, he was stopped again by Shen Ziming. ¡°I said, I owe you my life.¡± ¡°In a couple of days, I¡¯ll give you a big gift.¡± Chen Sheng was taken aback. ¡°What kind of gift?¡± Whoosh! The pouring rain came down upon their heads. The sound of the rain filled the entire world in an instant. Chen Sheng could only see Shen Ziming¡¯s mouth moving up and down. But he couldn¡¯t hear what was actually being said. Afterward, Shen Ziming ignored him and began to search the pig-faced man¡¯s body. Only twelve minutes left. He didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and turned around to run towards home. As Chen Sheng moved forward, The pouring rain washed away all traces of him behind. After ten minutes, Chen Sheng arrived home safely. He immediately sent a WeChat message to Li Chenghu, recounting the events of the night. As Shen Ziming said, he told the truth about ny percent of the situation. He just omitted the part where he chased after Shen Ziming after his escape. After sending the message, Li Chenghu didn¡¯t reply immediately. Chen Sheng took off all his clothes and threw them into the washing machine. Wearing just a pair of underwear, he cleaned up the mud and water stains he had brought in when he entered the house. After doing all this, He went into the bathroom to wash the blood stains off his body. Chen Sheng looked at himself in the mirror. Every muscle on his body was sharp and evenly distributed in every corner. Nowadays, walking in the gym, no one would think he was a beginner who had only been training for less than two weeks. ¡°Hiss¡ª¡± Water flowed over the wound, causing Chen Sheng to grit his teeth in pain. Although his hand only appeared bruised and swollen from the surface, Only Chen Sheng knew. Every attack from the pig-faced man had hidden energy seeping into his body. Now, whenever he moved slightly, there would be a needle-like pain at the wound site. This was only because the pig-faced man¡¯s attack power was greatly reduced due to Chen Sheng¡¯s ambush. If it were the pig-faced man¡¯s heyday, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t think he would survive. ¡°Hidden energy warrior, huh¡¡± ¡°So strong.¡± Chen Sheng murmured to himself. Water covered his body, mixing with blood as it slowly flowed into the sewer. When Chen Sheng stepped out of the bathroom, he immediately put on a sweater to cover his injuries. At this moment, Except for the red, swollen, and bloodshot nose, there were no other signs exposed. ¡°Anyone there?¡± Just at this moment, a knock sounded at the front door of the house downstairs.bender He took a deep breath, calming his slightly elerated heartbeat. Then, He picked up an umbre and went downstairs. Opening the door, there were two police officers standing outside. Due to the rain and the darkness of the night, The officers shone a shlight at Chen Sheng to see his face clearly. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Chen Sheng?¡± ¡°What happened to your face?¡± ¡°Have you had any contact with your new neighbor?¡± ¡°Yes, his name is Xu Ziwen, and he¡¯s from the nearby school¡¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already told Captain Li Chenghu from the Wu¡¯an Bureau about what happened tonight, you can verify it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m his apprentice.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s words were mostly true. And he subtly mentioned Li Chenghu. After observing the house without finding any clues, the two officers left and went to the next household.. Chapter 41 - 41: 40: Recovery and the 9th Rank Martial Artist Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Recovery and the 9th Rank Martial Artist Trantor: 549690339 After the two police officers left, Chen Sheng moved over to the sofa and picked up his phone. There was a message from Li Chenghu. Instead of rushing to ask about Shen Ziming¡¯s affairs, he asked if Chen Sheng was safe. Chen Sheng felt touched. At the same time, he felt a twinge of guilt for deceiving Li Chenghu. After all, the other person truly cared for him. Regrettably, He couldn¡¯t, and dared not, tell Li Chenghu about his involvement in the killing of the pig-faced man. But, regarding the other information, he shared everything he knew. Another ten minutes passed. After exining the situation to Li Chenghu, Chen Sheng put down his phone and moved to the center of the living room. If he waited for his injuries to heal slowly , it might arouse suspicion. Therefore, Chen Sheng had a theory. Increasing his Physical Attribute could restore his stamina. But, could it also heal injuries? With that thought in mind, He began practicing the Three-Body Technique in his living room, enduring the pain. Fifteen minutester, Chen Sheng began to feel a numb tingling sensation in his arm, ribs, and bridge of his nose. It was working! He was overjoyed, and it motivated him to practice even harder. Time slowly ticked away. Three hourster. After finishing his practice, Chen Sheng felt a sense of lightness in his body. Though slight pain still lingered when he touched his injured areas, it no longer hindered his movement. By tomorrow, he thought, he would be fully recovered. He summoned his panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 2.34] [Agility: 1.97] [Physical Constitution: 2.65] [Skill Points: 3.18] All three attributes had increased by 0.18. His Agility Attribute was even close to breaking the 2.0 mark. He was also one step closer to upgrading his Three-Body Technique with his Skill Points. Gurgle- Perhaps because his body had expended energy to heal his injuries, Right after finishing his practice of the Three-Body Technique, Chen Sheng was about to take a short rest when he was suddenly ovee by hunger. With no other choice, He headed to the kitchen to cook another meal for himself. After eating, his strength had almost fully returned. This time, due to his injuries, Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t worn any weights while practicing the Three-Body Technique. But now that his body was mostly healed, he decided to put them back on, adjusting them to a weight of 50 kg. He was somewhat curious about the ¡°big gift¡± Shen Ziming mentioned. But as he couldn¡¯t find out what it was, all he could do was wait and hope that it wouldn¡¯t be something worthless. Thinking this, Chen Sheng, wearing his weights, resumed basic training. An hour and a halfter, The workout was over. He summoned his panel once again. His Strength Attribute had increased by 0.13, reaching 2.47. The other two attributes also increased by 0.02 each. Based on Chen Sheng¡¯s approximate calctions, a Strength Attribute of 2-2.3 meant a tenth-rank martial artist. 2.3-2.6 indicated a ninth-rank. 2.6-2.9 represented an eighth-rank. His current level was approximately that of a ninth-rank martial artist. As his physical strength grew, Chen Sheng¡¯s rate of improvement greatly exceeded his expectations. By tomorrow, he estimated, he should be able to surpass Shi Jian, bing a peak Light Energy martial artist, and begin progressing towards bing a Hidden Energy Warrior. He had originally nned to wait until he amassed five Skill Points before he would upgrade his Three-Body Stance. But now, After witnessing the might of the pig-faced man, he decided to upgrade the Five Elements Fist directly after his Strength Attribute reached three, with the aim to break through to the Hidden Energy Level. Even though Shen Ziming had assured that Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t be implicated, he didn¡¯t want topletely rely on others. Maximizing his own strength was the only way to prepare for potential crises. ¡°Inner practice cultivates Qi, outer practice strengthens muscles, bones, and skin, so that all tissues throughout the body are connected, thus unleashing Hiaaen Energy, maK1ng e pu ana KICK exponentially more powerrul.¡¯ That¡¯s what Shi Jian had told him when introducing martial arts realms. Having felt it himself now, Chen Sheng was, of course, very much looking forward to Hidden Energy. After a short rest, It was alreadyte. Chen Sheng picked up his phone, intending to quickly take a shower then go straight to bed. But at that moment, he noticed a new message from Li Chenghu. [Tiger Roams the World: Ah Sheng, do you want to make money?] Make money? Chen Sheng¡¯s face lit up. His wallet had been gradually emptying, so he had been worried. Of course, he would jump at the chance to make money. [Qingfeng Xi: Master, what¡¯s the deal?]bender Just in case, Chen Sheng decided to listen before making a decision. If it required too much time, even if itpressed his training time, he would have to regretfully decline. [Tiger Roams the World: I¡¯m nning to get everyone under me to try learning martial arts, so I¡¯m thinking of hiring a martial arts instructor, four hours each morning is all that¡¯s needed] [What do you think, interested?] At this remark, Chen Sheng remembered that Li Xingwu had mentioned this when he was talking nonsense at the martial arts hall. [Qingfeng Xi: No problem] He agreed straight away without even asking about the reward. By now, Chen Sheng owed Li Chenghu a lot of favors. Even without a reward, he wouldn¡¯t mind helping out. [Tiger Roams the World: Alright, I¡¯ve almost prepared everything. Come straight here tomorrow morning. I¡¯ll send you a message] It seemed that Li Chenghu was well-prepared. After setting a time, Chen Sheng put the phone down and took a quick shower in the bathroom. Returning to his room, he looked out the window before going to bed. The downpour hade quickly and went just as fast. Now, there was only a drizzle outside. In the dark night, Chen Sheng could clearly see a flickering light not far away. It was probably the police from the Wu¡¯an Bureau responding to a call and searching for Shen Ziming. After a nce, Chen Sheng took his eyes off the scene. He turned off the light and as soon as hey in bed, waves of sleepiness washed over him. Early the next morning. Thud. Thud. Thud. ¡°Any¡anyone there?¡± Still in the midst of his dreams, Chen Sheng was abruptly awakened by knocking sounds downstairs. The sound wasn¡¯t loud, but because of his high agility attribute, his hearing sharpness had also increased. Squinting, he went to the window and looked outside. The sight instantly swept away the sleepiness from his mind. Even though he couldn¡¯t see the full appearance of the person standing behind the door. He recognized that the person was wearing a police uniform. Chen Sheng¡¯s heart tightened. Did the Wu¡¯an Bureau discover something? ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡± Having shouted out the window, Chen Sheng quickly came downstairs. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, officer?¡± As he said this, he opened the door. The next second. ¡°Huh? ¡°You?¡± X2 Chen Sheng and the person at the door both froze. The person was wearing a police uniform. A long ponytail hung by her waist. Despite the grime on her face, Chen Sheng recognized her. This was the Qi-sensor he had encountered a few days ago while catching robbers. Seems like her name was¡ Xu Rou? ¡°Why?¡± X2 ¡°You go first.¡± X2 Alright then. Their second meeting was strangely in sync with each other. Chen Sheng smiled wryly and made a zip mouth gesture on his lips. Seeing this, Xu Rou spoke again. ¡°Hi, I came to warn the nearby residents.¡± ¡°The person involved in the fight yesterday, who is a teacher named Xu Ziwen.¡± ¡°He is an extremely dangerous fugitive. If you see him, do not engage and contact us immediately.¡± With that said, Xu Rou took out a piece of paper and wrote down two phone numbers. ¡°The one on top is the phone number of the Wu¡¯an Bureau.¡± ¡°The one below is my personal number. You can also directly call this one.¡± ¡°Remember, absolutely do not engage with him.¡± Xu Rou spoke very seriously. Since they didn¡¯t discover anything rted to him, Chen Sheng rxed. He smiled and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Officer Xu, I will notify you immediately if there are any updates.¡± ¡°Good, thank you.¡± After she said that, Xu Rou turned to leave. However, her pace was hesitant, and her face showed signs of struggle. Eventually, She seemed to have made up her mind. ¡°Excuse me¡ª¡± However, When Xu Rou turned around, She was greeted by a closed iron door. She instantly deted, just like a punctured ball. Ever since she saw Chen Sheng¡¯s Xingyi Fist, she had been wanting to practice martial arts. She had read the martial arts materials at the Wu¡¯an Bureau, but without guidance, her progress was slow. Although Li Chenghu would sometimes guide her on the Three-Body Technique , she was clueless for the Five Elements Fist and the Twelve Forms Boxing. Today, she luckily bumped into Chen Sheng again. She had nned to get to know him and ask for guidance in martial arts. Now, Her hopes were dashed once again. Sigh¡ª With that in mind, Xu Rou walked towards the next house with a heavy heart.. Chapter 42 - 42: 41: Instructor and Restless Qj Chapter 42: Chapter 41: Instructor and Restless Qj Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Interesting.¡± Chen Sheng looked at the phone number in his hand and couldn¡¯t help but feel amazed. A few days ago, the little girl he encountered when he saw someone in need turned out to be from the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Should this be called fate or a cliche? However, this phone number wasn¡¯t very useful to him. After all, if there was any problem, Chen Sheng could directly contact Li Chenghu. Returning home, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hurry to wash himself and change clothes. Going to the balcony, he slowly closed his eyes. Feeling the slight chill in the air, he took a deep breath. In the cool weather, a mist emerged from Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth, dissipating two meters away. Even now, The events he experienced yesterday still felt like a dream. But Chen Sheng knew it really happened. Because, He could feel the change in his state of mind. Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, He looked calmly at the crowd passing below. After killing the pig-faced manst night, that strange feeling rose again. Now, He finally understood what that odd emotion was. A sense of superiority. A sense of superiority over the existence of life. In the past, the people below were just people in Chen Sheng¡¯s view. But now, they were more like¡ the teeming masses of living beings. And he, is an existence above them. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t know why he had this sense of superiority. That¡¯s also why he asked Shen Ziming that questionst night. ¡°What can be done and what cannot.¡± ¡°Whom to kill and whom not to.¡± ¡°How to do it specifically, depends on you.¡± Pa! Thinking of what Shen Ziming had said, Chen Sheng shook his head, then raised his hands and pped them hard on his face. Only then did the inexplicable sense of superiority fade away. ¡°I¡¯m not a killer, I¡¯m not a killer.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a good person, I¡¯m a good person.¡± As if hypnotizing himself, Chen Sheng muttered while walking into the house. However , The image of the pig-faced man¡¯s eyes just before he died kept shing through his mind. That gaze and his calmness at the time constantly echoed in his head. This made his heart feel heavy. But Chen Sheng didn¡¯t think about it any further, After washing up, changing clothes, eating quickly, and putting on his weighted gear, he went downstairs directly. ¡°Training, training.¡± ¡°People shouldn¡¯t be idle, since idleness leads to wild thoughts.¡± Chen Sheng thought of the teachings his parents gave him since childhood and seemed eager to train. so, Without even warming up, he started running towards the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Last night, Li Chenghu had sent the location to his phone. The route was about thirteen kilometers away from Chen Sheng¡¯s home. For him now, even with 50 kilograms of weight on his body, this was nothing. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng reached the entrance of the Wu¡¯an Bureau smoothly.bender To prevent himself from having wild thoughts, he deliberately increased his speed today. Summoning the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 2.49] [Agility: 2.01] [Constitution: 2.76] During this run, the Constitution attribute increased by 0.09, and the other two attributes also increased by 0.02. The Agility attribute also sessfully broke through the two-point threshold. Retracting the panel, Chen Sheng peeked inside the Wu¡¯an Bureau. It didn¡¯t look too different from a regr police station, just bigger in size. After observing for a while, he took out his phone and informed Li Chenghu that he had arrived. Inside the Wu¡¯an Bureau, the training ground. The training ground wasn¡¯t big, only about fifty square meters, and apart from simple tables and chairs for resting and storage cabs, there wasn¡¯t anything else. ¡°Reporting to Captain Li!¡± ¡°I think instead of learning martial arts here, we should focus our time on more meaningful things.¡± Li Chenghu was standing in the center. In front of him were two rows of four people each, all dressed in casual clothes and neers to the Wu¡¯an Bureau. The one speaking was a buzz-cut youth standing in the back row. His skin was wheat-colored, wearing a white t-shirt and camouge military pants. When he spoke, his expression was very serious, as if he really believed what he said. And the people around him, hearing his words, showed a look of deep agreement. They couldn¡¯t understand why, since they joined the Wu¡¯an Bureau, Captain Li Chenghu would waste time having them learn martial arts. Admittedly, martial arts were strong. Among Qi-sensors, practitioners of martial arts had greaterbat powerpared to people with the same physical qualities. But the key is, martial arts take a long time to learn and are expensive. With this time, they might as well develop their bodies to make them even stronger. After all, techniques can only be used as a supplement. What really determines thebat power of a Qi-sensor is physical strength. Among the eight of them, only one person did not agree with the buzz-cut youth¡¯s words. It was Xu Rou. The little girl stood among the crowd, with her short stature and excited expression, she was particrly eye-catching. ¡°Cut the crap!¡± ¡°Look at your restless appearances; even participating in action would only drag the team down!¡± Facing the questioning, Captain Li Chenghu spoke in a cold voice without exining his ns. ¡°If I tell you to practice, then practice!¡± ¡°If anyone is dissatisfied, step forward and practice alone!¡± As soon as his words fell, whoosh! All the neers to the Wu¡¯an Bureau took a step back in unison. On the first day of reporting, Captain Li had already fought with them. No one wanted to be abused for no reason. The buzz-cut youth who was originally shouting also slightly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him. Seeing this, Li Chenghu snorted coldly. He took out his phone and nced at it. ¡°Your instructor will be here soon.¡± ¡°If anyone is still dissatisfied, you can tell your instructor at that time.¡± ¡°If any of you can beat him and get his consent, I¡¯ll allow you not to practice martial arts.¡± As soon as these words came out, almost everyone¡¯s eyes lit up in unison. A subconscious smile appeared on the corner of Li Chenghu¡¯s mouth but was immediately suppressed by him. Having said that, he left the training ground without waiting for the neers¡¯ reaction. ¡°Captain Li, are you trying to kill Little Chen?¡± As soon as he left the door, a voice came from behind Li Chenghu. He turned around. The speaker was Strong Bro, whom Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t seen for a long time. He frowned at Li Chenghu, not understanding why he did so. ¡°Little Chen has only been training in the Three-Body Technique for not even a week. ¡± ¡°And didn¡¯t you say that his Qi Sense Talent wasn¡¯t that great?¡± Strong Bro pointed towards the door. ¡°The weakest here is at the tenth rank, and there are even two at the eighth rank.¡± The Wu¡¯an Bureau still uses the same ranking system as the Martial Arts Association when evaluating strength. However, they did not distinguish them by Light Energy, An Jin, and Transforming Power, but had a detailed process of testing physical attributes. Those who could enter the Wu¡¯an Bureau were all Qi-sensors and had been awakened for some time. With Strong Bro¡¯s understanding of Chen Sheng, it would be good enough if he could beat the weakest one among them. Not to mention the others. ¡°You know nothing,¡± Li Chenghu directly choked Strong Bro with a mysterious smile on his face. ¡°If you¡¯re worried, you can stay here and watch.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s really any danger, you can take action to stop it.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not going to chatter with you, I¡¯ll go to the door and bring him in.¡± Li Chenghu waved his hand and walked directly towards the entrance. The reason he mentioned it in the training ground was his own consideration. To let these neers quickly feel the charm of martial arts, a fight was the simplest way. Otherwise, if they were unwilling and forced to learn, it would only be a waste of time. Most importantly, Li Chenghu had confidence in Chen Sheng. He believed in his disciple, who would definitely help him hone the temper of these neers.. Chapter 43 - 43: 42: Dispelling Confusion and Teaching Demonstration Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Dispelling Confusion and Teaching Demonstration Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Ah Sheng!¡± Chen Sheng had just sent the message a couple of minutes ago, when he heard Li Chenghu¡¯s call. The other party was waving his hand as he walked from behind the door. ¡°Master.¡± Chen Sheng responded with a smile and walked up to him. ¡°You made it quite¡ª¡± Halfway through his sentence, When Li Chenghu approached Chen Sheng, his voice suddenly stopped. He furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°Ah Sheng, is there something going on with you?¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s heart jumped slightly. He almost forgot That with Li Chenghu¡¯s many years of professional experience, he could probably notice even the slightest change in him. Chen Sheng¡¯s brain worked quickly. In the next second, He touched his nose and his expression became somewhat gloomy. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about what happenedst night.¡± ¡°Was Xu Ziwen really such a vicious wanted criminal?¡± ¡°When he found someone in his room, he didn¡¯t involve innocent people, he¡¡± ¡°If one day I also identally kill someone, will I be like him too?¡± Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s question, Li Chenghu put his arm around his shoulder and took him towards the Wu¡¯an Bureau building. ¡°What you¡¯re thinking about now is what every Qi-sensor, including me, has pondered over.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like when someone who was originally impoverished suddenly obtains arge amount of wealth, they might indulge in excessive consumption.¡± ¡°Buying things they once couldn¡¯t afford, experiencing everything they once hesitated to try, using money to satisfy their desires.¡± ¡°Most people are like that.¡± ¡°Hunger, lust, greed, and various other desires.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because of these desires that drive humans to continually plunder, fight, wage wars, and ultimately be masters of this.¡± At this point, Li Chenghu squeezed Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder with force. ¡°But Ah Sheng, you need to remember.¡± ¡°The reason why humans have created the present civilized society is because of the perseverance of a few.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because of those humans who were not driven by desires.¡± ¡°Do you understand?¡± Li Chenghu looked straight into Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes, his expression extremely serious and solemn. It seemed like a teaching, or a warning as well. Chen Sheng appeared deep in thought. After a brief moment, he slowly nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll think about it carefully.¡± Chen Sheng did not give an immediate affirmative response. But hearing this, Li Chenghu¡¯s face immediately showed a smile again. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you to see your students.¡± ¡°In a while, fight as much as you want, don¡¯t hold back.¡± After saying that, He released Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder and quickly walked towards the interior. Huh? Chen Sheng hurriedly followed, a hint of confusion on his face. Wasn¡¯t he here to teach martial arts? Why did he have to hit people? Obviously, Li Chenghu had no intention of exining. They crossed the flowerbed pathway and arrived at a small building behind the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s headquarters. ¡°This is the Wu¡¯an Bureau Training Ground. The people you¡¯re going to teach are in 3rd floor, Room 302.¡± p! Li Chenghu forcefully patted Chen Sheng¡¯s back, knocking him a bit off bnce. ¡°Once it¡¯s over, I¡¯ll WeChat transfer your sry directly to you.¡± Chen Sheng turned his head, Li Chenghu¡¯s smile had a profound meaning>. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. But since he¡¯d already arrived, Chen Sheng could only brace himself and enter the building. He made his way up to the third floor. ¡°Little Chen, over here.¡± Chen Sheng was nning to find Room 302 by the door number. He saw Strong Bro, who was as tall as a door frame, standing not far away waving to him. ¡°Strong Bro, what are you doing here?¡± Chen Sheng eximed in surprise. Ever since he joined the Xingwu Gym, he hadn¡¯t seen Strong Bro again since he always went to the gym in the afternoon. ¡°I¡¯m the boxing instructor here, and I also handle some paperwork on the side.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded in realization. No wonder Strong Bro and Li Chenghu were so familiar with each other, they both worked at the Wu¡¯an Bureau. ¡°I don¡¯t know what your Master was thinking when he told you to teach these brats.¡± ¡°I¡¯m free today, so I¡¯ll just stand outside and watch.¡± ¡°If you run into any situations you can¡¯t handle, I¡¯ll step in.¡± Strong Bro grinned, pounding his chest with a thumping sound. But his words did not provide anyfort, instead, they made Chen Sheng even more confused. What was going on? With a puzzled look, Chen Sheng subconsciously stepped into the training ground. Whoosh! As soon as he stepped in, Sixteen pairs of eyes all swiveled towards him. ¡°Good morning, Instructor!!!¡± It seemed like they had nned this. As soon as Chen Sheng walked in, a deafening shout greeted him. The sound made his ears itch. Chen Sheng scratched his ears, looking at his students. Most of them had undisguised provocative expressions in their eyes. ¡°Um, hello.¡± After experiencingst night¡¯s events, Chen Sheng¡¯s psychological endurance had grown stronger. He smiled and nodded in the face of so many people ring at him, and came to stand in front of the students. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you?¡± Then, he noticed Xu Rou among the students. Xu Rou was equally excited. Before Chen Sheng arrived, Strong Bro had warned them that the new martial arts instructor had only practiced for seven days, and they shouldn¡¯t go too overboard. At first, Xu Rou was disappointed, thinking that someone who had only practiced martial arts for seven days couldn¡¯t possibly teach her what she wanted to learn. But she hadn¡¯t expected it to be Chen Sheng who arrived. ¡°Good morning, Instructor!¡± Xu Rou¡¯s crisp voice was much better than the hoarse voices of the other students. Chen Sheng nodded and smiled in response. Checking the time, it was now eight o¡¯clock in the morning. ording to the schedule Li Chenghu had mentioned, he would have to teach here for four hours, until twelve o¡¯clock at noon. ¡°It¡¯s about time, so let¡¯s get right to it¡ª¡± Whoosh! Before Chen Sheng could finish his sentence, he saw a hand raised in the crowd. It was the buzz-cut youth who had opposed learning martial arts earlier. ¡°Excuse me, Instructor.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not familiar with martial arts, nor do we understand the benefits of practicing it!¡± ¡°We hope the instructor can demonstrate it for us!¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng paused for a moment. Were there no martial arts resources in the Wu¡¯an Bureau? But the buzz-cut youth¡¯s serious expression didn¡¯t seem to be fake. Before Chen Sheng could reply, Thud! Another student stepped forward. He was a short, dark-skinned, but sturdy youth. ¡°Instructor, my name is Wang Dazhuang, and I¡¯m willing to work with you for the demonstration.¡± The two seemed to havemunicated beforehand, with one proposing the idea and the other stepping forward. They didn¡¯t give Chen Sheng a chance to refuse. Seeing this, Chen Sheng understood what they were after. They wanted to see just how capable he was. It was framed as a demonstration, but in reality, it was a sparring match. If Chen Sheng lost, he would have no face to teach martial arts here. No wonder Li Chenghu had been so cryptic before, and even Strong Bro seemed off.bender Having figured it out, Chen Sheng actually rxed. It was his first time teaching, and he wasn¡¯t sure where to start. But since these students took the initiative to suggest a n, That was even better. ¡°No problem.¡± He immediately agreed, nodding.. Chapter 44 - 44: 43: Demonstration and One-Punch Second Kill Chapter 44: Chapter 43: Demonstration and One-Punch Second Kill Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Wang Dazhuang, please teach us, Instructor!¡± As soon as Chen Sheng agreed, Wang Dazhuang walked up to him in a straight posture, not far away. Behind him, All the other students, except Xu Rou, had expressions of watching a good show. The male students quickly dispersed, leaving a space for them topete, and then gathered around the buzz-cut youth. Only Xu Rou stood hesitantly in ce. ¡°Instructor Chen, you¡.¡± If Xu Rou remembers correctly, Chen Sheng is suspected of being a Qi-sensor. But from the strength Chen Sheng showed when they first met, Chen Sheng seemed¡ quite weak. It¡¯s fine for dealing with ordinary people, but probably not enough for dealing with a Qi-sensor. She wanted to shout out to stop them, But before she could finish speaking, she was pulled back by another female student, who whispered in her ear about Chen Sheng. ¡°Xiao Rou, do you think our instructor can win?¡± ¡°He looks about our age, who knows how long he¡¯s been practicing martial arts?¡± Xu Rou opened her mouth, wanting to speak. But at that moment, Chen Sheng suddenly turned his head to look at them both. ¡°Seven days.¡± He said with a smile. Huh? The female student was stunned, exchanging looks with Xu Rou. Even other people looked puzzled, not knowing what Chen Sheng was suddenly talking about. ¡°Instructor, what do you mean by seven days?¡± Someone asked the question for the female student. ¡°I mean, I¡¯ve been practicing martial arts for a total of seven days.¡± ¡°I have also awakened as a Qi-sensor around the same time.¡± Chen Sheng replied. As soon as his words fell, The scene fell into silence for a short while. Next second, Whoosh. An uproar broke out instantly. ¡°Really?!¡± ¡°Practicing martial arts for seven days, where does he get the guts to teach us?¡± ¡°Is Captain Li joking with us?¡± Some straightforward students immediately started discussing. Although they were talking to people around them, their volume was not low due to their surprise. And the buzz-cut youth who had been standing there with his arms folded and not talking, noticed Li Chenghu outside the window at the first moment. He quickly realized that Strong Bro, the boxing instructor, pped his forehead helplessly as soon as Chen Sheng mentioned his seven days of martial arts training. It seemed, This new instructor was telling the truth. Realizing this, The buzz-cut youth¡¯s eyebrows frowned immediately. Although he did not discuss like a few people beside him, he was equally dissatisfied. An awakened Qi-sensor who had only learned martial arts for seven days was here to teach them? It was simply an insult to them. In his view, this was Li Chenghu deliberately ying a prank, trying to dull their sharpness. In that case¡. A vicious look shed in the buzz-cut youth¡¯s eyes. ¡°Dazhuang! ¡± He suddenly shouted. ¡°Don¡¯t hold back, show the instructor our strength.¡± He wanted to show Captain Li that although they were new people with limited experience in facing Qi-sensors. They were not small fish that could be trampled on by anyone. Among all the new people, the buzz-cut youth was the strongest, so he became the backbone of the male students. Hearing this, Wang Dazhuang¡¯s eyes brightened, and his chest muscles trembled with excitement. ¡°No problem, Brother Liu!¡± He thumped his fists against his chest, making a banging sound. Wang Dazhuang looked at Chen Sheng, grinning. ¡°Instructor, I¡¯m just an ordinary Tenth level Qi sensor, practiced two months of wrestling, naturally not as good as your seven days of martial arts experience, please be mercifulter.¡± He stretched out his hands like ws, his body slightly crouching. His words were heavy with sarcasm. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t mind, he smiled and assumed the Three-Body Technique stance. It seemed their battle was about to start. But at this moment, The female student beside Xu Rou was still doubting herself. ¡°Xiao Rou, did I speak too loudly?¡± She clearly remembered whispering in Xu Rou¡¯s ear. None of the male students nearby heard, so why did Chen Sheng suddenly answer? Xu Rou¡¯s gaze fell on the field, equally puzzled. Could it be¡ the instructor was not simple? Before she could figure it out, Wang Dazhuang on the field took the initiative to attack. Step! He stomped his foot, his body maintaining a crouching posture as he lunged at Chen Sheng. His target was Chen Sheng¡¯s legs. As long as he controlled the lower body, even if the enemy were at their most powerful, they could only be at his mercy. Facing the charging Wang Dazhuang. Chen Sheng remained motionless, as if scared silly. Seeing this situation, A look of contempt shed in the buzz-cut youth¡¯s eyes. This so-called instructor probably doesn¡¯t even have any actualbat experience. He seemed to be able to see Chen Sheng being sent straight to the hospital by a single bear hug from Wang Dazhuang. Even Strong Bro outside the window appeared anxious, hurriedly rushing into the training ground. ¡°Hey, you guys¡ª¡± Strong Bro reached out, trying to stop Wang Dazhuang¡¯s action. But at that moment. Crack! The sudden crisp sound drowned out Strong Bro¡¯s words. A short figure soared into the air. The next second, The figure fell heavily, Smashing into the floor of the training ground. Boom! The dull sound echoed through the training ground. Who am I? Where am I? What just happened? His eyes were nk as he stared at the ceiling, his mind filled with question marks. But soon, Before he could figure it out, Wang Dazhuang¡¯s eyes rolled back. He actually passed out directly.bender ¡°Does anyone else need a demonstration from me?¡± Chen Sheng slowly retracted his stance, smiling at the surrounding students. As a tenth level Qi sensor, Wang Dazhuang was too weak for him at present. Not only was he physically overpowering, but even in terms of fighting skills, Chen Shengpletely crushed him. The result was within his expectations. But the others could not be as calm as Chen Sheng. After speaking, Chen Sheng looked around. Silence. Dead silence. The entire training ground was so quiet that it seemed as if even a pin dropping to the floor could be clearly heard. Strong Bro remained in his reaching out movement, like a statue frozen in ce. At this point, He was questioning his life. Light Energy, that¡¯s Light Energy, right?! This Chen kid, I haven¡¯t seen him for three or four days, and now he¡¯s got Light Energy? And can knock out a tenth level Qi sensor with one punch? Strong Bro even wondered if he might be suffering from dementia. It seemed like only three or four days had passed, but in reality, a whole year had gone by. If not for this, he couldn¡¯t think of any other reason to exin what he had seen. As for the surrounding students, They were even more unbearable. The buzz-cut youth was slightly better, just widening his eyes while his crossed arms unconsciously loosened. Meanwhile, the others, Had their mouths wide open, as if they could swallow a fist, and stared nkly at Chen Sheng. Pat pat! When no one acknowledged him, Chen Sheng helplessly pped a few times. The crowd finally came back to their senses from the shocked state. Originally quiet, the training ground became noisy once again. ¡°What the fuck was that?!¡± ¡°You ask me, who am I supposed to ask? I just fucking turned my head when Wang Dazhuang was suddenly on the ground.¡± Some were shocked, others immediately rushed to Wang Dazhuang¡¯s side to check on him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t use my full strength, he just simply passed out.¡± Chen Sheng exined at the right time. But the result was the opposite. The students who were checking on Wang Dazhuang¡¯s condition couldn¡¯t help but shudder at this statement. Is this called not using full strength? If he had used his full strength, wouldn¡¯t he have blown Wang Dazhuang¡¯s brain out? They didn¡¯t dare to respond, they just bowed their heads and quickly moved Wang Dazhuang to the side of the field. ¡°Strong Bro¡ Can you stop being in a daze? I¡¯m about to start the ss.¡± ¡°Oh right, okay.¡± Strong Bro snapped back to reality and walked toward the door with a confused look on his face. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, shall we start the ss?¡± Chen Sheng turned his head and looked at the students. ¡°Instructor!¡± But just then, Another arm was raised among the crowd. It was the strongest new student among them, the buzz-cut youth. He stared intently at Chen Sheng, his eyes filled with obsessive fighting spirit. ¡°Instructor, I¡¯d like you to demonstrate one more time..¡± Chapter 45 - 44: Requesting Battle and Beating Up Liu Ming Chapter 45: Chapter 44: Requesting Battle and Beating Up Liu Ming Trantor: 549690339 The buzz-cut youth was named Liu Ming. Originally a criminal police officer in Jincheng District of Quanjiang City, he became interested in this new world after awakening as a Qi sensor half a month ago, and thus applied to join the Wu¡¯an Bureau voluntarily. Among the new recruits at Wu¡¯an Bureau, he was the most powerful and had the best talent. In the power ranking assessment, he was designated as an Eight-rank peak Qi sensor, just one step away from the Seventh-rank. Since joining the Wu¡¯an Bureau, he had never encountered an evenly matched opponent. They were either like Li Chenghu, whopletely overwhelmed him with their power. Or like Xu Rou, a crazy woman who fought as if she didn¡¯t care for her life. Thinking about this, Liu Ming turned to look at Xu Rou. Seeing her glowing eyes fixated on Chen Sheng, she looked like a harmless little fangirl. He felt a chill run down his spine. But he quickly refocused on Chen Sheng, quietly awaiting his response. To be able to defeat a Tenth level Qi sensor in one blow. Chen Sheng¡¯s strength had sessfully sparked hisbative spirit. He wanted to personally test Chen Sheng¡¯s physical strength and see how much more powerful the martial arts that Chen Sheng had learned werepared to the techniques they had learned. ¡°I don¡¯t see why not¡¡± Facing Liu Ming¡¯s eager gaze, Chen Sheng pondered for a brief moment before giving his answer. Liu Ming immediately stepped out of the row and came before Chen Sheng. This move once again attracted the attention of the surrounding students. The students who were carrying Wang Dazhuang, seeing this, hurriedly dumped him and returned to the sidelines to watch the confrontation. When Chen Sheng had just defeated Wang Dazhuang, everything happened too fast, they didn¡¯t have a chance to gauge Chen Sheng¡¯s power level. Now that Liu Ming was making a move, they were naturally quite interested. ¡°My name is Liu Ming, I¡¯ve learned militarybat, boxing, and grappling.¡± ¡°Please do not hold back, Instructor.¡± With these words, the look of battle readiness in Liu Ming¡¯s eyes was on the brink of overflowing. That being said, he slowly pulled back his right foot and ced his arms in front of his chest in a position that somewhat resembled boxing. A sharp momentum rose from Liu Ming¡¯s body. ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing the other party¡¯s serious demeanor, Chen Sheng put on a serious face and assumed the Three-Body Technique stance. Neither of them initiated the attack first. However, for some reason, the onlookers felt the atmosphere grow increasingly tense; they were so cautious that they were even cautious with their breathing. Finally, after two or three seconds. Liu Ming couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. With a bang, his figure shot out, instantly closing in on Chen Sheng. So fast! Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze hardened, and he became fully alert. At the same time, he suddenly heard a breaking air sound from his left. Liu Ming¡¯s fist was turning into a shadow, aiming at Chen Sheng¡¯s cheek. The fist arrived before the man. Just as Liu Ming was about tond his fist on his face, Chen Sheng calmly lifted his left hand to block Liu Ming¡¯s attack. Thud! A dull impact sounded. Chen Sheng frowned, feeling a sharp pain in his arm, barely able to maintain his guard. Faster than him, stronger than him. Chen Sheng quickly estimated Liu Ming¡¯s power, which was around 2.8 to 2.9, even higher than Shi Jian¡¯s. But he wasn¡¯t flustered by this. He had killed Fifth-order Covert Strength Martial Artists before. He was even less afraid of a mere Eighth Stage Qi Sensor. In the past few days, after several sparring sessions with Shi Jian, Chen Sheng had realized that even though his strength attribute wasn¡¯t as high as Shi Jian¡¯s at the time, he was no less resilient or enduring than Shi Jian. Moreover, in terms of agility attribute-rted nerve reflexes, body coordination, and senses, he was even better than Shi Jian. In other words, when facing Qi sensors whose power difference wasn¡¯t too great, Chen Sheng¡¯s other two attributes were his advantages. With this thought in mind, Chen Sheng, who had just blocked Liu Ming¡¯s first attack, quickly thrust his right arm toward Liu Ming¡¯s elbow joint. Feeling the imminent danger, Liu Ming immediately tried to withdraw his arm, while his left hand clenched into a fist, aiming a lightning-fast punch toward the exposed area of Chen Sheng¡¯s abdomen. But at that moment, p! Chen Sheng¡¯s left hand moved up effortlessly, instantly catching Liu Ming¡¯s withdrawing arm. Not good! Liu Ming cursed inwardly. Before he could react, he saw a slight smirk on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Following that, Chen Sheng gave a hard tug! Liu Ming¡¯s body instantly leaned to the left. And Chen Sheng¡¯s fist that was originally aimed at his elbow joint also changed direction ordingly. The Splitting Fist spawns the Drilling Punch. The target is¡ the lower jaw! In a precarious situation, Liu Ming can only abandon the attack, deviate his body at the same time, avoiding the fatal point. At the critical moment, Chen Sheng also pulls back some strength, not to seriously injure Liu Ming. Bang! Thud Thud Thud. Liu Ming retreats three steps in a row. At this moment, his cheek is swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is as if he had half a pig¡¯s head. ¡°Instructor, I¡¯m struggling a bit.¡± ¡°You can use a bit more force too, it¡¯ll be alright.¡± But Liu Ming forces a grimacing smile, resolutely not admitting defeat verbally. He has a reason for saying so. Although he took a punch to the face from Chen Sheng, he could clearly feel that the other¡¯s strength was not as great as his own. Under this premise, as long as he exchanged punches with the other, he could win! With this thought, Liu Ming was suddenly full of confidence. Upon hearing this, Chen Shengughed. Subsequently, he withdrew his pose. Could it be that the other party also found out that his physical strength was not as great as his own and was now nning on conceding? Just as Liu Ming frowned and was about to speak, ¡°Since it¡¯s like this, I guess I should also be serious.¡± With that, Chen Sheng took off his coat. Revealing the weighted vest he wore underneath. Holy Shit?! Not just Liu Ming, nearly everyone present widened their eyes in shock when they saw this scene. Instructor Chen, until now, had actually been always wearing weighted gear?? Bang! The weighted vest heavily hit the ground, causing a dull thud. The eyelids of everyone present jumped at the sound. Following that, were the weighted bracelets and the weighted straps. Another two dull thuds. Chen Sheng jumped slightly in ce, feeling his body be significantly lighter. Having weighted gear on slowed down his movements and bodily reactions somewhat. Now, he could fully unleash his strength. ¡°Let¡¯s go again.¡± Liu Ming unconsciously swallowes. ¡°Oh¡okay.¡± The next second, Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, a shadow enveloped him from above. The strong wind hit him in the face. Chen Sheng had already pressed forward, his arms swung down with force, aiming straight at Liu Ming¡¯s neck! ¡°The Xingyi Five Elements Fist, contains the five elements¡¯ variations.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s attacks came like a violent storm, forcing Liu Ming to keep defending. ¡°Between each move, they generate each other and ovee each other. If used correctly, they can catch the enemy off guard.¡± Bang! Chen Sheng continued fighting during his exnation. A Splitting Fist hit Liu Ming¡¯s shoulder, causing him to lose bnce. He could only retreat quickly to distance himself. ¡°In martial arts, there are three levels of understanding: Light Energy, Hidden Energy, and Transforming Power. Now, let me demonstrate Light Energy.¡± Chen Sheng was aggressively pushing forward. Liu Ming had yet to fully adjust his body when the next attack arrived. ¡°Four hundred and eighty-fiverge tendons, two hundred six bones, twisting all the strength in my body.¡± ¡°I can¡ make a loud sound with a punch!¡± Pop! A Cannon Fist heavily hit the abdomen. Liu Ming followed the footsteps of Wang Dazhuang, flying into midair. In the end, with a bang, he heavily fell. Thankfully, his body was much stronger than Wang Dazhuang¡¯s, so he didn¡¯t pass out directly. But even so, Liu Mingy on the ground, continually dry heaving. Chen Sheng slowly retracted his fist, and smiled at the students around him. ¡°Everyone, are you interested in martial arts now?¡± Chapter 46 - 45: Xu Rou and the Mysterious Pendant Chapter 46: Chapter 45: Xu Rou and the Mysterious Pendant Trantor: 549690339 Under Chen Sheng¡¯s personal demonstration. The neers at the Wu¡¯an Bureau suddenly became deeply interested in martial arts. After Chen Sheng finished speaking, they immediately formed a team. Even Liu Ming on the ground, and Wang Dazhuang who had awakened from hisa, endured the pain and stood back in line. ¡°Hello, Instructor!¡± Liu Ming shouted first. In his eyes, there was no more disdain towards Chen Sheng, only respect. Respect for the strong. ¡°Hello, Instructor!!!¡± Everyone stood tall and bowed to Chen Sheng together. This time, it was not to intimidate him. But sincerely, hoping that Chen Sheng could teach them. ¡°Good.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve learned Xingyi Fist, and now I¡¯m going to teach you the basics of Xingyi Fist, the Three -Body Technique.¡± Having said that, he began to teach the neers at the Wu¡¯an Bureau. ¡®What kind of monster is this kid?¡± Outside the door, Strong Bro¡¯s expression was still somewhat dazed. Of all the people Chen Sheng knew, He was the only one who had seen Chen Sheng, in just under two weeks¡¯ time, Go from being a skinny weakling to a Light Energy Warrior. Such progress was simply unheard of. Even for those with better Qi-sensing talents than Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng was undoubtedly the best in martial arts talent among the people he had met. At that moment, Strong Bro thought of Li Xingwu. He didn¡¯t think highly of Chen Sheng¡¯s Qi-sensing talent and wasn¡¯t willing to ept him as a direct disciple. He even made up an excuse and kicked Chen Sheng out of the Martial Arts Hall. ¡°Blind. ¡± Strong Bro scoffed and shook his head as he walked away. Over the next few days, Chen Sheng¡¯s teaching went very smoothly. Since it was the first day of learning, he only taught the simplest Three-Body Technique, intending to teach the Five Elements Fist the next day. During thest hour, The students took the initiative to request a sparring session with Chen Sheng, hoping to experience martial arts firsthand. Chen Sheng agreed happily. However, besides Liu Ming, only Xu Rou could exchange a few moves with him. The experience was far from good. In the end, At Chen Sheng¡¯s suggestion, It went from one-on-one to one-on-three. When the sparring began, his pressure increased sharply, and he had to maintain a highly focused state to defend against the attacks of three students. Yet the results were surprisingly good. The students could not only see the more intuitive changes and mysteries of the Five Elements Fist, After several sparring sessions, Chen Sheng was also pleasantly surprised to find that his agility attribute had risen by 0.13 points. It could be said that his unintentional efforts had paid off. ¡°Goodbye, Instructor!¡± ¡°see you tomorrow.¡± After the teaching ended, Chen Sheng left the training ground. In the training ground, many of the new people did not disperse immediately but continued to discuss the essentials of the Three-Body Technique enthusiastically. ¡°Xiao Rou, am I practicing this right?¡± At this time, A female student beside Xu Rou struck a pose and asked. During the martial arts learning process just now, Xu Rou had been the most active and her pose was the most standard. But after the female student asked, she didn¡¯t get a reply from Xu Rou for a long time. She looked up and saw Xu Rou staring nkly at the direction where Chen Sheng had left. ¡°Yo, our little Rou has fallen head over heels!¡± She teased. ¡°No, no.¡± On hearing this, Xu Rou came back to her senses, her face red and waving her hands repeatedly. ¡°I just wanted to add Instructor Chen on WeChat so that I can ask him about martial arts privately.¡± ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Why don¡¯t you run after him?¡± ¡°You were on dutyst night, now isn¡¯t it a good time to get off work and walk with Instructor Chen?¡± Upon hearing this, Xu Rou came to her senses. She didn¡¯t even say goodbye to her friends, and immediately stood up and jogged outside. ¡°Honestly, if you like someone, just go for it. No need for excuses.¡± The female student didn¡¯t believe a word of Xu Rou¡¯s exnation. She pouted her lips and took advantage of the fact that it was not yet the afternoon working hours to practice the Three-Body Technique a bit more. Inside the Wu¡¯an Bureau. As Chen Sheng walked towards the main gate, he took out his phone and informed Li Chenghu that he was leaving. Before he could even say a word, Li Chenghu directly sent him a transfer of one thousand yuan. [Qingfeng Xi: ??? Master, is your Wu¡¯an Bureau really that wealthy?] Chen Sheng used to work twelve hours a day, with only three days off a month, for a sry of just six thousand yuan. Compared to now, making one thousand yuan in just four hours seemed almost unreal to him. [Tiger Roams the World: Our Wu¡¯an Bureau is not some capital enterprise, and you are a technical worker. Having a higher sry is very normal, isn¡¯t it?] [If you were a formal employee, the benefits would be much more than the sry.] Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng was somewhat tempted. However, after thinking about it for a moment, Let alone the various requirements for joining the Wu¡¯an Bureau. In terms of strength alone, he felt far from qualified. He didn¡¯t want to find himself dead on arrival, which would be quiteedic. With this in mind, Chen Sheng gave up the idea of joining the Wu¡¯an Bureau. After chatting a bit more with Li Chenghu, Chen Sheng received the transfer, put away his phone, and headed outside the Wu¡¯an Bureau. At the entrance, ¡°Instructor!¡± Chen Sheng was about to go to the gym when he suddenly heard a shout from behind him. Turning his head, The person was Xu Rou. She was not wearing the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s uniform but had changed into a light green cheongsam that entuated her curvaceous figure. Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze suddenly became somewhat unfocused. Xu Rou ran up to Chen Sheng. ¡°Instructor¡ um, I have a question about the Three-Body Technique.¡± As she spoke, Xu Rou lowered her head, her hands behind her back, constantly rubbing her fingers together. Her eyes were also shifting left and right. She appeared to be somewhat nervous. However, After Xu Rou finished speaking and quietly waited for a while, She still didn¡¯t get any response from Chen Sheng. Feeling puzzled, she looked up only to find that Chen Sheng was staring straight at her chest. ¡°What¡ what¡¯s wrong, Instructor?¡± A trace of blush appeared on Xu Rou¡¯s fair cheeks. She quickly lowered her head to check if there was anything dirty on her clothes. From their few previous interactions, she didn¡¯t think Chen Sheng would be disrespectful, so she didn¡¯t jump to any conclusions. ¡°Can I take a look at that?¡± Chen Sheng raised his hand and pointed. ¡°Are you talking about this?¡± Xu Rou pinched the pendant on her chest. The pendant had a very peculiar design, with an outer braided rattan wood ball. Through the gaps, one could clearly see a green fluorescent stone ced inside. Chen Sheng nodded nkly. From the moment he first saw Xu Rou, He felt a powerful attraction emanating from her. Once Xu Rou approached, Chen Sheng realized that the attraction came from the pendant on her chest. What puzzled Chen Sheng even more, Was the abnormality in his panel. At this moment, the panel automatically surfaced in his vision, trembling continuously. ¡°I found this at a flea market two months ago, and I thought it was pretty, so I bought it.¡± As she said that, ¡°Here.¡± Without any suspicion, Xu Rou removed the pendant from her neck. As Chen Sheng took the pendant handed to him, The next second, Hiss- Chen Sheng felt a burning sensation in his palm, apanied by a faint sizzling sound. The sudden pain Caused Chen Sheng¡¯s hand to subconsciously tremble, and the pendant fell to the ground. ¡°Instructor, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Xu Rou looked worriedly at Chen Sheng. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, nothing.¡± The pain disappeared momentarily. Chen Sheng bent down and picked up the pendant. It was then that, He found the stone inside the pendant had lost its luster. Chen Sheng was confused. But to avoid arousing Xu Rou¡¯s suspicion, he pretended that nothing happened. ¡°Thank you, Xu Rou, I will definitely repay this favor.¡± Chen Sheng thanked her again. However, Just as he looked at Xu Rou, A new change appeared before him. A new panel appeared in his vision.. Chapter 47 - 47: 46: An Jin and the Eye of True View Chapter 47: Chapter 46: An Jin and the Eye of True View Trantor: 549690339 [Xu Rou] [Strength: 2.62] [Agility: 1.51] [Constitution: 2.23] [Skills: Basic Fighting LVI, Calligraphy LV2 ¡ ] This suddenly appearing panel disyed Xu Rou¡¯s attribute data. Chen Sheng was about to examine it, But just then, A sudden burst of severe pain swept through his mind. With a thud, Chen Sheng instinctively let out a mournful cry, his body dropping to his knees on the ground. ¡°Coach Chen, what¡¯s wrong with you?!¡± Xu Rou paled in shock, squatting down to check on Chen Sheng¡¯s condition. But Chen Sheng continued to hold his head and did not respond to her inquiries. Just as Xu Rou was about to call the hospital, ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, my head just suddenly hurt.¡± Chen Sheng held his head and slowly stood up from the ground. Tiny beads of sweat densely covered his forehead. ¡°I didn¡¯t get enough restst night and suddenly had a headache.¡± After exining, seeing that Xu Rou was still worried about him, Chen Sheng quickly changed the topic. ¡°Oh, you just came to me to ask about the Three-Body Technique, right?¡± ¡°No, no, Coach, you should rest, we can talk about it tomorrow.¡± Xu Rou waved her hands in dismissal. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t seem to be in good shape, so she didn¡¯t dare to bother him anymore. ¡°In that case, add me on WeChat, and you can ask me any questions anytime.¡± By a stroke of luck, Xu Rou finally got Chen Sheng to add her on WeChat. ¡°Coach, are you sure you don¡¯t want me to take you to the hospital?¡± But she still worried about Chen Sheng¡¯s health. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll be fine after resting at home.¡± Chen Sheng desperately wanted to find a ce without people to examine the changes in the panel. ¡°Send me a WeChat message if you need anything, I¡¯ll reply.¡± He pointed to his phone and waved goodbye to Xu Rou. With that, Chen Sheng gradually left. Only when Chen Sheng disappeared from sight did Xu Rou shift her gaze to her own phone. ¡°Great!¡± She looked at Chen Sheng¡¯s name in her friends list, feeling very excited. She opened her Notes app. In the Notes, lines of questions about martial arts were listed one by one, which Xu Rou had encountered since learning martial arts. There were dozens of them. ¡°Hmm¡ I¡¯ll askter at night.¡± After much consideration, to avoid being too forward, Xu Rou decided to ask her questions gradually. This little girl, Was actually just a simple martial idiot. She even forgot that her pendant was still in Chen Sheng¡¯s possession. The Wu¡¯an Bureau was about nine kilometers away from the gym. Half an hourter. In the VIP room of the gym. Chen Sheng was about to check the panel, When he suddenly remembered, He had just taken the little girl¡¯s pendant without even asking. He took the pendant out of his pocket, The stone inside hadpletely lost its luster. Giving it back now would probably raise suspicions. After much consideration, Chen Sheng decided to ask Xu Router if he could buy the pendant with money. If that didn¡¯t work, he would have topensate her in some other way. He opened the Panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 2.5] [Agility: 3.15] [Constitution: 2.84] [Skills: Eye of True View Lvo (This skill cannot be actively upgraded but will continue to enhance as attributes increase)] [Skill Points: 4-58] The changes in the panel were too vast. Most notably, The agility attribute had experienced an unprecedented huge increase, surpassing both strength and constitution. Chen Sheng had expected this. The reason for his headache earlier was because the countless sounds around him suddenly amplified several times and exploded in his mind. On the way to the gym, Chen Sheng experienced sensory inputs that he had never had before.bender He could smell every passer-by¡¯s body odor, And hear their breath and heartbeat. He could see the fine hair on the surface of their skin. And when Chen Sheng concentrated, he even felt that the time around him seemed to slow down. Everything in his field of view seemed to be in slow motion yback. Such a massive change. It might not just be due to the increase in agility attribute. Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze shifted downwards,nding on the newly appeared skill in the skill column. [Eye of True View Lvo (Light Energy Realm, Breaking Illusions, Discerning Spirits, Judging Life and Death, See Past and Future)] The introduction of the new skill wasn¡¯t as straightforward as Breaking Limits. It simply described the five stages of the Eye of True View. Regardless of the slow-motion during focused attention, or the attribute panel seen when observing others, it might be all because of the Eye of True View. And this, is the effect brought by the Eye of True View while still at level o. ¡°What exactly is that stone¡?¡± Chen Sheng murmured to himself. Just one stone gave him such a powerful skill. ¡°Breaking Limits, Eye of True View¡¡± The names of these skills seemed to be part of a series. The potential of the panel might be far beyond Chen Sheng¡¯s imagination. With this in mind, Chen Sheng, who had finished examining the changes in the panel, suddenly felt full of energy. He closed the panel and immediately began today¡¯s training. After the training, Chen Sheng returned home, as usual, stewed the Vitality Soup, and practiced the Three-Body Technique at night. Night. After a whole day of training. Chen Sheng sat at the edge of the balcony, recovering his strength while looking down at the wooden house below. The wooden house was pitch ck inside. When he came back today, he had heard people in Wutong Vige discussing. It was said that the deserted graves nearby had been dug up by someone. Hearing this news, Chen Sheng felt numb. It turned out that Shen Ziming¡¯s previous appearance as a good old man, going to sweep the graves every day, was actually for grave digging. But all this had nothing to do with him anymore. He was toozy to bother with it any further. Chen Sheng shook his head, sweeping the messy thoughts out of his mind. Feeling that his strength had recovered enough, Chen Sheng jumped down from the edge of the balcony. Hended gently on the ground. Summoning the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 3.02] [Agility: 3-39] [Constitution: 3.01] [Three-Body Stance LV2: 72/5000] [Xingyi Five Elements Fist LVI: 69/2000] [Skill Points: 5.61] All attributes had broken through the three-point barrier. At this point, Chen Sheng was stronger than ever before. It was time to break through to the next level of the hidden energy stage. With that thought in mind, Chen Sheng focused his attention on the Five Elements Fist. Upgrade! [Xingyi Five Elements Fist LV2: 69/5000] In an instant, Countless muscle memories surged into his body. Chen Sheng closed his eyes, savoring the changes in his body carefully. One minuteter, He opened his eyes again, his expression extremely serious. Chen Sheng slowly began practicing the Five Elements Fist. His movements were slow, but he could feel that not only his muscles, but also every tendon, organ, and viscera were working together with his body, making every punch and kick more powerful. At first, Each punch from Chen Sheng would cause a loud explosion in the air. This was a manifestation of Light Energy. Gradually, the sound disappeared. But Chen Sheng¡¯s every move became more and more powerful. His practicing speed was getting faster and faster. Swish! Swish! Whoosh! The sound of his fists cutting through the air became more piercing. Chen Sheng felt an energy within him, eager to burst out. Finally, Bang! Chen Sheng punched the wall. He withdrew his fist, leaving a deep imprint on the wall. Inside the imprint, there were densely packed, needle-sized holes. Hidden energy, had been achieved.. Chapter 48 - 48: 47: The Attack and the Forced Apology Chapter 48: Chapter 47: The Attack and the Forced Apology Trantor: 549690339 His strength took another big step forward. Chen Sheng¡¯s heart was filled with joy. He took a deep breath and went inside to take a shower. 10 minutester, Chen Sheng came out of the bathroom. He looked at the clothes on his body and couldn¡¯t help but make a sound. With the constant growth of his body attributes. His figure was no longer as slender as before, and even his height had grown a little. The clothes that were loose before now fit like skin-tight clothes on his body. ¡°I have to spend money again.¡± In the room, Chen Sheng sighed deeply while sitting on the bed. He reluctantly opened an online shopping mall and began to choose clothes for himself. To ensure that he could wear them for a long time, he boughtrger sizes. In time, even if his body underwent changes, it would not be too tight.bender Half an hourter, After buying clothes, Chen Shengy in bed, still feeling a little mncholic. ¡°I won¡¯t be a muscle maniac if this keeps up, will I?¡± When he thought about the physique of the bodybuilders he¡¯d seen in the past. Just the thought of such muscles appearing on his own body¡ Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but shiver. ¡°That won¡¯t happen. That won¡¯t happen.¡± ¡°Muscles can¡¯t grow infinitely.¡± Chen Shengforted himself. Soon, He fell asleep. In the dark room, Faint snoring sounded. The next day. After eating breakfast, Chen Sheng began to put on weighted gear. Now, merely adding 10 kilograms of weight no longer met Chen Sheng¡¯s needs. Only after increasing it to 20 kilograms did the familiar heaviness return. Ready to go, Chen Sheng went straight downstairs, preparing to go to the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng arrived smoothly. ¡°Hello, Instructor!¡± After their first encounter yesterday, the new students truly admired Chen Sheng¡¯s strength and martial arts skills. Therefore, As soon as Chen Sheng entered the training ground, they quickly gathered, puffed out their chests, and greeted him loudly. ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± Chen Sheng smiled and nodded in response. ¡°Let¡¯s get started then.¡± After saying that, Chen Sheng had the students adopt the Three-Body Technique stance, examined them, and then prepared to teach the Five Elements Fist. At the same time, At the other side of the Wu¡¯an Bureau, in Li Chenghu¡¯s office. Bang! ¡°Are you trying to pull a face at me?!¡± Li Xingwu was standing in front of Li Chenghu¡¯s office desk, pping the tabletop hard with his palm. Behind him stood his three direct disciples. However , Unlike in the past, Wu Ran, Li Xingwu¡¯s most treasured genius disciple, now had bandages wrapped around his arm and neck. Even the usually arrogant Li Qian had a somewhat dazed look on her face. ¡°My disciple was attacked in my own home.¡± ¡°What kind ot team leader are you?!¡± Li Xingwu red fiercely, pounding the table loudly. Last night, three Transformation Realm fighters sneaked into Xingwu Gym and attacked Wu Ran, attempting to get the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique from him. Fortunately, Wu Ran¡¯s strength was sufficient, and he was not subdued immediately, managing to hold out until Li Xingwu arrived. But even so, just the thought of it made Li Xingwu feel a chill. What if more Transformation Realm fighters, or even Entering Realm Martial artists, came next time? What would they do? All his hope was ced on Wu Ran, and he would not allow anything to go wrong. So not long after daybreak, he brought his three direct disciples to the Wu¡¯an Bureau, hoping that Li Chenghu would send some people to station at the Xingwu Gym. But obviously, this was impossible. Facing Li Xingwu¡¯s aggressive attitude, Li Chenghu was not the least bit submissive. He also stood up, looking at Li Xingwu with cold eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before that someone was looking for the Breathing Technique? I told you to be careful.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I also ask if you wanted me to take them to my ce?¡± ¡°You¡¯re awful. You said you were afraid I wanted to take your Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, and you just kicked my disciple out of the Martial Arts Hall, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Now you know toe find me?¡± Li Chenghu¡¯s words left Li Xingwu speechless, his face flushed red. Previously, Li Chenghu had indeed advised him to move to the Wu¡¯an Bureau Family Building, as it would be more convenient for assistance in the case of any emergencies. However, at the time, he thought that the other party was merely trying to find an opportunity to obtain the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique to teach Chen Sheng. ¡°You better not use your disciple as an excuse.¡± ¡°If he really had talent, I wouldn¡¯t mind taking him as one of my direct disciples.¡± ¡°But with his level of talent, can I afford to waste time and resources on him, when he wouldn¡¯t be able to confront the Heavenly Person who killed your sister?¡± ¡°Everything I do is to avenge your sister!¡± Seeing that his reasoning could not prevail, Li Xingwu yed the sentiment card. When the topic turned to Li Chenghu¡¯s sister, Li Qian¡¯s mother, All the people present, except Wu Ran, were visibly moved. Li Chenghu hesitated for a long time. Finally, he just sighed silently. He sat back on his chair. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for us at the Wu¡¯an Bureau to dispatch manpower to protect you.¡± ¡°We¡¯re a state department, not your private security team.¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, our manpower is already severely insufficient for just capturing wanted criminals. ¡± At this point, Without waiting for Li Xingvvu¡¯s response , He changed the subject. ¡°However, ¡± ¡°My previous words still stand.¡± ¡°You can move in with me.¡± ¡°At the very least, you won¡¯t have to worry about being attacked here.¡± Seeing Li Chenghu soften his tone, Li Xingwu considered it for a while. Finally, he nodded in agreement. ¡°Fine. ¡± ¡°But, when you find those people, I want to go with you to apprehend them.¡± ¡°I must know who is coveting the secrets of my Xingyi Fist.¡± Upon hearing this, Li Chenghu scoffed and didn¡¯t even bother to say any more to Li Xingwu. He waved his hand, issuing an order to clear out. ¡°I¡¯ll have someone contact you, so stop bothering me here.¡± Seeing this, Li Xingwu didn¡¯t want to say anything more either. He turned around and patted Wu Ran on the shoulder, giving him a reassuring look before, Leading the way out the door. ¡°Wait!¡± But at this moment, Li Chenghu stopped them again. ¡°One more thing.¡± ¡°Xiaoqian, Chen Sheng is my disciple, your junior.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t like your attitude towards him that day.¡± ¡°You must apologize to Chen Sheng.¡± Whoosh! Hearing this, Not only Li Qian, but even Li Xingwu was stunned, looking at Li Chenghu. ¡°Uncle, are you joking?! ¡± ¡®Why should I apologize to him? What is he?¡± Originally, after experiencing the incident the night before, Li Qian¡¯s memory of her family members being killed had been awakened, and she was still a bit dazed. But upon hearing Li Chenghu¡¯s demand for an apology, Li Qian immediately felt a great humiliation and shouted out in discontent. ¡°Xiaoqian is your niece!¡± ¡°Li Chenghu, are you siding with outsiders to bully your family?¡± Even Li Xingwu scolded with a frown. However, As soon as his words were spoken. Bang!!! Li Chenghu mmed the tabletop heavily and stood up abruptly. ¡°He is my disciple, and I am his master!¡± ¡°To me, he¡¯s family, and I will stand up for him!¡± ¡°I say this at most one more time.¡± ¡°Apologize to Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Otherwise, don¡¯t bother asking for my help.¡± Li Chenghu said, with an irond certainty. If it wasn¡¯t for Li Xingvvu¡¯s temper, Li Chenghu would have even tried to make him apologize to Chen Sheng. However, Li Xingwu is Li Chenghu¡¯s father, and after all, his elder. No matter how unhappy Li Chenghu was, he couldn¡¯t do anything to him. At the very least, as someone of the same generation, Li Qian had to apologize.. Chapter 49 - 48: Apologizing and Seducing Li Qjan Chapter 49: Chapter 48: Apologizing and Seducing Li Qjan Trantor: 549690339 ¡°You¡ª¡± Li Xingwu seemed to be quite angry, pointing at Li Chenghu with trembling fingers. Li Qian¡¯s face became more and more unpleasant. Since the incident at her home, Li Xingwu had indulged her in every way since taking her into the Martial Arts Hall. Li Qian¡¯s character became increasingly perverse. Now, Li Chenghu wanted her to apologize to Chen Sheng, a person she despised. It was even more ufortable than killing her. She immediately wanted to refute again. But at this moment, Guo Yang, who had been silent, suddenly stood up. He looked at Li Chenghu and showed a humble smile. ¡°That day, Junior Sister¡¯s behavior was indeed inappropriate and showed some disrespect to Junior Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Please rest assured, Uncle Li, I will apologize with Junior Sister.¡± As soon as his words finished, Li Qian frowned and wanted to burst out. But she was directly grabbed by Guo Yang¡¯s wrist and secretly winked at her. Under Guo Yang¡¯s gaze, Li Qian eventually shook off his hand and didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Ah Sheng is in the training ground behind, you can see him if you go there,¡± ¡°I hope you¡¯ll keep your words.¡± Li Chenghu stared closely at Guo Yang, with an aura of intimidating without being angry. However, Guo Yang didn¡¯t seem affected at all and just nodded with a smile. ¡°Please rest assured, Uncle Li. As for Li Xingwu, seeing himself disciple providing a step-down for everyone, he couldn¡¯t continue to be angry. He snorted coldly and walked outside. Leaving the office, the four of them gradually moved forward. ¡°You go and apologize if you want, I won¡¯t!¡± As soon as they were away from the office, Li Qian said with a cold face. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± ¡°You are only alive today due to Master protecting you with his indulgence.¡± ¡°However, if we continue to live in the Xingyi Association, and something happens to Master, no one will protect you.¡± ¡°So please, be a little more sensible, okay?¡± Guo Yang squinted his eyes. But Li Qian could still see the chill within them through the slits of his eyelids. Li Qian¡¯s breathing stagnated, she immediately looked at Li Xingwu, hoping he would speak up for her. to ner disappointment, Li Xingwu also began to persuade her. ¡°Xiao Qian,¡± ¡°As long as we can endure this period, and once your Wu Ran junior brother achieves great things in the Martial Arts Conference, you three will be able to drink Spirit Medicine every day, and your strength will soar.¡± ¡°What does Chen Sheng count for?¡± ¡°An insignificant character destined to be left behind by you, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to deal with her in the future.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be concerned about the temporary gains and losses.¡± In the end, Under the temptation of Spirit Medicine, Li Qian reluctantly nodded her head. ¡°Guo Yang, follow your Junior Sister and keep an eye on her.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you with Wu Ran at the entrance.¡± Li Xingwu gave a look. It meant that Guo Yang should watch Li Qian and not let her make any rash actions. After saying that, He looked at Wu Ran. Wu Ran had beenposed from the beginning to the end, showing no response to what just happened. This kind of mindset was a sign of great talent. Li Xingwu¡¯s eyes showed a trace of relief, and then he left with Wu Ran towards the outside of the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Guo Yang led Li Qian towards the building in the back. ¡°Junior Sister, you don¡¯t need to be too formal.¡± ¡°Just say sorry casually. On the ount of Uncle Li, would Junior Brother Chen embarrass you?¡± On the way, Guo Yangforted Li Qian. But Li Qian remained nomittal, her face dark as she seemed to be lost in thought about something. Wu¡¯an Bureau, training ground. ¡°Instructor, my Five Elements Fist¡ ¡± ¡°My Three ¨C Body Technique¡¡± During break time, Liu Ming and several other neers surrounded Chen Sheng, asking him to guide their movements again. Chen Sheng was not impatient, After guiding them one by one, he came to Xu Rou¡¯s side. ¡°Xu Rou, I¡¯m sorry about yesterday, I took your pendant.¡± ¡°I was wondering if I could buy it. If so, name your price.¡± Although Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t have much money, he didn¡¯t want to deceive Xu Rou with any excuses, so he could only ask if she was willing to sell. Even if the price was high, he would ept it. After all, the improvement that the pendant brought him was significant. While saying that, Chen Sheng took out his phone, ready to transfer the money to Xu Rou. ¡°No need, no need.¡± Xu Rou was originally thinking about the new Five Elements Fist she learned and was startled by Chen Sheng¡¯s voice, she waved her hands repeatedly. ¡°The cheap ones are fine, the instructor can just take them.¡± ¡°How could I¡¡± Thump, thump. Chen Sheng was bargaining back and forth with Xu Rou. But their conversation was interrupted by a knocking sound. Chen Sheng looked back, and his smile disappeared as soon as he saw the person, his eyebrows furrowed. Guo Yang was standing at the door, knocking on the training ground¡¯s door with his knuckles. Behind him, Li Qian had a gloomy face. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, how have you been?¡± Guo Yang acted like they were old friends. As if hepletely forgot that he threatened Chen Sheng two days ago. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Sheng expressionlessly looked at Guo Yang. He had no good feelings for the two in front of him. Just being able to talk to them calmly now was only for the sake of Li Chenghu¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s like this, Junior Brother Chen,¡± Guo Yang stepped forward, intending to put his arm around Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder. Chen Sheng stepped back, avoiding him, and continued to look at him expressionlessly. It was strange. If it was Chen Sheng two days ago, even if he disliked the two, he wouldn¡¯t show it so explicitly. But now, he just felt extremely annoyed and wished the two could disappear from his sight immediately. At this moment, the new members of the Wu¡¯an Bureau on the training ground also noticed the tension and stopped to watch. Guo Yang was not embarrassed, he justughed and continued speaking. ¡°That day at the Martial Arts Hall, we were quite rude to Junior Brother Chen.¡± ¡°So today, I specially brought Junior Sister Li to apologize.¡± As he spoke, Guo Yang pulled Li Qian in front of him. Li Qian finally looked at Chen Sheng. The disgust in the depths of her eyes was unabashed. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out for a long time. ¡°Junior Sister?¡± It wasn¡¯t until Guo Yang¡¯s urging from behind that Li Qian slowly squeezed out three words from between her teeth. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± As she apologized, Li Qian¡¯s hands clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh. Compared to her bearing humiliation, Chen Sheng appeared much more indifferent. He only gave a light hum, then turned around, ready to continue chatting with Xu Rou. If it were up to him, he would never ept the apology from the other party. But after all, she was Li Chenghu¡¯s niece, and Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to make a big deal of it. Hmm? Hmm?! Behind Chen Sheng, Li Qian¡¯s eves widened. She had finally gathered the courage to apologize to Chen Sheng, and all he did was respond with a hum?! ¡°I¡¯m apologizing to you!¡± In an instant, Li Qian¡¯s face turned dark and gloomy. She stared fixedly at Chen Sheng¡¯s back and emphasized once again. ¡°I don¡¯t ept it, you can leave now.¡± Chen Sheng turned around, waving his hand impatiently. If it were before, he would never speak so bluntly. But at this moment, in the depths of Chen Sheng¡¯s heart, a faint anticipation arose. It was this anticipation that drove him to say something that provoked Li Qian. As expected. As soon as the words came out, it was as if a pair of scissors, instantly cut the string in Li Qian¡¯s mind that represented rationality. ¡°You¡¯re courting death! !!! ! ¡± Her eyes instantly turned red, and she raised her hand, ruthlessly pping her palm toward Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Seeing this, Guo Yang hurriedly tried to stop her. His own junior sister was really stupid. If this p reallynded, it would be difficult to exin to Li Chenghu. However, what neither Li Qian nor Guo Yang expected was, Chen Sheng¡¯s reaction far exceeded their expectations. ¡°You¡¯re the one courting death!!!!¡± A p, heavier and faster than Li Qian¡¯s,nded on her cheek. p! !!!! Apanied by a crisp sound, Li Qian¡¯s body flew out sideways.. Chapter 50 - 49 Threat and Adjusting Attitude Chapter 50: Chapter 49 Threat and Adjusting Attitude Trantor: 549690339 [Li Qian] [Strength: 3-52] [Agility: 2.26] [Constitution: 3.06] Even before taking action, Chen Sheng had already seen Li Qian¡¯s attribute values. Weak. Really weak. This was his first reaction when he saw her attributes. It seemed that they once thought that direct disciples and Hidden Energy Warriors were difficult to match. Now it seems, that¡¯s just it. Although Chen Sheng¡¯s strength attribute is not as high as Li Qian¡¯s, his physical attribute is simr to hers, and his agility attribute is more than one-third higher. Agility attribute affects muscle burst speed, nerve response, and sensory sensitivity. That means, Chen Sheng is faster than Li Qian. Much, much faster. At the instant when Li Qian made her move, Chen Sheng¡¯s spirit was highly concentrated. In a sh, the opponent¡¯s original rapid action, in his eyes, became extremely slow. Chen Sheng made a move faster than Li Qian! His arm turned into a ghostly shadow, whipping towards Li Qian¡¯s cheek. Even the strongest on the scene, Guo Yang, couldn¡¯t stop him in time due to the sudden situation and was ultimately a step behind. p!! Li Qian¡¯s body soared into the air and spun backwards. In midair, several teeth mixed with fresh blood spurted out. Bang! Li Qian¡¯s body mmed heavily onto the ground. At the training ground, there was dead silence. Almost everyone was stunned by the sudden incident. Except for one person. Guo Yang. The smile hadpletely disappeared from his face. His long and narrow eyes narrowed. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you¡¯ve gone too far.¡± His voice was somewhat deep, with a hint of chill in it. Speaking, he took a step forward and stood in front of Chen Sheng. Guo Yang was very tall, at one point nine meters. The cold malice touched his skin, causing goosebumps. But Chen Sheng did not panic, just calmly nced at him. [Guo Yang] [Strength: 6.87] [Agility: 4-52] [Constitution: 6.72] Compared to Li Qian, Guo Yang was obviously much stronger. Aside from agility, the other two attributes are more than double that of Chen Sheng¡¯s. But even so, Chen Sheng chose to take action because he had the confidence. It¡¯s just a pity, with Guo Yang present, pping that face is the limit. If he wanted to continue beating a drowning dog, the other party would absolutely not allow it. Having thought of this, Chen Sheng slowly raised his hands and stepped back. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. ¡°I¡¯ve vented my anger.¡± ¡°Now I ept her apology.¡± ¡°Senior Brother Guo might as well take her away as soon as possible, so as not to cause more trouble.¡± However, Guo Yang did not seem to want to let things rest. After all, Li Qian was pped in front of him and was now lying motionless on the ground. He couldn¡¯t exin it if he brought her back to Li Xingwu. However , Just as Guo Yang raised his hand, seemingly about to do something, a figure stepped in between the two. It was Chen Sheng¡¯s student, Liu Ming. ¡°What do you want to do to our Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s instructor?¡± Liu Ming stared intently at Guo Yang, his threat evident. He held an inte in his right hand, his finger on the activation button, ready to call for help at any time. If the instructor takes action, it¡¯s just an ordinary martial arts contest. But if this person in front of him dares to take action, it would mean seeking trouble within the Wu¡¯an Bureau. As soon as his words fell, Guo Yang looked around. New people from the surrounding Wu¡¯an Bureau who were originally watching, all approached and surrounded him in a circle. One by one, they stared at him fiercely. ¡°Hehe.¡± Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Guo Yang quickly changed his demeanor. His momentum was withdrawn, and he returned to his gentle appearance he had at the martial arts hall. ¡°If that¡¯s the case.¡± ¡°Junior Brother Chen, we¡¯re even now.¡± Guo Yang emphasized thest three words slightly. After speaking, he turned and walked towards Li Qian lying on the ground. Picking her up, Guo Yang was silent and headed towards the exit of the training ground. ¡°Take it easy, Brother Guo.¡± Chen Sheng waved goodbye with a smile as if he hadn¡¯t noticed anything strange in his words. After they left, his smile slowly disappeared. Chen Sheng looked at his palm. The feeling of pping Li Qian just now was still fresh in his memory. ¡°What you can and cannot do depends on you.¡± Shen Ziming¡¯s words from that day echoed in his ears once more. Having power meant not being humiliated. He didn¡¯t have to put up with people he disliked and disapproved of. Was that the meaning of power? Chen Sheng suddenly clenched his fist. An excited smile appeared on his face involuntarily. This feeling¡was really great. ¡°Instructor¡ Instructor?¡± While Chen Sheng was lost in thought, a series of calls brought him back to reality. He looked up and found all the surrounding students were looking at him with concern. After two days of guidance, they had trulye to respect Chen Sheng. That¡¯s why they were standing up for him. ¡°Are you alright, instructor?¡± Their concern warmed Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. They just have a grudge against me. They won¡¯t dare to do anything.¡± Chen Sheng said with a smile and waved his hand. After exining a few sentences, he let the students disperse and continue practicing. He stood there, watching their movements, and asionally giving some advice. He was deep in thought, and it was only after the students distracted him that he realized how dangerous his thoughts had been. No matter how good the feeling of power was, he shouldn¡¯t abuse it. If he had no bottom line, he would be a beast driven by power. At this thought, Chen Sheng took a few deep breaths and quickly adjusted his mentality. Inside the Wu¡¯an Bureau. ¡°Put me down.¡± Guo Yang had just left the training ground carrying Li Qian and hadn¡¯t walked a few steps when he heard a weak voice from his shoulder. Without hesitation, he put Li Qian down. ¡°Junior sister, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Master and I will avenge you.¡± Li Qian had already woken up. However, the overwhelming shame and humiliation prevented her from facing the reality of what had just happened. At this moment, Li Qian stood there, her face stained with tears, and the right side of her face swollen, making her once-delicate facial features appear somewhatical. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred that was almost tangible. ¡°I will kill him with my own hands.¡± Her voice was hoarse, like a demon crawling out from the depths of hell. Confused by humiliation and anger, Li Qian didn¡¯t realize how fast Chen Sheng¡¯s progress was. Perhaps it was also because Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t used An Jin. Li Qian only felt that she had been caught off guard and was attacked by Chen Sheng. ¡°No problem.¡± Guo Yang patted Li Qian¡¯s shoulder tofort her. However, when he looked at her, a trace of irritation shed in his eyes imperceptibly. ¡°But you have to bear with it for now. After the Martial Arts Conference, everything will be fine.¡± ¡°By then, your senior brother will help you.¡± L11dL, the two gradually walked away. As they walked, Guo Yang nced at the training ground with a thoughtful expression, his eyes betraying his deep contemtion. There was definitely something suspicious about Chen Sheng. Whether it was his speed of progress or his martial arts talent, they were all too extraordinary. Either someone was constantly providing him with spirit medicine resources to help him quickly improve his physical attributes, or¡ Guo Yang seemed to have thought of something, and a glint shed in his eyes. However, he couldn¡¯t be sure and could only suppress the spection in his heart for now, waiting for an opportunity to investigateter.. Chapter 51 - 50: Express Delivery and Thieves’ Night Visit Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Express Delivery and Thieves¡¯ Night Visit Trantor: 549690339 At the entrance of the Wu¡¯an Bureau. ¡°What happened?! ¡± Li Xingwu looks at the battered Li Qian, his questioning gaze immediately turns to Guo Yang. Guo Yang then recounted the entire incident. Upon hearing that Li Qian was reduced to such a state by a p from Chen Sheng, Li Xingwu initially felt furious. Subsequently, a sliver of doubt rose in his heart. ¡°Li Qian is a Hidden Energy Warrior. How could that Chen kid possibly have done it?¡± ¡°Chen Sheng has made progress again. Although his strength barely qualifies as a Hidden Energy Warrior,.¡± ¡°But his attack speed is incredibly fast. I didn¡¯t have time to stop him.¡± Guo Yang said somewhat helplessly. Upon hearing this, Li Xingwu didn¡¯t immediately respond. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Li Qian. First, heforted his granddaughter, then he gave Wu Ran a knowing look. ¡°Li Qian, you go drive the car with your junior fellow apprentice Wu.¡± Wu Ran gets the message. He looked indifferently at Li Qian, a hint of contempt shing in his eyes. As a Hidden Energy Warrior, she was reduced to such a state by someone who has just started practicing martial arts for a few days. How embarrassing. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± From beginning to end, Li Qian kept her head down, lost in thought. Upon hearing this, she silently followed him. After the two of them left. Smack! Li Xingwu pped Guo Yang on the back of his head heavily, his eyes bulging. ¡°You just watched as your junior sister apprentice was beaten?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t give me the nonsense about not having enough time, you, a Transformation Realm Fighter, standing by, wouldn¡¯t have enough time?¡± Guo Yang held the back of his head, grimacing. ¡°Master, if I had stopped Chen Sheng and let junior sister p him, how would we exin it to Uncle Li?¡± ¡°We still have matters to seek Uncle Li¡¯s help with, don¡¯t we¡¡± Guo Yang showed a wronged expression. ¡°Stop ying dumb.¡± Even though he said this, Li Xingwu knew clearly that what Guo Yang was saying was the truth. He snorted coldly, choosing not to continue on this topic. ¡°Master, I feel something is off about Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think his progress is a bit too fast?¡± ¡°A few days ago at the Martial Arts Hall, he was only at the Light Energy level, but today he¡¯s already a Hidden Energy Warrior.¡± ¡°I suspect either someone is really feeding him Spirit Medicine or he has¡¡± Hearing this, Li Xingwu¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Are you saying he has a Breathing Technique?¡± ¡°I can onlye up with this exnation, otherwise how could anyone¡ª¡± ¡°That¡¯s none of your business!¡± Guo Yang hadn¡¯t finished speaking when Li Xingwu¡¯s cut him off. ¡°Is my Xingyi Fist¡¯s Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound not enough for you to learn?¡± ¡°You, you, you better put those messy thoughts away early and learn from your junior fellow apprentice Wu.¡± ¡°He¡¯s already in the first realm of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, you haven¡¯t even gotten started, what is the point of thinking so much?¡± ¡°Master, you¡¯ve taught me well.¡± Guo Yang stopped speaking and quickly admitted his mistake. However, Out of Li Xingwu¡¯s sight, He was lowering his head, Both fists clenched tightly. In the afternoon. Chen Sheng returned home. He took out his key to open the iron gate and went straight to the third floor. Bang. Chen Sheng, who had taken off his Weighted Gear, jumped twice and felt light as a feather, as if he could fly in the next second. As his body grew stronger and his qi and blood became more vigorous. Even after a whole day of training, returning home was not as tiring as it used to be. Furthermore, He gradually felt that his current self, while practicing the Three-Body Technique, the strain on his body was significantly lighter. No longer like before, feeling feeble after each practice. Right now, Chen Sheng nned to cancel the time-consuming basic training and switch to practicing the Three-Body Technique. If he wakes up the next day without any problems. In the future, he will slowly reduce some training and focus on the Three-Body Upon thinking of this, Chen Sheng took out two packs of herbs and started to simmer them in the pot. Before leaving the Wu¡¯an Bureau in the evening, he had already asked Li Chenghu and got positive feedback. With the continuous enhancement of the martial artist¡¯s physical fitness, qi and blood became stronger and stronger. Thesemon herbs, their effects will gradually weaken. This is also why Li Xingwu and others were obsessed with obtaining Spirit medicine. Settling on a time, Chen Sheng took a shower and returned to his room. He summoned the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 3.28] [Agility: 3?56] [Constitution: 3-34] [Skill Points: 4-37] After the daytime training, his attributes increased again. Constitution increased by 0.33 Strength increased by 0.26 Agility increased by 0.17 If you said that Chen Sheng in the morning, when he had a conflict with Li Qian, had only six to seven tenths of confidence that he could win. Now, with his two attributespletely surpassing hers, he was 80% sure that he could beat her to death. After tonight, it goes without saying. Close the panel. Chen Sheng nned to rest for a while, waiting until the Vitality Soup was done to start training. Time slowly passed. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside. Chen Sheng immediately got out of bed and headed for the kitchen. At the same time. In the courtyard downstairs of Chen Sheng¡¯s house. A figure slipped into the yard. Feet touching the ground, only a slight sound was emitted. It was a man in ck, dressed no differently from the pig-faced man. But the difference was, The mask on his face, was a nk mask with only three holes. The faceless man began to search as soon as hended. He didn¡¯t find what he was looking for. Afterwards, He looked up at the third floor. There was a light on there. Before arriving, the faceless man had already investigated the neighbor Shen Ziming. The man was called Chen Sheng and was once a target of the organization and a disciple at the Xingwu Gym. But ording to the information disyed, it seemed that Chen Sheng had been expelled from the martial arts hall and was now an instructor at the Wu¡¯an Bureau. His shown strength was just at the beginning Light Energy Level. For a Hidden Energy Warrior like the Faceless Man, he was not worth mentioning. Yesterday, after the organization sessfully captured Shen Ziming for interrogation, they didn¡¯t get any information about the breathing technique from him, and they didn¡¯t find anything useful on him. Therefore, the organization dispatched arge number of people to investigate people Shen Ziming had recently been in contact with and ces he had visited, trying to find the whereabouts of the breathing technique. The faceless man was assigned to investigate Chen Sheng. Because this ce had been searched repeatedly by the people at the Wu¡¯an Bureau, the chance of the breathing technique being left here was not high. That was why this task fell on him, a low-level member who hadn¡¯t been with the organization for long. At this moment, The faceless man was preparing to go to the third floor, kill Chen Sheng and search his house. But then, He suddenly heard the sound of an electric bike from outside the courtyard. The Faceless Man immediately hid behind the iron gate and watched through the cracks. A click. The electric bike stopped in front of Chen Sheng¡¯s house. The courier took a document bag out of the box on the back of his bike. He went to the iron gate, The courier simply put the document bag on the wall and then returned to his bike. He took out his phone and dialed Chen Sheng¡¯s number. ¡°Chen Sheng, right? You have a package, I put it on the wall downstairs of your house.¡± After hanging up the call, the courier got on his bike and left. After he left, A hand reached over the wall and took the document bag. The faceless man didn¡¯t stay in the yard, but immediately jumped out of the wall and hid behind the wooden house where Shen Ziming once lived. ¡°Could this be¡..¡¯ The faceless man looked at the document bag in his hand, his breathing became a bit rapid. If this was really the breathing technique. Then he had hit the jackpot. Eagerly he opened the document bag, inside was a letter and a few pages of a book. The faceless man looked at the pages, After about ten seconds, his eyes showed excitement, and his hands were shaking slightly. ¡°Great, this is great!¡± Acquiring the breathing technique so easily far exceeded the faceless man¡¯s expectations. ¡°What¡¯s got you so excited?¡± At that moment, A voice suddenly sounded from behind him.. Chapter 52 - 51: Killing and Receiving a Letter from a Friend Chapter 52: Chapter 51: Killing and Receiving a Letter from a Friend Trantor: 549690339 Who is it?! In the instant when he heard the sound. The Faceless Man¡¯s hair stood on end, he did not hesitate at all, and turned around to throw a punch in the direction of the sound. His reaction was fast. But Chen Sheng was even faster. Faceless Man had just turned around, and saw a fist rapidly expanding in front of his eyes. Bang! Chen Sheng¡¯s arm was like a cannonballing out of a barrel, itnded solidly on the mask. Apanied by a crackling sound. Mask fragments mixed with fresh blood were shot around. In an instant, Pain swept through his mind, and the Faceless man¡¯s body uncontrobly retreated. But Chen Sheng would not easily let him go. You either do not make a move, The moment you make a move, First kill it, then talk! Chen Sheng stepped forward with his left foot and his right foot swung heavily. His left hand clenched into a fist, with the palm up, striking upward with a fierce force. Bang! Another punch hit the Faceless Man¡¯s lower jaw. The intense pain caused the Faceless Man, who hadn¡¯t had time to recover, to go nk in an instant. His legs kept retreating back. Seeing this, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hesitate any longer, took three steps as two, and quickly closed in. His arm turned into a ck thread, aiming straight for the Faceless Man¡¯s chest. Bang! With the final sound, Faceless Man¡¯s eyes widened instantly, his pupils dting. At his heart¡¯s position, it had already been caved in by Chen Sheng¡¯s Bashing Fist. With a thud, His body fell to the ground. ¡°Hoo¡ª Chen Sheng took a long breath, wiping the sweat off his forehead. ¡°Where did the bad guye from, scared me to death.¡± Thanks to the power of his Agility Attribute, Chen Sheng had already heard the slight noise of the Faceless Mannding when he entered the courtyard. The Faceless Man at that time didn¡¯t even notice that when he was stealing the express delivery, there was a pair of eyes staring at him from within the darkness. Chen Sheng secretly followed him all the way to the back of Shen Ziming¡¯s wooden house. He took advantage of his unguarded moment to take a fierce action. As for the reason he didn¡¯t keep a living witness to interrogate, It¡¯s because Chen Sheng didn¡¯t dare. He was afraid that if he gave the opponent a chance, and some kind of trouble was caused and discovered by others, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng squatted down, stuffed the papers and letter on the ground into the document bag, and put it in his pocket. Then, he turned around and returned to his house. Two minutester, Chen Sheng reappeared, wearing gloves and a mask, and having changed his clothes. First, he searched around Shen Ziming¡¯s wooden house. As expected, he found the shovel and cleaning tools he used to dig the grave. From his pocket, Chen Sheng took out a stic bag and put the mask fragments from the ground in it, and covered the blood with mud. Afterward, Chen Sheng squatted down next to the Faceless Man¡¯s corpse. It was only then that he noticed the Faceless Man¡¯s face waspletely burned, making it impossible to see his original appearance. Without much thought, He searched the corpse and found nothing useful, then carried it in one hand and headed for the wastnd. All the way, Chen Sheng looked around nervously, afraid that someone would discover his tracks. ¡°I apologize, I apologize.¡± ¡°I found you all apanion, please don¡¯t mind.¡± Having arrived at the wastnd without danger, Chen Sheng held his hands together and mumbled to the lonely tombs around him. Having said that, he began to bury the corpse immediately. An hourter, Chen Sheng, who had cleaned up all traces, returned home, and quickly threw the clothes he was wearing into the washing machine. After all of that, he went back to the kitchen as if nothing had happened and started cooking. ¡°Sigh While frying the vegetables, Chen Sheng sighed repeatedly. He couldn¡¯t understand his own mentality right now. Butpared to the first time he killed someone, he was extremely calm this time. Chen Sheng¡¯s current demeanor was as normal and casual as if he had just done a small, trivial thing. Instead of worrying about how he had killed someone, his mind was focused on whether he had left any traces behind and if anyone woulde after him. ¡°It seems my house isn¡¯t very safe.¡± ¡°Should I go out and hide for a while?¡± However, if he left, the mysterious organization would inevitably connect the Faceless Man¡¯s death to him. But if he didn¡¯t leave, would they note looking for him? After thinking for a while, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯te up with a good solution, so he put the matter aside for now. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng, having finished his dinner, didn¡¯t start cleaning up right away. Instead, he took out the document bag and opened it. First, he looked at the paper, [Eagle¡¯s Breath] What was recorded on it was a veryplicated breathing technique. It required at least a martial artist with Transforming Power and a Body Forging Skill, only then could they practice it together. As it wasn¡¯t something he could start cultivating immediately, Chen Sheng put it aside. He unfolded the letter and began to read. [Brother Chen, how have you beentely?] [If you sessfully receive this letter, it means that I am trapped and likely to die.] [Don¡¯t try to save me; I¡¯ve long expected such a day.] [What I left in the express delivery is called Breathing Technique.] [The Breathing Technique¡¯s effect is extremely powerful, capable of changing a person¡¯s life essence, and has been used by Qi-sensors to fight Heavenly People throughout history.] [Unfortunately, I originally nned to find the matching Body Forging Skill and give it to you to repay your life-saving grace.] [Now, I can only leave an address for you to look for it yourself.] The handwriting in the letter became sloppy here, and a bloodstain covered it, making it impossible to read the content. Obviously, Shen Ziming was in a very bad situation when he wrote this letter. Chen Sheng looked past the bloodstain and continued reading. [Never confront them head-on, remember, remember.] [You¡¯re an interesting person, and I¡¯d like to be friends with you if possible.] [But now, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no chance.] [Such a pity, such a pity.] [Brother Chen] [Wishing you prosperity in the martial arts] [PS: There¡¯s a nameless tombstone in the southeast corner of the graveyard. I carved a letter on it. Digging up the grave will bring you a pleasant surprise.] An address was left at the end of the letter. It should be rted to the location of the Body Forging Skill mentioned in the letter. After reading the letter, Chen Sheng sat in silence on the sofa for a long time. ¡°How absurd.¡± He suddenly said a word. But his tone was extremely low. Honestly, He hadn¡¯t known Shen Ziming for very long. They might not even be considered friends. He couldn¡¯t understand why the other party, who was about to die, still thought about repaying his life-saving grace. What he understood even less was that, Why when he heard the news of the other party¡¯s death, His mood grew extremely heavy. In the depths of his heart, a me burned continuously, But he didn¡¯t know where to direct it. After a while, Chen Sheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He put the letter behind him and stuffed it into the cab in his room. Most of the items in the cab were important things. Now, he had one more letter from someone who might or might not be considered a friend. Leaving his room, Chen Sheng went straight to the balcony. Feeling the cool evening breeze, his agitated mood finally rxed a bit. At that moment, He suddenly remembered the nameless tombstone Shen Ziming mentioned in the letter. ¡°I wonder what it is.¡± Chen Sheng looked around. After making sure that no one was watching, he couldn¡¯t help but let his curiosity get the better of him. He put on gloves and picked up an iron shovel from Shen Ziming¡¯s room. Chen Sheng stealthily made his way to the graveyard.. Chapter 53 - 53: 52: Upgrade and Pile Technique Perfection Chapter 53: Chapter 52: Upgrade and Pile Technique Perfection Trantor: 549690339 Night. Wutong Vige, deserted graves. In the deep end of the deserted grave, there was a man sneaking around, holding an iron shovel and constantly digging into the ground. It was Chen Sheng. It was his first time doing a guilty deed¡ No, it was his third time. Every time he dug a bit of soil, he would nce around, afraid of being caught. ¡°You really have a way, Shen Ziming.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t hide it under the bed or the floor, and so many ces you didn¡¯t hide it.¡± ¡°You hid it in a graveyard.¡± Chen Sheng muttered to himself as he dug, trying to ease the tension in his heart. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Shen Ziming was 80% likely to be dead, he would even want to confront him in the future. Fortunately, Half an hour passed. With a nk, The iron shovel seemed to hit something hard. Chen Sheng¡¯s heart missed a beat. But he knew that he had dug up something left behind by Shen Ziming. ¡°What the hell is it, so mysterious.¡± Chen Sheng looked around again, confirming that there was no one nearby before jumping into the pit. He brushed away the dirt on the surface of the hard object, gradually revealing its true appearance. It was a wooden box, not locked, and looked ordinary on the surface. Chen Sheng opened it. Whoosh! In the pitch-ck night, a golden light shone on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Smack! He closed the wooden box. Holy shit, a golden legend! Just now, in that fleeting glimpse, Chen Sheng had seen what was inside the wooden box. There were several gold bars, each as thick as a thumb and as long as an index finger. And there were stacks of thick banknotes piled together. I¡¯m going to make a fortune. That was Chen Sheng¡¯s first thought. Although gold bars aren¡¯t easy to exchange inrge quantities and easily detected, But the stacks of banknotes, Chen Sheng roughly estimated, were worth about 100,000 yuan. Even if he had a high expenditure, this money would be enough to support his martial arts training for a long time, without having to resort to Li Chenghu¡¯s charity. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng tightly hugged the wooden box in his arms and jumped onto the ground. He quickly filled the hole, and with his feet, he scrambled the dirt to make it seem as it was before. Half an hourter. Chen Sheng returned home. After wiping the wooden box clean, he reluctantly put it in the depths under his bed. After doing all this, Chen Sheng went to the kitchen and drank two bowls of Vitality Soup that had already cooled down. He went to the balcony. Chen Sheng closed his eyes, As the Vitality Soup entered his stomach, it gradually turned into a stream of heat, flowing to his limbs. His skin began to turn slightly red. And wisps of white mist rose from the surface of his body. He called out the panel. [Skill Points: 4-37] Nowadays, after tonight¡¯s practice with the Three-Body Technique, he could almost upgrade one of the skills he had. He didn¡¯t n to upgrade the Five Elements Fist until he was able to use transforming power through his strength. So, it would just be the Three-Body Technique. Chen Sheng also wanted to know what kind of changes the Three-Body Technique would bring after being upgraded to Level 3. He began to take up his stance, practicing the Five Elements Fist, integrating the Three-Body Technique into them. His breathing gradually became longer and stronger. His muscles, all over his body, were mobilized to match Chen Sheng¡¯s movements. In the slightly cool weather, he was like a giant furnace radiating astonishing heat, driving away all the cold that tried to approach. One hour. Two hours. Time slowly passed. As his physical strength kept growing stronger, He no longer needed a break with just the energy recovery brought by the upgrade in his Constitution attribute. Five hourster. It was only when the heat inside his body had beenpletely converted, and the feeling of hunger kepting from his stomach, that Chen Sheng stopped his practice. ¡°Whew!¡± He took a long breath. The warm air quickly condensed into a cloud of white mist in the air before gradually dissipating as it collided with the wall three meters away. Chen Sheng called out the attribute panel to check the result of his practice. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 3.63] [Agility: 3-91] [Constitution: 3.69] [Skill Points: 5-42] A look of joy immediately spread across his face.bender Five hours of training had increased his three attributes by 0.35 each. His skill points had reached the standard required to upgrade the Three-Body Technique. Chen Sheng now had the power of a Level 6 Dark Energy strong person. Killing Li Qian was as easy as ughtering a chicken. Before entering the realm, martial arts are divided into ten stages. In the Light Energy Stage, the difference in physical strength between martial artists is not significant. In the Dark Energy Stage, each level is noticeably different, but this can still bepensated for with techniques and other factors. However, in the Transformation Realm Stage, the physical strength of each level is almost worlds apart. ording to Guo Yang¡¯s attributes as a third-order Transforming Strength Martial Artist, Chen Sheng would likely need to break through to a strength of five points to reach the Transformation Realm. Fortunately, it would only take Chen Sheng about two days to do so at his current speed. If he were to upgrade the Three-Body Technique, it might take even less time. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng focused on the Three-Body Technique. [Three-Body Technique IV2: 85/5000] Upgrade! The text blurred momentarily before swiftly returning to rity. [Three-Body Technique: Perfection] [Skill Points: 0.5] Boom! Chen Sheng¡¯s body instantly stiffened. Arge amount of muscle memory began to form continuously. Changes in breathing rhythm, muscle movement, and action details allbined to make the Three-Body Technique integrate into the deepest corners of his body, etching it into his instincts like a mark. Only after ten minutes, Chen Sheng gradually came back to his senses. But there was still a trace of astonishment in his eyes. He lifted his right foot and took a step forward. Chen Sheng began to wander aimlessly on the balcony. asionally, he would stop and perform other movements. Running, jumping, sitting cross-legged. What was strange was that, Even though these were merely effortless actions, Chen Sheng felt somewhat strained while performing them. His forehead was covered with sweat that dripped continuously. As his qi and blood surged rapidly within his body, the surface of Chen Sheng¡¯s skin gradually turned red. A faint white mist began to rise once more. After a while, the strange phenomenon on Chen Sheng¡¯s body gradually disappeared. Sitting on the ground, His expression was one of ecstatic joy. This was the result of the Three-Body Technique at the level of Perfection. He moved like a pile, stood like a pile, and even sat like a pile. All the requirements of the Three-Body Technique, including the breathing rhythm and muscle movement, had been integrated into Chen Sheng¡¯s instincts. This meant that no matter when or where, he could practice at any time without the need for specific postures. Although, Chen Sheng¡¯s current physical strength was not sufficient for him to practice the Three-Body Technique 24 hours a day. And practicing it alone did not improve his abilities as quickly as whenbined with the Five Elements Fist. However, the advantage was that he could practice it at any time and ce. This would still save him a significant amount of time and elerate his progress. The only downside was that it consumed more medicinal soup. Moreover, one could not drink medicinal soup indefinitely. ording to Chen Sheng¡¯s estimation, he could only drink up to three bowls of Vitality Soup per day as the limit. Otherwise, it would cause an excessive burden on his body and backfire. After the experiment ended, Chen Sheng went back inside to take a shower. At night, Lying on the bed, Chen Sheng thought of the address Shen Ziming had mentioned in the letter. ¡®Should I find time to check it out tomorrow?¡¯ With this thought, waves of drowsiness hit Chen Sheng. Soon, Chapter 54 - 54: 53: Tracking and Wu’an Operation Chapter 54: Chapter 53: Tracking and Wu¡¯an Operation Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Before dawn, the rm clock on the phone beside the bed went Ott. Chen Sheng opened his eyes and quickly got up from the bed, heading towards the kitchen. He took out two packs of herbs from the stic bag in the living room and directly put them into the pot to simmer. With the Three-Body Technique perfected, he nned to gradually integrate it into his daily training to save time and steadily improve his training results. He had been somewhat troubled before, As his physical attributes grew, the training became more time-consuming. But now, with the perfected level of the Three-Body Technique, he no longer had to worry about this issue. He set the time. Chen Sheng washed and changed clothes, then prepared to head to the vegetable market to buy groceries and settle his breakfast along the way. One hourter, Chen Sheng returned home and saw that the Vitality Soup still needed some time to finish simmering. With nothing to do, he went back to his room and took out the page containing the Eagle¡¯s Breath technique. Last night, he only skimmed through it and did not look at the contents in detail. ¡°Transform one¡¯s essence of life, Eagle?¡± ¡°Will practicing this make feathers grow on my body?¡± Just thinking about this, Chen Sheng shuddered involuntarily. The image was too beautiful; he didn¡¯t dare to think about it. The page did not have any records on what changes would ur to the body after practicing the Eagle¡¯s Breath. It only outlined the relevant breathing rhythms and the control requirements of various parts of the body. This Eagle¡¯s Breath was much more difficult than the Three-Body Technique, just in terms of the breathing technique. Not to mention the Body Forging Skill part that he had not yet obtained. The more Chen Sheng looked at it, the more focused his attention became. Unconsciously, he adjusted his breathing and muscles ording to the content on the page. Several minutes passed. Suddenly. A muffled sound exploded inside Chen Sheng¡¯s body. His eyes widened instantly. ¡°Huh?¡± The page scattered to the ground. Chen Sheng¡¯s legs went limp, and he fell to his knees, clutching his chest, seemingly unable to breathe. Thumping sounds like drums reverberated continuously from within his body. This state persisted for more than a minute. Just when Chen Sheng thought he was going to pass out, the reaction in his body gradually weakened. He gasped heavily, His face pale, covered in sweat, and his pupils surrounded by dense bloodshot eyes. Just now, Chen Sheng suddenly felt his heart contract with unprecedented force, driving the bloodflow to rush through his body¡¯s interior. Such strength, such speed. It was as if a thousand catties of pressure constantly squeezed every corner of uuuy, VVILII Leal 111b The feeling was too painful, and Chen Sheng momentarily lost control of his body, to the point where he couldn¡¯t even breathe. After resting for a while, Chen Sheng, feeling a little recuperated, slumped to the ground. With a lingering fear, he looked at the page on the floor, making up his mind not to attempt it again before mastering the Transforming Power phase. He slowly got up from the ground. Picking up the page, Chen Sheng put it into the cab¡¯spartment. Seeing that it was about time, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Another hour passed. After finishing the soup, Chen Sheng poured it into hisrge-capacity thermos. He took a sip. The Vitality Soup entered his stomach and quickly transformed into a warm current. The originally pale face, due to the attempt with Eagle¡¯s Breath, regained its color at a visible speed. Chen Sheng began to put on his weighted gear. This time, he directly adjusted the weight to 100kg. The steel slots on his Weighted Vest were almost filled. He went downstairs. Chen Sheng stood in ce, adjusting his breathing. From this moment on, he nned to maintain the Three-Body Technique state throughout his body until the Vitality Soup was finished. Once everything was ready, Chen Sheng took a stride and ran towards the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Forty minutester. Chen Sheng arrived at the Wu¡¯an Bureau smoothly. He nced at the panel. Indeed, incorporating the Three -Body Technique into his running, his training effect had significantly increased. For a 10-kilometer distance, even with the added weight, his past self could barely improve his Constitution Attribute by less than 0.1 at most. But today, the physical attribute increased by 0.13, and the other two attributes increased by 0.05. With this increase rate, Chen Sheng estimated that he could raise all his attributes by 1 point in a day. He put away the panel. With a happy stride, he walked towards the training ground. Upon arriving at the training ground, his students had already gathered. Without saying much, he quickly started teaching. Time gradually passed. Three hourster, the ss ended for the day, and Chen Sheng was about to say goodbye to his students. However, he saw that at this time, a few of them looked at the time and exchanged nces. Apart from Liu Ming, Wang Dazhuang, and a female student, the others got up one after another. ¡°Goodbye, coach!¡± Huh? Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled at Xu Rou, who was speaking. Usually, this little girl was the most enthusiastic about martial arts practice, and after each ss, she would pester him with a bunch of questions. Why did she seem in a hurry to leave today? ¡°Is there something going on?¡± He asked Xu Rou. ¡°Do you remember the incident with your neighborst time? We were investigating his connection with another one¡ª¡± Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s inquiry, Xu Rou was about to blurt out the details of the mission. But halfway through her words, Xu Rou suddenly realized that although Chen Sheng was a coach in Wu¡¯an Bureau, he was not a member of the Wu¡¯an Bureau.bender She couldn¡¯t tell the specifics of the mission to him. Her voice abruptly stopped. Xu Rou¡¯s face showed a trace of apology. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, coach¡ I can¡¯t tell you about this.¡± ¡°No problem, no problem.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hands repeatedly. ¡°Well, you¡¯d better go. The ss is over for today anyway, and I¡¯m about to leave.¡± ¡°Goodbye, coach.¡± The few members who were participating in the mission bid farewell to Chen Sheng and quickly hurried out. Watching their departing figures, Chen Sheng¡¯s expression looked thoughtful. ording to the information Xu Rou had just revealed¡ could it be that this mission was rted to Shen Ziming? No, that¡¯s not right. Shen Ziming had been captured by that mysterious organization a few days ago, so if Wu¡¯an Bureau wanted to take action, they wouldn¡¯t have waited until today. So the target of this mission should be¡ that mysterious organization! Realizing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s face changed slightly. Chen Sheng walked out of the training ground. Standing outside, he could clearly hear the orderly footsteps nearby. Following the sound, he looked through the gaps between the buildings. As expected, he could see fully armed Wu¡¯an Bureau officers with firearms, assembling. That¡¯s right, although the Wu¡¯an Bureau recruited Qi-sensors, it was only to make sure they had the strength to fight back against the criminals with Qi-sensing abilities when attacked, so that they wouldn¡¯t be helplessly ughtered once they lost their firearms. When it came to catching the criminals, using guns was the best option. Moreover, the number of people involved in the operation must be several times greater than the target poption. Putting their own and themon people¡¯s safety first has always been the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s guiding principle in their actions. At this moment, there was a strange urge welling up in Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. He wanted to follow and see what was happening. Regardless of whether the mysterious organization woulde after himter or confirming Shen Ziming¡¯s life or death, it was better to follow the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s movements than to wait for the organization toe knocking on Chen Sheng¡¯s door. He didn¡¯t have the habit of waiting to be killed. With this in mind, Chen Sheng turned around and went back to the training ground. After saying goodbye to the remaining students, he left directly. [Qingfeng Xi: Master, I¡¯ll leave after ss.] Li Chenghu did not reply immediately, presumably preparing for the operation. Twenty minutester. Several ck minivans slowly drove out of Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s entrance. Not until the vehicles were about to disappear from sight, did Chen Sheng, who had changed his clothes and wore a hat and mask on his face, follow from a distance.. Chapter 55 - 54: Tracking and Unpredictable Human Hearts Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Tracking and Unpredictable Human Hearts Trantor: 549690339 On the road. Several ck minivans mingled in the traffic as they headed toward Luo City District. Chen Sheng trailed far behind, relying on his strong physical capabilities, he never lost the vehicles. At the same time, He also noticed something unusual. It seemed there was another vehicle following the Wu¡¯an Bureau convoy, besides himself. It was an ordinary ck car, which appeared midway and hung far behind Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s vehicles just like Chen Sheng. Who could it be? Could it be someone from that mysterious organization? Although he was somewhat puzzled, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t dare to rashly approach for fear of startling them. About fifteen kilometers in. The road gradually widened, and the vehicles and pedestrians on it gradually became sparse. In order to avoid being discovered, Chen Sheng had to further increase the distance, letting the Wu¡¯an Bureau vehicles disappear from his field of vision. As for him, he trailed behind the simrly decelerating ck car. Soon, The Wu¡¯an Bureau vehicles stopped outside a chemical nt. The area surrounding was quite deste, with only a few factories and staff dormitories. Wu¡¯an Bureau personnel in full gear jumped out of the vehicles, breaking into small teams and entering the industrial area. The ck car, on the other hand, stopped even further away. Seeing this, Chen Sheng immediately shrank his body and observed. Two figures emerged from the car. Surprisingly, they were familiar faces. Guo Yang and Li Qian, direct disciples of Xingwu Gym. As for Li Xingwu and Wu Ran, they were nowhere to be seen. Chen Sheng frowned. He somehow felt that he always saw these people everywhere he went, like flies. The two got out of the car, Guo Yang turned around and seemed to say something to Li Qian. Afterward, the two sneakily walked toward the other side. Forget it, it¡¯s not like he nned to meet them anyway. He would find a way to obtain the information he wanted, leave quickly, and avoidplications. With that in mind, Chen Sheng did not follow them but instead went in the other direction, preparing to enter the industrial area. ¡°Ugh¡ugh!¡± In a corner of a food chemical nt, a small room. Whimpers and struggles could be heard continuously inside the room. The air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell. Shen Ziming wasid t on a wooden board, his limbs bound by bent steel bars. Next to him stood three people. Two of them were dressed in work clothes and wore gas masks, making it impossible to see their faces. There was also a sinister-looking middle-aged man. At this moment, One of the people wearing gas masks ced a wet towel over Shen Ziming¡¯s face, covering his mouth and nosepletely. The other held a bucket of an unidentified red liquid, pouring it down onto the towel-covered face. As for the middle-aged man, he just watched coldly. The red liquid continued to pour, sshing everyvvhere. The acrid smell in the air grew more and more intense. Shen Ziming seemed to be in great pain, struggling more and more violently. His wrists and ankles had already been rubbed raw by the steel bars, revealing the white bones beneath. Seconds passed. The towel was removed. *Cough cough* Shen Ziming coughed violently, his face red and frightening. ¡°Shh, it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay.¡± The middle-aged man squatted down next to Shen Ziming,forting him softly as he lightly patted his chest. ¡°As long as you confess, I can kill you directly, and you won¡¯t have to suffer any longer.¡± ¡°With your physical condition, we can y for a long time.¡± The middle-aged man looked genuinely distressed. It seemed torturing Shen Ziming wasn¡¯t his intention. After a dozen seconds, Shen Ziming¡¯s breathing gradually stabilized. However, he only stared nkly at the ceiling, ignoring the middle-aged man¡¯s words. Seeing this, The middle-aged man gave a faint smile. Paired with his sinister face, it sent shivers down people¡¯s spines upon a single nce. ¡°Very good.¡± ¡°I like your toughness.¡± ¡°No problem, there¡¯s plenty of time. I can apany you and slowly y.¡± ¡°Continue.¡± The middle-aged man stood up and gave the order. The other two immediately stepped forward, ready for another round of torture. But at that moment, *Knock knock* There was a knock at the door. ¡°Come in.¡± Another person with a gas mask walked in, holding a small LCD screen in his hand. ¡°Mr. Hai, something is wrong.¡± But the screen only showed a snowke. ¡°The monitoring seems to be interfered by the signals.¡± Hearing this, The middle-aged man frowned, ready to say something. Suddenly, He turned his head and looked at the two men next to Shen Ziming. The two men were looking this way, and their actions stopped as well. ¡°Keep going, don¡¯t stop.¡± The middle-aged man waved his hand. Soon, The torture of Shen Ziming resumed. The staff who held the LCD screen couldn¡¯t help but shudder, and quickly lowered his head. ¡°What about the people outside?¡± The middle-aged man asked with a frown. ¡°We have lost contact with all of them, I¡¯m worried¡¡± ¡°So¡¡± The middle-aged man lowered his head and stroked his chin. Soon, He raised his head again. ¡°You, go destroy all the data in the monitoring room.¡± ¡°You two, take Shen Ziming away.¡± ¡°Inform everyone to dy the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s advance.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± X3 After giving orders to the people in the room, the middle-aged man walked straight out of the room. At the moment he entered the outside world, A faint gunshot and chaotic noise came from outside. ¡°They¡¯re quite fast.¡± Having said that, The middle-aged man turned into a ck thread, dashing in another direction. At the same time, In the room, Shen Ziming, who had once again experienced the pepper spray,pletely lost consciousness. Two staff grabbed him up, lifted the floor, and entered the secret passage. At the perimeter of the chemical nt. Chen Sheng carefully climbed a tform, lying on the railings to watch the direction of the factory. From here, he clearly saw that workers in protective suits were running out of tne ractory, ana wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s teams were Intercepting tnese people trymg to escape. But even with therge number of Wu¡¯an Bureau personnel deployed, there were still gaps. What Chen Sheng was waiting for was a fish that slipped through the. Once he caught the person, he could get information about the mysterious organization and Shen Ziming¡¯s situation from him. Soon, Chen Sheng saw a figure. It was a staff member who had sessfully escaped the encirclement and was running towards him. Good! Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up. This person was much slower than him, and it was just pure luck that he managed to escape the encirclement. Chen Sheng saw that the person seemed to be nning to run to the woods outside the chemical nt. With that thought in mind, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hesitate and ran down to intercept him. At the same time, Guo Yang and Li Qian were also hiding in a dormitory building not far away, observing the situation inside the chemical nt. ¡°Senior Brother, look!¡± Li Qian also noticed the person who had escaped the encirclement, pointing at him and calling Guo Yang. ¡°Good!¡± Guo Yang¡¯s eyes also brightened. ¡°Junior Sister, this person is not strong, you need to stop him.¡± ¡°You must find out what this organization is up to.¡± ¡°That way we won¡¯t sit idly by.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll keep watching and inform you immediately if there¡¯s any situation.¡± Saying that, Guo Yang took out his phone and waved it. ¡°Okay!¡± Li Qian had no doubt about Guo Yang¡¯s words and immediately set off to intercept the person. However, After Li Qian left, Guo Yang didn¡¯t watch out for her as he said he would. He nced at his phone, There wasn¡¯t even a signal on it. After confirming that Li Qian had gone far, Guo Yang looked around and quickly left his spot. He went straight downstairs, entered a dormitory, and went under a bed. Guo Yang squatted down and pulled, A suitcase was dragged out. He opened the suitcase, Inside it, It was a timed bomb.. Chapter 56 - 55: Explosions and Tragedies Occur Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Explosions and Tragedies ur Trantor: 549690339 Inside the chemical nt. ¡°Hands on your head, squat down!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Fully armed Wu¡¯an Bureau personnel advanced slowly into the depth, moving crisscross. Those who didn¡¯t resist were handcuffed directly. If they resisted, shots would be fired to incapacitate them before binding their hands and feet. ¡°Report, several suspicious individuals are escaping!¡± ¡°A secret passage was found!¡± ¡°The monitoring room and the records room are on fire!¡± Faced with a plethora of information, Li Chenghu tookmand calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t rush into the hidden passage, try to salvage the records first.¡± ¡°Second Squad, attempt to pursue the escaping targets. If necessary, aim to kill Li Chenghu¡¯s words were cut off halfway. All of a sudden, He caught sight of something rushing towards him from a distance. Li Chenghu¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and he dodged immediately. But as that object got closer and closer, His pupils contracted. This is bad! Li Chenghu tried to run, but was one step toote. Beep¡ªa long siren sound. Boom! A fiery st rose into the sky. ¡°Captain¡ captain?!¡± There was unrest among thebat personnel in the chemical nt; they heard the chaos outside and noticed the huge mes above. They repeatedly called out to Li Chenghu, but there was no response. ¡°Teams One, Two, Three, continue exploring.¡± ¡°Possible enemy presence outside. Teams Four, Five, Six, begin searching the surroundings immediately!¡± ¡°The rest of the team, immediately rescue wounded personnel!¡± Fortunately, the vice captain in the team took over themand in time. Upon receiving the orders, all the teams started to act. Several hundred meters away, The lucky worker who had managed to escape also heard themotion from the chemical nt. But he paid no attention to it. His name was Li San. Originally a wanted criminal, he had inadvertently received an invitation from this mysterious organization. He initially intended to use this organization as a refuge, and perform tasks in exchange for some useful things. But, After he had sessfullypleted arge number of assessments and earned the trust of the mysterious organization, The Wu¡¯an Bureau had shown up just a few days after he arrived. ¡°Goddamn bad luck!¡± Upon thinking of this, Li San uttered a curse under his breath. Fortunately, with his Ninth-order Qi Sensor strength and luck, he was able to break through the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s encirclement. At this point, running was the best option. As Li San frantically ran, the surrounding scenery quickly receded. In his line of sight, a smear of green gradually appeared. Good! Li San¡¯s face brightened. There was a river near the chemical nt. Once he jumped into the river, he could escape. However, Just as Li was rejoicing, A dark shadow suddenly emerged from the edge of his vision and quickly approached him at an astonishing speed. What the hell is that?! Li San¡¯s face turned pale as he prepared to look back at the approaching figure. But in his vision, all he could see was a rapidly erging palm. Smack! The palm firmly covered Li San¡¯s mouth, silencing him. What was even more frightening was, With just one hand, the owner of the arm lifted Li San up and charged towards a nearby warehouse. Bang! Before Li San could react, he was pressed hard against the wall. Feeling the pain on his back, Li San looked fearfully at the owner of the arm. But all he saw were a pair of incredibly calm eyes. ¡°I ask, you answer.¡± ¡°Refuse, and you die.¡± ¡°Scream or shout, and you die.¡± ¡°Resist, and you die.¡± Li San was terrified and tried to nod, but found that his head was firmly held in ce by the palm and couldn¡¯t move at all. All he could do was make whimpering noises, hoping the person in front of him would understand. Chen Sheng slowly let go, allowing Li San to slide down from the wall. ¡°Where is Shen Ziming? Is he dead or alive?¡± He asked coldly. Shen Ziming?? Who the hell is that?! Li San was baffled. He had just joined the organization two days ago and, apart from a fewrades, he didn¡¯t know anyone else. Just as he was thinking about how to reply in a way that would make the man let him go, Crack! With one kick, Chen Sheng drove Li San¡¯s arm directly into the wall. Just as Li San was about to scream, his mouth was violently mped shut by Chen Sheng, immediately silencing him. ¡°If you don¡¯t speak, next time it¡¯ll be your leg.¡± The Wu¡¯an Bureau personnel were not far away, and this ce could be discovered at any moment. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t have much time to waste here. At the same time, On the other side of the chemical nt. A shadowy middle-aged man and Guo Yang stood in a dormitory room, looking out through the dormitory window. From here, they had a perfect view of the vicinity of the chemical nt. As time passed, the personnel who were still in the factory had already been subdued. Very soon, The personnel of Wu¡¯an Bureau began arge-scale search in the surrounding area. ¡°Good arm strength.¡± Mr. Hai stretched out his thumb in approval towards Guo Yang. At the same time, he handed over a small wooden box. Guo Yang took the box, opened it, and looked inside. Looking at the three or four nts inside, glowing with a strange luster, he unconsciously showed a hint of joy. But very soon, Guo Yangposed himself, and snorted coldly. ¡°I gave you the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, and even helped you out.¡± ¡°The deal is over. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.¡± Having said this, He turned around and prepared to leave. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you like to stick around for a show?¡± At this moment, Mr. Hai pointed towards the window. A show? Just as Guo Yang was puzzled. Mr. Hai suddenly began to count down. ¡°Three.¡± ¡°Two.¡± ¡°One.¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Mr. Hai opened his mouth and exaggeratedly mimicked the action of an explosion. The next second, Bang! Bang! Bang! Explosions and screams echoed out from the outside world one after another. Guo Yang¡¯s pupils shrank, and he quickly moved to the window. Inside the chemical nt, fires were continuously bursting. He saw with his own eyes that the members of the organization, who had been restrained, were transforming into human bombs and exploding one after another. Broken limbs, flesh flying. The sounds of copsing, booming, and screaming intertwined before Guo Yang, ying out a grim symphony of blood and gore. ¡°You¡ª Guo Yang furrowed his brow, looking towards Mr. Hai. Although he had betrayed his sect and the Wu¡¯an Bureau for his own benefits, He had never thought that it would lead to the current situation. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that.¡± ¡°Those were just fugitives we offered sanctuary to, most of our official members have already evacuated.¡± ¡°The rest, have basically fled as well.¡± ¡°We are not the type of organization that disregards the lives of its members.¡± Mr. Hai raised his hands, putting on an innocent expression, fervently defending himself. ¡°I should thank you for informing us.¡± ¡°We will repay you, brother Guo.¡± Having said this, Mr. Hails handnded on Guo Yang¡¯s back. His extremely gentle tone sent chills down Guo Yang¡¯s spine. ¡°By now, the signal should have been restored.¡± ¡°Call your little disciple sister quickly and leave this ce.¡± ¡°If you were caught by the Wu¡¯an Bureau, it would really pain me.¡± Hearing this, Smack! Guo Yang threw off Mr. Hai¡¯s hand and without looking back, he walked towards the door. ¡°Let me give you one more piece of news.¡± Behind him, Mr. Hai said with a grin. ¡°Chen Sheng, your junior brother, right?¡± ¡°We originally sent people to investigate him, but they disappeared mysteriously.¡± ¡°Your junior brother seems to be not so simple.¡± ¡°He might very well be harboring a Breathing Technique.¡± Upon hearing this, Guo Yang paused for a moment, then continued to leave. That Chen Sheng possessed a Breathing Technique was something he had suspected for a while. Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t exin how Chen Sheng¡¯s strength could change day by day. Mr. Hai¡¯s words, only affirmed Guo Yang¡¯s guess even more so. Once he got to the door. Guo Yang dialed Li Qian¡¯s number. However, There was no answer.. Chapter 57 - 57: 56: Killing the Enemy and Striking Boldly Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Killing the Enemy and Striking Boldly Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Cough ¨C cough!¡± At the perimeter of the chemical nt, in the warehouse ruins. Li Qian moved the stone b that was pressing down on her, coughing and waving away the dust floating in front of her at the same time. She had just followed Li San all the way from the encirclement to this warehouse outskirts. As soon as she arrived, she heard a suppressed scream from inside the warehouse. But just as she tiptoed and prepared to approach quietly, something unexpected happened. The red light from the warehouse window illuminated her face. The loud noise soon followed. Bang! Li Qian did not even have time to react before she saw a broken stone b quickly erging in front of her. Thud! Her vision cked out, and she lost consciousness in that moment. She didn¡¯t know how long it was before she woke up again, only to find herself lying in the ruins with a stone b on top of her. At this point, Li Qian, who had moved the stone b, was just about to stand up. ¡°Cough ¨C cough!¡± But at that moment, she suddenly heard another coughing sounding from nearby. Someone¡¯s there! Was it the fleeing factory staff? Li Qian¡¯s eyes flickered, and her body instantly stopped, hiding in the ruins, looking towards the direction the sound wasing from. The next second, Her eyes widened in surprise. Chen Sheng?! Why would he be here?! Even though Chen Sheng had a grey and dirty face and his clothing was different from usual, Li Qian, who had just been pped by him yesterday, would never forget his face even if she died. Seeing Chen Sheng, Li Qian immediately felt a faint pain in her cheeks. Her original purpose foring here had been temporarily forgotten. She hid her figure, controlled her breathing, and tried her best to keep silent. She wanted to see why Chen Sheng appeared here and what he was going to do. If she could find some leverage on him¡ At this thought, A fierce glint shed in Li Qian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Damn it!¡± Chen Sheng swearing, clutching his blood-soaked forehead. When the explosion urred, although he reacted very quickly and immediately moved away at the fastest speed, He was still affected. Almost all of his body¡¯s organs and bones felt like they were about to fall apart under the intense impact. Blood flowed from the various holes and scratches on his face, mixing with the dust covering his entire body. Chen Sheng pressed hard on his ears. But the intense tinnitus and pain did not ease. No, He cannot stay here for too long. Although his body is still in pain, Chen Sheng did not n to wait here for a slow recovery. He looked around and quickly found the fallen mask and hat. He picked them up and put them back on. ¡°Phew.¡± Chen Sheng took a long breath, controlling his breathing rhythm and muscle movement to maintain his three-body state. Only in this way could his injuries recover quickly. Before the explosion, he had already sessfully obtained useful information from Li San. Although Li San hadn¡¯t been here long, he had still heard a lot of gossip from his coworkers. For example, in the depths of the chemical nt, there was a room that no one had ever seen anyone enter or leave, but they often heard creepy noisesing from inside, The nt¡¯s manager was a middle- aged man named Mr. Hai. At least half of the nt¡¯s staff were wanted criminals. As for the other half, Li San had never seen them without their gas masks, nor had he heard them speak. Also, most importantly,bender The existence of the secret passage. Some older coworkers, upon careful observation for several days, had determined that there must be a secret passage leading to the outside world within the chemical nt, Since the chemical nt was built by the sea, the secret passage could not possibly be built underwater. The only possibility was¡ Chen Sheng looked up at the forest in the distance. Over there! If Shen Ziming had not died, the mysterious organization would certainly take him away through the secret passage. At that thought, Chen Sheng immediately headed towards the woods. As he ran, He gradually felt a tingling sensationing from within his body. His injuries were being healed. Just as Chen Sheng had run several hundred meters and was about to get out of sight, Without any hesitation, Li Qian leaped from the ruins and pursued him. Not long after, Chen Sheng sessfully reached the woods. He searched everywhere, trying to find useful clues. Soon, He found a series of footprints on the ground stretching into the distance. Following the footprints for several hundred meters, The sky, which had been previously obscured by trees, suddenly opened up before him. Chen Sheng stopped. He hid his figure behind a tree. Not far ahead, There were two people in workers¡¯ uniforms standing by the riverside, looking around as if waiting for something. Next to themid a heavily injured man, who appeared to be unconscious. It was Shen Ziming. Chen Sheng activated his Eye of True View. Attributes of the two individuals appeared on the screen. [Wang Kang] [Strength: 2.73] [Agility: 1.52] [Constitution: 2.12] [Wang Jian] [Strength: 3.12] [Agility: 1.89] [Constitution: 3.07] A Light Energy Warrior and a Hidden Energy Warrior. Easy enough. Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes narrowed. However, the two were extremely cautious, and they were in an open area as soon as they left the woods. Trying to ambush them seemed a bit unrealistic. But this didn¡¯t bother Chen Sheng. He didn¡¯t need to ambush them, he could kill them both outright. The only thing he needed to be careful of was not letting them escape. With that in mind, he raised his hands and slowly walked out from behind the trees. ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡± His appearance immediately caught the attention of the Wang brothers. Both of them simultaneously assumed an attack posture, watching Chen Sheng warily. ¡°It¡¯s me, Li Si!¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t panic at all, just calmly raised his hands and slowly approached them. Who the hell is Zhang San or Li Si?! ¡°Don¡¯t move! Take off your hat and mask! ¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s words didn¡¯t make the brothers rx their guard. The stronger Wang Jian ordered, and at the same time, he squatted down, apparently preparing to jump into the river with Shen Ziming at any moment. Seeing this, Chen Sheng had no choice but to slow down. He slowly took off his mask and hat, his face looking frightened. ¡°Gentlemen, I¡¯m also from the factory. I just passed the test to be a peripheral member two days ago.¡± ¡°Are you here waiting for Mr. Hai?¡± With the mention of Mr. Hails name, their attention was drawn to him immediately. If it was someone from the Wu¡¯an Bureau, they should not know about Mr. Moreover, the Wu¡¯an Bureau would never send a single person here empty-handed. Thinking of this, the brothers unconsciously let down their guard. ¡°I barely escaped. Can I go with youter?¡± As he spoke, Chen Sheng continued to move his feet, but at a slower pace. Eleven meters. Ten meters. Nine meters¡ wait! At this moment, Wang Jian suddenly thought of something, his face changing. Something¡¯s not right! He knew a little about Mr. Hails n. The explosion in the chemical nt just now could also be heard here. If the person in front of him was a fugitive taken in by the factory, there¡¯s no way he could still be alive! ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± ¡°Who are you¡ª¡± Bang! Before Wang Jian could finish, Chen Sheng suddenly charged towards his younger brother, Wang Kang. The terrifying burst of power allowed him to instantly cover the distance between them. His fist, like a cannonball fired from a chamber, mmed into Wang Kang¡¯s chest under his astonished gaze. Heart belongs to fire, and the fist is like a cannon. The power of the cannon fist is swift and fierce, its force unstoppable. Stepping forward, Cannon fist! Bang! The sound of impact and the sound of bones cracking echoed simultaneously. Wang Kang¡¯s chest caved in, and his eyes immediately dimmed. With a ssh, his body flew up high, like he was hit by a cannonball, and fell into the river. ¡°Little brother!¡± Wang Jian roared in anger and threw a punch. ¡°Die!¡± A straight punch pierced through the air, aimed straight at Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Facing the oing attack, Chen Sheng remained calm andposed, not panicking at all. He saw him step forward with his left foot, twisting his body. The cross punch is like a bullet, breaking through straight attacks. Chen Sheng¡¯s muscles swelled up in an instant, his left armunched first, striking Wang Jian right under his left armpit! Bang! An intense pain made Wang Jian¡¯s facial expression twist, and he stumbled backwards. Showing no mercy, Chen Sheng quickly closed in. His arm, like an arrow off the string, shot out, smashing straight into Wang Jian¡¯s chest under his horrified gaze. Half-step copse fist! Bang! There was the sound of a crack. His breastbone shattered. Wang Jian was sent flying andnded heavily on the ground. ¡°Cough¡ªcough!¡± He tried to raise his upper body, as if wanting to say something. But blood kept pouring from his mouth. Finally, Wang Jian copsed to the ground, the light fading from his eyes. In just a few breaths, the Wang brothers. Dead.. Chapter 58 - 58: 57: The Video and The Murder of Li Qjan Chapter 58: Chapter 57: The Video and The Murder of Li Qjan Trantor: 549690339 One with dark force, another with light energy. In a few breaths¡¯ time, they couldn¡¯t struggle, and were killed outright by themselves. And at this time yesterday, He didn¡¯t even have one hundred percent confidence that he could defeat Li Qian. Looking at the body on the ground. Chen Sheng felt a little emotional. But he quickly pulled himself together and walked over to Shen Ziming¡¯s side. At this moment, Shen Ziming¡¯s swollen eyes slightly opened a slit. ¡°Brother?¡± He stared at Chen Sheng for a while before hesitantly speaking. He doesn¡¯t mention Chen Sheng¡¯s surname. Because if this is an illusion, or if he has mistaken it, Speaking carelessly will only bring disaster to Chen Sheng. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for a few days, and you¡¯re already this torn up?¡± It was not until Chen Sheng¡¯s yful voice sounded, That Shen Ziming realized the man in front of him was Chen Sheng. He was stunned. Then, A slight smile appeared on his face. ¡°I owe you another life.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, you can pay me back slowly.¡± Though he wasn¡¯t able to get detailed information about the mysterious organization from Li San, Being able to save Shen Ziming was rewarding enough. The urgent thing was to get him out of here as soon as possible to avoidplications. Chen Sheng effortlessly pulled away the rebar binding Shen Ziming. ¡°Can you move?¡± Chen Sheng returned to his position and picked up his mask and hat. ¡°No problem.¡± Shen Ziming slowly stood up from the ground. The torture inflicted on Shen Ziming by the mysterious organization was not just physical devastation. It was more of a dual torture of the body and mind, simr to waterboarding. After a brief rest, while he was unable to exertbat power, basic mobility was still there. He looked at the river. ¡°At the end of this river, there¡¯s a fishing vige.¡± ¡°Once there, we¡¯ll be temporarily safe.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Sheng nodded his head and immediately prepared to leave. But at this moment, His ear twitched as if he heard something. His stride didn¡¯t stop. Back to the woods, Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth slightly opened and closed. Shen Ziming remained expressionless, nodding almost imperceptibly. ¡°You go ahead, we¡¯ll regroup at a safe location.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s voice was slightly louder. ¡°You be careful.¡± Shen Ziming looked at him sternly. After saying that, He directly started running towards the lower part of the river. Soon, His figure disappeared from Chen Sheng¡¯s sight. Seeing this, Chen Sheng stopped. He turned around, dug out his ear, and looked at the woods behind him. ¡°Come out!¡± Chen Sheng ordered. However, In the woods, except for the sound of the leaves moving, there was no other sound. Chen Sheng¡¯s expression remained unchanged. He walked towards the woods step by step, all the while starting a verbal countdown. ¡°Three.¡± ¡°Two¡¡± Thud! A figure emerged from behind the trees. It was Li Qian. Seeing that her whereabouts were figured out, Li Qian remained calm. Before Chen Sheng could do anything, she held up her mobile phone. The mobile phone screen was showing a video. It was the full process of Chen Sheng killing the two brothers of the Wang family. And in the upper right corner of the screen, there was a green send button. ¡°If you take one more step forward, this video will be sent to my uncle¡¯s phone.¡± ¡°Or do you want to try, is your action quick, or my finger quick?¡± Li Qian waved the mobile phone in her hand, a hint of satisfaction shing in her eyes. Obviously, Holding Chen Sheng¡¯s fate in her hands made her feel very pleased. Thud. At hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s steps were halted instantly. He looked at Li Qian, his brows deeply furrowed. ¡°What do you want-¡± ¡°Shut up!!!¡± Looking at Chen Sheng¡¯s expression, Like being stabbed, Li qian swiftly became grotesquely furious and roared. ¡°I don¡¯t allow you to look at me with that expression!¡± ¡°Kneel down!¡± ¡°I want you to kneel down! ¡°You¡¯re trash, I hit you and you dare dodge!¡± ¡°I apologize to you, you don¡¯t ept it and dare fight back!¡± ¡°I want you to kneel down and apologize to me!!¡± Her eyes were red, she screamed hysterically, and her facial features twisted with ferocity. The loudness of her voice even startled the birds in the woods. Such a disturbance would undoubtedly attract attention if anyone was nearby. Seeing this situation, Chen Sheng felt more and more uneasy. As for Li Qian, Seeing that she finished speaking, Chen sheng remained still. ¡°You, won¡¯t, kneel?¡± Words squeezed out between her teeth one by one. Frosty light gleamed in her eyes. The finger slowly moved towards the green send button. ¡°Fine. ¡± At this time, Chen Sheng lowered his head, his face extraordinarily gloomy. He lifted his hands slowly. ¡°I¡¯ll kneel.¡± His knees began to bend down. Seeing this, Li Qianughed. The corners of her mouth were pulled back to the roots of her ears, almost distorting her face. As long as she has Chen Sheng¡¯s handle, In the future, Whatever she wants him to do, he¡¯ll do it. This piece of trash, From today onwards, he was her dog! Thinking about it, Li Qian was so excited that her body began to tremble uncontrobly. Watching Chen Shengs knees bend towards the ground bit by bit, A strong sense of satisfaction surged from her pathological heart and quickly filled her. She didn¡¯t even notice, In the woods behind her, There was a figure, She was quietly getting closer. Whoosh! A ck thread, suddenly shot out from the woods and dashed towards Li Qian. Feeling the sound of breaking air behind her head, Li Qian didn¡¯t turn her head back, she just slightly sidestepped her body and swerved the iing stone. At the same time, The posture of Chen Sheng, who was originally preparing to kneel down, suddenly erupted! But this did not surprise Li Qian, As soon as Shen Ziming left earlier, she had already thought that the other party might return tounch a sneak attack. Therefore, Her gaze was always locked on Chen Sheng. ¡°It¡¯s you who are seeking death!!¡± Seeing that Chen Sheng still wanted to resist, There was a fierce glow in Li Qian¡¯s eyes, and without any hesitation, she directly pressed the send button. At the same time, She instantly took a stance, her body¡¯s energy twisted into a line, and she punched towards the charging Chen Sheng. Bashing Fist! Li Qian did not have Chen Sheng¡¯s attribute panel and could not see the attributes of the two brothers from the Wang family. In her view, the reason why the two of them were easily killed by Chen Sheng was simply because they were too weak. But she was different. She originally nned to ckmail Chen Sheng with the video. Now it seems necessary to beat him to death here. ¡°Be careful!!¡± Shen Ziming, who was rushing towards her, saw Li Qian¡¯s punching momentum and immediately felt a sense of unease. This woman is actually a Hidden Energy Warrior! Her strength is profoundly different from that of the pig-faced man he encounteredst time. Chen Sheng was able to kill the pig-faced manst time due to a sneak attack and weapons. This time, he¡¯s confronting a Hidden Energy Warrior head-on, how could he possibly be an opponent? With that in mind, Shen Ziming gritted his teeth, forcing his already-exhausted body to rush towards Li Qian, nning to block her attack and buy Chen Sheng a chance to escape. But at this moment, Chen Sheng shouted. ¡°Get ready to catch the phone!¡± Phone? Shen Ziming was startled. Immediately after, Before he could understand, Chen Sheng had already rushed in front of Li Qian and assumed the same stance. Bashing Fist to counter Bashing Fist. Seeking death! Seeing Chen Sheng daring to stand up to her, Li Qian was first disdainful, and then felt a trace of humiliation. Who gave you the courage to stand up to me! Her face became stern. The force in her hand increased a bit more. She was aiming topletely shatter Chen Sheng¡¯s arm. The next second, Bang! Fists collided. Crack. Bones fractured. However, What both Shen Ziming and Li Qian hadn¡¯t expected was, the one that got broken was actually Li Qian¡¯s arm! Feeling the intense pain in her arm, the ferocity on Li Qian¡¯s face instantly froze. Then, it turned into shock. How is that possible?! Why is his strength bigger than mine?!!! Just yesterday he was nowhere near as strong as me! However , Before Li Qian had time to think, her body had already been swept back by the great strength. Seizing the opportunity. Chen Sheng took another step forward, his arm, like a cannonball, aimed straight at Li Qian. With a bang. Li Qian was sent flying directly, her body fell heavily on the ground. The mobile phone in her hand was thrown out at the same time. Shen Ziming who was on the side immediately caught it. He didn¡¯t hesitate, Taking advantage of the screen still being on, he lightly tapped, and directly canceled the video sending in the dialog box. Having done all this, Shen Ziming was staring at Chen Sheng nkly. If he hadn¡¯t remembered wrong. Thest time they met, Chen Sheng had just entered the stage of Light Energy. Why was it that in just two or three days, he was able to battle with Hidden Energy with his fist? Could it be that he had been poisoned by the mysterious organization and fainted for a month? Ignoring the stunned Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng¡¯s face was calm, he walked step-by-step towards Li Qian. Li Qian¡¯s heart was falling into a deep abyss. She looked at Chen Sheng who was walking towards her step by step, and a trace of fear rose from her heart without cause. ¡°Chen Sheng, killing me does no good for you.¡± ¡°If you kill me, my master won¡¯t let you go.¡± ¡°My uncle won¡¯t either.¡± Li Qian supported her body with both hands and kept moving backward. Seeing herself in a disadvantageous position, Li Qian¡¯s previously crazy demeanor was zone. p. Her back hit the tree root, she already had no where to retreat. ¡°I absolutely won¡¯t reveal anything about today.¡± Li Qian¡¯s voice was slightly trembling, but she still tried to persuade Chen Sheng. ¡°As long as you let go¡ªAh!¡± Before she finished speaking, Chen Sheng had already grabbed her hair and, showing no expression, pulled her up. Deep inside her heart, Fear began to spread incessantly. Li Qian¡¯s body began to shake involuntarily.bender But this time, It wasn¡¯t due to excitement. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I¡ª Bang! Chen Sheng¡¯s fist directly interrupted Li Qian¡¯s words. With a single punch, Li Qian¡¯s chest bone instantly fractured. ¡°Let me¡ªI¡¯ Bang! ¡°Chen Sheng, you¡¯ll never¡ª Bang! ¡°Have mercy¡ª Bang! ¡°So annoying.¡± Bang! Huge fists, one after another, firmly imprinted on Li Qian¡¯s chest. Every punch that fell, made Li Qian¡¯s eyes slightly dimmer. Blood sprayed all over Chen Sheng, Making him look like a devil crawling out of hell. Until the end, Chen Sheng let go. Li Qian¡¯s body was tossed aside by him like trash. Fear was still evident on her face. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He wiped off the blood on his face and walked nonchntly towards the downstream river bank. at this time, Shen Ziming finally came back to his senses, epting the fact that Chen Sheng had be so strong. He restored his usual gentle demeanor, and followed Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, it seems like you¡¯re getting more familiar with this kind of stuff.¡± ¡°I have no choice, there¡¯re always people seeking their own death.¡± ¡°Well said..¡± Chapter 59 - 58: Investigation and Heavenly Person or Non-human Chapter 59: Chapter 58: Investigation and Heavenly Person or Non-human Trantor: 549690339 Not long after Chen Sheng and Shen Ziming left. Guo Yang tracked Li Qian¡¯s trail all the way to the woods. As soon as he got here, he saw Li Qian¡¯s corpse on the ground, her face frozen in terror. His expression instantly became extremely ugly. Damn it! What a stupid woman, just trying to intercept a factory staff member and still managed to get herself killed. Guo Yang¡¯s expression was hideous, without the usual calm demeanor. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± At this moment, Mr. Hai walked out from behind Guo Yang with his hands behind him, shaking his head. ¡°What a brutal killer, too cruel.¡± He looked at the corpse on the ground and clicked his tongue in dismay. ¡°Did your people do this?¡± Guo Yang nced at Mr. Hai with a freezing cold tone. Now that Li Qian is dead, if his trouble increases once people find out she came out with him. ¡°You¡¯re hurting my feelings with that.¡± Mr. Hai clutched his chest, feigning heartbreak, which made Guo Yang¡¯s brow furrow. ¡°My man is lying over there.¡± Mr. Hai pointed to Wang Jian¡¯s corpse by the riverside with a nod of his mouth. His expression and attitude were as if a passing ant had died, not his subordinate. ¡°Moreover¡¡± At this point, Mr. Hai crouched down to examine Li Qian¡¯s corpse and then walked over to Wang Jian¡¯s corpse for a closer look. ¡°Both your junior sister and my subordinate were killed almost without resistance.¡± ¡°The murderer¡¯s strength level should only be at the An Jin fifth or sixth rank, but the speed of their moves is extremely fast, almost reaching the level of Transforming Power. ¡± ¡°There is no such master among my subordinates.¡± ¡°As for me, I¡¯ve been by your side all along.¡± Mr. Hai repeatedly waved his hands, looking like he was hurriedly trying to exin himself. Ignoring the pretentious Mr. Hai. Guo Yang remained silent for a moment, then turned and left without saying anything more. It¡¯s just the death of a stupid woman, Li Qian. The most important thing is not to cause any trouble for himself. Now that the Wu¡¯an Bureau in Jincheng District has been hit hard, the officials might make a big move. He must quickly return to the downtown area and create an alibi for himself. ¡°You¡¯re leaving just like that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to chat a bit more?¡± Behind him, Mr. Hai waved and shouted. Guo Yang didn¡¯t pay him any attention. Soon, his figure disappeared into the forest. Seeing this, Mr. Hai slowly lowered his hand. The smile on his face quickly faded. He walked to the riverside, and looked at the ground next to the riverbank. There were only a few messy footprints, nothing else. However , Mr. Hai couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°So stupid.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of just wiping out footprints?¡± He wandered around the area for a while, sniffing from time to time. Soon, he detected a mixture of blood and pepper scent in the air from a certain direction. Mr. Hai¡¯s mouth curled up, and he followed the scent in the air towards the direction where Chen Sheng and Shen Zi Ming had left. About 10 minutester, the sound of children¡¯sughter reached his ears. A small fishing vige appeared before Mr. Hai. ¡°Hiding here, huh¡¡± After briefly observing, he prepared to enter the vige. But just then, In the group of ying children not far away, a boy about seven or eight years old suddenly stopped and looked at Mr. Hai. A few secondster, as if certain of something, the boy ran towards Mr. Hai. ¡°Uncle!¡± Mr. Hai stopped. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, little buddy?¡± He smiled and spoke kindly. ¡°A big brother asked me to give you this.¡± The little boy took a note from his pocket. Mr. Hai looked slightly surprised. He took the note, but didn¡¯t read it right away. ¡°Little buddy, where is that big brother?¡± He asked the child in front of him. ¡°Big brother went swimming.¡± The little boy pointed to the river and made a diving gesture. ¡°Alright, go y.¡± Mr. Hai didn¡¯t ask further, just waved his hand. Then, He opened the note in his hand. [I¡¯ve gone far] [Don¡¯t worry or miss me] As if to respond to the content of the note- As soon as Mr. Hai finished reading, he suddenly heard a sirening from afar. Arge backup force from the Wu¡¯an Bureau had arrived. ¡°Really now.¡± Mr. Hai scratched his head. ¡°He didn¡¯t even say goodbye, that¡¯s not cool.¡± Now that such a big incident happened, the city¡¯s Wu¡¯an Bureau would definitely not let it go easily. For the time being, the entire Jincheng District would be under martialw, arresting any suspicious persons. It would be difficult to catch Shen Ziming again if he escaped this time. Thinking about it, Mr. Hai sighed helplessly, turned around and prepared to leave here. He didn¡¯t want to run into the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s search team, as he would have to kill a bunch of people to break through, which was too troublesome for him. At this time, In the basement of a wooden house in the fishing vige. Chen Sheng, in a new disguise, was eating the dry food given by the vigers upstairs. ¡°Brother Chen, just in case, you should stay put for a while and focus on improving yourself.¡± Shen Ziming took a bite of a tbread and said while chewing. ¡°I know.¡± Chen Sheng had killed a member of the mysterious organization, and even if the Wu¡¯an Bureau will search for suspicious people in Jincheng District in the near future, it¡¯s hard to guarantee that the mysterious organization won¡¯t send stronger people to investigate him. Chen Sheng nned to go home tonight, before nightfall, and bring his important things to find a new ce to live. However, Shen Ziming seemed to see Chen Sheng¡¯s thoughts. He shook his head. ¡°Quanjiang City isn¡¯t a big martial arts province, and Jincheng District is just a small city.¡± ¡°The organization went too far this time, and they wouldn¡¯t dare to act rashly for the time being, so as not to provoke the Wu¡¯an Bureau.¡± ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is¡¡± Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming with some confusion. ¡°You know about the Tide Rising Period, right?¡± Chen Sheng nodded. ¡°The Tide Rising Period started half a year ago and hasn¡¯t stopped until now.¡± ¡°When Qi reaches saturation, arge number of Qi-sensors will erupt in wellsprings and even¡¡± ¡°Heavenly Person will appear.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng was puzzled. ¡°Heavenly Person?¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t it already appeared?¡± Li Chenghu had mentioned before that among the national fugitives, there were a few Heavenly Persons with terrifying power. At the words, Shen Ziming nced at him with slight surprise. ¡°Didn¡¯t you receive my letter?¡± ¡°I did hilt you vomited blond on half of it _ I couldn¡¯t read it ¡± Chen Sheng rolled his eyes. ¡°Alright.¡± Shen Ziming looked away, and said slowly while looking at the tbread in his hand. ¡°Actually, I only know a little bit about this information.¡± ¡°The real Heavenly Person hasn¡¯t appeared yet.¡± ¡°Now, what the Martial Arts Association and the Wu¡¯an Bureau consider to be Heavenly Persons are actually just Qi-sensors with extremely high Qi Sense Talent. ¡± ¡°So what does the real Heavenly Person look like?¡± Chen Sheng asked immediately. But Shen Ziming shook his head again. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°What I do know are some things I discovered while investigating the mysterious organization, and some things I found in the family records.¡± ¡°But to sum up what is known so far, Heavenly Persons have two characteristics.¡± ¡°One, Heavenly Persons don¡¯t die.¡± ¡°Two, Heavenly Persons are not human and are born with great malice towards humans.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. Because Li Chenghu had said before, that in the past history, there were signs of many Heavenly Persons¡¯ existence. If what Shen Ziming said is true, Heavenly Persons don¡¯t die, then where did these people go? Chapter 60 - 59: Zhou Li and the Alley Shop Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Zhou Li and the Alley Shop Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng wanted to hear more from Shen Ziming. But at this moment, A rhythmic thumping sound was heard from above the heads of the two men. ¡°Zi Ming, it¡¯s ready.¡± Shen Ziming looked up. ¡°Brother Chen, it seems we must part ways again.¡± Suddenly, he covered his mouth, coughing violently. He removed his hand and revealed a shocking streak of blood. ¡°You¡¯re not going to die, are you? Then I would havee here for nothing.¡± Chen Sheng hurriedly went to support him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my life is cheap, I¡¯m sure to live long.¡± Shen Ziming smiled brilliantly, seemingly confident in his own words. ¡°For some time, I will need to go to other cities to find something that can cure my family¡¯s gic disease.¡± ¡°We may not see each other for a while.¡± At this point, Shen Ziming¡¯s smile faded. He looked at Chen Sheng seriously. ¡°Once the real chaos begins, the official attitude toward Qi-sensors will not be as tolerant as it is now.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be controlled by others, or be a broken wreck under the impact of the sweeping tidal wave of the times.¡± ¡°Be stronger, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Use every means to be strong as fast as possible.¡± With that, Shen Ziming smiled again. ¡°Don¡¯t let me have no chance to repay the favor you did me.¡± ¡°Just take care of yourself.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand. Although he also wanted to talk more with Shen Ziming, to inquire about Heavenly People, the Tide Rising Period, and Qi-sensors. But now is not the right time. He also had to hurry back to the city and pretend that nothing had happened. The two men left the basement. A dark- skinned fisherman couple was waiting above. ¡°Zi Ming, I¡¯ve prepared the boat.¡± The middle-aged man looked worriedly at the somewhat weak Shen Ziming. ¡°Thank you, Uncle Liu.¡± Shen Ziming nodded, preparing to follow the man and leave by boat. ording to Shen Ziming, He used to live nearby for a while and had some dealings with this family. That¡¯s why they were willing to help them. ¡°Brother Chen, we¡¯ll meet again.¡± Shen Ziming waved goodbye to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng did not speak but nodded silently. After the couple left with Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng also turned his gaze away. Next, He too should return to the city and take care of his own business. As long as he bes strong enough, No matter what changes happen in the world, he will be able to deal with it calmly. With that thought, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes shed with determination. He also left the cabin. He nced at Shen Ziming¡¯s retreating figure. He turned and went in the other direction. Afternoon. Chen Sheng returned to the city as quickly as possible, and on the way back, he picked up the weighted steel bars he had hidden in a secluded corner one by one. After getting rid of the clothes, he immediately headed to the gym. Upon arriving, the time was not much different from when he usually arrived after lunch. As usual, He left immediately after working out at the gym. Standing beside the road, Chen Sheng looked at his current attributes. Today, for the entire morning, he had maintained the operation of the Three-Body Technique. It was time to see, how big the attribute improvement of the Perfect Three-Body Technique was for him. At this look, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 4.13] [Agility: 4-41] [Constitution: 4-37] [Skill Points: 2.09] Strength increased by 0.5 Agility increased by 0.5 Constitution increased the most, a full 0.68. Overall attributes have all broken through the four-point barrier. ording to the standard that the gap widens as you advance in realm, Hidden Energy Warriors have a strength and constitution increase of 0.5 for each stage. Now, Chen Sheng can be considered a Hidden Energy Five-stage Martial Artist. One more step, when he reaches 5 points in attributes, he can upgrade the Five Elements Fist and advance to Transforming Power. This was just the improvement within half a day¡¯s time. Now, apart from feeling very hungry, Chen Sheng did not feel too much fatigue. Looking at the massive improvement, his breathing couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat rapid. Tomorrow. As long as tomorrow came, he could reach the level of Transforming Power. At that time, he could officially start practicing Eagle¡¯s Breath. By the way, he would see if this breathing technique was indeed as mysterious as Shen Ziming said it was. Chen Sheng picked up his thermos and took a big swig of Vitality Soup, barely suppressing his excitement. Next, he did not n to go home directly. Yesterday, Shen Ziming left the whereabouts of the second half of the Eagle¡¯s Breath in his letter. Chen Sheng wanted to check out the situation first. If he could get it easily, that would be great. But if there were any conditions or special channels required, it would be better to know earlier and find a way. With that in mind, He took out his phone to navigate and entered the address Shen Ziming gave. The address was in the Port District, 11 kilometers away from here. For Chen Sheng at present, this was just a piece of cake. Without any dy, he started running. Half an hourter. Port District, in an old alley. ¡°Navigation ended. ¡± ¡°Your destination has been reached, on your left.¡± ¡°Thank you for using hical Map. Looking forward to meeting you again.¡± Following the navigation instructions, Chen Sheng looked to his left. A puzzled look quickly appeared on his face. ¡°Yang Army Food Nine Store?!¡± This was an old, dpidated store. The red billboard seemed to be covered with ayer of light gray. Even the characters representing the store¡¯s name had fallen off quite a bit. It took him a while, Before Chen Sheng finally determined the name of the store. It was not Yang Army Food Nine Store. It was Yinghui Grocery Store. At this moment, Chen Sheng seriously doubted that the hical Map had scammed him. From any angle, This ce did not seem to have the second half of Eagle¡¯s Breath. But since he was here already, Chen Sheng decided to ask anyway. With that thought, He pulled open the ss door and stepped in. ¡°Hello, is anyone here¡ªcough cough!¡± As soon as he entered, The musty smell that hit his face made the keen-sensed Chen Sheng almost lose his breath. In an instant, He felt as if he was in an old house in a deserted vige. After coughing a few times, Chen Sheng gradually recovered his senses. He looked around, And saw rusty iron shelves and somewhat moldy wooden tables. Various bottles and jars were ced on the iron shelves, which seemed to be food materials. However, All these bottles and jars had a thickyer of dust on their surfaces. Chen Sheng seriously doubted their production dates. Thud! ¡°Someone¡¯s here! Wait for me!¡± At this moment, From the depths of the small store, the sound of crashing and painful groans came from behind the counter. p! A hand as thin as an eagle¡¯s w rested on the ss counter. ¡°Oh, my old back¡ª¡± Then, An old man wearing a thick cotton jacket and pants, with a slightly hunched figure, slowly emerged. As soon as he saw Chen Sheng, He immediately showed a smile. The wrinkles on his face were instantly squeezed together, making it somewhat hair-raising to look at. ¡°What do you want to buy,d?¡± The old man leaned on the counter, iron shelf, and table, holding his waist, and slowly approached Chen Sheng. This made Chen Sheng¡¯s eyelids jump. At the same time. With the effect of the Eye of True View, The old man¡¯s attributes appeared before Chen Sheng. [Zhou Li] [Strength: 1.32] [Agility: 1.62] tconstltutlon: 1.24J [Skills: Ancient Eagle w Hand Lv: Perfection, Eagle-shaped Forging Body Skill LVI: 1/2000] Chapter 61 - 60: Practice and Entry Invitation Chapter 61: Chapter 60: Practice and Entry Invitation Trantor: 549690339 This attribute¡ doesn¡¯t seem too different from normal people. That was Chen Sheng¡¯s first reaction when he saw Zhou Li¡¯s attributes. However, When he saw the skills Zhou Li possessed. Ancient Eagle w Hand? Eagle-shaped Body Forging Skill? Chen Sheng knew then, that he had found the right person. ¡°Hello, I am here to¡.¡± Just as Chen Sheng was about to speak, trying to probe the other¡¯s intentions. Swish! A withered palm shed in front of Chen Sheng, interrupting his words abruptly. A knowing look appeared on Zhou Li¡¯s face. ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°You want that one, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Come with me.¡± With that, Zhou Li turned and moved towards the area behind the ss counter, signaling Chen Sheng to follow him. ¡°Shut the door,e over quickly.¡± Huh? Which one is that? Chen Sheng was a bit confused, but he still went over. ¡°Finding your way to me, that¡¯s not easy.¡± ¡°I can give you the thing.¡± ¡°But after you leave, don¡¯t tell anyone.¡± ¡°People outside have been watching me closely.¡± He nced at Chen Sheng, looking quite serious. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s face tightened. It seemed, that this old man Zhou Li, seemed to know he wasing for the Body Forging Skill. Did Shen Zimingmission him? Thinking of this, Chen Sheng¡¯s breath was also careful. ¡°I got it.¡± He maintained aposed expression and nodded quite seriously. The atmosphere gradually became a bit heavy. As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Sheng saw. Old man Zhou Li, pulled out two slightly faded bamboo sticks from under the table, along with a stainless steel pot. Then, he lifted the pot lid and inserted the two bamboo sticks into the pot. A small piece of maltose candy was coiled up. The bamboo sticks flipped up and down. The maltose candy gradually became milky white at a visible speed. About ten secondster. ¡°Here, five yuan.¡± The maltose candy was handed to Chen Sheng. ¡°Ever since the hygiene bureau said it¡¯s not hygienic here and stopped me from selling, there haven¡¯t been many buyers.¡± ¡°Good for you to appreciate it.¡± ¡°Try it quickly, it¡¯s sweet.¡± Zhou Li grinned as he poked the maltose candy towards Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng kept a straight face and pushed Zhou Li¡¯s hands away. ¡°Do you believe I will overturn your pot?¡± At this, Zhou Li became nervous immediately. He held the steel pot in both his hands, looking guardedly at Chen Sheng. ¡°Are you from the hygiene bureau?¡± Chen Sheng silently clenched his fists. To his forehead appeared a vein that was about to pop. Damn it! He made the sale of maltose candy all mysterious, making me nervous unnecessarily. ¡°Sigh¡ª Chen Sheng released a sigh. ¡°Do you know the Eagle-shaped Forging Body Skill?¡± After such a distraction from the other side, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t feel like beating around the bush anymore, so he asked directly. ¡°You¡¯re not here to buy maltose candy?¡± Hearing this, Zhou Li suddenly became somewhat displeased. ¡°Wasting my stuff for nothing.¡± He took a bite of the maltose candy. ¡°Want to learn the Stance Practice of my Eagle w Sect?¡± ¡°Pay.¡± m! A QR code was pped onto the table. Simple. Direct. As if buying vegetables at a market. ¡°How much?¡± ¡°Eagle w Hand 268, Eagle Body Skill 468, which one do you want?¡± ¡°Both. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll charge you 700 for the bundle, but you wasted my maltose candy, so transfer 705.¡± Ding! ¡°Received payment of 705 yuan.¡± ¡°Thank you for your patronage, wee to visit again.¡± One minuteter. Chen Sheng was standing at the entrance of the Yinghui Grocery Store. He lowered his head, looking at the two old-fashioned books in his hands. Then he looked up at the somewhat ring afternoon sun. What? His face still had a dazed look. He got it just like that? Chen Sheng felt unreal at that moment, as if he were dreaming. Meanwhile, Looking at the two books in his hand, he couldn¡¯t help but harbor a sliver of doubt. Could they be fakes? He quickly flipped through the books, meticulously inspecting every corner. Thankfully, he found no words mentioning a certain printing factory. But still, doubt lingered in his heart. Chen Sheng did not immediately leave. To verify the authenticity of the Body Forging Technique in his hands, he still had one way to do it. Just now, He had read through the actions required for the Body Forging Technique. They weren¡¯t hard. Only simple, fine-tuned details that were trivial matters to Chen Sheng who now possessed Perfect Tri-body Style and Level 2 Five Elements Fist. He resolved to master the beginner¡¯s Body Forging Technique right here. If sessful, the Body Forging Technique skill would appear on his panel. If unsessful, he¡¯d return to the store to get his money back and take advantage of the opportunity to flip Zhou Li¡¯s maltose candy pot. Having carefully thought this out, Chen Sheng looked around him. This little alley was quite remote, rarely frequented by people. He didn¡¯t have to worry about attracting attention. Moving a few steps to the side, he arrived at the side of the store¡¯s entrance. Closing his eyes. Chen Sheng started to perform the movements he had memorized earlier, cautiously controlling his muscles and breathing as described in the book. He stretched both his arms to their limit, palms shaped like eagle ws. His knees slightly bent, he slowly moved forwards. His arms moved slowly, following the movement of his legs. As time passed gradually, Chen Sheng got into his element, his demeanor gradually sharpening. Over and over again, he practiced and got familiar with the Eagle-shaped Forging Body Technique¡¯s movements. At this moment, If anyone was watching, They would notice that Chen Sheng was like a majestic eagle, repeatedly performing the movements of soaring, swooping down for a kill, and hunting for food. Twenty minutester. Feeling that he had grown familiar with the movements, Chen Sheng concluded his practice. [Eagle-shaped Forging Body Skill Ivo: 1/1000] It¡¯s real! A look of joy appeared on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. He didn¡¯t expect that, for just a few hundred yuan, he¡¯d actually acquired the Eagle-shaped Forging Body Skill. Next up, was to quickly achieve Transforming Power and immediatelymence practicing the Eagle¡¯s breath. With these thoughts in mind, Chen Sheng turned around preparing to leave the alley. It was gettingte, and he also needed to head home to pack up some important things and then find a ce to stay for the night. ¡°Take care, old man.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand, bidding farewell to Zhou Li who was hiding behind the ss door. He had long noticed the other party was spying on him. But after all, this was the other party¡¯s store, so it wasn¡¯t his ce to tell Zhou Li what to do. At this moment, Seeing Chen Sheng ready to leave, Whoosh Zhou Li pulled open the ss door quickly. ¡°Are you a Qi-sensor?¡± ¡°Can I help you with something?¡± Chen Sheng turned his head around, neither denying nor affirming. ¡°How about joining my Eagle Body Sect and bing my disciple?¡± Zhou Li crossed his arms, trying to look profound and unfathomable. ¡°Training alone is slow progress.¡± ¡°Be it the Eagle w Hand or the Body Forging Technique, I have mastered them for years, with my guidance, I guarantee you¡¯ll make great strides, how about it?¡± ¡°No, thanks, I have a Master already. Goodbye.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng turned around to leave. Not to mention that he had already epted Li Chenghu as his Master, Judging by guidance alone, Did heck guidance? What hecked were Skill Points! With Skill Points, his martial arts training would advance faster than anybody else¡¯s. However, Zhou Li hadn¡¯t given up. ¡°Or I could be your disciple too, and be a grand-disciple to your Master.¡± Chen Sheng stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Zhou Li, his face etched with astonishment. ¡°Old man,¡± ¡°You might want to listen to what you¡¯re saying.¡± Ahem¡ª Zhou Li also realized that what he was saying was rather unrealistic. ¡°You could just be a member of my Eagle Body Sect, no need to officially be a disciDle.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng harbored suspicions. He didn¡¯t understand why the other party was so insistent on him joining the Eagle Body Sect. Could there be an ulterior motive? The current Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to attract unnecessary trouble, he just wanted to focus on enhancing his capabilities quickly. ¡°I apologize, I must be leaving.¡± After contemting briefly, he refused again. Seeing Chen Sheng about to leave, Zhou Li shook his head and sighed, only able to turn around and walk back into the store. ¡°To cultivate the Breathing Technique, but without spirit medicine, it¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°After I die, there will no longer be Eagle Body Sect.¡± ¡°Our sect¡¯s stipend of spirit medicine each month, it¡¯ll just be wasted.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve held off iming it for two to three months already¡¡± Without even finishing his sentence A hand reached out from behind, supporting Zhou Li¡¯s hunched back. ¡°Old man, let¡¯s discuss this inside the house..¡± Chapter 62 - 61: Trading and Night Raid with Guo Yang Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Trading and Night Raid with Guo Yang Trantor: 549690339 Dusk. Funeral home, morgue. ¡®Who the hell is it?!!!¡± Li Xingwu¡¯s beard and hair dance wildly, his eyes bloodshot, like an angry lion. In just one day¡¯s time. His son Li Chenghuys in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment. His granddaughter Li Qian has be a cold corpse. ¡°Master.¡± A deep voice speaks. Guo Yang stands behind Li Xingwu, his face filled with grief. ¡°It¡¯s my fault, I didn¡¯t keep an eye on my junior sister.¡± His tone is full of guilt, seemingly truly heartbroken. ¡°Guo Yang.¡± Li Xingwu looks at Li Qian on the table, and speaks softly. ¡°Your junior sister may have had a bad temper.¡± ¡°But she was a good child, she didn¡¯t deserve to die like this.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a useless person, I can¡¯t protect her parents, nor can I protect her.¡± ¡°But the person who killed her, who killed her parents.¡± ¡°Not one¡can be spared, I will tear them to pieces!¡± Li Xingwu¡¯s voice is trembling, But his tone is filled with chilling coldness, like falling into an ice cave. ¡°Master, rest assured, wherever the murderer is, I will find him and kill him!¡± Guo Yang vows solemnly. However , After he speaks, Li Xingwu falls silent. After a while, he speaks again. ¡°No.¡± But Li Xingwu refuses him. ¡°I¡¯ll handle this matter.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let go of a single person from that mysterious organization.¡± ¡°Now I only have you and your junior brother Wu left, you two must not have any idents.¡± ¡°You just need to focus on practicing martial arts, don¡¯t worry about anything Saying this, Li Xingwu turns and leaves directly, seemingly unwilling to look at Li Qian¡¯s lifeless body again. Behind him, Guo Yang stares nkly in the direction Li Xingwu leaves, clenching his fists silently. ¡°Master, just wait.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you know who your most reliable disciple is.¡± At this point, He looks at Li Qian. The corner of his mouth hooks up slightly. ¡°Junior sister, rest in peace.¡± ¡°Senior brother will avenge you.¡± Guo Yang already has a clue about who the killer is. Mr. Hai has shared the mysterious organization¡¯s intelligence with him. The person who killed Li Qian at the time also saved Shen Ziming. The other party¡¯s strength was only slightly stronger than Li Qian¡¯s, but their attack speed was extremely fast. Only then they were able to incapacitate Li Qian with almost no resistance and kill her alive. For some reason, When hearing this information, Guo Yang¡¯s mind conjures up an image. Chen Sheng. At the Wu¡¯an Bureau training ground, Guo Yang had already noticed, Chen Sheng¡¯s strength at the time would not exceed the Hidden Energy Level at most. But his attack speed was terrifyingly fast. Combined with Mr. Hails ims that the opponent was once Shen Ziming¡¯s neighbor, All information can be linked to Chen Sheng one by one. The only thing, Only two days ago, when Guo Yang saw Chen Sheng, he did not yet have the strength to kill Li Qian. To know, With each stage of a Qi-sensor, the gap growsrger towards the end. Even with the Breathing Technique, it¡¯s hard to exin Chen Sheng¡¯s growth rate. But Guo Yang doesn¡¯t intend to rule out Chen Sheng¡¯s suspicions. Strength, as long as it¡¯s tested, can be known. Guo Yang¡¯s eyes sh a cold light. If Chen Sheng is really the one who killed Li Qian. Then Chen Sheng may know he was also in the chemical nt at the time. Even if there¡¯s only the slightest possibility, Chen Sheng must not be spared. Thinking of this, Guo Yang strides toward the door and leaves. Evening. Chen Sheng returns home, when he doesn¡¯t even have time to rest, he quickly starts packing his things. After having a friendly conversation with Old Man Zhou Li. The two sessfully reach an agreement. Eagle Body Sect is Zhou Li¡¯s family sect. ording to him, it was once a well-known faction in Quanjiang City in its early years. Untilter, With the continuous progress of the times, martial arts gradually decline. Such major sects as Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua gradually wither away, let alone their small sects. By Zhou Li¡¯s generation, he hadn¡¯t even taken any disciples, maintaining the existence of the Eagle Body Sect alone. As they discuss, Zhou Li, fearing that Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t believe him, drags him to the door. They see in the bottom right corner of the Yinghui Grocery Store¡¯s photo, three little words. Eagle Body Sect. Behind the grocery store, there are various martial arts training tools. It is simply a small martial arts hall hidden among the people. However, Zhou Li is now suffering from cancer and doesn¡¯t have much time left. Plus, he has a solitary personality, without any family or friends. Once he dies, the Eagle Body Sect will disappearpletely from this world. He tried to document his martial arts skills in a book, selling it at a very low price. Unfortunately, the Eagle w Skill, in most people¡¯s impression, is nothing more than an extra¡¯s technique. Even if it was given for free, not many are willing to practice it. Let alone paying for it. Thus, Zhou Li would offer spirit medicine in exchange for Chen Sheng¡¯s help in supervising his sect for some time after his death. Once Chen Sheng recruits one or two gifted disciples, he can leave on his own. The requirement is almost non-binding to Chen Sheng. It¡¯s equivalent to getting spirit medicine for free. Naturally, he had no reason to reject. Eventually, the two sessfully reached a deal. By a happy coincidence, Chen Sheng also needed to find a ce to live and focus on improving his strength during this time. The Eagle Body Sect was secluded and well-equipped. It couldn¡¯t be more suitable. At this moment, Chen Sheng returned home, Immediately began packing his clothes and pulled out the book containing the Eagle¡¯s Breath technique from under the bed. After putting important items in his bag, he turned off the lights and locked the door. Chen Sheng went out and looked up at the sky. The sky was gradually getting dark. He was ready to depart immediately. But at this moment. ¡°Chen Sheng, where are you going?¡± A voice suddenly rang out from a distance. who? With a swish, Chen Sheng was shocked and swiftly turned his head to look. It had been a long time since he had had this kind of experience where someone approached him unnoticed. Soon, A thin figure cloaked in ck appeared before his eyes. But for Chen Sheng, The disguise was useless. Activating the Eye of True View, The other party¡¯s attributes leap into view. [Guo Yang] [Strength: 6.92] [Agility: 4-53] [Constitution: 6.91] [Skills: Three-body Stance LV2, Five Elements Fist LV2, Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Lvo] Guo Yang?! Why would he be here? Did he find out about Chen Sheng killing Li Qian? ¡°Who are you?¡± Chen Sheng furrowed his brow and asked solemnly. The other party went out of their way to hide their face to find him. Anyway, it didn¡¯t seem like they were up to any good. Therefore, Even if Chen Sheng knew the other party¡¯s identity, he didn¡¯t reveal it. ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon enough.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, sh! Guo Yang didn¡¯t waste any more words and rushed directly towards Chen Sheng, his figure transformed into a ck thread. So fast! Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils contracted. Almost in an instant, the enemy was right in front of him. A strong wind hit his face, An intense sense of danger made Chen Sheng feel as if he was being stabbed. A fist in his line of sight kept erging. In the moment of crisis, Chen Sheng crossed his arms, blocking the blow in front of his body. Boom! Chen Sheng¡¯s body was instantly thrown backward, flying out of the wall. Hmm? However, Guo Yang frowned. Something felt off. The feeling from his fist wasn¡¯t like hitting a human body, but more like a block of iron. Moreover, Before his force was released, the other party had already been sent flying. Considering this, Guo Yang quickly rushed forward to check on Chen Sheng¡¯s condition. But at that moment, A ck shadow shed in front of him. Chen Sheng was running away in the distance. Foolish. When you are beingpletely dominated in terms of physical strength, how far could you possibly run? Guo Yang sneered disdainfully and chased after him directly. However, What Guo Yang didn¡¯t expect was, As soon as he approached Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng swung his arm, and a ck shadow shot out from his hand, aiming straight at Guo Yang. Guo Yang dodged to the side. The ck shadow hit the ground, making a thud. It was a steel bar.. Chapter 63 - 62: Escape and Strength Growth Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Escape and Strength Growth Trantor: 549690339 The two¡¯s chasested nearly a kilometer. During this time, One steel bar after another was thrown at Guo Yang. The nging sounds were continuous. The surrounding residents asionally peeked out to check on the situation, but could only see two ck lines shing by. The more they chased, the more astonished Guo Yang was as he looked at Chen Sheng, who always maintained a distance from him. Along the way, Chen Sheng¡¯s speed increased a bit each time he threw a steel bar. Until now, the difference between them seemed almost negligible. What a joke?! An An Jin and a Transforming Power had simr speeds?! This was beyond Guo Yang¡¯sprehension. After nearly a kilometer, the two gradually left the quiet Wutong Vige and were about to reach the Wutong Intersection. Whistles and noisy sounds gradually rose. Guo Yang stopped. Chasing like this, even if he caught up with Chen Sheng, it would only cause moremotion. He just stood there, watching Chen Sheng¡¯s gradually shrinking back, with a cold glint in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking. Several kilometerster, Chen Sheng, who stopped, looked somewhat pale. He raised his right hand, only to see his forearm grotesquely bent. Just looking at it could not help but make one¡¯s scalp tingle. Chen Sheng looked at his twisted arm, and with his other hand, grabbed it. There was a cracking sound! The arm was forcibly twisted back to its normal angle. His forehead bulged with green veins and the constant cold sweat seemed to be telling how much pain Chen Sheng was enduring at this moment. And this was just the effect of Guo Yang¡¯s punch. However, there was no trace of fear in Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. He only felt more and more irritated. ¡°Annoying, every single one of them¡¡± ¡°I just want to practice quietly, why won¡¯t you let me?¡± ¡°Why do you have to¡ seek death!¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s tone gradually became colder. After killing Li Qian, Chen Sheng¡¯s state of mind had undergone earth-shattering changes without him realizing it. In the past, facing such situations, he only thought about avoiding their sharp edges. But now, what he was thinking in his mind was not how powerful Guo Yang was, but how long it would take for him to kill the opponent. And Chen Sheng¡¯s estimate was¡ Two days. Based on his current rate of progress, it would only take two days to kill Guo Yang, whose attributes were nearly twice his own. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng looked towards the direction of Wutong Vige. ¡°Two days¡¡± He murmured to himself. Afterwards, Chen Sheng retracted his gaze and walked towards the Port District. One hourter. Inside Yinghui Grocery Store, There was a crash sound. The ss door was flung open. ¡°Yo, yo, yo, our acting leader is here?¡± ¡°The room is ready, you go and put your stuff first, thene back quickly to eat. ¡± Zhou Li walked out from the backyard with a cheerful tone, about to greet Chen Sheng, but suddenly stopped. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhou Li quickly stepped forward, looking at Chen Sheng¡¯s swollen arm with wonder. ¡°Kid, getting beaten up like this is a bit disgraceful for our Eagle Body Sect.¡± As he spoke, Zhou Li mischievously poked Chen Sheng¡¯s arm, causing him to gasp in pain. ¡°You f*cking don¡¯t push me to hit an old man!¡± Chen Sheng gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly. ¡°There are only two of us in the Eagle Body Sect, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s disgraceful, if you want to lose face, go ahead and lose it yourself.¡± He¡¯ll kill Guo Yang in two days. Then there won¡¯t be any disgrace. That¡¯s what he thought. ¡°Alright, alright, your room is in the right-hand side of the backyard, put your things there thene back quickly to eat.¡± With that, Zhou Li hurried to the kitchen. Chen Sheng also walked through the small door in the depths of the grocery store and arrived at the backyard. There were two rooms in the backyard, one for Zhou Li and one for Chen Sheng. In the middle was a not-so-small open space. There were various training equipment made by Zhou Li. Though he had given up training after being diagnosed with cancer. But he still wiped it clean every day, so it looked very clean. With a creak. Chen Sheng pushed open his wooden house. The room was antique, with various wooden carvings and furniture. Chen Sheng tidied up briefly, put away his important belongings, and returned to the grocery store. Ten minutester. He sat with Zhou Li at the kitchen table, both with heavy expressions, and no one said a word. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Chen Sheng pointed to a te of ck stuff and asked solemnly. ¡°Tomato scrambled eggs.¡± ¡°What about this?¡± He pointed to another stack of green paste. ¡°Broli stir-fried with meat.¡± As for the pan in the middle, bubbling and looking like poison, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t even want to ask. With a snap. He put down his chopsticks and sighed deeply. ¡°How did you live to this age?¡± ¡°In the past, my wife cooked. After my wife¡¯s death, I didn¡¯t cook.¡± ¡°What do you eat normally?¡± ¡°Takeout.¡± ¡°Then order takeout for me! Don¡¯t show off your cooking!¡± ¡°Give me back my meal money!¡± Chen Sheng stretched his hand out in front of Zhou Li. Zhou Li pretended not to hear. He looked at Chen Sheng¡¯s arm in astonishment. ¡°Huh, how did your arm¡¯s swelling go down so quickly?¡± Over time, the physical attribute improvement brought on a healing effect, which had already reduced Chen Sheng¡¯s arm swelling significantly. It was estimated that in another hour or two, he would be fully recovered. ¡°Give me back my meal money!¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t fall for it. Seeing this, Zhou Li shook his head and sighed, So he went into the store and started dialing for takeout. ¡°Hello, Old Zhang.¡± ¡°Cook some dishes for me and deliver them to my store.¡± ¡°A junior is visiting and staying for a few days, so I¡¯d like to make it a bit morevish.¡± Zhou Li called for takeout from a ce at the entrance of the alley. In less than twenty minutes, the food was delivered. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but nod in appreciation. Now this was food fit for human consumption. Nighttime. Zhou Li closed the store early. An hourter, Chen Sheng, with his arm fully recovered, went to the backyard to do some exercise. Before leaving in the morning, he had finished drinking the Vitality Soup in the afternoon. With Chen Sheng¡¯s current body, it wasn¡¯t enough to keep him training in the Three-Body Technique all day. Even so, his current improvement rate was staggering. Zhou Li just stood aside and watched Chen Sheng squatting with a stone ball weighing two hundred pounds, his eyes filled with envy. If he were a Qi-sensor, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have to die, perhaps he could make the Eagle Body Sect great. ¡°Old man, won¡¯t you try some treatment?¡± It seemed to sense Zhou Li¡¯s gaze, Chen Sheng asked while exercising. ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve tried it a few times before, and it made me miserable.¡± ¡°I¡¯d rather enjoy myst days.¡± Chen Sheng did not try to persuade him any further. One trained and the other watched. Time passed slowly like this. Two hourster. After finishing his training, Chen Sheng looked at the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 4-56] [Agility: 4-73] [Physical Attribute: 4.86] [Skill Points: 3-33] Constitution increased by 0.49 Agility increased by 0.32 Strength increased by 0.43 Training for an entire day, with the help of the Perfection level Three-Body Technique, Chen Sheng¡¯s three attributes had almost increased by almost one point each. The growth rate exceeded his previous levels. He tried to perform the Xingyi Five Elements Fist. His fists sliced through the air one after another. There wasn¡¯t much noise. However, Chen Sheng could clearly feel the immense power filling every corner of his body in each movement. The An Jin strength he unleashed was far stronger than yesterday. With his current level, if he faced Li Qian again, a single punch with the An Jin unleashed would be enough to crush her heart. Chen Sheng had a vague feeling. Maybe tomorrow, tomorrow, he could break through to the Transforming Power level.. Chapter 64 - 63: Spirit Medicine and Obstacles Arising Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Spirit Medicine and Obstacles Arising Trantor: 549690339 Night. Chen Shengy on the bed, looking at his phone. The screen was showing the chat window with Xu Rou. In the afternoon, Chen Sheng had sent a message to Li Chenghu to inquire about his condition. At the chemical nt, he had also heard the explosion. However, Li Chenghu hadn¡¯t replied even until now. Fortunately, he still had Xu Rou¡¯s contact information, and she had participated in the operation as well. From Xu Rou, Chen Sheng learned the details of the morning¡¯s operation and the heinous acts of the mysterious organization. Human bombs. Even though Chen Sheng already knew that the mysterious organization was not good, such actions were simply horrifying. Now, Li Chenghu was still in the intensive care unit. Although his life as a Qi-sensor was not in great danger, it might take some time for him to recover. That was why Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t received a reply. After ending the chat with Xu Rou, Chen Sheng put down his phone. Looking at the ceiling, he gradually fell into deep thought. Guo Yang would definitely not let things go. There were many security cameras in the city now, and even in remote areas like this, it wouldn¡¯t be hard to find him. The enemy might attack again in a short time. Based on his experience this time, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t think Guo Yang would be unprepared then. Before the opponent arrived, he had to do everything possible to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Fortunately, Zhou Li had already told him that he would go to the Martial Arts Association in Quanjiang City tomorrow to collect their share of spirit medicines for the past few months. Although the share was very small every month, the umtion of nearly half a year. It was enough for Chen Sheng¡¯s strength to make a great leap forward in the following period. Just¡ ¡°Cough, cough ¨C cough, cough!¡± Listening to the increasingly intense coughing from next door, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but worry. Boom, boom. He came to the backyard and knocked on Zhou Li¡¯s door. ¡°Old man, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m¡ªfine!¡± ¡°My body is strong cough, cough -¡± The extremely hoarse voice of Zhou Li could be heard from inside. Chen Sheng rolled his eyes. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll go tomorrow.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid no one will care if you die halfway.¡± ¡°You stinky little¡ªcough, cough!¡± If it had been before, Zhou Li would not have been able to stand this anger and would have gotten up to argue with Chen Sheng all night. Unfortunately, now, as soon as the temperature drops at night, he starts coughing non-stop. Let alone arguing, even talking is difficult. Having no choice, he could only quickly get back under the thick covers after taking the medicine given by the doctor. Chen Sheng also returned to his room and prepared to go to bed early. The night passed without incident. The next day, early in the morning. Chen Sheng went to the kitchen and put the herbs for the Vitality Soup into the pot to cook. Then, he put on his hat and mask and went out to buy breakfast. Half an hourter. Chen Sheng came back to the grocery store with buns and soy milk. He happened to run into Zhou Li waking up. The old man didn¡¯t seem to mind at all, and sat at the table waiting for Chen Sheng to take out the breakfast with a cheerful smile. ¡°Ha ha, you¡¯re a sensible kid.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go to the Martial Arts Associationter to get the spirit medicine for you.¡± As Zhou Li spoke, he kept coughing, as if he was going to cough up his lungs. Even the thick cotton jacket he was wearing didn¡¯t seem to provide enough warmth. ¡°That¡¯s enough, old man, take it easy. I can goter.¡± This time, Zhou Li didn¡¯t refuse. He looked at his hands, which were like eagle ws. In the past, these hands could easily tear apart a piece of wood. But now, they were trembling incessantly even when holding a bun. Zhou Li sighed deeply. ¡°I¡¯ll prepare the documents for you in a while. Just give them to the staff at the Martial Arts Association, and you can get the spirit medicine.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Sheng replied with a single word. The two of them didn¡¯t talk anymore and ate their breakfast quietly. After they finished eating, Zhou Li went back to his room to prepare the materials. Chen Sheng came to the kitchen, poured the cooked Vitality Soup into a cup, and took a big sip. He epted the thick stack of documents handed over by Zhou Li. They included changes in the sect¡¯s positions, changes in the sect¡¯s personnel, and manyplicated procedures, all of which Zhou Li had stamped with his seal. ¡°I¡¯m leaving, old man.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand and disappeared beyond the ss door. ¡°Sigh¡ª Looking in the direction where Chen Sheng had left, Zhou Li stood in ce, sighing deeply. ¡°Little Shen.¡± ¡°I hope your judgment of people is urate.¡± Having said that, he dragged his hunched body and slowly sat back behind the ss counter of the grocery store. Turning on the radio. Beautiful opera music echoed throughout the store. However, in the midst of it, there were asional coughs. Quanjiang City. Martial Arts Association. In the office. ¡°Xingwu Gym¡ ten shares.¡± ¡°Extreme Intention Martial Arts Hall¡ three shares.¡± A middle-aged man wearing ck-rimmed sses was making marks on a document. His name was Gao Sheng, and he was responsible for managing the distribution of spirit medicine in the Martial Arts Association. Every month, he would summarize the list of certified martial arts gyms or sects in Quanjiang City, confirm their current status, and then report the required spirit medicine shares to the Martial Arts Association Headquarters in Jinghai. Finally, after the headquarters¡¯ approval, he would distribute the spirit medicine to the various martial arts gyms in Quanjiang City. However, since Quanjiang City was not a major martial arts province, there were not many strong people. Headquarters¡¯ management of this side was not too strict either. Therefore, there were quite a few loopholes in the distribution of spirit medicine. For example, right now, Gao Sheng was filling out shares for each sect. When he wrote down the Eagle Body Sect, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Eagle Body Sect¡ one share.¡± Since the Tide Rising Period, when spirit medicine appeared, Zhou Li had only received it once and hadn¡¯te for it since. A few months ago, Gao Sheng sessfully learned about Zhou Li¡¯s serious illness and that he was not long for this world. He was overjoyed at the news. The Eagle Body Sect had long existed in name only, and an old man close to death probably wouldn¡¯t care about this bit of spirit medicine. so, in the previous few months, Gao Sheng would receive the spirit medicine meant for the Eagle Body Sect every month. Not just the Eagle Body Sect, it was the same for other small sects with little sense of existence and insignificant voices. Some of these spirit medicines, a portion went to Gao Sheng himself, a portion was sold to other martial arts gyms in urgent need of spirit medicine, and the rest was hidden in his own home to prevent any unexpected situations and stop others¡¯ mouths. At this moment, Gao Sheng was happily calcting how much spirit medicine he would get next month. Knock knock. KNOCKING on the door interrupted his thoughts. ¡°Come in.¡± Gao Sheng put on a serious expression. ¡°Director, there¡¯s someone named Chen Sheng who came to collect spirit medicine.¡± A staff member walked in with a thick stack of documents in his hand. ¡°Chen Sheng?¡± Gao Sheng was slightly puzzled. He knew all the principals of the variousrge and small martial arts halls and sects in Quanjiang City, even the names of their direct disciples. But this name, Chen Sheng, was the first time he had heard it. ¡°Which sect does he belong to?¡± ¡°He said he¡¯s from the Eagle Body Sect.¡± As soon as he heard the three words ¡°Eagle Body Sect¡±, Gao Sheng¡¯s brows furrowed. Could it be that old man Zhou Li found a disciple at thest minute? ¡°He said he wants to collect the spirit medicine for the previous months as well.¡± ¡°This is the paperwork he brought for the change of person in charge.¡± The staff member came forward and put the paperwork Chen Sheng brought on the table. Upon hearing this, Gao Sheng picked up the paperwork and nced at it briefly. A sliver of sharp light shed across his eyes. After a brief moment of contemtion, he spoke again. ¡°You go tell this Chen Sheng¡¡± ¡°The spirit medicine that¡¯s expired cannot be collected.¡± ¡°If he wants it, he can only have this month¡¯s share.¡± No one would believe this excuse. If it were a martial arts sect with a slightlyrger reputation and influence, he wouldn¡¯t dare to use this excuse. ¡°Director. is this a hit¨C The staff member was also hesitant. ¡°It¡¯s okay, just tell him I¡¯m the one who said it. He won¡¯t have any objections.¡± Gao Sheng waved his hand impatiently. He had done this kind of thing more than once. What was the Eagle Body Sect worth? With only two people, one of whom was about to die, it could be said that the sect existed in name only. If the other party wanted to get the spirit medicine, they wouldn¡¯t dare to offend him. Gao Sheng was very confident in his heart. ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing this, the staff member did not dare to say anything more and directly turned around and left.. Chapter 65 - 64: Threat and Good Man Chen Sheng Chapter 65: Chapter 64: Threat and Good Man Chen Sheng Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Mr. Chen, your paperwork is done.¡± ¡°This is your spirit medicine, please keep it safe.¡± In Quanjiang City¡¯s Martial Arts Association Hall. A staff member hands over the spirit medicine and document to Chen Sheng. His gaze is a bit uneasy. After all, he is not a slick old hand like Gao Sheng, nor is he a Qi-sensor. He is just an ordinary person working for the Martial Arts Association. If the person in front of him gets angry¡ Thinking about it, the staff member¡¯s legs start to tremble. Chen Sheng is unaware of the staff member¡¯s thoughts. He epts the document and wooden box containing the spirit medicine. After opening it, a single spirit medicine lies alone in the wooden box. Chen Sheng frowns. This change of expression immediately makes the staff member tense up. ¡°Why is there only one?¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze is fixed on the staff member. Now he stands much taller than before, with well-defined muscr lines appearing under his clothes. The staff member feels an enormous pressure from Chen Sheng. Before setting off, Chen Sheng had asked Zhou Li if it was possible to im expired spirit medicine. Zhou Li¡¯s answer was affirmative. It¡¯s only been half a year since the Tide Rising Period. Many martial arts halls couldn¡¯t find a qualified person to drink the spirit medicine soup in time. Therefore, the Martial Arts Association would umte the unimed share of spirit medicine for martial arts sects until they imed it or the sect disbanded. ¡°Well¡ because¡¡± The staff member stammers as he is about to exin. But at that moment, a figure suddenly appears behind him. ¡°You can¡¯t im expired spirit medicine, is there a problem?¡± It is Gao Sheng. Worried that the staff member might not be able to handle Chen Sheng, Gao Sheng ultimately chose to step forward and exin personally. Gao Sheng waves his hand, the staff member immediately breathes a sigh of relief and quickly leaves. Under Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze, it was too agonizing for him. Just now, for a few seconds, he even felt as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast, and would be torn to death in the next second. ¡°Young man.¡± ¡°Spirit medicine is very scarce, and everyone needs it. If your Eagle Body Sect doesn¡¯t take it, someone else will always need it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about these petty profits in front of you.¡± ¡°We have a long way to go, and there will be many more opportunities for us to cooperate in the future, understand?¡± Gao Sheng smiles and ces his hand on Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder, giving it a squeeze. His eyes, hidden behind ck-rimmed sses, narrow slightly and sh with a threatening light. The meaning is more than clear. Hearing this, Chen Sheng looks around. Maybe it¡¯s because Gao Sheng appeared, but the ce has attracted many people¡¯s attention. If he insists on making a scene now, he might not get a favorable oue. Thinking about this, Chen Sheng takes a deep breath. He closes the wooden box, and gives Gao Sheng a deep look. Then, without turning his head, he walks towards the exit of the Association. He will have the chance to get more spirit medicer. Recently, he has already killed too many people. He fears that if he continues like this, he will be someone who abuses his power because of his strength. To retreat is to find boundless horizons, to endure is to have peace and quiet. I am a good person, I am a good person. Chen Sheng¡¯s heart constantly admonishes itself. Behind Chen Sheng, Gao Sheng watches his departing figure, sneering with disdain on his face. In the afternoon. As Gao Sheng returns home from work and just opens the door, he hears a whistling sound from behind his head. Who is it?! Gao Sheng¡¯s face turns pale as he quickly turns to look. But all he can see is an iron cudgel rapidly erging in front of his eyes. Bang!!! Gao Sheng can¡¯t dodge in time. The iron cudgel hits his head hard. The intense pain makes Gao Sheng unable to help but let out a scream. He holds the back of his head, feeling as if his head is about to crack open. His body staggers and falls into the house. As he lies on the ground, his head feels dizzy, and Gao Sheng looks up to find his face wet. He sees a person in ck clothes and a Monk Tang mask standing at his doorstep. In the attacker¡¯s hand, he holds a bent iron cudgel, from hitting so hard. ¡°Who are you?!¡± ¡°Do you know who I am¡ª¡± To hell with your lies! Seeing Gao Sheng daring to threaten himself, Chen Sheng raised the iron rod in his hand and fiercely stabbed it towards the opponent¡¯s thigh. There was a muffled sound. The iron rod deeply prated into Gao Sheng¡¯s flesh. Gao Sheng wanted to scream again, but Chen Sheng lifted his leg and delivered a straight kick to his head. Bang! The tip of the shoe fiercely hit Gao Shengrs cheek, stopping his screams abruptly. In midair, one could see a few teeth flying out. Casually closing the door and locking it tight. After doing all this, Chen Sheng silently walked up to Gao Sheng, grabbed the sparse hair on his head, and dragged him into the house. Inside the living room. ¡°One more scream, and you¡¯re dead.¡± A deep voice sounded from behind the mask. Immediately after, There was a muffled sound. The iron rod was pulled out, bringing with it a pir of blood. Muffled sound! Chen Sheng struck again, inserting it into the other thigh. The iron rod pierced through Gao Sheng¡¯s flesh and sank into the ground beneath him,pletely immobilizing him. Gao Sheng¡¯s face had already turned pale from the intense pain, and his brain became increasingly dizzy, causing his vision to blur more and more. But he could still sense Chen Sheng¡¯s icy gaze from behind the Monk Tang mask. He had reason to believe that if he made a noise again, He would really die. After doing all this, Chen Sheng ignored Gao Sheng. He quickly went to the bedroom and started rummaging. Soon, he sessfully found a small safe. The smell of spirit medicine came from inside. Picking up the safe, he returned to the living room. ¡°The password.¡± Chen Sheng was concise. ¡°5201314. ¡± Gao Sheng closed his eyes, his body trembling constantly, but still whispered the password. ¡°You¡¯re quite romantic.¡± Chen Sheng sneered and opened the safe. Several stacks of cash and a wooden box came into view. Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Sheng pocketed everything. It wasn¡¯t because he was greedy for money. Definitely_NOT. After doing all this, Chen Sheng yanked out the iron rod. ¡°If you dare to call the police, we¡¯lle for you again.¡± He coldly threw down a sentence and turned around to leave. we? Could it be that this Monk Tang is not a person, but an organization? Did theye to him just for the spirit medicine? Gao Sheng¡¯s mind kept shing with the people he had offended. Including Chen Sheng himself. But ording to Gao Sheng, Chen Sheng¡¯s suspicion was the least usible. There it is: If Chen Sheng had such strength, he would be qualified to get spirit medicine from any martial arts hall, so why align with the Eagle Body Sect at all. Unfortunately, no matter who it was, Gao Sheng dared not call the police. The money lost was nothing, and most of his money was in banks and funds. The key was the spirit medicine. He would not dare to say anything about the loss of the spirit medicine, and he would feel heartache. Once his theft of the spirit medicine was discovered, his losses would be more than just money, and he might even face prison. so, Even if Gao Sheng wished to slice this ¡°Monk Tang¡± into a thousand pieces, Until he was sure of the person¡¯s identity, he could only swallow his broken teeth. At that thought, Gao Sheng¡¯s dizziness intensified. Finally, He could not hold on any longer, his head tilted, and he fainted. Along with a bang, Chen Sheng closed the room door. Inside the house, everything fell silent. Leaving Gao Sheng¡¯s home, Chen Sheng cleared his throat. He had been faking a nasal voice just now, which was unbearable. Chen Sheng left the stairwell and followed a path without surveince cameras to leave. Not until he reached a nearby construction site did he take off his clothes, gloves, shoes, and headgear, and threw them into a trash can to be burned. Opening the wooden box. Inside, six spirit medicinesy quietly. Two more than Chen Sheng was entitled to. With these, he would have more than enough for his short-term needs. Thinking about this, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but feel overjoyed. He pocketed the spirit medicine and cash and left immediately.. Chapter 66 - 65: Upgrade and Breakthrough in Transforming Power Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Upgrade and Breakthrough in Transforming Power Trantor: 549690339 Half an hourter. Inside Yinghui Grocery Store. ¡°Old man, I¡¯m back!¡± Chen Sheng closed the ss door, shouting inside. The opera music suddenly stopped. Zhou Li¡¯s wrinkled old face emerged from behind the ss cab. ¡°Got the spirit medicine?¡± Chen Sheng took out the wooden box and shook it. He walked to the ss cab. ¡°Old man, how to use the spirit medicine?¡± Guo Yang¡¯s threat always hung over Chen Sheng¡¯s head. He was eager to enhance his own strength. As for running away and hiding somewhere else? There¡¯s never been a constant thief, nor a constant guard against one. The best way to deal with a threat is to kill it! That being said, Chen Sheng opened the wooden box and handed it to Zhou Li. Zhou Li took a look inside and immediately eximed. ¡°Howe there are two more nts?¡± With this month, the Eagle Body Sect has missed collecting spirit medicine for five months. Even if the Martial Arts Association is very generous, there should only be five nts at most. But Zhou Li counted and found that there were indeed seven nts lying in the wooden box. He looked at Chen Sheng with some suspicion. But he saw Chen Sheng smile and say, ¡°They thought you were so pitiful half-dead, they forced me to take two more so you could enjoy your old age.¡± ¡°You little -¡± Upon hearing this, Zhou Li immediately rolled up his sleeves , ring as if he wanted to fight Chen Sheng. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s get on with it.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand, and Zhou Li eventually relented. Neither of them mentioned the matter again. Zhou Li picked up the spirit medicine and headed to the kitchen. Chen Sheng followed closely behind. As they walked, Zhou Li exined to Chen Sheng. ¡°Spirit medicine is not necessarily about its efficacy.¡± ¡°One could even say that not all spirit medicine is made from herbs; it is just a kind of nt with strong vitality.¡± As he spoke, Zhou Li used his eyes to signal Chen Sheng to start boiling water. ¡°Qi is beneficial to most living things.¡± ¡°Ordinary life, even without any obvious changes, will thrive in a Qi-rich environment. ¡± ¡°Qi-sensors are those with a high degree ofpatibility with Qi.¡± ¡°They can receive Qi¡¯s nourishment quicker, stimte their body¡¯s potential, and raise their physical limits.¡± Zhou Li picked up a strand of spirit medicine and threw it into the water. The moment the spirit medicine touched the water, a strange radiant light spread out from it. Soon, The whole pot of water was dyed with the radiant light. Time slowly passed. Under Zhou Li¡¯s instruction, Chen Sheng brought a bag of Vitality Soup herbs. When the water boiled, Zhou Li poured all the herbs into the pot. ¡°Spirit medicine can be considered the Qi-sensors of nts. Due to their special structure, many nts have the ability to actively amodate Qi in their bodies.¡± ¡°When spirit medicine is boiled together with ordinary herbs, the Qi inside it is released.¡± ¡°In the end, the resulting soup not only enhances the medicinal effect by several times.¡± ¡°It is also filled with arge amount of Qi, allowing Qi-sensors to experience a short period of transformational growth after drinking it.¡± Listening to Zhou Li¡¯s words, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes slowly lit up. He finally understood why Li Xingwu and his gang were so eager to get spirit medicine. With the ability to enhance the effect of Vitality Soup by multiple times, it could also allow Qi-sensors to experience a short period of transformation. Isn¡¯t this just like an experience bead?! But¡ can he withstand such a powerful medicinal effect? Given his current physical attributes, he could only drink three bowls of Vitality Soup at most in a day. And now it¡¯s afternoon already. Chen Sheng spent the whole day maintaining the Three-Body Technique¡¯s operation at all times. By now, he had almost finished drinking the two bowls of Vitality Soup he had made in the morning. At this moment, Zhou Li nced at him faintly, seemingly sensing Chen Sheng¡¯s thoughts. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you hurry up and practice while the medicine is being prepared?¡± ¡°You¡¯re full of Qi and blood now, so if you drink the spirit medicine soup, you¡¯ll waste some of its effectiveness.¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t worry about whether your body can withstand it. The spirit medicine soup will both replenish Qi and blood and strengthen your body.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng wasted no more time. He immediately turned and jogged out of the kitchen, heading straight for the backyard. Although he hadn¡¯t gone to the gym to train today, the continuous operation of the Three-Body Technique ensured that his attribute growth was as strong as ever. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 4.95] [Agility: 5.12] [Constitution: 5-33] [Skill Points: 4-58] Both agility and constitution attributes have stepped into the five points threshold. The Strength Attribute is just a little bit short. He¡¯s also about to umte enough Skill Points to break through the Five Elements Fist soon. Chen Sheng decides to first try if breaking through all attributes to five points can achieve Transforming Power. With that in mind, he immediately starts practicing the Five Elements Fist while maintaining the breathing of the Three-Body Technique. The practicing speed is much faster than before. Now Chen Sheng has turned the Three-Body Technique into an instinct so that he doesn¡¯t need to spend extra effort to control it, and only needs to focus on the Five Elements Fist. Two hourster. ¡°Huh¡ª¡± Chen Sheng takes a long breath and slowly stops practicing. It¡¯s not because hecks physical strength. In fact, after breaking through all attributes to four points, it has been a long time since he experienced the feeling of insufficient strength. He stops because of his Skill Points. [Skill Points: 5-48] During the two hours of crazy training, the three attributes have increased by 0.3 And there are enough Skill Points to upgrade the Five Elements Fist. Without any hesitation, Chen Sheng focuses his attention directly on the Five Elements Fist. Add points! [Five Elements Fist: Perfection] [Skill Points: 0.6] In an instant, arge amount of information surges into his mind. Countless muscle memories are generated in his body. Chen Sheng closes his eyes and carefully perceives the changes brought by the upgrade. Soon, he starts to perform the Five Elements Fist postures. Chop, smash, drill, cannon, and horizontal. After practicing repeatedly, Chen Sheng increasingly feels that he has gained new insights into the Five Elements Fist. He is no longer confined to the moves. Between each punch and kick is a killing move. His fists cut through the air, creating continuous breaking air sounds. The entire backyard resonates with the hissing noises. Chen Sheng¡¯s skin appears visibly reddened at an elerated rate. Under the elerated flow of qi and blood, plumes of white mist rise. In just a few minutes, The white mist permeates every corner of the backyard, making it look like a fairnd. Bang! Bang! Bang! Atst, Chen Shenges to the iron man pile in the backyard, and his fists keep leaving marks on it. one after another. At first, every punch hends on the surface of the iron man pile can only make tiny shallow pinholes. But as Chen Sheng¡¯s perception of transforming power improves, The hidden power bes denser. And the punched holes keep getting deeper. Bang! Another punchnds on the iron sheet. The entire iron sheet is almost crushed. Not enough¡still far from enough. Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t stop, but continues hitting. The sharp sound of his fists colliding with the iron pieces gets increasingly piercing. His breathing gradually bes heavier. ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± ¡°Exhale¡ªI¡¯ His inhale is like a whale swallowing, and his exhale is like a torrent. A puff of white mistes out of his mouth and lingers. Between each breath, Chen Sheng gradually feels as if every corner of his body is responding to a call. His internal organs, muscles, and fascia all vibrate at a special rhythm. Boom! Boom! Boom! His heart beats like a drum, constantly exploding in Chen Sheng¡¯s ears. It¡¯sing! It¡¯s now! Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes light up. From head to toe, all his internal organs, muscles, and fascia exert force together! Bang! His fist, hits the iron man pile once more. This time, there is neither a fist mark nor a pinhole. There is no change in the area that was hit. Chen Sheng is not disappointed. He retracts his fist. Stretching out his fingers, he gently pushes. A piercing sound of friction suddenly rises. The iron man pile actually breaks in half. Underneath the intact surface, it has long been riddled with holes inside. A faint smile appears on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Transforming Power, has been achieved.. Chapter 67 - 67: 66: Guo Yang and Reaching an Agreement Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Guo Yang and Reaching an Agreement Trantor: 549690339 Transforming Power. The unity of the internal organs, flesh, and tendons, both inside and outside. Upon reaching this step, martial artists gain tremendous force, with enough power in every punch and kick to destroy anything they encounter. Moreover, they can distribute their power throughout their whole body, reaching a state where they are untouchable. Yesterday, Chen Sheng was struck by a punch using Transforming Power from Guo Yang, which directly bent his arm, with the bones inside breaking instantly. Now, Chen Sheng had also reached this realm. However Its not enough. Chen Sheng murmured, looking at his fist. He had just entered the Transforming Power realm, bing a Fourth-Order martial artist. However, Guo Yangs strength and physical attributes were both close to seven points. ording to Chen Shengs estimation, Guo Yangs strength was roughly at the peak of the Third Stage, and he could break into the Second Stage at any moment. The higher the tier, the greater the difference in strength between each level. Based on Chen Shengs current strength, although he had the possibility of defeating Guo Yang, it wasnt enough. What he wanted was a crushing victory, rendering Guo Yang unable to escape. Fortunately, He had stolen Spirit medicine from Gao Sheng today. Once he drank the Spirit medicine, his strength would inevitably grow once again. With that thought, Chen Sheng went to the kitchen to see if the Spirit medicine soup was ready. Quanjiang City, Jincheng District. Wuan Bureau Family Building. After Li Chenghu agreedst time, Li Xingwu and others moved here the next day. At this moment, In Guo Yangs dormitory. All the doors and windows were tightly closed and locked. Guo Yang had his eyes closed, with his limbs on the ground. His shoulders were high, and his waist was pressed against the ground. At this moment, a humming sound like a feline animal emanated from within his body. He looked like a humanoid tiger. On the table next to him, an empty bowl was ced. From the slightly radiant liquid remaining at the bottom of the empty bowl, You could tell that this used to be a bowl of Spirit medicine soup. During these two days spent searching for Chen Shengs whereabouts, Guo Yang had not been idle. As a Transformation Realm Fighter, he had let an An Jin slip through his fingers. For him, it was a great shame. Therefore, He spent the whole day practicing Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, hoping to break through the First Level with the help of Spirit medicine soup. Chen Sheng. You wont escape again. With this thought, Guo Yang slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were narrowed to the size of a needle tip. A faint yellow color surrounded his eyes. The fierceness in his eyes was chilling to the bone. As time went on, An hourter, The humming sound in Guo Yangs body gradually filled the entire dormitory. His limbs muscles gradually swelled up, evenrger than before, with green tendons bursting over the surface. His breathing was heavy, and his forehead was dotted with dense sweat. But Guo Yang had no intention of stopping. Another 10 minutes passed. It seemed like he had reached his limit. Not only his limbs, but even veins on his face were bulging, making him look horrifying. Suddenly, Guo Yang opened his mouth and let out a non-human roar. Roar!!! The sound instantly shattered the peace of the Family Building. Panic-stricken cries emerged from many rooms. Whats happening?! Could some wild beast have made its way here? Hurry up and lock all the doors and windows! People shuddered in their rooms, picking up the phone and calling their rtives working in the Wuan Bureau for help. Meanwhile, Guo Yang wore a look of joy on his face. He had seeded in the first level of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound! Whoosh! With a leap from the ground, Guo Yang examined his swollen muscles. He felt powerful all over, as if he had strength far surpassing before. p! His palm suddenly clenched into a fist. The sound of air being crushed emitted from the center of his palm! Guo Yangs mouth curled into a grin, His sharp teeth glistened with a cold gleam. Thud, thud. Suddenly, a knock on his room door. Huu Apanied by Guo Yangs deep exhtion. The abnormalities on his body gradually disappeared. His yellow pupils faded back to ck. His muscles gradually shrank and returned to their original size. Its here. Guo Yang responded, quickly cing the empty bowl on the kitchen sink. After that, With a click, The door opened. Standing outside was Li Xingwu with his hands behind his back. He scanned Guo Yang up and down. Ayang, was that you just now? He had heard the roar earlier and came to check it out. Master, I broke through. Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, First Level. Guo Yang showed a smile, looking forward to Li Xingwus praise with anticipation. However, What he didnt expect was, Upon learning about his breakthrough, Li Xingwu simply nodded slightly. Not bad. At least theres some progress. Having said that, He was ready to turn around and leave. Guo Yangs face was full of disbelief. Thats it? In order to break through, he took the risk of trading the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound with a shady person like Mr. Hai. But after breaking through, his master only had this kind of reaction? Master Guo Yang hesitated to speak. Seeing Li Xingwu turn his head back to look at him, he mustered the courage to speak again. How is Junior Brother Wu Rans cultivation? Upon hearing this, Li Xingwu frowned. Ive told you countless times, dont alwayspare yourself to your junior brother. You just focus on taking care of yourself and dont make me worry about you. That being said, With a bang, Li Xingwu closed the door directly. The corridor once again fell into silence. Guo Yang stood still. After a while,bender Guo Yang silently returned to his room. He went to the bedroom and looked at the wooden box in the room. Inside, only two spirit medicines remained. To break through to the first level of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, Guo Yang had used two. As for the spirit medicines from Li Xingwus side, he couldnt expect anything. The Martial Arts Conference was approaching, and they had already used all of the spirit medicine resources to cultivate Wu Ran. Its not enough, far from enough. Guo Yang muttered to himself. Only by breaking through again and proving himself at the Martial Arts Conference would his master take him seriously again. Thinking about it, Guo Yang went to the wardrobe and opened the hiddenpartment deep inside. Here, there was a specially made phone that could be used to contact Mr. Hai. Soon, The phone connected. I need more spirit medicine. Guo Yang said solemnly. So what can you give me? Mr. Hails frivolous voice came through from the other side. Hearing that, Guo Yang was silent for a while before speaking again. Its difficult for you to move around here now, I can help you with things. Good! Ive been waiting for you to say that. Mr. Hai on the other side seemed overjoyed,ughing happily. But as for spirit medicine, I dont have any extras here. Having said that, Before Guo Yang could react, he changed the subject. But you dont have to worry. We still have some people in Quanjiang. Ill have him contact youter. And, arent you looking for Chen Shengs whereabouts? He can also help you. Brother Guo, dont let people get away this timeMr. Hais voice gave Guo Yang goosebumps. With a snap, he hung up the phone. He ced the phone back deep in the cab. Guo Yang went to the side of the bed and took out another spirit medicine. Without hesitation, he headed straight to the kitchen.. Chapter 68 - 68: 67: Spirit Medicine and Eagle’s Breath Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Spirit Medicine and Eagles Breath Trantor: 549690339 Port District. Yinghui Grocery Store. Chen Sheng inquired and found out that the Spirit Medicine Soup would take about an hour. Now, his Transforming Power had been achieved. Having nothing better to do, he began practicing Eagles Breath in the backyard, ready to get started with the technique. Afterwards, As long as he had enough Skill Points, he could directly upgrade it. As for how strong the Breathing Technique is, Chen Sheng had been looking forward to it for a long time. When he said it, he did it. He bent his legs slightly and stretched his arms to the limit, like an eagle ready to fly. At the same time, The details of the Eagles Breath started echoing in Chen Shengs mind. Inhale Arge amount of air was poured into his lungs through his mouth. Thump! Thump! Thump! The sound of his heartbeat gradually grew louder, making him feel as if his whole body was vibrating along with it. The flow of blood was also speeding up, causing Chen Sheng to feel a tearing pain all over his body. This reaction was very simr to when he had just broken through Transforming Power, but it was far stronger. This was still due to Chen Shengs unfamiliarity with the Eagles Breath, and his actions were far from standard. His feet slowly moved forward, And his arms swayed slightly in the direction of movement. Chen Shengs forehead started to be covered in sweat, and his body unconsciously began to tremble. Fortunately, With his current physical condition, he wouldnt run out of breath like he did yesterday morning. An hourter. Heh Chen Shengy on the ground, gasping for air. He felt sore all over his body, and his fingers didnt even have the strength to move. He hadnt experienced this feeling in a long time. Summoning his panel, Chen Sheng thought about how much the Breathing Technique had improved him. Next second, Chen Shengs face lit up with joy. Just one hour of training. Strength increased by 0.3 Constitution increased by 0.3 Agility increased by 0.35 Compared to the Three-Body Technique and Five Elements Fist, the training effect of the Breathing Technique was more than double! And this was still when Chen Sheng was not familiar with the movements and breathing. If hebined it with the Spirit Medicine, and got started with the Eagles Breath Just thinking about it, Chen Shengs breath became a little rapid. He shifted his gaze to the Skill Column beneath the panel. But he found that the Eagle-shaped Forging Body Skill had disappeared. In its ce was a new term. [Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique Ivo:12/3000] [Skill Points:1.55] Perhaps because Chen Sheng had just learned both the Body Forging Skill and the Breathing Technique, the two skills had merged into one. 3000 proficiency points. Chen Sheng estimated that after drinking the Spirit Medicine and training for another hour, he would be done. At that time, He would directly upgrade the Breathing Technique. He had a feeling that As long as he upgraded the Breathing Technique and trained with the Spirit Medicine, The one who would be running away would be his opponent. DaLang, its time to drink the medicineAt this moment, Zhou Li walked into the Inner Courtyard with the Spirit Medicine Soup in his hands, yelling in a strange tone. Chen Sheng nced at him indifferently. Do you think youre funny? If Pan Jinlian looked like you, Wu Dng would have killed himself with a baked cake long ago. Zhou Li pursed his lips. Tsk, young people have no sense of humor. He walked up to Chen Sheng and lightly kicked him. DaLang, whats the matter? Are you down already? Chen Sheng irritably pushed his foot away, and finally managed to sit up with difficulty. I just practiced the Breathing Technique. What the hell?! Zhou Lis eyes widened. Are you looking for death?bender You dared to practice Breathing Technique while youre at the An Jin stage, arent you afraid your blood vessels will explode? Upon saying that, Zhou Li quickly put down the soup and squatted down next to Chen Sheng to check on his condition. But what he hadnt noticed, When he heard this, Chen Shengs face showed an ambiguous smile. Old man. I dont recall telling you that Im at the An Jin stage, right? As soon as his words fell, Zhou Lis movements immediately froze. After pausing for a few seconds, he chuckled sheepishly. Uh well. Seeing the old mans appearance, trying toe up with an exnation, Chen Sheng almost rolled his eyes to the sky. Alright, alright, your acting isnt that good. I know youre acquainted with Shen Ziming. But it doesnt matter, we just want what we need from each other. You provide me with the cultivation technique and spirit medicine, Ill help you maintain the Eagle Body Sect. Chen Sheng waved his hand, ignoring the embarrassed Zhou Li, who was rubbing his nose. He picked up the spirit medicine soup on the ground and brought it to his mouth. Gulping down the soup. An empty bowl was ced to the side. After consuming all the spirit medicine soup, Chen Sheng used his hands to support his body and slowly got up from the ground. Zhou Li quickly moved to the side. If I were you. I would take off my clothes. Huh? Chen Sheng looked puzzled. Before he could figure out the meaning of Zhou Lis words. Next second, Blood vessels rushed to the edge of his eyes. Whoosh! In an instant, Chen Shengs skin turned red, like a cooked crab, and white mist rose from the top of his head. The scorching heat exploded from his abdomen and immediately circted throughout his body. Just now, the fatigue caused by practicing the breathing technique was gone. At this moment, Chen Sheng felt like he was about to burst due to the astonishing heat converted by the spirit medicine. Heh He opened his mouth to try to breathe. But due to his dry tongue, he could only make a hoarse sound. Start practicing quickly! At this time, Zhou Lis voice exploded in his ear. Chen Sheng didnt hesitate anymore. He immediately took the stance of the body forging technique, forcing himself to focus, and controlling his breathing and muscle movements simultaneously. In an instant. Every corner of Chen Shengs body was activated. The heat within his body quickly integrated into every part of Chen Sheng, strengthening his organs and flesh. The more he practiced, Chen Sheng felt his movements bing smoother without any obstacles as before. The exhration in his heart made him want to roar to the heavens. Ten minutes. Half an hour. Until an hourter. The energy of the spirit medicine soup still hadnt been fully transformed. However, Chen Sheng checked his panel at this time. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 6.05] [Agility: 6.37] [Constitution: 6.43] [Skills: Eagle-shaped Breathing Techniquelvo: 92/3000] [Skill Points: 3.05] With the help of the spirit medicine soup, the progress in practicing the breathing technique elerated greatly. An hour of practice gave him an additional seventy or eighty skill points. But it wasnt fast enough yet. Chen Sheng continued to move, focusing on the Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique. Upgrade! Skill points quickly decreased. The words Eagle Body Breathing Technique became clearer. [Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique IVI: 0/10000] Boom! Arge amount of information flow and muscr memory suddenly appeared, causing Chen Shengs body to tremble and his movements to almost falter. Everything in his mind became clear in an instant, mastering every detail of the breathing rhythm and muscle movements. From the surface, his movements seemed unchanged. However, his entire momentum changed in an instant. Whoosh! Zhou Li, who was originally sitting leisurely on the stone bench, suddenly stood up. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. But he didnt care, staring at Chen Sheng in shock. How is this possible?! A moment ago, this kids Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique was as crappy as ever. But now, Although not perfect, his practice was very standard, as if he had been practicing for a month. Could it be that this kid has cheated?! Ignoring the shocked Zhou Li, Chen Sheng closed his eyes, still immersed in the changes in his body. The skill proficiency of the Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique was the highest he had ever encountered. And the changes it brought were also unprecedented. At this moment, arge amount of muscle memory was being created. Chen Shengs muscles quickly trembled, as ifpressing countless breathing exercises into his body. The energy of the spirit medicine, which was initially slowly absorbed, started to be transformed rapidly. An endless stream of power filled his entire body. Ripping Chen Shengs clothes and pants were torn open by his swollen muscles. Now he finally understood why Zhou Li had advised him to take off his clothes. As time slowly trickled by. Half an hourter. When the energy of the spirit medicine in his body was finally exhausted. Whoosh! Chen Sheng opened his eyes. His eyes had turned amber.. Chapter 69 - 69: 68: Power and Threat Approaching Chapter 69: Chapter 68: Power and Threat Approaching Trantor: 549690339 Whoo- As Chen Sheng leaped up from the ground, the strangeness on his body disappearedpletely. His shattered T-shirt had already turned into strips of cloth, hanging on his body. Chen Sheng gently tugged at them. The shattered cloth on his upper body was thrown directly to the ground, revealing evenly distributed, Greek sculpture-like perfect muscles. Chen Sheng summoned the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 7.15] [Agility: 7-47] [Constitution: 7-43] Both strength and agility increased by 1.1 Constitution increased by 1 point The panelpressed the cultivation progress of the breathing technique, quickly absorbing all the effects of the spirit medicine. This allowed Chen Shengs attributes to rise by more than one point in just half an hour. But the effects of the breathing technique were far more than that. Martial artists who cultivate breathing techniques are on apletely different level than those who do not. Now, Chen Sheng finally understood. He closed his eyes and stretched out his arms. Inhale He inhaled like a whale swallowing. Arge amount of air was poured into Chen Shengs lungs. Exhale He exhaled like a mountain torrent. Scorching hot air was expelled from his body. His heart was beating violently. Blood and qi were rapidly washing every corner of his body. At the same time, Chen Shengs body underwent a sudden change. His skin began to turn slightly red. The crackling sound continued toe from inside his body. Chen Shengs figure began to grow taller. From the original one point eight meters, he shot up to one point nine meters. Between each inhale and exhale, his muscles swelled even more, making his figure look extremely intimidating. His eyes also changed from the original distinct ck and white to amber color. In just a few breaths, Chen Shengs appearance underwent a significant change. Just standing in front of him, one could feel an overwhelming fiercenessing at them. Zhou Li, who was not far away, felt like countless thin needles were constantly stabbing his skin, causing goosebumps to rise. He looked at the panel again. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 9-3] [Agility: 9-7] [Constitution: 9.6] This was the effect of the breathing technique. When Chen Sheng operated the Eagle Body Breathing Technique, his attributes would increase by one-third overall. This would be enough for Chen Sheng to overpower and kill enemies that would have been originally several tiers above him with ease. Such a terrifying improvement was simply astonishing. And different breathing techniques have different directions of improvement. For example, the Eagles Breath Chen Sheng walked slowly to the Iron Man Pile, his face expressionless as he looked at the broken gap. A few hours ago, he needed to use all his strength to unleash Transforming Power in order to break the Iron Man Pile. But now Chen Sheng stretched out his palm and leisurely reached for the Iron Man Pile. His fingers became longer and thicker, and the sharp nails shed with a metallic luster. Without any resistance, a part of the Iron Man Pile was directly dug out. Then,bender Chen Sheng gently squeezed. The iron piece in his palm instantly crumbled like tofu. tter! Broken stones scattered on the ground. Chen Sheng, do you want to practice our Eagle Body Sects Eagle w Hand? At this moment, Zhou Li, who was not far away, finally recovered from shock. But his address for Chen Sheng had also changed from the original Boy to his current name. Shen Ziming, what kind of monster have you introduced me to Zhou Li muttered in his heart. He watched as Chen Sheng went from the initial practice of the breathing technique to breaking through the first level in just half an hour. Zhou Li felt that his understanding of the breathing technique had beenpletely shattered. He became more and more convinced that Chen Sheng was not as simple as he appeared. Even when he looked at Chen Sheng, his eyes unconsciously added a touch of caution. Each breathing technique has a different direction for enhancing the body. The Eagles Breath and our Eagle Body Sects Eagle w Hand have the highestpatibility. But no matter what. Now Chen Sheng is already the acting leader of the Eagle Body Sect, and he is tied to the same string as himself. Even if Zhou Li had doubts, he could only grit his teeth and continue down this path. At this moment, Listening to Zhou Lis opinion, Chen Sheng slowly exited the breathing technique state. He turned his head to look at the other party, grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Alright, old man. After a night of training. Deep inside Chen Shengs body, signals of exhaustion kepting out. This kind of fatigue is not something that can be reduced by physical recovery. so, Learning somebat techniques to rx would not be a bad idea. Night. The moonlight hung high. Gao Sheng, from the Martial Arts Association, tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Since the robbery in the morning, he felt as if he had a psychological shadow. When he closed his eyes, the figure of the man wearing the Monk Tang mask appeared in his mind, and he could not shake it off. Damn, dont let me know who you are.. Gao Sheng gritted his teeth. But halfway through, His voice gradually weakened. Yes. Even if he knew who the other party was, what could he do about it? What he had done originally couldnt be exposed. If he really called the police, or reported it to the Martial Arts Association, Its still debatable whether he could catch the other party, but he would definitely be in trouble. Gao Sheng sighed deeply. As he couldnt sleep anyway, he opened his eyes, preparing to check the doors and windows once again. However, When he looked at the bedside, A familiar figure appeared in his vision, almost stopping his heart. A dog-faced mask, dressed in ck. The attire was very simr to that of the Monk Tang! You wantMmm! Just as Gao Sheng was about to speak, his mouth was tightly grabbed by a big hand. Make a sound, and die. Damn! The threat was almost the same; they must be in the same gang! When would these people ever stop, where do they ever see a sheep they dont want to shear! Tell me, where do you hide those spirit medicines you steal? After ten minutes. The dog-faced man wiped the blood from his hands and left Gao Shengs house. He casually closed the door and walked downstairs. At the same time, he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. Mister, I couldnt get the spirit medicine. Hmm? Somebody robbed us this afternoon. The dog-faced man told everything Gao Sheng had said. Chen Shengs name appeared in there. Interesting. Mr. Hai found that Chen Sheng seemed to be involved in everything recently. We cant not find the spirit medicine. I still need that kid Guo Yang to help me. Have you found Chen Shengs whereabouts? Mr. Hai asked. Already found, hes in an alley in the Port District, this kid seems to have be the leader of a small sect. Go and get the spirit medicine back. Only when the spirit medicine is in our hands will Guo Yang listen to us obediently. As for Chen Sheng, no need to kill him, nor have direct conflict, just have someone keep an eye on him. No problem, right? No problem. The dog-faced man bowed his head in agreement and then hung up the phone. ording to Gao Shengs confession and the information he had obtained, Even if Chen Sheng was strong, he wouldnt surpass the peak of An Jin. He was a Transformation Realm Third Stage Martial Artist. Such a small character was not worth mentioning. The only problem was that he couldnt kill or startle the other party. But it wasnt a big deal either. With that in mind, The dog-faced man dialed another number. Come over to my side, and by the way, bring.. After hanging up the phone, The dog-faced man left the corridor directly.. Chapter 70 - 70: 69: Attack and Elimination of Threat Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Attack and Elimination of Threat Trantor: 549690339 Port District. Yinghui Grocery Store. Learning the Eagle w Hand did not take much time for Chen Sheng. [Ancient Eagle w Hand LVI: 0/500] This is just a fighting method that maximizes the body enhancement brought by the Eagles Breath. After using 0.1 skill points to upgrade Eagle w Hand, Zhou Li was once again deeply defeated by Chen Shengs extraordinary talent. They practiced for a while. Feeling a lingering sense of fatigue in his body, Chen Sheng decided to return to his room to rest with Zhou Li. Soon, Aside from the asional coughing from Zhou Lis room, the entire backyard was silent. Not long after lying in bed, Chen Sheng fell asleep deeply. Late at night. Everything was quiet. Outside the grocery store, a figure appeared silently. Its the dog-faced man. He stood quietly in the shadows, making not the slightest sound. Even if someone walked by, they probably wouldnt notice him without observing carefully. Before long, Apanied by a slight noise, Another figure appeared. This is a faceless man wearing a nk mask. In the mysterious organization, it appears they use animal masks to distinguish the strength of their members. A nk mask represents the Light Energy. A pig face mask represents Hidden Energy. And a dog face mask represents the Transforming Power. Now, the two are working together just to steal spirit medicine from a Hidden Energy Warrior. The newly arrived faceless man felt that it was a case of overkill. After all, with yesterdays event, the alert level of the Jincheng District has been raised a lot. The entire city is filled with patrolling and investigating officers from the Wuan Bureau. The two of them revealing their presence is risky, to say the least. Just the two of us, just to steal spirit medicine? The faceless man immediately made a sequence of hand gestures expressing the doubts in his heart. Just in case. The dog-faced man responded likewise in hand gestures. Although Chen Shengs strength is not worth mentioning, The key to the mission is not to alert him. Plus, Mr. Hai repeatedly reminded them not to make mistakes, which is why the dog-faced man brought apanion. Strong anesthetic drugs are not easy to obtain, and presently only the faceless man in front of him has them in the Jincheng District. Having said that, Without further dy, The dog-faced man lightly waved his hand and leapt straight to the roof of the grocery store. The faceless man followed closely. Both of them were martial artists; their feetnding on the roof tiles did not make a single sound. Upon reaching the backyard, The dog-faced man stopped in front of two rooms, discerning which one was Chen Shengs room quickly. During this time, The faceless man continually stared at the Iron Man Pile in the courtyard. This Iron Man Pile Its broken and a piece of it has been dug out. What exactly did the people from the Eagle Body Sect do to it? Before the faceless man could make sense of the situation, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the dog-faced man was signalling him. With the dog-faced mans status and strength both higher than his, the faceless man couldnt afford to dy responding, so he immediately came forward. The dog-faced man held out his hand. The faceless man promptly took out two white cards and handed them over. These white cards are coated with a special anesthetic substance. As soon as the thin film on the surface is peeled off, the anesthetic substance begins to evaporate. One card is enough to render a Transformation Realm Fighter unconscious within a minute. To deal with Chen Sheng, whose information showed only Hidden Energy, this was more than enough. With this thought in mind, The dog-faced man peeled off the film and slipped the cards into the two rooms through the door cracks. The two quietly waited. After half a minute, The coughing sound from Zhou Lis room no longer urred. On Chen Shengs side, there was no movement from beginning to end. After waiting for a full five minutes, The two exchanged nces and nodded to each other. Only then did the dog-faced man open the room door and walk in. Since Chen Sheng did not have the habit of sleeping with the lights on, it was pitch dark inside the room. Fortunately, As a martial artist, the dog-faced man has exceptional eyesight, so he doesnt need light to see clearly. Upon entering the room, the dog-faced man gestured. Stand guard outside, if anyone approaches As his signnguage reached its end, the dog-faced mans finger lightly scraped across his neck. The faceless man understood. He slowly retreated and eventually positioned himself on the outskirts of the grocery store, keeping a keen eye on the surroundings. Inside the room, The dog-faced man first checked Chen Shengs condition by the bedside. On the bed, Chen Sheng was lying on his back, his hands folded on his chest, sleeping very peacefully, as if he was in a deepa. With just one nce, the dog-faced man ignored him. The object of their mission was anesthetized, indicating luck is on his side. If he hadnt been anesthetized, the dog-faced man would have to resort to killing him tonight and furthermore, he would have difficulty exining it to Mr. Hai. Thinking about this, The dog-faced man took a deeper look at Chen Sheng and then began rummaging through the room. However, He searched under the bed, inside the wooden cabs, every corner of the room, but he didnt find it. Damn it, Where exactly did this kid hide the spirit medicine? Could it be that its not in this room? The dog-faced man thought about it and was preparing to stand up and search Zhou Lis room. But just then.bender Are you looking for this? Chen Shengs somewhat yful voice was heard. At the sound of the voice, the dog-faced man froze and stopped moving. He turned his head to look at the bed. Chen Sheng had somehow sat up and was looking at him curiously. In his hands was an opened wooden box. Inside, six Spirit Medicinesy quietly. You shouldnt have woken up. Facing an opponent far weaker than himself, the dog-faced man remained unfazed. He slowly rose, walking up to Chen Sheng and spoke with a tinge of pity. If you had remained unconscious, I wouldnt have killed you. But now .. Indeed, as the dog-faced man had said. His goal wasnt to kill Chen Sheng; it was for the Spirit Medicine Chen held. But now that Chen Sheng was awake, he could not let him live. The thought of not aplishing Mr. Hails mission perfectly gave him a headache. His gaze towards Chen Sheng inevitably carried a hint of ruthlessness. Hand over the Spirit Medicine. He reached out to Chen Sheng. Ill make your death quick. During this dialogue, The dog-faced mans momentum gradually rose, exerting an enormous pressure. Facing the dog-faced mans threat, Chen Sheng appeared distressed, as if he was making a choice. Impatience flickered in the dog-faced mans eyes. Forget it, just die. Having said that, he reached out to snatch the medicine, But at that moment, Chen Sheng, as if scared, hurriedly ced the wooden box in his hand. You can have it. But, I want to make a bet with you. What bet? The dog-faced man raised his eyebrows slightly. He had long since decided to kill Chen Sheng. Now, he just wanted to see what tricks this kid in front of him still had to y. Lets bet Whether you have the luck to take away the Spirit Medicine. Chen Shengs words carried a yful tone. Just as the words fell. The dog-faced man was about to scoff. But he saw Chen Sheng slowly rise from the bed, standing opposite him. A pair of emotionless eyes stared at him. Unexinably, the dog-faced man felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he was gazed upon by an extremely dangerous beast. How is this possible?! This boy should belong to the Hidden Energy level, why does he pose this strong threat to me? Before he could figure it out, Inhale A sharp intake of breath broke the silence of the night. Crackcrack! The sound echoed from within Chen Shengs body. The next second, A massive shadow, darker than the night, enveloped him from above. The dog-faced man suddenly froze in his tracks. The contempt in his eyes was quickly reced with horror. He slowly looked up, Since his movements were so stiff, his neck produced the same cracking sound. You Before he could finish, His vision waspletely engulfed by darkness. Whoosh! The faceless man abruptly turned towards the direction of the backyard. Did he just hear something? No idents happened, did it? Even though he knew the probability of an ident happening was extremely small, But deep down, he couldnt shake off that uneasy feeling. Just as the faceless man was hesitating whether to go back to the backyard to check, Swoosh The ss door was flung open. Hmm? Theres another one? Chen Sheng, who was carrying a ck stic bag, came face to face with the faceless man. You The faceless man pointed at Chen Sheng, his face filled with surprise. Isnt this the target? Wasnt he supposedly unconscious? Why is he awake? Whats inside that bag? In an instant, Numerous questions shed through the faceless mans mind. But when the metallic scent from within the stic bag hit his nostrils, A possibility exploded in his mind. His surprise rapidly turned to horror. The countless thoughts in the faceless mans mind copsed into one. Run! Without any hesitation, The faceless man turned and ran, using every ounce of his strength. But the next second, He heard a whooshing sounding from behind his head. A splitting sound echoed. The faceless man barely covered two or three meters before his body came to a sudden halt. He slowly looked down to find, An arm-like cast-iron protruding from his chest. The arms five fingers were long and bulky. In its palm, a still-beating heart was clenched. Is this. Before the question could rise, The light in the eyes of the faceless man rapidly died out. Thump! His body hit the ground as the arm withdrew. Chen Sheng, with a disgusted face, casually tossed the heart into the ck stic bag. Picking up the lifeless body of the faceless man, he tried to stuff it into the bag. But the bag was only big enough and could hardly fit two men. Chen Sheng couldnt help but frown and click his tongue. What a hassle.. Chapter 71 - 70: On Martial Arts and the Right and Wrong of Disputes Chapter 71: Chapter 70: On Martial Arts and the Right and Wrong of Disputes Trantor: 549690339 The next day. The first rays of the rising sun, shedding a faint light. ¡°Cough¡ªcough cough!¡± Zhou Li, still not fully awake,y in bed coughing violently. As if he was about to cough up his lungs. Gasping for breath in bed for quite a while, he finally felt his condition slightly recovered. After getting out of bed and wrapping himself in thick cotton clothes, Zhou Li shakily walked outside. When he arrived in the backyard, he happened to bump into Chen Sheng, who was carrying a stic bag. ¡°You¡¯re finally awake, old man.¡± Chen Sheng had a warm smile on his face, as if he was in a very good mood. Zhou Li didn¡¯t respond, still holding his head all the time. For some reason, he felt dizzy after sleeping, and even now, his head was still foggy. At this moment, Zhou Li scanned his surroundings, a trace of doubt shing in his eyes. His nose kept sniffing the air. ¡°What¡¯s that smell?¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng raised the stic bag in his hand. ¡°This smell.¡± Arriving at the stone table, the stic bag was opened by him. A mist rose. In it were more than a dozen steaming big meat buns¡as well as shumai and tea eggs. ¡°No, that¡¯s not it.¡± Zhou Li shook his head, still frowning. He craned his neck, searching around, his nose twitching from time to time, like a white-haired rat. ¡°It¡¯s the smell of blood!!¡± After sniffing for a while, Zhou Li suddenly looked up at Chen Sheng. ¡°What did you dost night?¡± ¡°Were you up to something in my courtyard?!¡± The smile on Chen Sheng¡¯s face gradually faded. He nonchntly reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and swiped the screen. Meanwhile, he walked slowly up to Zhou Li and looked down at him from above. Zhou Li was not scared at all and stared back at Chen Sheng, whose eyes were full of pressure. Then, Chen Sheng showed Zhou Li his phone. The phone¡¯s camera was open, and it was switched to selfie mode. ¡°Silly old man, I didn¡¯t even bother to point it out.¡± ¡°Did you cough out your brain? As Chen Sheng spoke, Zhou Li¡¯s face was also reflected on the phone screen. He saw that the lower half of his face was almost covered with ck blood clots. Presumably, this was the origin of the smell of blood¡ ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Zhou Li immediately coughed again, pretending to hide his embarrassment. Chen Sheng rolled his eyes at him. He was originally quite respectful of the elderly, but for some reason, he always felt the urge to fight back against Zhou Li. ¡°Quickly go wash your face and eat.¡± Under Chen Sheng¡¯s annoyed urging, Zhou Li jogged to the nearby sink to wash his hands. However, halfway through washing, Zhou Li¡¯s gaze fixed. He suddenly noticed that there were drops of blood on the edge of the sink. He rubbed it with his fingers, and the bloodstains were quickly removed. He sniffed his fingers near his nose. There was a scent. Apparently, it hadn¡¯t been there for long. Zhou Li didn¡¯t say anything more. He silently washed his face and sat down at the stone table to eat breakfast. Halfway through, ¡°Kid, how does it feel to be a Qi-sensor?¡± Zhou Li asked as if it was nothing. ¡°It feels great.¡± Chen Sheng was fully focused on his breakfast and didn¡¯t even look up as he spoke. ¡°Actually, when the Tide Rising Period began, I also really wanted to be a Qi-sensor.¡± Zhou Li sighed, speaking with emotion. ¡°Don¡¯t judge me by my appearance; I¡¯m actually quite afraid of dying.¡± ¡°I want to be alive to see how the world changes due to the emergence of Qi-sensors and Heavenly People. I want to be part of the change.¡± ¡°I also want to live to see the Eagle Body Sect grow stronger.¡± As he said this, Zhou Li put down the bun in his hand and rubbed his nose. The air had been drytely, and his nostrils always felt a burning pain. Every time he breathed, he felt as if his lungs were like a broken bellows, making a wheezing sound. ¡°But I¡¯ve seen too many Qi-sensors lose themselves because they possess power.¡± ¡°Having power, you can easily kill those you dislike; you can make others fear, dread, and tremble.¡± ¡°With power, you can easily obtain everything that you once dreamed of as an ordinary person.¡± ¡°This is the road many powerful people have taken.¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯s right?¡± Zhou Li stared at Chen Sheng intently. His life experience might not be rich, but it¡¯s not measly either. During the short time he had spent with Chen Sheng, he had realized that the young man in front of him was at a crossroads in his life. One path led to seizing everything with power, acting recklessly, andwlessly. The other path was to not abuse power, only using it to protect oneself and the people around them. These two paths were very simr. But a single misstep could make it difficult to turn back. Others might not know, but Zhou Li was very clear that those who took the first path almost never ended well. After all, there were too many strong masters in the world, and there were always people better than you, and heaven beyond heaven. Ruling with power, one day you¡¯ll be crushed by a stronger force. That¡¯s why he wanted to persuade Chen Sheng, urging him not to be blinded by power. ¡°I only kill those who deserve to die.¡± ¡°Who sets the boundaries?¡± Question and answer. It was the same as the day when Chen Sheng became Light Energy and talked with Shen Ziming. Only this time, Chen Sheng was the one being questioned. At this point, Zhou Li sighed deeply again and said nothing. Chen Sheng also remained silent. The two of them quietly ate their breakfast. After finishing, As Chen Sheng was cleaning up the stic bag, he suddenly thought of something. ¡°Old man, how can I get arge amount of spirit medicine?¡± Spirit medicine can greatly elerate the speed of one¡¯s growth in strength. But there are only six in stock now, which can hardlyst for several days. No matter what the future holds. Chen Sheng at the moment just wants to improve his strength as quickly as possible. The awkward silence between the two just now seemed to have disappeared. Hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s question, Zhou Li thought about it and replied. ¡°Two ways.¡± ¡°Go on.¡± ¡°The first is to buy a lot of flowers and seeds and nt them. With good luck, some of them may be spirit medicine.¡± ¡°Tell me the second way.¡± The first method was nonsense. If spirit medicine were so easy toe by, a lot of people wouldn¡¯t be struggling to find it. ¡°The second method is to use spirit seeds.¡± ¡°Spirit seeds, as in the seeds of spirit medicine?¡± Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Li with some confusion. But Zhou Li shook his head. ¡°It could be, but not necessarily.¡± ¡°Spirit seeds refer to certain life forms or objects with extremely high Qi content.¡± ¡°These things will constantly diffuse Qi to their surroundings, increasing the Qi concentration within a small range.¡± ¡°If you cultivate a piece otnd and ce spirit seeds, then the flowers and nts grown on thatnd will have a very high probability of bing spirit medicine.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°So does that mean if I kill a person with a high in-body Qi concentration, their corpse will be a spirit seed?¡± ¡°Then I can bury them in the ground, and then¡ª¡± ¡°Stop, stop, stop!¡± Before Chen Sheng could finish, Zhou Li immediately raised his hand to interrupt. He stared at Chen Sheng with a strange expression. ¡°Your thinking is very wrong.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with what he said and asked with a puzzled look. Zhou Li opened his mouth to argue. But when the words reached his mouth, they wouldn¡¯te out. Actually¡ it seems¡ there isn¡¯t anything wrong with it. ¡°Forget it, forget it, I won¡¯t talk to you.¡± After holding his breath for a while, Zhou Li, who didn¡¯t know what to argue, waved his hand in frustration. ¡°You go do whatever you want, leave me alone.¡± With that, He returned to his room with his hands behind his back. Boom! The wooden door was closed heavily. But Chen Sheng immediately went after him. ¡°Hey, old man, you haven¡¯t told me what other ways I can get spirit seeds besides the method I mentioned?¡± Under Chen Sheng¡¯s persistent knocking, The wooden door opened again with a tter. Zhou Li red at him with irritation. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°You participate in the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Conference, and as long as youe out on top, you can get a spirit seed.¡± With that said, There was another bang, and the wooden door was closed again. ¡°Martial Arts Conference?¡± Chen Sheng muttered. This was the first time he¡¯d heard of it. He wanted to knock on the door again and ask what the Martial Arts Conference was all about. But this time, Zhou Li wouldn¡¯t open the door. Helplessly, Chen Sheng had to leave. He nned to start his training for the day and asked Zhou Li about itter. At this time, Inside the room. Seeing Chen Sheng finally give up, Zhou Li finally let out a sigh of relief. But then, He looked somewhat annoyed and knocked on his head. ¡°Really fucking can¡¯t keep my mouth shut.¡± He was already somewhat regretful for telling Chen Sheng about the Martial Arts Conference. The Martial Arts Conference was not just child¡¯s y. Quanjiang City falls under Fuhai Province. The Martial Arts Conference is attended by martial arts sects from the entire Fuhai Province,peting for rankings through martial arts. Although it is said to be point-based. But to win, one must go all out, so there is no such thing as a point-basedpetition. Therefore, Every Martial Arts Conference has arge number of casualties. Furthermore, the scope of the Martial Arts Conference is the entire Fuhai Province, with countless masters in it. The martial arts halls in Quanjiang City haven¡¯t even made the ranking in the past ten years or so. From this, it can be seen how many powerful people and masters there are. Disciples below Transforming Power in various martial arts halls don¡¯t even have the qualifications to participate. Chen Sheng¡¯s strength, perhaps, has a say in Quanjiang City. But when ites to the entire Fuhai Province, it¡¯s far from enough.. Chapter 72 - 71: Mindset and Guo Yang’s Visit Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Mindset and Guo Yang¡¯s Visit Trantor: 549690339 High noon. The sun red overhead. The backyard of Yinghui Grocery Store. Swoosh! Swoosh! Muscr arms repeatedly sliced through the air, resounding with the noise of breaking air constantly. Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze was focused, his breathing lengthy, constantly practicing the Three Bodies Five Elements technique. There were no errands for him to run today. Starting from breakfast, he had been training in the backyard the entire time. At this moment, Zhou Li¡¯s words from the morning kept echoing in his ears. The people he had killed, From the startup Pig-faced Man, to the Faceless Man, the two brothers of the Wang family, Li Qian, and the two fromst night. The faces of these people surfaced before him one after the other. Their expressions were fierce and resentful, continuously questioning Chen Sheng why he had to kill them. ¡°Chen Sheng, despite taking my uncle as your master, you killed me. I want to see how you¡¯ll face my uncle!¡± ¡°You might have killed me with your strength today, but there will be stronger people who will kill you tomorrow!¡± ¡°You killed me, the organization will take revenge for me. You won¡¯t die a good death!¡± These questions seemed almost tangible, disturbing Chen Sheng¡¯s peace. ¡°Get lost! ¡± He suddenly bellowed out. His fists thundered out like cannonballs, trying to smash the resentful faces in front of him. Indeed, Among the people he killed, some had to die, while some didn¡¯t need to. Most things in the world also had better, more perfect solutions. But so what? Isn¡¯t killing them outright the simplest and most straightforward method? Why would he abandon his own strength and choose the so-called ¡°kind¡±, ¡°gentle¡± way which was more troublesome? To let those people consider how to harm him? Or was it, Waiting for others to solve his problems? Waiting for things to develop in a good direction? Waiting for good luck to favor him and turn evil into good? No. That was not what he wanted. What he wanted was, To control his own destiny with his own strength! With this thought, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze became more determined. He threw a punch. Swoosh! The force flowed without hindrance. The Pig-faced Man, the Faceless Man, Li Qian¡.. These faces were shattered one after the other by Chen Sheng¡¯s punches. The original knot of negative energy whirling in his heart was also shattered by this punch. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! His thoughts were firm, and his mind was clear. Chen Sheng¡¯s punches became faster and faster, leaving a trail of shadows in front of him. The sound of breaking air became continuous. But he didn¡¯t feel the slightest fatigue, instead, the more he punched, the more excited he became. He even had a faint feeling that every minute and second, he was getting stronger. One hour. Two hours. Time slowly slipped away as Chen Sheng was continuously training and growing stronger. Immediately after he finished drinking the Vitality Soup during his training, he gulped down the Spirit Medicine Soup and started practicing Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique without rest. Until the sun set and the moon rose. Chen Sheng, somewhat short of breath, finally stopped his movements. He sat near the stone table in the backyard, assessing the results of his training that day. A full day of training brought about considerable improvement. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 9.05] [Agility: 9-47] Iconsutuuon: 9.23 J [Skill Points: 8.54] Strength increased by 1.8 Agility increased by 2. Constitution increased by 1.7 This huge improvement was almost equivalent to the past two or three days. This includes the time he spent and the benefits from the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. Of course, The main factor is still the Spirit Medicine Soup. Without the energy from the Spirit Medicine Soup, even if Chen Sheng trained until bedtime, he might not have had such arge improvement. What a pity. The effects of the Spirit Medicine are too potent, it evaporates too quickly, even if Chen Sheng trained relentlessly, he was unable to absorb all of it and part of it was lost. Upon reflection, Chen Sheng thought it was because his training results weren¡¯t big enough. Yesterday, the reason why Chen Sheng was able to increase all his attributes by more than two points in one day, Was because he upgraded the Eagle Body Breathing Technique, which in a short time reduced the duration of practicing the breathing technique, allowing him to absorb the effects of the Spirit Medicine in a shorter time. But today, without being able to upgrade the Breathing Technique again, he could only watch the effects slip away. Even with 130kg weight, for him now, it was barely enough. Although with higher attributes, The speed at which he was getting stronger would also get faster and faster. But Chen Sheng still felt that it wasn¡¯t enough. Thinking about what Shen Ziming had said earlier, about how Heavenly Persons might appear in the near future, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. A creature that was extremely terrifying, harbored malice towards humans, and was immortal. If everything Shen Ziming said was true, The appearance of this species would inevitably cause a huge impact on the current world. What Chen Sheng wanted was to improve himself as quickly as possible before the world changed drastically, so as to cope with potential crises that mighte. But now, theck of Spirit Medicine and intensity of training greatly slowed his pace. As for the issue of spirit medicine, Chen Sheng nned to find time to consult with Zhou Li. As for the intensity of his training, that was a problem he had to solve himself. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng sighed helplessly. Once his stamina was basically regained, he got up and walked towards Zhou Li¡¯s room. Thump, thump. The room door was knocked. ¡°Old man, are you eating or not, I¡¯m starving to death.¡± Chen Sheng, who hadn¡¯t eaten lunch after finishing his training, was continually getting hunger signals from his stomach. After he knocked on the door. The sound of someone getting up from the bed and several harsh coughs came trom inside the room. About half a minuteter, the room door was slowly opened. Zhou Li had been in his room all day, except for breakfast and lunch. At this moment, his face was deathly pale. As the weather gradually turned cold, his body also became worse and worse. ¡°What¡¯s for supper?¡± Despite this, Zhou Li looked excited at the thought of eating. ¡°I suddenly feel like eating meat.¡± ¡°Then you give me the phone number for ordering food, shall I order delivery?¡± ¡°Alright, alright, the phone number is 153¡¡± ¡°Oh yes, I want to eat red braised pork¡ª Just when Zhou Li was about to tell him what he wanted to eat. He saw Chen Sheng suddenly change his expression as if he had noticed something. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s eatter.¡± He interrupted Zhou Li¡¯s order. Bang! He even directly shut the wooden door, nearly hitting Zhou Li¡¯s nose. This made the old man angry. ¡°You damn little whipper-snapper, are you ying me?! ¡® ¡°If you don¡¯t order, I will!¡± ¡°Open the door for me!¡± Zhou Li tried to push the door open, but it wouldn¡¯t budge. At the same time, Chen Sheng¡¯s serious voice came from outside. ¡°Old man, lock the door and find a ce to hide.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t call you, don¡¯te out.¡± Hearing this, Zhou Li¡¯s face changed and he immediately understood what Chen Sheng meant. He was silent for two seconds. ¡°Be careful.¡± During this conversation, Zhou Li¡¯s voice was somewhat low. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be over soon.¡± Only after the light was turned off and the room quieted down. Did Chen Sheng leave the door and sit by the stone table in the backyard. His eyes were downcast, as if waiting for someone. Sure enough. About a few minutester, a tall, thin figure slowly lifted the curtain and walked into the backyard. Once he entered the backyard. His gazended on Chen Sheng, a gentle smile spreading across his face. ¡°Long time no see, junior brother Chen.¡± The visitor was none other than Guo Yang. Facing this man, who once made him feel helpless and outmatched. Chen Sheng¡¯s heart was no longer as tense as it was before. ¡°Not disguising yourself this time?¡± He said without lifting his head. At his words, A sh of surprise passed through Guo Yang¡¯s eyes. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you knew it was mest time?¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t reply. He lifted his head, staring coldly at Guo Yang. ¡°Can I ask why Senior Brother Guo must insist on making me fight for my life?¡± A slight smile formed on Guo Yang¡¯s lips. ¡°You¡¯ll find out.¡± ¡°But not now.¡± After saying this, He slowly walks towards Chen Sheng. ¡°Are you so sure you can handle me?¡± Chen Sheng also slowly got up to meet Guo Yang, who was leisurely strolling forward. Chen Sheng¡¯s face was expressionless. Guo Yang wore a faint smile. But when their eyes met. In both of their eyes, there was a tant animosity. ¡°I, of course, know that Junior Brother Chen¡¯s ability is not bad, after all, you have just killed a Transformed Force yesterday.¡± ¡°Who knows how much stronger you are today.¡± ¡°I dared toe here because I have my own confidence.¡± Obviously, Guo Yang had already learned about the death of the dog-faced man. It seemed to confirm his words. Behind Chen Sheng, shadows shuffled. Two people wearing dog-faced masks leaped into the courtyard. Their chilling eyes were all focused on Chen Sheng. Even if Guo Yang thought he could handle Chen Sheng on his own. But the presence of two Transformed Force dog-faced men could make things a bit simpler. ¡°Junior Brother Chen.¡± Guo Yang¡¯s face was full of mirth. ¡°Do you give up willingly?¡± ¡°Or do I have to beat you to a pulp and then take you away?¡± Chapter 73 - 72: Double Kill and Conflict Eruption Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Double Kill and Conflict Eruption Trantor: 549690339 [Guo Yang] [Strength: 8.13] [Agility: 5-43] [Constitution: 7-93] [Skills: Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound IVI] In just two days, Guo Yang¡¯s attributes had also increased greatly. Chen Sheng also noticed that the level of the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound in Guo Yang had changed from level o to level 1. It means that Guo Yang, like Chen Sheng, has now mastered the Breathing Technique. It means that if the opponent enters the Breathing Method state, his Strength and Constitution will both break through the ten points barrier. If it was just him alone, it would be fine. But now there were two more Transforming Power users¡ Chen Sheng looked at the two Dog faced men who were slowly approaching him on both sides. Dealing with corpses would be quite troublesome. He couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. Chen Sheng¡¯s voice stood out in the originally quiet environment. ¡°It seems this is your answer?¡± Guo Yang narrowed his eyes. Next second, Without waiting for Chen Sheng¡¯s response. Boom! Two explosions rang out on both sides. The two Dog faced men stomped their feet, their bodies violently leapt forward, rushing towards Chen Sheng with fierce momentum. Deep footprints were left on the ground where they originally stood. One of them threw a fist, while the other threw a palm. Roaring sounds filled their ears. However, Before Chen Sheng could make a move. Whoosh- An even sharper roaring sound instantly covered the noises raised by the two Dog faced men. ¡°This p is for my junior sister,¡± Guo Yang said, taking a shallow breath. A yellow circle faintly appeared around the edges of his pupils. The fan-shaped p stirred the breaking air sound, and it was fiercely pped towards Chen Sheng¡¯s cheek. The sharp nails at the end of his fingers were incredibly sharp, reflecting a chilling light under the moonlight that made one¡¯s heart tremble. If thisnded, half of Chen Sheng¡¯s face would probably be dug out. Facing the aggressive trio, Chen Sheng appeared to be frightened, standing still without moving. Seeing this, A trace of doubt shed through the eyes of the Dog faced man on the right. Is this the one who killed the Transforming Power organization member without even giving the opponent time to call for help? Did someone else kill the organization member? The Dog faced man¡¯s gaze cast towards the house where Zhou Li was located. Could it be¡ the real master is in that room? As he got closer and closer to Chen Sheng and still no response from him, The Dog faced man became more and more certain of his inner guess. He secretly increased his vignce. He opened his mouth, preparing to warn Guo Yang and the others to pay attention to the situation in the room. ¡°Be careful of that room¡ª But at that moment, A muscled arm suddenly stretched out. p! Five long and robust fingers tightly held the Dog faced man¡¯s face, forcing his forward-rushing body to stop as if it had hit a steel wall. What¡¯s going on?! The Dog faced man¡¯s eyes were filled with horror. Before he could see what was going on, Chen Sheng appeared in front of him within a blink of an eye and knocked the Dog faced man dead. That was a Transforming Power user! Not an ordinary person he could casually pick up from the street. He was so easily killed, and they couldn¡¯t even react. Chen Sheng¡ what kind of monster are you? While Guo Yang felt fear, he also felt a little relieved at the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, If he was one dayter, with Chen Sheng¡¯s progress speed, he might be even more terrifying. But now¡ They could still fight. Guo Yangpletely discarded his contemptuous attitude. He needed to bring out all his strength to overpower Chen Sheng as quickly as possible. With that thought, Guo Yang¡¯s gaze became focused. ¡°Inhale ¡ª¡± A sharp inhaling sound suddenly came from his mouth. Next second, Gulu Gulu. The strong and drum-like heartbeat sounded from Guo Yang¡¯s body. Apanied by the cracking sound of his bones changing, his body slowly stood up, and the muscles on his surface gradually swelled. In just a short breath, He transformed from his originally tall and thin figure to a well-built and strong man. His clear yellow pupils stared at Chen Sheng intensely. Guo Yang did not say another word. Chen Sheng has now be an enemy worth his attention. When facing an enemy, Fight first, then talk! ¡°Attack! ¡± Whoosh! Upon Guo Yang¡¯smand, his body shot out first. In almost the blink of an eye, his huge body appeared in front of Chen Sheng. The shadow enveloped Chen Sheng¡¯s head. And apanied by a sharp howling sound. ¡°Die! ! ! Guo Yang¡¯s face was ferocious, and his yellow pupils emitted a murderous aura. He slightly crouched, and his arms drilled out from his chest, turning into ws halfway through, and reaching for Chen Sheng¡¯s head. It looked like a fierce tiger pouncing, extremely intimidating. At the same time, The other Dog faced man also went around to Chen Sheng¡¯s back, with his arm transforming into a ck thread, striking directly at Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. Facing the attack from the front and back, Chen Sheng remained calm andposed. Under the state of the Eye of True View, coupled with high agility senses. Guo Yang¡¯s rapid attacks seemed as slow as a turtle crawl in Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. His pupils slightly shifted as he even had the leisure to observe Guo Yang¡¯s body change. It looks¡ like there is not much difference from when he had entered the Breathing Technique state. Thinking this way, Chen Sheng took action. With a step on his left foot, he dodged past Guo Yang¡¯s w attack with ease. At the same time, his left arm shot out from his waist, aiming lightning-fast at Guo Yang¡¯s ribs. Bang! The sudden intense pain caused Guo Yang¡¯s body to sway. Chen Sheng¡¯s movement didn¡¯t stop. He turned around, raising his right hand while molding his fingers into a w and sweeping it towards the dog-faced man. The sharp and piercing breaking air sound instantly filled the dog-faced man¡¯s ears. Dodge, he must dodge. Otherwise, he would die!!! The dog-faced man screamed internally, desperately trying to control his body to avoid the attack. However, Chen Sheng¡¯s speed was too fast. He could only watch helplessly as the w came closer and closer, unable to react. In the end, the w passed right by his neck. Tear! Blood blossomed in the night sky. Thump! Under the influence of inertia, the dog-faced man¡¯s huge body fell heavily to the ground. The skull that had barely clung to his body by the skin broke apartpletely from his body due to the fall. Two down. Chen Sheng¡¯s face remained expressionless as he counted silently in his heart. Then, while Guo Yang¡¯s strength was waning, and his new strength had not yet emerged, Chen Sheng stepped forward, unleashing a series of Five Elements Fists. Splitting Fist like an axe, its force like a de! Bang! Guo Yang¡¯s shoulder was hit, his raised arm immediately drooping down. He quickly retreated, trying to put some distance between himself and Chen Sheng. However , he was fast, but Chen Sheng was even faster! Drilling Punch like lightning, aiming straight for his waist! Bang! Intense pain immediately engulfed his mind from the point of impact. Guo Yang¡¯s eyes bulged, and bitterness surged up his throat. Staggering back, he could no longer control his body, retreating continuously. However, Chen Sheng relentlessly pursued him. He took a huge step forward, and his right arm transformed into a ck line that shot out tiercely. Bashing Fist like an arrow, piercing through his form! Rip! The fistnded squarely on his chest, the force passing right through. Guo Yang¡¯s clothing on his back instantly burst open. After suffering continuous heavy blows, Guo Yang¡¯s eyes turned red, and he roared in rage. His upper and lower rows of teeth had long been soaked in blood. Had it not been for him being in the Breathing Technique state, his heart would have burst from the Bashing Fist just moments ago. Damn it! Guo Yang¡¯s expression was extremely hideous. Chen Sheng¡¯s attack speed was so fast that he couldn¡¯t even see it clearly. Just two days! He clearly remembered that, just the day before yesterday, this kid could only be chased around by him. But now, with his increased strength, he didn¡¯t even have the most basic ability to counterattack in front of him. No, it can¡¯t continue like this. In Guo Yang¡¯s heart, the idea of defeating Chen Sheng waspletely gone. His mind was filled with shock and fear. This monster must be killed by any means necessary. Otherwise, if he survives¡ the one who will die is himself! His brain worked at lightning speed, thinking about how to win the battle. Chen Sheng¡¯s speed was much faster than his own. If he wanted to handle the opponent unharmed, it was impossible. However, judging from the force of Chen Sheng¡¯s punches from earlier, his weaknesses should be strength and constitution. The key to victory¡ lies in this! Having thought of this, determination filled Guo Yang¡¯s heart. He had to exchange injuries for a chance to survive. Step! Guo Yang¡¯s right foot mmed on the ground, stopping his forward momentum. He twisted his waist! Guo Yang¡¯s expression was fierce, advancing instead of retreating. Whoosh! His left hand darted out, instantly grabbing Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder, his sharp nails sinking into the flesh. This was done to prevent Chen Sheng from having the opportunity to dodge. At the same time, Guo Yang¡¯s right hand shot out like lightning, aiming straight for Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. ¡°Die! ! ! His five fingers were getting closer and closer to Chen Sheng¡¯s heart, seemingly about to hit the target. But right then, Chen Sheng¡¯s palm shot outter but arrived sooner, blocking in front of his chest. p! His fingers fit perfectly in the gaps, locking tightly with Guo Yang¡¯s hand, trying to stop his advance. However, Guo Yang remained calm. Chen Sheng¡¯s reaction was already within his expectations. ¡°Dare to block, then I¡¯ll destroy your hand as well!¡± His expression turned fierce, his body¡¯s muscles expanded instantly, and even his veins bulged tremendously, appearing terrifying. His arm slowly pushed forward, inching closer to the heart¡¯s position. He intended to tear Chen Sheng¡¯s palm and heart out together! At this moment, Chen Sheng seemed to have a hard time resisting Guo Yang¡¯s powerful force. He could only watch helplessly as the opponent¡¯s ws got closer and closer to his heart. Seeing this, a hint of joy shed across Guo Yang¡¯s face. He was extremely relieved that he had made the right choice. With a malicious smile, he looked at Chen Sheng, wanting to enjoy Chen Sheng¡¯s terrified expression. However, when Chen Sheng¡¯s face came into his view, what Guo Yang saw was a calm expression. Wasn¡¯t he afraid? A hint of doubt flitted through Guo Yang¡¯s heart. Before he could figure it out, he saw Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth slowly open. The next second, Guo Yang¡¯s ears were filled with a sound that made his heart plummet. ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± The sound of a familiar inhale came from Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth.. Chapter 74 - 73: The Way of Triple Kill and Facing Death Chapter 74: Chapter 73: The Way of Triple Kill and Facing Death Trantor: 549690339 ¡°No, no!!!¡± As soon as he heard the familiar breathing sound¡ Guo Yang¡¯s face changed, revealing a look of absolute terror. The hope of killing Chen Sheng was just before his eyes, but it was about to be shattered. This feeling almost drove him mad. ¡°Die for me!!!¡± Guo Yang roared fiercely, his face hideous like a vicious ghost, his already immense muscles swelling even more, the veins on his skin seemingly about to burst. He desperately tried to scoop out Chen Sheng¡¯s heart before Chen entered the Breathing Technique state. However , No matter how hard he tried, his arm was trembling constantly. Chen Sheng¡¯s gradually expanding body seemed like a steel cast wall blocking ms way, preventing mm rrom maK1ng any progress. At the same time. The crisp sounds of muscles cracking sounded out in front of him. Chen Sheng, who was originally shorter than Guo Yang, was growing taller, and his muscles were expanding continuously. In the blink of an eye, his height leveled with Guo Yang¡¯s, and their stature was evenly matched. He stared at Guo Yang calmly. His eyes were as deep as ancient wells, devoid of any emotion, yet Guo Yang felt a chilling sensation at the bottom of his heart. ¡°No¡no!¡± It was already toote. Guo Yang shook his head, mumbling to himself. In his voice, there was only fear and despair. A martial artist who has entered the Breathing Method state can enhance their physical abilities by a third. Even with just the previous Chen Sheng, he barely had any strength left to fight back. Relying on the advantages brought by the Breathing Technique, he barely managed to seize a chance to kill his opponent by trading injury for injury. And now, Chen Sheng had also entered the Breathing Method state. Run. He had to run. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die. Realizing this, Guo Yang stopped trying to attack Chen Sheng. Instead, he tried to pull back his hand and quickly escape from there. However , Chen Sheng¡¯s five fingers were like iron hoops, tightly welded on Guo Yang¡¯s palms, preventing him from pulling them out no matter how hard he struggled. Not only that, even the muscles on his shoulders were tightening, firmly imprisoning Guo Yang¡¯s fingernails. ¡°Get off of me!¡± Guo Yang¡¯s face turned vicious, putting effort into his entire body. Puff! His left hand finally broke free from Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder. Only that the sharp nails had all fallen off. His palm was covered in fresh blood. Ten fingers connected to the heart. The intense pain caused waves of dizziness, making Guo Yang feel as if he¡¯d lose consciousness the next second. There was one more hand left. Guo Yang clenched his teeth, ready to continue exerting strength. But just then, Chen Sheng held Guo Yang¡¯s palm and gently bent it forward. Crack! Guo Yang¡¯s palm instantly bent back at a 90 -degree angle. ¡°Ahh!¡± Guo Yang¡¯s face twisted in pain, and a scream burst from his mouth. However, just then, Pat! Chen Sheng¡¯s arm reached out, grabbing his cheek directly. With his face covered in Chen¡¯s hand, Guo Yang could only widen his eyes helplessly, making whimpering sounds incessantly. ¡°So annoying.¡± The voice was cold, Making the fear in Guo Yang¡¯s eyes deepen even further. Chen Sheng leisurely let go of Guo Yang¡¯s bent palm, allowing his arm to hang down limply. He raised a finger to his lips, gesturing for Guo Yang to keep quiet. ¡°Now, I ask, you answer.¡± ¡°No answer, you die.¡± ¡°Understand?¡± At this point, how dare Guo Yang say no to Chen Sheng? Ignoring the intense pain, he frantically nodded his head. Seeing this, Chen Sheng let go of his grip. With a thud, Guo Yang¡¯s body went limp, and he knelt on the ground, panting heavily. ¡°Why did youe after me?¡± ¡°The characteristics of the killer who murdered Junior Sister Li match with yours. I was afraid you knew I went to the chemical nt with her, and I suspected you of having the Breathing Technique and Spirit Medicine, so¡¡± Faced with the questioning, Guo Yang didn¡¯t dare to hesitate for a moment. He quickly revealed his connection to the mysterious organization as well as his suspicions about Chen Sheng. ¡°Where is Mr. Hai now?¡± After listening, Chen Sheng asked again. Their repeated attempts to disturb his life¡ He couldn¡¯t rest easy unless he killed them. ¡°Mr. Hai has already left Fuhai Province and went to other areas to handle the organization¡¯s affairs.¡± ¡°In the entire Quanjiang City, there aren¡¯t many of their personnel left behind, and most of them have gone into hiding.¡± ¡°A few of the more powerful ones have already¡¡± At this point. Guo Yang looked at the two corpses not far away, his meaning clearly implied. ¡°I don¡¯t know any more than that. He¡¯s very secretive about the organization, and I don¡¯t even know its name.¡± ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I advise you not to be an enemy of Mr. Hai. He is at least an Entering Realm Martial Artist. ¡± ¡°Even if you are strong, you are no match for him.¡± Guo Yang looked at Chen Sheng very sincerely. It seemed like he was genuinely concerned for Chen Sheng. ¡°Is that so¡¡± Chen Sheng showed a thoughtful expression. At this moment. Thump! Thump! Thump! Before he could speak, Guo Yang, who was kneeling before him, began to kowtow. ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I beg you to spare me.¡± ¡°I promise I will never be your enemy again, and I will not let my Master know about you.¡± ¡°I can also help cover for you.¡± Guo Yang¡¯s heady on the ground, his voice trembling, and even with a hint of a sob. However, In a ce unseen by Chen Sheng. The hatred in Guo Yang¡¯s eyes was almost overflowing. His remaining left arm slowly fumbled into his chest. Only when he grasped a cold and hard object did Guo Yang reveal a glimmer of joy in his eyes. ¡°Junior Brother Chen¡¡± ¡°I beg you¡ please spare me.¡± When he raised his head again, his face instantly reverted to a pitiful expression. In response to his plea, Chen Sheng¡¯s brows furrowed, as if pondering. At this moment, A fierce light shed in Guo Yang¡¯s eyes. Now¡¯s the chance!! Whoosh! The item from within his chest was quickly drawn out. It turned out to be a pitch-ck handgun with a metallic luster. It¡¯s unclear where Guo Yang obtained it. This was hisst resort. As soon as he held the gun, he had already disengaged its safety lock. When he pulled it out, Guo Yang didn¡¯t hesitate for a moment and prepared to pull the trigger. But at this moment, Whoosh! A silver light burst in front of Guo Yang. It was the light reflected by Chen Sheng¡¯s fingernail under the moonlight. Guo Yang¡¯s face froze. He stared dumbfounded at his gun-holding arm. At the end of the arm, where the palm should have been, was now empty. The severed edge was gushing arge amount of fresh blood, staining the ground. The blood-soaked stone b looked particrly eerie under the moonlight. Thump. The severed palm fell not far away, rolling a few times before finally slowing to a stop. Guo Yang opened his mouth as if to say something. But at this moment, Chen Sheng slowly lifted his arms, stretching them to their limits. Under the bright moonlight, he appeared like an eagle spreading its wings. The bulging muscles on his back intertwined like a grotesque face from hell. ¡°The scent of malice on you is simply unbearable, you know?¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s faint voice echoed. Next second, His arms suddenly turned into ck lines, striking Guo Yang¡¯s head from both sides. Crack! Guo Yang¡¯s originally round head instantaneously deformed under the immense force, bing oval-shaped. Blood sprayed out from both ears. What Guo Yang was about to say was forever buried within his body. ¡®l¡¯nree. With Guo Yang¡¯s body falling to the ground, Chen Sheng silently counted. ¡°Old man.¡± He called out to Zhou Li¡¯s room. Not long after, Creak. The wooden door slowly opened. Zhou Li, with a pale face, slowly walked out of the room. Looking at the backyard, Severed limbs and blood everyvvhere, It seemed like a human hell. A chill arose in Zhou Li¡¯s heart. ¡°Little Chen, you¡¡± He looked at Chen Sheng and hesitated to speak. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that.¡± Chen Sheng raised his hands. At this point, he had already exited the Breathing Method state and looked like an ordinary, slightly muscr young man. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to use strength to protect the people around you? ¡°You see, haven¡¯t I protected you?¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s face wore a rxed smile. It was as if the events that had just transpired were nothing more than insignificant trivialities.. Chapter 75 - 74: Afterward, A Moonlit Night Talk Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Afterward, A Moonlit Night Talk Trantor: 549690339 Zhou Li had a confused look on his face. But you He wanted to refute Chen Sheng. However What the kid said seemed to make some sense, but not much. For a moment, he couldnt think of how to refute it Chen Sheng was not aware of Zhou Lis inner thoughts. After some slight exercise, he proceeded to clean up the aftermath. He went to the sink, and after cleaning the bloodstains on his body somewhat, he went directly into the grocery store to get somerge ck stic bags from underneath a ss cab. These bags were highly durable and big enough to fit an adult male. They were quite useful. Returning to the backyard, Chen Sheng picked up the limbs and broken arms from the ground and put them into the stic bags one by one, like he was cleaning up trash. Once he was done, Chen Sheng then turned his attention to Zhou Li. It was approaching winter now. The old man was standing in the courtyard shivering from the cold, but refusing to go back to his room. Alright, old man, go back to sleep. Ill clean up here. Hearing this, Zhou Li snorted. You better. Look at you, youve only been here for two or three days, and youve broken bones on the first day, killed two people on the second day, and killed three people on the third day. What are you up to, having a corpse party? Huh? At these words, Chen Sheng was slightly surprised. How did this old man know that he had killed two peoplest night? Were you not sedatedst night? You must be joking- cough, cough. Zhou Li raised his head high and his voice trailed off at the end. But then he was seized by a fit of violent coughing. For someone like me whos been around for a long time, a little sedative cant possibly Then why did you sleep like a dead pig? I was scared! Zhou Li held his head high and chest out, perfectly justified. Chen Sheng rolled his eyes and stopped paying attention to him. He easily picked up the trash bags and prepared to go out. Hey. At this moment, Zhou Li called out to him. Under Chen Shengs puzzled gaze, he cleared his throat. Theres a sewage treatment nt nearby. You can throw the stuff into the discharge there. Remember to tie a few stones to it, or the rotten bags will float upwards. Having said that, Zhou Li went into the room and rummaged through boxes and cabs. When he came out, he had several nylon ropes in his hands.bender Handing the ropes to Chen Sheng, Zhou Li pretended not to see the strange look on his face. Afterward, He walked nonchntly into the room. Bang. The wooden door closed. You take your time. Chen Sheng looked at the closed door, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. Interesting. He muttered quietly. Then, He carried the three trash bags out. One hourter. Chen Sheng returned to the backyard. In his hand, he held takeout food from the entrance of the alley. Old man, time to eat! He ced the food on the stone table and called out to Zhou Li. As soon as he heard it was time to eat, the old man moved quickly. With a few ttering sounds, the room door opened rapidly. Zhou Li briskly went to the stone table, opened and arranged the containers of food, and started eating. As for Chen Sheng, he didnt hurry to eat. After all, the ground was a mix of red, yellow, and white, like a dye house had exploded. If he didnt clean it up, he wouldnt have much appetite. Under the bright night sky, the moonlight poured into the backyard. On one side, Zhou Li enjoyed his dinner. On the other side, Chen Sheng held a bucket and mop, wiping and scrubbing the bloodstains on the ground. The scene seemed both bizarre and harmonious. Half an hourter. With the cleaningpleted, Chen Sheng finally prepared to eat. As Zhou Li didnt eat much, there was still plenty of food left. Fully fed and watered, he sipped tea while appreciating the moon above. Chen Sheng, on the other hand, was eating deliciously. There was a rare round moon tonight. An old man living alone and a young man with no family. They hadnt known each other for long, and it seemed there wasnt much to talk about. But their interaction, Was inexplicably harmonious. After dinner. Boss, how do I sign up for the Martial Arts Conference? As Chen Sheng cleaned up the dinner boxes, he asked. Dont ask. I advise you not to sign up. Zhou Li took a sip of tea and shook his head as he spoke. Why not? What if I manage to get a Spirit Seed and invite you to have some Spirit Medicine Soup, you could live a bit longer. Upon hearing this, You little rabbit! Zhou Li red at him. What the hell is this? What the hell is called living longer! If you cant talk, learn signnguage! Seeing Zhou Lis annoyed reaction, Chen Sheng did not respond. He poured himself a cup of tea and happily tasted it. Its not that I dont want you to go. Your strength is impressive, but the world is much bigger than you could imagine. Zhou Lis mood slightly recovered, and he continued to persuade. You should know that although Qi is divided into drop periods and tide rising periods. But Qi always exists. Some truly extraordinary and talented Qi-sensors, even during a drop period, still possess far superior constitutions. Thats why from time to time in ancient times, there were peerless fierce individuals who had tremendous abilities. For such people, the rising and falling of Qi just represents different progress speed. Otherwise, how would you think the levels like Transforming Power, An Jin, and Light Energy are divided? Its because even during a drop period, some can achieve your current strength, or even greater. Their starting point is your end. How can youpare with them? Hearing this, Chen Sheng pondered. You mean at the Martial Arts Conference, there will be many such people. Well, not many, maybe none. Chen Shengs fists clenched. Do you think youre funny? He looked expressionlessly at Zhou Li. Dont get impatient, I havent finished. Zhou Li subtly moved his stone bench further away from Chen Sheng and then casually continued talking. Although such people are one in a million, some slightly lesser ones had awakened before the six months to be Qi-sensors. Moreover, the majority of them are inrge martial arts halls. They have a few more months than you, and they basically drink Spirit Medicine every two to three days, or even daily. How can youpete? Zhou Li pointed his finger and poked Chen Shengs shoulder. Tell me, how can youpete? If you get killed, this old man wont help you with your corpse. The money on me is just enough for my own funeral. His intention was to persuade Chen Sheng to back down. He had long been used to living alone. But now, his life included Chen Sheng. Although they argue every day and wish to choke each other with their words, This was the first time Zhou Li felt truly alive, not just waiting for death. Regrettably, Chen Sheng had made up his mind. With the ability of the Panel, he just needs to find a hidden corner and train diligently. In just one or two years, hell be a terrifyingly strong person. However, who knows how the world will change during this time. Who can ensure that hiding away is safe? Are there few people who cultivate quietly for decades in novels, thinking they are invincible, only to be pped in the face? Chen Sheng is not a turtle, and he doesnt like being passive. Within his abilities, he wants to acquire as many resources as possible and improve his strength as quickly as possible. That is what he wants to do. Joining the Martial Arts Conference, he just needs to use the Eye of True View to know roughly the strength of others. If he encounters someone too strong, he can surrender directly. Even if he doesnt get a Spirit Seed, at least hell improve the treatment for Eagle Body Sect. Dont try to persuade me, old man. Just tell me how to sign up for the Martial Arts Conference. Upon hearing this, Zhou Li remained silent for a long time. In the end, he sighed with helplessness, Alright.. Chapter 76 - 75: Awakening and Visiting the Ward Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Awakening and Visiting the Ward Trantor: 549690339 The Martial Arts Conference will start in three days, no need to sign up. You just need to arrive at the venue before noon on the day it starts and register. As long as its a sect registered with the Fuhai Province, they can choose to participate or withdraw. The location is at the Fuhai Martial Arts Association in Haizhou City, just take a cab when you get there. Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded, understanding the time and location of the Martial Arts Conference. Haizhou City is the capital of Fuhai Province. Chen Sheng had only been there once or twice. But what he didnt expect was that the start of the Martial Arts Conference was so near. Although he didnt know what level the strongest martial artists attending the conference would be at, Chen Shengs original n was to break all attributes through the 20-point mark in another ten or eight days based on his current rate of attribute growth. He shouldnt be that much worse than others. But unexpectedly, the conference will start in just three days. He suddenly felt a little pressed for time. Old man, do you know any way to enhance the effects of training? Chen Sheng asked Zhou Li. Why, want to cram in somest-minute training? Three days, Im afraid you wont be able to. Zhou Li nced at Chen Sheng and shook his head as he spoke. I dont know if I can embrace Buddhism. But picking you up and dropping you on the ground, I can still do. Wanna try? Chen Sheng smiled. Ahem, theres really no need. I know a ce that can enhance the effects of training. Back then, my dad used to practice the Eagle w Hand there. Under Chen Shengs gaze, Zhou Li immediately stopped acting like he was asking for a beating and said seriously. Actually, even if you dont ask, I was nning to take you there myself. But that has to wait until tomorrow. As for now, well, the old man needs to go get some sleep. Zhou Li spoke light-heartedly. Saying that, he got up and walked towards his own room. However, At the moment he turned around, the rxed expression on his face disappeared. His face quickly lost its color, and his lips began to tremble constantly. His wavering figure walked very slowly. The sudden drop in temperature over the past two days made Zhou Li very ufortable. While talking to Chen Sheng just now, he had used up almost all his remaining strength to barely control his coughing. At that moment,bender Chen Shengs hand reached out from behind and supported Zhou Li. With his help, Zhou Li felt much lighter instantly. The two did not speak, silently moving forward. Get some sleep early. After helping Zhou Li onto the bed, Chen Sheng reminded him before going back to the backyard. You dont have to tell me, old man. As soon as I touch the pillow, I fall asleep. Youd better. The lights in the room were turned off. Chen Sheng gently closed the wooden door. Coming to the backyard, There was still some time before going to sleep. Having nothing to do, Chen Sheng started practicing his breathing technique in the courtyard. One and a half hourster. Chen Sheng, drenched in sweat, slowly finished his training. He looked at the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength:9-45] [Agility:9.83] [Constitution:9.63] [Skill Points:9.8] Strength and Constitution increased by 0.4 Agility increased by 0.46. Just a little more, and he could upgrade Eagles Breath again. Upgrading the breathing technique would allow his body to quickly experience the process of practicing the breathing technique in a short period of time. During this time, the efforts of training can speed up his absorption of Spirit Medicine Soup. Therefore, Chen Sheng ns to wait until tomorrow when he drinks the Spirit Medicine Soup to upgrade it, striving for the maximum training effect. With that in mind, He took a short break, showered, then went back to his room. The next day. It was just getting light outside. Chen Sheng had already opened his eyes. As his strength gradually increased, his sleep time shortened, but the quality of his sleep improved. Throwing off the covers, Chen Sheng got out of bed and stretched. There was a series of cracking sounds from his body. After cleaning up in the backyard and changing his clothes, He went straight out of the door. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng, who had bought breakfast, returned to the store. Knock knock. Old man, time for breakfast. Waiting for a few seconds, He pushed the door open slowly after hearing Zhou Li getting up. As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door to prevent the cold wind from getting in. He looked at Zhou Li by the bed. His mental state was still somewhat poor. At this moment, he sat by the bed, looking somewhat pale, and his eyes were almost closed. Ive already eaten, Ive put it on the table for you to deal with. Nonsense, of course Ill deal with it myself. Are you going to feed me? Despite saying that, Zhou Lis voice was still full of vigor when he retorted. Seeing this, Chen Sheng was slightly relieved. Leaving the room, he was about to continue his training. But at this moment. Ding dong- His phone notified him that he had received a message. He took out his phone and looked at the screen. His gaze suddenly became focused. Li Chenghu is awake. If there was anyone Chen Sheng didnt want to face right now, It would be his master, Li Chenghu. Although Li Qian brought it upon herself, he did end up killing his masters niece with his own hands. Chen Sheng was not a cold-blooded person. Facing Li Chenghu, who had initially introduced him to the martial arts world, taught him the Three-Body Technique, and gave him a bunch of herbs, he always felt a bit guilty. But once killed, it was done. Chen Sheng never regretted the things he had done in the past. Whats next is to not let Li Chenghu know the truth. Otherwise, not only would their master-disciple rtionship be over, the two might even be enemies. This was something Chen Sheng didnt want to see. Thinking of this, He notified Zhou Li that he was going out while pondering how to deceive Li Chenghu. Half an hourter. Jincheng District Chinese Medicine Hospital, Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to the powerful recovery ability of Qi-sensors, Li Chenghu, who had just woken up, seemed to be in good spirits. At this moment, he was sitting on the sickbed, eating rice porridge. By the bedside, Upon hearing the news of Li Chenghus awakening, Several Wuan Bureau members, as well as Li Xingwu and his apprentice Wu Ran, gathered there. Guo Yang hasnt been reachable sincest night. Can you send someone to look for him? Li Xingwu had a worried expression on his face. However, the person he was worried about was not his own son. It was the missing Guo Yang. For Li Xingwu, Compared to Li Chenghu, whom they didnt see eye to eye since childhood and barely met as adults, Guo Yang was more like his own son. Guo Yang has been missing for less than 24 hours, so we cant report it yet. Li Chenghu had long been ustomed to his fathers character. He casually said this and looked at Xu Rou. Wheres Ah Sheng? Has he been teaching at the Wuan Bureau recently? Xu Rou opened her mouth to answer. At that moment, the door of the sickroom was pulled open. Chen Sheng, wrapped in bandages, limped in from the doorway. Master, youre awake?! Seeing the awake Li Chenghu, his face was full of surprise. But the reaction of the others in the room was even more intense. Ah Sheng, what happened to you? Coach, are you okay?! How did you get like this? No matter if it was Li Chenghu or the students that Chen Sheng once had, they all looked worried for him. No one could have imagined that in just two days, Chen Sheng would be so miserable. Xu Rou even came up to support Chen Sheng and gave up her seat for him. Im fine. Chen Sheng smiled and waved. Then, under everyones gaze, he slowly recounted his experiences over the past two days. Including how he had survived the attack of the mysterious men in ck , escaped to Yinghui Grocery Store, met Zhou Li, and became the sect leader of the Eagle Body Sect. As well as how he had just stayed at Yinghui Grocery Store for one day, and the next night he and Zhou Li had been drugged unconscious, and their spirit medicine had been stolen. As for what happenedst night, it was hard to lie about, and couldnt be told truthfully either, so Chen Sheng chose to selectively ignore it. During his speech, Chen Shengs face appeared somewhat pale, and his voice was somewhat weak. The tragic appearance made Li Chenghu subconsciously ignore the change in his temperament. Dog-faced man men in ck Hearing Chen Shengs description of the peoples appearance, Li Chenghu, who associated them with the mysterious organization, immediately became serious. He didnt expect that Chen Sheng had also been targeted by them. Ah Sheng, I think He immediately wanted to speak, persuading Chen Sheng to move to the Wuan Bureaus Family Building, just like Li Xingwu. At least there, safety would be guaranteed. However, as soon as Li Chenghu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a voice. Youre lying! Chapter 77 - 76: Seeing Through and Successfully Passing Through Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Seeing Through and Sessfully Passing Through Trantor: 549690339 A week ago, you were just an insignificant Light Energy practitioner. When Guo Yang and Xiao Qian went to apologize to youst time, you were merely approaching the Hidden Energy Level. And just two or three days have passed since you allegedly escaped from the hands of the Transforming Power Realm ck-clothed person. Do you want to im that your strength jumped from Light Energy to Transforming Power in just two days? At this point, Li Xingwus gaze was sharp as lightning, staring intently into Chen Shengs eyes. It seemed as if he wanted to prate Chen Shengs eyes and see through his inner thoughts. But Chen Sheng just hung his head low, without uttering a word. Seeing his unmoved appearance, Li Xingwu continued to press him. Your lie might deceive my disciples who know nothing about martial arts. But it will not deceive me! You obviously dont understand what level Transforming Power represents! Only those with Transforming Power can escape from the hands of a Transforming Power practitioner! Anyone below that level has no chance to resist a Transforming Power martial artist, let alone escape from their clutches. So you must be lying! Li Xingwu seemed to have discovered the truth. Ever since his son took Chen Sheng as a disciple, a series of messy incidents had urred one after another. First, they were attacked by a mysterious organization, followed by Li Qians death, and now Guo Yangs disappearance. Although all these events appeared unrted to Chen Sheng, Li Xingwu had an intuition that the young man was definitely problematic! At this moment, Hearing Li Xingwus words, everyone except Wu Ran turned their gaze on Chen Sheng. Li Chenghus subordinates, although they didnt believe Li Xingwus words, were still waiting for Chen Shengs exnation. Facing the scrutiny of everyone present, Chen Sheng opened his mouth as if trying to defend himself. However, the words never left his lips. He looked speechless and at a loss for words. Seeing this, Li Xingwu snorted derisively. As I thought, you have Enough! Suddenly, Amanding voice interrupted Li Xingwus speech. It was Li Chenghu who had spoken. If my disciple does anything wrong, I will handle it myself. You just take care of your own disciple. Guo Yang is missing, so why are you still here wasting time with us? Cant you search yourself before calling the police? Li Chenghus expression was cold, and his mood seemed to be very bad. Facing his own father, he was also very impolite. My sickroom is not a ce for you to rant. Now, you can leave. Li Chenghu nced at the WuAn Bureau members surrounding him, and they immediately got the hint. Master Li, please dont disturb our captains rest. Lets go. Xu Rou and the others stood beside Li Xingwu, their intentions clear. You Li Xingwus eyes widened, ring at his son. But Li Chenghu didnt even look at him, just waving his hand dismissively. The two men stared at each other for a few seconds. In the end, Li Xingwu finally withdrew his hand and snorted coldly. Continue to believe this kid. One day, you will regret it. With that, he threw down one final cold remark before getting up to leave the sickroom. Take care, Grand Master. Chen Sheng smiled as he bid farewell to Li Xingwu. Then, He looked at Wu Ran, following behind Li Xingwu. If everything went ording to n, Xingwu Gym would likely participate in the Martial Arts Conference. When that time came, they might encounter each other. Taking this opportunity, Chen Sheng wanted to see just what level of strength Wu Ran, Li Xingwus treasured genius disciple, had reached. The next second, Wu Rans attribute panel appeared before his eyes. Chen Shengs pupils contracted instantly. [Wu Ran] [Strength:13-7] [Agility:ll.l] [Constitution:13-4] [Skills:Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound IV2, Crane Echoing Wind Chime IV2] Strong. Very strong. Wu Rans attributes were far beyond Chen Shengs current level. Even in his normal state, Wu Ran is almost equivalent to Chen Sheng when he activates his Eagle Body Breathing Technique. With such high attributes, Chen Sheng estimated that it would take him at least two days to catch up. He clearly remembered, When he first joined the martial arts hall, Wu Ran was only at the Hidden Energy Level. Was he hiding his strength? Or was there another motive? Moreover, Wu Rans panel showed that besides Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, he had also mastered another technique called Crane Echoing Wind Chime. From its name, it seemed to be another breathing technique. At this moment, As if sensing Chen Shengs gaze, Wu Rans eyes subtly shifted, looking right at Chen Sheng. Their gazes met. This Wu Ran, he was definitely up to something. Chen Shengs heart sank, a hint of caution rising within him. As for wu Ran, He continued to treat everything around him with the same indifference as before. He simply nced at Chen Sheng before looking away again. Soon, With the sound of the door closing, All the others had left the room. A somber atmosphere descended upon the hospital room. Neither Chen Sheng nor Li Chenghu spoke. Only the instruments at the side emitted a constant beeping sound. With a calm expression, Li Chenghu stared at Chen Sheng without speaking. But the pressure in his gaze made Chen Shengs smile slowly fade. Li Qian is dead, did you know? Suddenly, Li Chenghu spoke up. Upon hearing this question, Chen Sheng instinctively nodded his head. I know. Who told you? It was.. Chen Sheng was about to answer, But Li Chenghu quickly added, Ah Sheng, think it over before you speak. The answer to this question is very important. He calmly looked at Chen Sheng. Upon seeing this, Chen Shengs heartbeat missed a beat. He slightly clenched his hands and pinched his thighs. This subtle movement was naturally noticed by Li Chenghu. But he didnt rush him. He just waited quietly for the answer. After a long time. Chen Sheng took a deep breath. It seemed as if he hade to a decision. Guo Yang told me. Hearing this answer, Li Chenghus heart secretly sighed with relief. He wasnt a fool. Even with the cover of his injuries, he could see the change in Chen Shengs bearing at a nce. The loopholes in the lies were even more obvious. Li Chenghu was just waiting. Waiting for Chen Sheng to voluntarily tell him everything. Master, I want to show you something. At this moment, Chen Sheng suddenly stood up. He walked to the empty space in the ward and closed his eyes. The next second, Inhale The sound of inhtion immediately drowned out the beeping of the instruments in the ward. Chen Shengs body continued to expand. Ripping The bandages that were originally wrapped around him were torn apart. In the blink of an eye, Chen Sheng entered the state of the Breathing Technique. This Looking at the towering Chen Sheng, with muscles bulging all over his body and a frightening aura,bender There was a sh of shock on Li Chenghus face. Even if he did not have a deep understanding of martial arts, The constant warning bells in his mind, as well as the sharp sense of threat at this moment, It was clear to Li Chenghu that Chen Shengs current strength was far beyond his imagination. His disciple would probably not take much effort to kill him. Master, Ive killed people. In the Breathing Technique state, Chen Shengs voice was somewhat deep. He spoke slowly, Telling the story of his rtionship with Shen Ziming, and his killings of the pig-faced man, the faceless man, and the two brothers of the Wang family. Except for.. When I arrived at the woods near the chemical nt, I found Li Qians corpse, two workers wearing gas masks, and Shen Ziming. I killed those two men and saved Shen Ziming, and immediately returned home that night to pack my things, only to be attacked by Guo Yang. I fled to Yinghui Grocery Store to hide. Untilst night, Guo Yang and two other dog-faced men attacked me. I fought desperately and killed the two dog-faced men. As for Guo Yang, he also cultivated the Breathing Technique, and I couldnt hold on to him. Chen Shengs real lies were hidden under the many ring ws of the firstyer of lies, When people thought they had uncovered the firstyer of lies, they would believe they found the truth. Adding in the part that Chen Sheng showed willingly, This time, Li Chenghu finally believed his words. Chen Sheng exited the breathing method state and sat back down at the bedside. Master I really didnt want to kill anyone. But in that situation, I couldnt help myself Chen Sheng lowered his head, seemingly apprehensive about the fate that awaited him. Hearing his words, Li Chenghu was silent for a long time. Eventually, He let out a deep sigh. Ah Sheng, you should leave. Whiz! Chen Sheng raised his head, his face showing surprise. Master Li Chenghu raised his hand to stop him from continuing. Although the world now seems to be calm on the surface, there are raging undercurrents beneath. I took you as a disciple because I was afraid of such a day and wanted to wait until you gained more strength before I could use my connections to get you into the Wuan Bureau. But I didnt expect your strength to progress too quickly and for all this to happen too fast. Even if I want to recruit you now, its toote. At this point, Li Chenghu waved his hand again, His shoulders slumped, looking somewhat dejected. Go ahead. At this moment, Li Chenghu didnt know how to face Chen Sheng. Hearing this, Chen Sheng silently stood up and bowed deeply to Li Chenghu. Master, take care. Chen Shengs voice trembled slightly. After saying that, He turned around and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to open the door to the ward, Ah Sheng. Li Chenghus voice came from behind him again. Chen Sheng turned around. Li Chenghu looked up at Chen Shengs eyes and said, Today, you didnt tell me anything about killing people. I believe what you said at first. As for the rest, I dont know anything. But remember. Dont take the wrong path. I dont want to see your name on the Wuan Bureaus wanted list. Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded heavily. He clenched his fists, his face full of gratitude. Please rest assured, Master. After that, He opened the door and walked out. tter The door to the ward was closed. Chen Shengs expression quickly faded and turned in. He looked around. Li Xingwu and the people from the Wuan Bureau had left, leaving only one or two unfamiliar people in charge of guarding. Dont worry, Master. I wont let you regret today. Chen Sheng whispered softly. With that, Chen Sheng casually tore the bandages off his body and threw them into a nearby trash can. He walked towards the exit. His steps were steady and strong.. Chapter 78 - 77: Leaving and Packing for Departure Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Leaving and Packing for Departure Trantor: 549690339 Leaving the ward. Chen Sheng didnt swagger out the front. He first went to the second floor and looked out the hospital window. Seeing Li Xingwu and the others, he couldnt help but click his tongue and appeared somewhat annoyed. One by one. Just like flies, buzzing around me. Having just promised Li Chenghu, Chen Sheng didnt want to cause any more trouble. He observed for a while, and eventually took advantage of no one paying attention, leaving through the hospitals fire exit. He sessfully avoided Li Xingwu and others. Chen Sheng didnt linger and ran directly towards the Port District. Outside the hospital. That kid Chen Sheng is definitely suspicious. Li Xingwu kept an eye on Chen Shengs figure while talking to his disciple. Wu Ran did not respond. He closed his eyes, focusing on adjusting his breathing. To him, these matters were insignificant. With only three days left until the Martial Arts Conference, he had to seize every opportunity to upgrade himself. Wu Ran was not like Chen Sheng. He had many channels to learn about the Martial Arts Conferences information. That included how many masters would appear at this Martial Arts Conference. To achieve a ranking or even win the championship, his current strength was still not enough. Master, Chen Sheng has already left. His scent has disappeared. Shortly after Chen Sheng left,- Wu Ran slowly opened his eyes and spoke. What? Li Xingwu was first taken aback, then somewhat anxious.bender I suspect that this kid has something to do with your Senior Brothers disappearance. If he gets away this time, he might go somewhere else. Wu Ran, go to the Yinghui Grocery Store he mentioned and see if you can find any clues about your Senior Brother. Upon hearing this, Wu Rans eyes shed with irritation. But seeing the anxious look on Li Xingwus face, he finally nodded. I understand. Master, you should go back and rest first, Ill go check it out. Alright, alright, alright. Li Xingwu nodded repeatedly. Wu Rans strength had already far surpassed his, and if there were any problems, he would only be a burden. After saying that, Wu Ran jogged towards the Port District. Ayang, please dont let anything happen. Master, I only have you. Li Xingwu looked at Wu Rans departing figure, mumbling to himself. The reason he had recently invested all his energy in Wu Ran was that his talent was high enough, and he had the hope of winning at the Martial Arts Conference. As long as the Spirit Seed is obtained, there will naturally be plenty of resources to support Guo Yang. For this direct disciple who had been with him for ten years, Li Xingwu had long treated him like his own child. So naturally, he wouldnt let him participate in something as dangerous like the Martial Arts Conference. Unfortunately, Guo Yang, who is now lying at the bottom of the sea, no longer knows his masters true thoughts. After lingering for a long time, Li Xingwu sighed and then turned to leave. On the other side, After walking a distance away, Wu Ran stopped and searched around. Soon, he found an empty park ground with hardly any people. Yes. Wu Ran had no intention of checking the Yinghui Grocery Store. Whether it was Guo Yangs life or death, or whether Chen Sheng had any problems, to him, these people were nothing but insignificant minor roles. Only by improving his strength was the most important thing. He just needed to spend a few hours outside, and then returnter saying that he couldnt find any clues. With this thought in mind, Wu Ran closed his eyes, carefully controlling his breathing and strength. His body slowlyy down on the ground, and his body gradually made a buzzing sound like a cat-like animal. Half an hourter. Yinghui Grocery Store. The moment Chen Sheng entered the backyard, he saw Zhou Li wrapped in a thick cotton coat, carrying a bag of luggage from his room. Yo, youre back. Quickly pack up, were getting ready to leave. Zhou Li enthusiastically greeted him as soon as he saw Chen Sheng. What? Where are you going? Chen Sheng was somewhat surprised. Are you senile or am I senile? Didnt you say yesterday that you wanted to intensify your training? Have you forgotten already? Zhou Lis eyes widened, his speech as unptable as ever. Is it far? Not far, fifty kilometers. Chen Sheng nodded slowly. Fifty kilometers indeed wasnt too far; it would take about an hour by car to get there. Why dont you just tell me where it is, and Ill go by myself? Stinky kid! Upon hearing these words, Zhou Li immediately started cursing and stomping. You have the nerve to say that. Before you came, it was so quiet here, and I couldnt even see a single rat. Since you came, every night there are burly men visiting. I, an old man, hide inside my room every day. Do you know how scared I am?! What if more of theme after you leave? If I die, even as a ghost, I wont let you off. When you shower, Ill keep squeezing out shower gel for you, when you poop, Ill steal your toilet paper, youI Zhou Lis words became more exaggerated as he spoke. Chen Shengs eye twitched at the absurdity. However, he just awkwardly touched his nose, Uncharacteristically not retorting. Indeed, since his arrival, something happened every night at Yinghui Grocery Store. Fine, fine. Ill pack my things. Chen Sheng coughed twice and then jogged into his room to pack his things, unwilling to continue the conversation. As for Zhou Li, The old man was standing outside the door, smug about winning an argument with Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng packed quickly. After ten minutes, the two of them were at the entrance of the grocery store. After pulling down the shutter, locking it with an iron chain, and affixing an out for leisure sign, Zhou Li looked back at Chen Sheng. Lets go. He beckoned. Coming. Just as Zhou Li was about to move forward, Suddenly, he stumbled. In the next second, Zhou Li felt his perspective getting higher and higher. He turned his head and saw Chen Sheng, who had picked him up entirely. What are you doing? Zhou Li asked expressionlessly. Taking you with me, otherwise itll take you forever to walk fifty kilometers, and the Martial Arts Conference will have almost started its second session by then. Chen Sheng looked at him and said matter-of-factly. Who the fuck said I was going to walk? Are you fucking insane not to take the car? Put me down! Thinking about how he was held like a chick by Chen Sheng, Zhou Li felt humiliated. His feet touched the ground, Zhou Li snorted coldly and walked ahead with his hands behind him. Chen Sheng shrugged and followed suit. The two came to the entrance of the alley. Chen Sheng nced around, Soon, he saw a ck sedan driving towards them and stopping in front of them. The car window slowly rolled down, A middle-aged bald fat man with a scar stretching from the corner of his mouth to his chin appeared in front of the two. The fat man looked at Chen Sheng first. After scanning him up and down, he turned his gaze to Zhou Li, A bright smile blossomed on his face. Uncle Zhou, youre going back to the vige before the sacrificing ceremony? Why so suddenly? None of your damn business?! Zhou Li appeared to have an irritable demeanor towards everyone. Cant I miss my wife and want to chat with her? Alright, alright. The fat man shrank his head, not daring to argue with Zhou Li. Get in the car, both of you. Zhou Li didnt say anything more; he gestured for Chen Sheng to put the luggage away, and the two of them got into the back seat. Old man, whats with all the fuss? Once in the car, Chen Sheng asked in a low voice. He had initially thought Zhou Li just wanted to take him to some high-grade training ground or gym. However, it seemed that the destination was not that simple. Its all because of you, kid, insisting on participating in the Martial Arts Conference. Zhou Li rolled his eyes. For the sake of my Eagle Body Sect, I can only try my best to enhance your strength in these two days. Wait and see, that ce is most suitable for practicing the Eagles Breath. I guarantee your strength will surge like a rocket. Really?! Chen Sheng was somewhat skeptical of Zhou Lis words. He didnt ask for much, just powerful enough to digest the spirit medicine. Three days would be enough for him to increase most of his attributes. But soon, Chen Sheng found a w in Zhou Lis words. What the hell are you talking about, what do you mean because of met? Im the current sect leader of the Eagle Body Sect, and my goal is to make a name for the Eagle Body Sect. Do you get it, you anonymous old man of the Eagle Body Sect? You little brat! Dont make me hit a kid! Chapter 79 - 78: Arrival at the Fairyland in the Human World Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Arrival at the Fairnd in the Human World Trantor: 549690339 The ck sedan was driving on a somewhat muddy country road. Chen Sheng sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window. The city was getting farther and farther away from them. In the distance, dashes of green gradually came into view. Master, how much longer will it take? Chen Sheng turned his gaze back to the driver Fatty in the drivers seat. Fatty didnt answer. He nced at the rearview mirror and silently gestured the number three with his hand. Another 30 minutes? Probably. Chen Sheng nodded and continued to look out the window. As for Zhou Li sitting next to him, he had leaned back on the chair and fell fast asleep not long after getting in the car. He tilted his head, his mouth wide open, snoring asionally. Time slowly passed by. The road became bumpier and bumpier as Chen Sheng watched the car leave the road and head toward the distant woods. At the entrance of the woods, there were many traces of cutting. It was clearly a man-made road. Where on earth were they going? The doubt had just risen from Chen Shengs heart. Bang! The car trembled for a moment. The sedan drove straight into the woods. With a bumpy ride, Chen Sheng immediately felt as if he was riding a bumper car. The light outside the window dimmed. The grass and branches scraped the car windows constantly. The rearview mirror often collided with the passing tree trunks, making Chen Shengs eyes twitch. This was really reckless. Not knowing how much it would cost to repair the car. But the driver Fatty didnt intend to stop and kept driving straight into the woods. Fortunately, This experience didntst long. After ten minutes. The sedan slowed down and eventually stopped halfway. Were here, Uncle Zhou. Fatty turned his head and called out to the sleeping Zhou Li. Eh so soon? Zhou Li mumbled a few words and slightly opened his eyes. As soon as Zhou Li started speaking, he took a sharp breath of cold air. Why does my butt hurt every time Ie back? Zhou Li covered his butt and staggered as he asked Chen Sheng to get out of the car. At the trunk, Chen Sheng took out their luggage and stood aside with Zhou Li. Goodbye, Uncle Zhou. Fatty leaned his upper body out of the car window and said goodbye to Zhou Li. Then, He backed up all the way and went out the way he came in. Lets go. As the sedan gradually disappeared from their view, Zhou Li called out to Chen Sheng. The two continued along the man-made road, advancing through the woods. Old man, who was that driver Fatty? No matter if it was Zhou Li or that Fatty, their behavior on the way was very mysterious. Chen Sheng couldnt help but feel curious. Just a junior. Zhou Li briefly responded and didnt continue. It seemed he didnt want to say more about Fattys identity. Seeing this, Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders and tactfully did not ask further. They went on in silence. Meanwhile, Chen Sheng noticed something very strange. The surroundings were too quiet. In the entire woods, besides the rustling sound of the leaves swaying from time to time, there were only the footsteps of the two as they moved forward. Besides that, There were no signs of life at all.bender And with the dim lighting, It gave off an extremely oppressive feeling. So mysterious Chen Sheng nced at Zhou Lis figure and pursed his lips. Since getting out of the car, he seemed to have less to say, quite unlike his usual lively self. After traveling for about ten minutes, Bright light gradually shone from afar. At the same time, Chen Sheng faintly heard the rumbling of water and roaring. The two kept moving forward. Soon, As the light filled their vision, The scene in front of Chen Sheng suddenly became clear. Were here. Whoosh! Even Chen Sheng couldnt help but be shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. What met his eyes was a ring-shaped mountain cliff, surrounding the central waterfall. At the end of his vision, the silvery river cascaded down the cliff like thunder, echoing through the valley. Above the surface of the water at the base of the waterfall, a white mist rose several feet high, enveloping the entire valley and making it seem like a fairnd. Chen Sheng looked up. At the top of the waterfall, he could vaguely see the roofs of several houses. It seemed that there were people living there. At the moment, the two of them were standing by the rocky riverside. Not far ahead, there was a solitary small wooden house that seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time. Zhou Li didnt stop walking. He headed straight for the wooden house. Chen Sheng quickly recovered from his shock and followed behind him. When they reached the wooden house, Zhou Li took out a key and unlocked the iron chain tied to the door. The wooden door creaked open. Cough cough! A musty smell instantly hit them in the face. Zhou Li waved his hand in front of him. Lets clean up first; well be staying here for the next few days. Chen Sheng examined the surroundings of the wooden house. The space inside was notrge, but the living facilities were quiteplete. There was a stove, a wooden table, and a small bed. What does this have to do with my training? Chen Sheng was puzzled. Whats the rush? Youll knowter. Zhou Li took out cleaning tools from the corner of the room and a towel from his bag. Lets get to work! Then, The two began cleaning. After approximately an hour, With the cooperation of Chen Sheng and Zhou Li, the long-abandoned small wooden house was transformed. It was around lunchtime. The two moved two chairs outside the house. Zhou Li picked up some stones and made a circle with them. Chen Sheng went to the woods at the back and collected arge pile of dry leaves and branches, stacking them together. Soon, a makeshift fire was lit. They took out a few cans of food, opened them, and ced them beside the fire to cook. In the meantime, The two sat by the fire and admired the waterfall. Old man, what exactly is this ce? Chen Sheng had too many questions piled up in his heart, eager for answers. This time, Zhou Li did not refuse to answer. That is my home. He pointed to the house at the top of the waterfall and said, Decades ago, that ce was called Zhou Family Vige, where I was born and raised. My family has been practicing martial arts for generations, running martial arts halls, and has quite a reputation in the vige. As a child, I often came here with my father to watch him practice Eagle Body Skill and Eagle w Hand. Telling this, Zhou Li looked at Chen Sheng. Youre wondering why I brought you here, right? Try practicing the Eagle Body Skill here. His mouth curved slightly, seemingly looking forward to Chen Shengs reaction. Chen Sheng became interested. He immediately stood up from his chair and began practicing the Eagle Body Skill nearby. Inside his body, his heart began to pound furiously. It drove the blood in his body to flow at high speed, triggering waves of tidal-like impacts. Soon, Chen Shengs skin began to turn slightly red. A much thicker white mist than before rose from his body, gradually mixing with the mist drifting from the river. Huh? A hint of surprise shed in Chen Shengs eyes. Not long after he started, he felt that this practice was different from before. His bodys response was much more intense. And with each inhtion and exhtion, Chen Sheng could clearly feel that his bodys enhancement speed was actually faster than before. And his physical energy consumption became slower. Why? Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Li, puzzled. Are you excited already? This is just an appetizer. Zhou Li looked at Chen Shengs nlVet and sneered. What you really need to cultivate is there. He raised his hand and pointed ahead. Chen Sheng followed the direction of his hand. There, Was the waterfall.. Chapter 80 - 79: The Past and Wu Ran I s Purpose Chapter 80: Chapter 79: The Past and Wu Ran I s Purpose Trantor: 549690339 After we finish eating, Ill take you to try it. Zhou Li withdrew his finger, staring silently at the fire in front of him, So why dont we live up there? Chen Sheng was somewhat puzzled. If we want to practice near the waterfall, isnt it more convenient to live up there? I dont want to go. Zhou Li said in a low voice. His voice seemed a bit deep. Hearing this, Chen Sheng remembered that since Zhou Li came here, he seemed a bit despondent, talking less than usual. He had a vague sense of something. But for such matters, it was better to wait for the person himself to speak up. The two remained silent for a dozen minutes Mild bubbling noises rose from the can. The food was almost cooked. Chen Sheng slightly moved the can away from the fire with his foot, allowing it to cool off a bit.bender At this moment, Zhou Li spoke again. They are all dead. What? Bewildered by the sudden remark, Chen Sheng was somewhat at a loss. Zhou Li continued. Everyone in the vige, including everyone in my house, is dead. The only ones alive are me and that chubby guy who was driving. He was working abroad at that time, and I was handling some stuff for Eagle Body Sect in Quanjiang City. How did they die? Chen Sheng asked, puzzled. Were they killed by a Heavenly Person or a Qi-sensor? They drowned. When they died, some were cooking, some were sleeping, some were sunning at the door. There were no signs of water anywhere around, and there was nothing unusual about the river. But everyone in the vige was mysteriously drowned alive, without even a chance to resist. Hearing this, Chen Shengs eyes widened, showing a look of astonishment. No wonder he reacted this way. Zhou Lis words were just strikingly baffling. Have you investigated the cause? Chen Sheng immediately questioned. Of course. Zhou Li chuckled sarcastically. Ive been investigating for over a decade, my martial arts have gone to waste, and my body has failed. But no matter how I searched, I couldnt find any hint of any reason. Since then, nothing of that sort has happened here again. He pointed at the woods. Since the people in the vige died, no living thing has ever appeared in these woods. No animals, no birds, not even a mosquito. Beyond that, I cant find the slightest clue. Luckily, after so many years, Ive let go. Zhou Li lifted his head and took a deep breath. Im someone whos close to death too. After I die, Ill be able to see them. Isnt it? Zhou Li gave Chen Sheng a smile. However, In his eyes, Chen Sheng could clearly see a trace of regret. Clearly, Zhou Lis heart was not as epting of this matter as he said. When I get a chance, Ill help you investigate. This incident waspletely beyond Chen Shengs understanding. He couldnt guarantee what he could find out. He could only try his best when he gets a chance in the future. Its akin to returning a favor. Alright, alright. If you really find out, Ill bring my whole family to thank you. No need. Chen Sheng rolled his eyes, you should just stay and wait for reincarnation. This old man really couldnt keep up being serious for long. Hearing this, Zhou Li roared withughter. Theughter reverberated around the valley for a long time. After the conversation, Zhou Lis mood was evidently a lot lighter. A few minutester, The low temperature in the valley quickly cooled down the can. Chen Sheng opened up each can. Zhou Li ate two. He ate seven. After having a full meal, The two tidied up a bit and prepared to set off. Lets go to the top of the cliff first. There are a lot of protruding stones above the waterfall, its better for you to start practicing from a higher point. If I let you stand directly under the waterfall at the beginning, youll get washed away to your death. Zhou Li wrapped himself up tightly from head to toe, leaving no part exposed. Behind him, he even carried an iron pot and some herbs. Skeptical of his words, Chen Sheng expressed his doubt. The nearby waterfall was quite high, Chen Sheng estimated it to be at least sixty or seventy meters tall. If an ordinary person were to stand at the bottom, their bones would be shattered by the force and they would fall into the water, or they would be rushed to death by the immense pressure. But he didnt believe he would end up like an ordinary person. With his now attributes, an ordinary person in front of him was just like a fragile stic doll. With a gentle force, they would be torn apart. Therefore, Chen Sheng wanted to try standing at the very bottom of the waterfall to see if he could withstand it. If really not, he could start from higher up However, Before Chen Sheng could speak, Zhou Li seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts. Heughed scornfully. Foolish boy. Dont be ignorant of your own limitations. The water here is different from the water outside. If you dont take it easy, youll die. Chen Sheng may have his ws. But the best thing about him is that he takes advice. Since Zhou Li said so, he did not insist. However.. Old man, are you nning to stroll all the way up there? Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow. What else, jump up there? Hurry up and follo hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! Just as Zhou Li had taken a few steps forward, he felt himself lift off the ground. He turned his head to look. Chen Sheng was grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Old man, you know nothing about Strength. Before Zhou Li could understand what he meant by that, Inhale - The powerful sound of inhtion exploded next to his ear. He could even feel the air around him rapidly converging into Chen Shengs mouth. Crack Crack! Chen Shengs height suddenly ballooned to one point nine meters in a blink of an eye, his body full of bulging muscles. This was the first time Zhou Li saw Chen Sheng enter the Breathing Technique state. The aggressive aura that hit him straight in the face caused goosebumps to continuously rise on his skin. What are you Ahhh! Bang!! Chen Sheng rocketed off the ground with a stomp of his foot and soared towards the cliff, carrying Zhou Li with him. The scenery on both sides blurred in an instant. The sudden high speed made Zhou Lis stomach churn. The words he had been about to speak were instantly transformed into screams echoing between the valley. Before he had a chance to adjust, Onward! Chen Sheng let out a long roar. The muscles in his legs bulged. To the point that the gravel beneath his feet even burst apart and flew away in an instant. It seemed as if they were about to crash into the steep cliff face. Yet, at that moment, Chen Sheng lifted his foot and stepped! Bang! The protruding rocks on the cliff face instantaneously burst apart. With the help of this force, the two of them shot upward again. Just like that. Chen Sheng carried Zhou Li, continually jumping upward along the cliff face. For Chen Sheng, it was an unprecedentedly novel experience. However The joys and sorrows of humans are not the same. The joy of Chen Sheng was built upon the pain of Zhou Li. You little brat! Even as a ghost, I wont let you go!! Zhou Lis screams were exceptionally intive. Between the valleys, Recklessughter and terrified screams merged into one, like a symphony. Quanjiang City. Dormitory of the Wuan Bureau. Wu Ran, who had returned from the outside, opened the door. Master, Im back. As soon as the words fell, The door to Li Xingwus room swung directly open. So, did you find any trace of your senior brother? He asked anxiously. No, by the time I got there that grocery store had already closed. What Wu Ran said was not a lie. Though he was reluctant to waste time going to the Port District, He still ordered a delivery from Meituan, bought some stuff from Yinghui Grocery Store, and took the opportunity to check out the basic situation. From this, he gathered that the grocery store was already closed. There indeed must be a connection with him! The expression on Li Xingwus face turned severe. In his eyes, Chen Sheng undoubtedly had absconded out of guilt. Losing sight of him now, it would surely prove difficult to find him again. Li Xingwus face was constantly changing, pondering how to find traces of Chen Sheng. But right then, Master. How about asking Uncle Li Wu Ran had intended to suggest seeking Li Chenghus help, But was immediately interrupted by a cold snort from Li Xingwu. Cant you see it? He is more concerned about his precious disciple than me, his own father. Without solid evidence, he will not investigate Chen Sheng. Having said this, Li Xingwu seemed increasingly upset. He waved his hand. Lets drop that for now, go practice. Having said that, He prepared to return to his room. Im about to break through to the second level of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. Wu Ran casually remarked from behind. As soon as the words fell. Li Xingwu, who initially had an incredibly somber expression, turned his head around in an instant. His eyes were filled with an indescribable shock. His own disciple had been practicing the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique for only half a month now. And he is about to reach the second level?! Are you telling the truth? Wu Ran nodded. Master, the Martial Arts Conference is about to begin. As long as I can break through to the second level before that, I will surelye out on top. At that time, we can request the Wuan Bureau Headquarters in Haizhou City to help find Brother Guos whereabouts and even investigate Chen Sheng. Its just, I think I might still becking some spirit medicine. As he said this. Wu Rans expression became slightly troubled. Good, good, good. Upon hearing such good news. Li Xingwu, who was initially rather dejected, immediately nodded with delight, endlessly saying good. What Wu Ran said was right. If they coulde out on top in the Martial Arts Conference, the status of their Xingwu Gym within the Martial Arts Association, and even arguably the entire Fuhai Province, would significantly improve. As the Martial Arts Association is a national organization, asking the Wuan Bureau to investigate Chen Sheng would be a cinch. Chen Sheng no matter who you are or what secrets you hold. If Guo Yangs disappearance truly has something to do with you. You absolutely cannot escape! Thinking this, A glint of determination shed in Li Xingwus eyes. Dont worry. If theres no more spirit medicine, even if I have to lose face, Ill find a way to get some for you. You just need to concentrate on training and make a big ssh in the Martial Arts Conference. Having said this, Li Xingwu went out the door, preparing to find spirit medicine for Wu Ran. Having practiced martial arts for many years, he had innumerable friends in the circle. If he did not mind losing face, obtaining a few stalks of spirit medicine should be possible. Thank you, Master. Dont worry, Brother Guo is naturally blessed, he will definitely be okay. Once Ie out on top, everything will turn out well. With a gentle smile, Wu Ranforted Li Xingwu. Good, good. At his disciplesforting words, a hint offort shed in Li Xingvvus eyes. You concentrate on training, Ill be right back. Take care on the road, Master. Bang. The room door closed. Wu Rans expression immediately faded. A breakthrough to the second level? He had already broken through and was not far away from the third level. Drawing the attention of the Martial Arts Association, gaining the attention of more powerful martial arts sects. This was his goal for participating in the Martial Arts Conference. Learning stronger martial arts and gradually reaching the peak. This was what he wanted. It was also what he was destined to get. All of these, obviously, the Xingwu Gym could not give him. For Wu Ran, the Xingwu Gym was nothing more than a ce to rest his feet. However, he didnt n on breaking his promise. Once he defeats everyone at the Martial Arts Conference, Investigating Chen Sheng, a character of little importance, would not be a problem. With this in mind, Wu Ran cleared his mind and walked toward his room. Before long. From inside his room, the sound of practicing the crane fist could be heard.. Chapter 81 - 80: River Water and the Official Start Chapter 81: Chapter 80: River Water and the Official Start Trantor: 549690339 The roaring sound of the rushing water was echoing in their ears. Chen Sheng and Zhou Li were standing by the cliff, and the only noise they could hear seemed to be this sound alone. Not far behind them was a giant stone. Next to the giant stone was a fire they had set up shortly before, with an iron pot on top brought by Zhou Li. The iron pot was already full of river water. Old man, are you sure theres no problem? Even though Chen Sheng was mentally prepared, he still felt somewhat scared when he looked at the waterfall up close and felt the turbulent water. This has nothing to do with his strength, but the instinctual fear humans feel when faced with nature. For his first time swimming, Chen Sheng needed to befortable practicing the Eagle Body Skill in the river. Once he got used to it, Zhou Li would start boiling the spirit medicine soup to maximize the effect of training. Dont worry, there will be no problem, back when my dad practiced martial arts here, thats how I watched from the side. Zhou Li patted his chest to assure Chen Sheng, but soon a violent coughing fit ensued. Old man, you Chen Sheng was shocked as he looked towards Zhou Li. I treated you like a friend, I didnt expect you to treat me like. Get lost, do you believe that I will kick you down there right now? Zhou Li blurted out angrily. Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders and didnt continue to say anything. Its not because he was afraid Zhou Li would actually kick him down. The temperature on the stone cliff was incredibly low. Chen Sheng watched as Zhou Lis face went from slightly red topletely pale. Chen Sheng tried to persuade Zhou Li to wait for him by the riverbank, but Zhou Li always worried about leaving Chen Sheng alone. This river is more terrifying than you think, once youre under the waterfall, you will know. In response to Chen Shengs persuasion, Zhou Li replied seriously. Seeing this, Chen Sheng didnt insist anymore. He moved a few steps forward toward the edge of the waterfall and looked downwards. In an instant, his mind was filled with a sense of dizziness. Zhou Li quickly followed him, pointing towards a protruding stone a few meters below. See that stone? I will tie a rope around youter, and you practice your breathing method over there. As he spoke, Zhou Li took out a thick hemp rope and tied it around Chen Shengs waist. The other end of the rope was tied to the giant stone at the edge of the waterfall. You boldly practice without worry, even if something really happens, old man will pull you up. Zhou Li had a wide grin and confidence in his face. As for this, Chen Sheng was very doubtful. But he didnt hesitate any longer. He met Zhou Lis gaze, they nodded at each other. Chen Sheng took his position, and jumped. With a ssh! The massive figure immediately disappeared into the water. Huff Cold. It was ice-cold. The icy cold aura that could almost freeze his soul prated into every pore on Chen Shengs skin. As Chen Sheng stood on the rock, that was his first feeling. Even with his powerful body when in a state of the breathing method, he was still unable to resist such bone-chilling cold. He subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath. But the feeling that followed made it almost impossible for him to do so. Heavy. As if a mountain was pressing down. It was much more severe than the feeling he had when wearing weighted equipment. The water rushed against his body, he felt pressureing from all directions down to each corner of his body. The cold and the heavy pressure came one after another. Chen Sheng was no longer able to maintain the rhythm of the breathing method. His huge body rapidly shrank, reverting to normal. Ssh! His physical attributes reduced by a third in an instant, it became even harder for Chen Sheng to resist the force of the water. He kneeled on one knee, propping his body up with his arm, barely keeping himself from getting washed away by the waterfall. Damn it! What the hell is this water?! Kneeling on the ground, Chen Shengs face was ferocious. This chilling cold and heavy pull, are beyond that of typical water flow. He struggled to get up from the ground. But the continuous impact of the water on his back made him feel as if he were carrying a gigantic rock weighing ten thousand pounds, he was unable to move. Kidare you okay?! Zhou Lis voice faintly came. Chen Sheng wanted to respond, Just resisting the water flow already turned his face flushed red. Once he opened his mouth, the breath he was holding in would release; he might be washed away immediately. All he could do was slightly shake the rope tied to his waist, giving a response to Zhou Li. Soon, The voice from the other arrived again. Hold your breath and concentrate, dont focus on resisting the water flow. Focus on your body! Focus on my body? Hearing this, Chen Sheng was deep in thought. He retracted his attention from the water flow. Chen Sheng closed his eyes and began to feel the changes within his body. Upon doing so, he discovered something strange. His body had unexpectedly entered a state simr to the Breathing Technique. His heart started to beat hurriedly, the blood in his body was flushing every corner of his body at an unprecedented speed, trying to dispel the ice-cold sensation invading his body. At the same time, Every single muscle in his body was in an unprecedented state of congestion, resisting the oppressive gravity. Internal organs, limbs, muscles, tendons. Inside and out, an extreme unity. Jointly resisting the external threats. Even if his physical strength was depleting at a rapid pace. But Chen Shengs body was in an unprecedented active state. With a slight adjustment, he can enter the state of the Breathing Technique again. Moreover, It was a stronger state than ever. Having thought that. Inhale Exhale-_ Chen Sheng tried continuously. Yet, he failed time and time again. Fortunately, He wasnt dispirited. Time steadily flowed by. Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Standing by the waterfall, Zhou Lis lips were turning purple and his face pale from the freezing mountain wind. But he was still watching worriedly in Chen Shengs direction. Up until now, Its been half an hour since Chen Sheng went into the water. But he was always submerged within and his actual condition was unclear. In the meantime, if Chen Sheng hadnt shaken the rope several times to signal Zhou Li about his condition, Zhou Li might have already pulled him up from the bottom of the water without any hesitation. But even so Its already been too long. Zhou Li was more and more worried in his heart, afraid that Chen Sheng was over-stubborn and refused to give up trying. Decades ago, A young Zhou Li had briefly tried waterfall training for the first time. But he only stayed in the water for a short two-minute period before immediately retreating. He felt the lingering danger of his life even if he stayed just an extra minute under the waterfall. That frigid and gravitational double pressure was something he could never forget. Even his father didnt endure more than half an hour each time he tried. However, What Zhou Li, didnt know was, When he tried it back then, the Qi was at a low tide. But today, its a tide-rising period. The river has now be far stronger than before. The agony Chen Sheng went through is several times more potent than Zhou Lis previous experiences. If he knew this, Zhou Li wouldnt have dared let Chen Sheng practice here. Unfortunately, Theck of urate information led to this. Chen Sheng suffered intense pain. Luckily, Whats perceived as a curse and a blessing are two sides of the same coin. At this moment, under the waterfall. After a half-hour of torment. Chen Sheng somehow, gradually, felt that he was bing ustomed to the impact of the surging water. Each time he adjusted his breathing, he found himself enduring more prolonged periods. As he kept trying over and over, His internal organs, muscles, and fascia were beginning to resonate on the same frequency. Inhale Exhale-_ Finally. After trying continuously for half an hour. Whoosh! Chen Sheng opened his eyes.bender A ring of amber once again encircled his pupils. Crack crack! The noises from within his body were more intense than any other time he had experienced transformation. Chen Shengs body began to swell rapidly. His palm slightly arched from the ground. The tough rock underneath turned to mush as if it was tofu, easily prated by his fingers. In just a matter of seconds. Chen Sheng recovered to his breathing method state. The skin on his body turned gradually red. The high internal body temperature countered the ice-cold water, fog rising from his body. Chen Sheng gradually felt the pressure from the water flow bing less overbearing. He smiled. Rise for me.. up!!! His veins popped on his forehead. Chen Sheng pushed himself up, using his arms and legs simultaneously. Eventually, Whoosh! Chen Sheng pushed against the cold and water pressure to stand tall upon the rock. Even the waterfalls water stream couldnt hide his enormous figure. Excellent!!! Zhou Li, standing above, couldnt help but cheer on seeing this. Kid, conserve your energy! What you need to do now is get used to training under the flowing water and avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Before he could finish his sentence. Below the waterfall, a muscr arm rose slowly from beneath the water, making an ok gesture. Seeing this, Zhou Li couldnt help butugh. He quickly returned to the fireside and used the lighter to ignite the woods. As the temperature in the pot rose gradually. Billows of steam rose from the surface of the river water. An hour and a halfter. Whoosh! Chen Sheng jumped out of the water. His massive body hit the ground, making a loud noise. Taking the towel Zhou Li extended, Chen Sheng wiped his wet hair. Meanwhile, The water remains on his skin evaporated continuously under the warmth of his internal body heat. His whole body seemed to be boiled, continuously giving off steam. Is the spirit medicine soup ready? He looked toward Zhou Li at the fire. In a hurry to reincarnate, are you?! Sit still and wait, also try regaining your strength. It will be a joke if you cant carry on the training suddenly due to power exhaustion cough cough! Zhou Li tried to tease as before. But he could barely finish his statement before a fit of severe coughing took over him. The coughingsted so long that he eventually fell on the ground. Seeing this, Chen Sheng quickly went forward, ready to bring him back to the river bank to rest, regardless of his disagreement. STOP! But then, Zhou Li immediately spoke a sentence in English. Ill go back once the spirit medicine soup is ready. You cant control the heat properly, it will be wasteful, and that wouldnt be good. With a trembling body, he climbed up from the ground and leaned against a huge rock to rest. If you try to drag me off, Ill shit on you. Zhou Li leaned against the big rock breathing heavily. Even uttering these few words seemed to consume all his strength. Chen Sheng was not afraid of him defecating. But, from the firm conviction in his eyes, he knew Zhou Li would undoubtedly argue about it even if he tried to drag him away. Eventually, He sighed helplessly, took off his jacket and put it aside the fire to dry. He then covered Zhou Li with it. Take it easy, old man. Dont kick the bucket before seeing me sweeping everyone off their feet in the Martial Arts Conference. Hearing this, Zhou Li snickered. I sure will be alive till then. To see how this bratt is beaten up. As he spoke, it seemed like he pictured the scene in his mind. With that image, he started chuckling. Chen Sheng, uncharacteristically, didnt refute. He just sat next to the fire without uttering a word, watching the spirit medicine inside the pot. The delightful aroma drifted with the mountain breeze into his nostrils. Chen Sheng summoned the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength:10.4] [Agility:10.8] [Constitution:10.6] [Skill Points:12.6] [Eagle Body Breathing Technique Level Strength increased by 1 Agility increased by 1.1 Constitution increased by 1.1 In the morning, Chen Sheng maintained his three-body breathing rhythm, coupled with an hour and a half hour of practicing the Eagle Body Breathing Technique not long ago. All his attributes significantly broke the mark of 10 points. The skill points also reached an adequate level for increasing the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. But this is not the end. Whates next is the real highlight. Looking at the pot and the spirit medicine soup, giving off a strange glimmer. How strong can he be, two dayster? Chen Sheng didnt know. But he was looking forward to finding out.. Chapter 82 - 81: Upgrade and Breathing Level 2 Chapter 82: Chapter 81: Upgrade and Breathing Level 2 Trantor: 549690339 Kid, with your talent, breaking through to the second level of the Eagle Body Skill in these two days shouldnt be a problem. As long as you break through to the second level, you can at least make sure you wont be killed in the Martial Arts Conference. By the waterfall, Zhou Li and Chen Sheng sat facing each other. The aroma and color of the Spirit medicine soup in the iron pot beside them became more concentrated. It was almost ready. Tsk! Old man, cant you just wish me well? Hearing Zhou Lis words, Chen Sheng rolled his eyes. Its not that I dont wish you well. Its just from my understanding of the various martial arts sects in Fuhai Province. With your current strength, its too difficult to stand out in the Martial Arts Conference. At this point, Zhou Li was too weak to argue with Chen Sheng. Hearing this, Chen Sheng became curious. How powerful were the people Zhou Li had met that made him feel that he couldnt win? Could it be Chen Sheng seemed to think of something. Zhou Li looked at him and nodded. Thats right, at least among the people I know, one has reached the threshold of Entering Realm three months ago. Those below Entering Realm cannot defeat an Entering Realm martial artist. Are Entering Realm martial artists really that powerful? Chen Sheng was somewhat incredulous. As long as his attributes were high enough, he didnt feel there was anyone he couldnt beat. I have no idea. Zhou Li pursed his lips. Im just an old man, where would I know these twists and turns. But this ismon knowledge in the martial arts world, its just that youre ignorant. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng didnt ask any more questions. But in his heart, there was not an ounce of fear. Instead, he looked forward even more, wondering what kind of strong person would appear in the Martial Arts Conference. And whether he could defeat them. While the two were talking, The spirit medicine soup was ready. Under Zhou Lismand, Chen Sheng quickly removed the iron pot from the fire and put it on the ground. The temperature in the mountains was low. In a brief moment, the temperature of the spirit medicine soup had reached a drinkable level. Alright old man, let me take you down first. Chen Sheng stood up and hoisted Zhou Li onto his shoulder. This time, Zhou Li did not resist. After all, if he stayed any longer, he might really lose his life. Arriving at the edge of the cliff,bender Chen Sheng leaped straight down. A strong wind hit their faces. In midair, Chen Sheng suddenly gasped, entering the Breathing Method state. His muscles swelled for a moment, and he quickly transformed into a one-meter-nine-tall burly man. The next second, Chen Shengs fingers curled into ws, inserting them into the rock wall. In an instant, debris scattered. Five w marks extended continuously on the rock wall. When they descended to a certain point, Chen Shengs legs pushed off! He leaped directly towards the ground with Zhou Li in tow. Boom! The huge body mmed onto the ground, instantly leaving a round pit. Countless fragments shot out in all directions. A few of them even embedded themselves in the walls of the wooden house. Zhou Lis eyelids twitched as he watched. He wanted to scold Chen Sheng, but he was too weak to say anything. With no other choice, he turned his head away, pretending not to see. As for Zhou Lis inner thoughts, Chen Sheng had no idea. He walked into the wooden house, put Zhou Li on the bed, and lit the firece. Rest well. As the temperature gradually rose, Zhou Lisplexion improved gradually. Seeing this, Chen Sheng left ament and walked straight out of the wooden house. With a few easy jumps, he came to the top of the waterfall again. He picked up the iron pot and drank all of the Spirit medicine soup. Soon, As the Spirit medicine soup entered his stomach, A strong heat quickly surged throughout his body. Chen Sheng quickly felt his body heat up. Huff He exhaled a white mist from his mouth, which shot out seven or eight meters before gradually dissipating. Quickly, he tied the hemp rope around his waist. Then, Chen Sheng did not hesitate any longer and leaped towards the waterfall. With a ssh, As soon as he entered the water, the ice-cold and pressure attacked him simultaneously. Fortunately, this was not Chen Shengs first time. Being mentally prepared, he slowly closed his eyes and started to adjust his breathing to match the rhythm of his body. Gradually, The bulging muscles swelled even more. Thick, green tendons burst out on the surface of his skin, making Chen Sheng look quite terrifying. His knees were slightly bent. His arms were stretched to the limit. At this moment, Chen Sheng looked like an eagle about to take flight. Several minutester, He could clearly feel, The heat flow converted from the spirit medicine in his abdomen was speeding up and rapidly infiltrating into his limbs, strengthening his physical body. Under the impact of the water, the training effect of the breathing technique was unprecedentedly powerful. Every muscle fiber was jumping crazily, bing thicker and harder. With each heartbeat, it was like a giant stone hitting the ground, prompting the blood to surge like a tidal wave. Every minute, every second, Chen Sheng could feel himself getting stronger. But this was not enough. He needed to be even faster! With that thought in mind, Chen Sheng opened his eyes and called up the panel. He looked at the skill column. [Eagle Body Breathing Technique Level 1: 250/10000] [Skill Points: 12.6] Upgrade! The next second, The words Eagle Body Breathing Technique became blurry in an instant. At the same time, his skill points dropped rapidly. [Eagle Body Breathing Technique Level 2: 0/20000] Boom! In a brief moment, arge amount of information and muscle memory flooded his mind. The influx of information was so vast that Chen Sheng couldnt help but groan, and his breathing almost lost control. At the same time, The speed at which the spirit medicine in his body was being converted increased sharply. In this extremely short amount of time, his body elerated through countless training sessions of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. Crack-crack! Chen Shengs arms made continuous crisp sounds of bone collision. The palms of his hands at the ends of his arms gradually emitted a metallic sheen. Whoosh! His fingers brushed against the stone wall, Effortlessly digging out arge chunk of stone, making it impossible to gauge the limit of Chen Shengs grasping power. And the changes brought about by the secondyer of the breathing technique were far from over. Now, Chen Shengs eyes felt like they were being scorched by fire, causing unbearable pain. The amber color in his eyes started to be even deeper. The intense painsted a few minutes before it gradually subsided. At the same time, The world in Chen Shengs eyes changed. Everything became incredibly clear. Looking down at the wooden house below, he could clearly see every detail of the wood grain on the walls. Looking up at the sky, he could even count the number of feathers on the asional birds that flew by. He could even see the leaves on a tree several hundred meters away about to fall. This feeling was very novel. The only strange thing was, Whenever Chen Shengs gaze fell on the birds in the sky, they would tremble violently, their usual steady flight bing erratic as if they were greatly frightened. Are my eyes that scary? Chen Sheng was somewhat puzzled. However, he didnt dwell on it too much and quickly refocused his mind. From the beginning, Chen Shengs purpose for practicing martial arts was very clear. To use martial arts to increase the speed of his body attribute growth, As long as his body was strong enough, what couldnt be killed with a single punch? Everything else was just icing on the cake. With this in mind, Chen Sheng refocused his attention on the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. Feeling the rapidly improving physical fitness, his mood became even more delighted. Second Layer? This wasnt enough. He needed to break through to the thirdyer before the Martial Arts Conference began. Or even. stronger! Chapter 83 - 82: Gains and Huge Upgrades Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Gains and Huge Upgrades Trantor: 549690339 Time moved forward as Chen Sheng practiced. The scorching sun in the sky continued to fall. Two hourster. Chen Sheng finally absorbed all the energy of the spirit medicine. Whoosh He stepped forward, his huge body withstanding the impact and leapt out of the water. Hended on the ground. Chen Sheng looked down at his body now. Fortunately. The secondyer of the breathing technique did not further increase his muscle size. Chen Sheng really didn¡¯t want to be a muscle monster. Compared to when he was at the first level, his height remained the same, but his surface muscles seemed to shrink slightly. The entire person appeared leaner, seemingly developing towards a streamlined figure. But this did not mean Chen Sheng¡¯s strength had decreased. On the contrary. Chen Sheng gently tapped his muscles. The touch he felt was not like flesh and blood. It was more like a hard stone. ¡°It seems¡ the muscles have beenpressed, improving the density,¡± Chen Sheng muttered to himself. Now, with his musclepression, he was not only faster but also stronger in burst strength. His defense power had also increased significantly. Chen Sheng looked at his own palm. The five fingers, like steel bars, slightly showed a metallic luster. If Chen Sheng had used his w strike before, he could have easily ripped through bones and flesh. Now, he could even tear steel apart. After inspecting his body, Chen Sheng exited the breathing method state and summoned the panel. Looking at the huge increase in panel attributes, he couldn¡¯t help but feel joy. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 12.6] [Agility: 13-3] [Constitution: 12.6] [Skill Points: 10.55] [Eagle Body Breathing Technique Level 2: 129/20000] In two hours, Strength increased by 2.2. Agility increased by 2.5. Constitution increased by 2. Although arge part of it was due to the upgrade of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique, it was still a tangible improvement. And this was not his full strength. Now, In a normal state, Chen Sheng¡¯s constitution and strength both broke through the 12 mark. His agility attribute directly surpassed 13 points. Once entering the secondyer of the breathing state, Chen Sheng¡¯s physical fitness would increase by one-third, and the attributes would likely rise to 16 or 17 points. In this state, Chen Sheng found it hard to imagine how much damage he could cause when using his full strength. Unfortunately, There was no one to practice with him and let him unleash his power. Only a half-dead old man, who would probably be blown away by his breath, Zhou Li. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng looked up at the sky. Only a single sunset remained in the sky. He could rest a bit, have dinner, and train for a while after that. At that time, his attributes would increase again. Even if the attributes don¡¯t increase as much as they did today in the next two days, it should be no problem to break through to the thirdyer of the breathing technique before the Martial Arts Conference began. Chen Sheng picked up the phone on the ground and checked the date. Today was the 19th, Sunday. The Martial Arts Conference would officially start registration on Wednesday the 22nd, in three days. That was enough. With that in mind, Chen Sheng picked up the iron pot and prepared to return to the shore. He arrived at the cliff and jumped down. Now, Chen Sheng, Even without entering the breathing method state, his five fingers¡¯ destructive force was equally astonishing, and he could easily climb and jump on the cliff. At the edge of the cliff, Chen Sheng¡¯s fingers sank into the stone wall, and he slowly slid down. Descending to an appropriate height, he pushed off with both feet, and his whole body glided towards the ground like an eagle spreading its wings. With a bang, Chen Shengnded steadily on the ground. Setting the iron pot aside, he walked into the wooden house. Seeing that Zhou Li seemed to be still sleeping, he gently closed the door without disturbing him. In their luggage, there were various kinds of fast-food products. Such as braised beef noodles. Old Tan¡¯s pickled vegetable noodles. Spicy beef noodles, etc. Although there wasn¡¯t much nutrition, it was enough to fill their stomachs. After all, Chen Sheng¡¯s main source of nutrition now was the Spirit Medicine Soup. Food alone was far from enough. Picking up the iron pot, Chen Sheng went to the riverside and scooped up some river water. Starting a fire, boiling water, and adding instant noodles. After adding the seasoning packets, the spicy aroma of the noodles gradually spread around. Before long. With a creak. Attracted by the smell, Zhou Li opened the room door and casually strolled over to the fire with his hands on his waist. ¡°Did you add the sausage yet?¡± He swallowed his saliva, staring eagerly at the golden noodles in the pot. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± Chen Sheng nced at him. ¡°Having a premium ham, are you afraid it won¡¯t be cooked?¡± As he spoke, Chen Sheng took out a dozen sausages and five eggs from his bag, tore open their packages, broke them into pieces, and threw them into the pot. He then cracked the eggs one by one. About a minute or twoter. Just before taking it off the heat, he sprinkled the vegetable packet. The aroma increased. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡± Zhou Li, holding a bowl and chopsticks, had been waiting impatiently for a while. Taking a break in the afternoon, the old man¡¯s spirit seemed to have improved a lot. He was like a starving ghost reborn. After Chen Sheng ced the iron pot on the ground, he couldn¡¯t wait to start scooping up noodles. One bowl for Zhou Li. The rest for Chen Sheng. Twenty minutester. After their meal, the two sat beside the fire, quietly watching the remaining light of the setting sun gradually disappear into the horizon. ¡°You don¡¯t say.¡± ¡°No, really, you don¡¯t say.¡± ¡°These instant noodles are truly fragrant.¡± Zhou Li was still somewhat unsatisfied. But his appetite was limited, and eating too much would be bad for his health anyway. After a short rest, Zhou Li returned to his room to rest again. The sky grew darker. Chen Sheng washed the iron pot and began to boil the Vitality Soup. Although he also longed for drinking spirit medicine all day, absorbing such a huge amount of energy in such a short time was not only beyond Chen Sheng¡¯s ability to bear but also impossible to perfectly absorb the medicinal effects. It would have been counterproductive. Thinking of this, he slowly got up. It takes about two hours to cook the Vitality Soup, and he didn¡¯t n to waste this time. First, train for two hours, then drain his strength and train for another two hours. It would be time to sleep at the end. Setting the rm clock, Chen Sheng jumped nimbly to the top of the waterfall in just a few leaps. Tying the rope, he jumped directly into the water stream. The familiar cold and pressure instantly enveloped him. Fortunately, Chen Sheng was already used to it and was not affected. After briefly adapting to the pressure of the water flow, he quickly entered the Breathing Method state and began practicing the Eagle Body Breathing Four hours flew by in Chen Sheng¡¯s devoted practice. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 13.6] [Agility: 14-3] [Constitution: 13.6] [Skill Points: 13-55] [Eagle Body Breathing Technique IV2: 129/20,000] Chen Sheng, who had returned to the riverside, checked the results of his training. Four hours of training had increased all his attributes by one point. Throughout the day, under the triple effects of spirit medicine, the Eagle Body Breathing Technique¡¯s upgrade, and the waterfall, Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes had increased by about four points overall. This was a speed he had never dared to dream of before. If it continued at this rate, Chen Sheng estimated that he wouldn¡¯t even have to wait until the Martial Arts Conference began. By tomorrow night, he might be able to sessfully upgrade the Eagle Body Breathing Technique to the thirdyer. By then, his strength would take another big leap forward. With that, filled with joy, Chen Sheng extinguished the fire by the riverside and cleaned up the mess on the ground. After everything was tidied up, Chen Sheng went directly back to the wooden house. Compared to the cold outside, the presence of a firece made the interior of the house much warmer. Zhou Li was lying on the bed, fast asleep like a dead pig. Chen Sheng quickly spread out his bedding on the floor andy down. The moment hey down, Chen Sheng, who had been training all day, suddenly entered a rxed state, feeling that all the bones and muscles in his body were groaning. In no time, waves of sleepiness swept over his mind. Soon, he closed his eyes and entered dreand.. Chapter 84 - 83: Bottom of the River and Mysterious Black Shadow Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Bottom of the River and Mysterious ck Shadow Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Chen Sheng woke up early. He looked towards Zhou Li¡¯s bed and found that he was nowhere to be seen. The aroma of rice wafted in through the window. He took a deep breath and immediately felt hungry. Grabbing his washing utensils, Chen Sheng headed to the riverside to freshen up. He scooped up a cup of water, nning to rinse his mouth. However, Spurt¨C The water barely entered his mouth before it spurted out. ¡°Holy shit! ! ¡± Chen Sheng gritted his teeth in pain, feeling a sudden sourness in his mouth. The coldness of this water far exceeded the waterfall¡¯s stream. The moment it entered his mouth, Chen Sheng felt like his brain was freezing. ¡°Hahaha. ¡± Seeing Chen Sheng¡¯s reaction, Zhou Li burst out in heartyughter from not too far away. Zhou Li, who had been sleeping since yesterday afternoon, seemed a lot more energetic. Chen Sheng red at him, but didn¡¯t say a word. He just scooped up another cup of water from the river and stood up to walk towards Zhou Li. Seeing this, Zhou Li¡¯sugher suddenly ceased. ¡°Let¡¯s talk it out.¡± ¡°My old bones can¡¯t stand your rough handling.¡± Zhou Li signaled Chen Sheng to calm down. He picked up a kettle beside him. ¡°Use this to wash.¡± This was water that he had boiled earlier this morning. The river water was ice-cold to the bone, but after boiling, it could be used for drinking and washing. Chen Sheng took the kettle, finished his washing and sat down by the fire. In the iron pot, the rice porridge was simmering, and the fragrance that he had smelled earlier wasing from it. A fried egg and pickled vegetables were also ced on the ground nearby. Chen Sheng served himself a bowl of porridge and began to eat, along with the pickled vegetables and fried egg. ¡°Old man.¡± Chen Sheng suddenly spoke during the meal. ¡°Haven¡¯t you ever thought about investigating the source of strangeness of this river?¡± The river encircling Zhou Family Vige was bone-chilling cold, and its weight greatly exceeded that of normal rivers. Also, the colder it got, the closer it was to the downstream. Now, Chen Sheng had long ustomed to the water flow at the upper end of the waterfall. But when the water had entered his mouth just now, it had managed to catch him off guard still. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not stupid.¡± Zhou Li looked at Chen Sheng with a strange expression on his face and said as if it was the most natural thing in the world. ¡°You don¡¯t think I got this illness out of the blue, do you?¡± ¡°I had already explored every nook and cranny of the river bed over a dozen years ago.¡± ¡°N0tmng was round.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng suddenly envisioned a scene in his mind. This old man who couldn¡¯t even sense Qi, threw himself into this ice-cold, weighty river time after time, trying to find the truth about his loved one¡¯s death. However, he came back empty-handed time after time, and in the end, fell ill and is now living on borrowed time. He fell silent. For a while, neither of them spoke. However, Chen Sheng was silent but contemting. Given his current attributes, he should barely manage to stay in the river for a few minutes without any impact, if he entered into the Breathing Method state. Now that the tide rising period had arrived, there might be new clues at the bottom of the river>. Chen Sheng nned to explore the bottom of the river after finishing his training for the day. Maybe he would find some new clues. With this in mind, Chen Sheng stood up to start tidying up the leftovers. Zhou Li started picking out herbs from his bag to cook with the spirit medicine. After ten minutes. ¡°What are you doing? Chen Sheng was about to head up the waterfall. He nced at Zhou Li, who was standing next to him, closing his eyes and mentally preparing himself, and asked with bafflement. ¡°I¡¯m going up to cook the spirit medicine soup for you!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not cooked properly, the effect won¡¯t be as good.¡± ¡°And the herbs chosen for the blend have certain requirements like this one is cold, and you are training in the water¡¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Zhou Li, droning on and on, was abruptly interrupted by Chen Sheng before he could finish speaking. ¡°I wanted to say this yesterday.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you cook down here, and call me down when it¡¯s ready? Why do you have to go up there and suffer?¡± Upon hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s words. Zhou Li¡¯s expression froze instantly. He opened his mouth as if to exin. But he couldn¡¯t utter a single word for a long time. ¡°You couldn¡¯t have¡.never thought about that, could you?¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. He had thought yesterday that the old man had some unspeakable difficulties or other considerations. As it turns out, the old man was just simple-minded?? ¡°Cough cough¡. Zhou Li coughed dryly, pretending to be unperturbed, he poured water into the iron pot, getting ready to cook the spirit medicine. Seeing Chen Sheng still standing on the spot, looking at him with an amused expression. The old man red back. ¡°What are you looking at?!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to practice?!¡± Hearing these words, Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders. Immediately, He quickly entered into the Breathing Method state. Within a few jumps, he had smoothly reached the top of the waterfall. After securing the rope, This time, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t immediately jump to the rock where he had practiced yesterday. His attributes had improved by nearly halfpared to yesterday. He thought that he could attempt a position slightly lower down. After observing for a few minutes, Chen Sheng quickly aimed for a stone tform in the middle of the waterfall. The reason it was called the stone tform was that the surface of the stone was t, and the space was significantlyrger than the ce where Chen Sheng practiced yesterday. Without hesitation. Locking onto the target, Chen Sheng jumped down. p! He sessfullynded on the stone tform. The vast weight of the water suddenly covered him, causing Chen Sheng to stagger. Luckily enough, he adjusted his breathing in time to stabilize his form. Standing on the stone tform, The gravity apanied by the water flow and the icy cold were both much stronger than above. However, after only a few minutes of adjustment, Chen Sheng was already ustomed to it. He immediately took up his stance and began practicing the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. Time slips away. Noon came quickly. During this period, aside from going to the riverside to drink spirit medicine soup, Chen Sheng stayed in the waterfall. Luckily, The effects of the training were remarkable. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 14.1] [Agility: 14-9] [Constitution: 14.1] [Skill points: 15.1] [Eagle Body Breathing Technique Level 2: 179/20000] Strength and Constitution have each been increased by 1.5. Agility has been increased by 1.6. Even though the improvement wasn¡¯t as much as when he had first broken through with the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. But Chen Sheng had anticipated this. Only half of the day had passed. By tonight, or at thetest tomorrow morning, He would be able to further enhance the breathing technique, and with the help of spirit medicine, his strength would once again leap forward. At this moment, Zhou Li was cooking by the fire. Having just trained all morning, Chen Sheng also wanted to rx a bit before continuing his training in the afternoon. With nothing to do, he went to the riverside and dipped his hand into the river. The chilling cold immediately climbed up his arm. Even though Chen Sheng had prepared himself mentally, his body involuntarily shivered. ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± A deep breath. Chen Sheng¡¯s body quickly expanded. On the panel, all three attributes instantly increased by one-third, averaging to eighteen points. ¡°Exhale¡ª¡± Chen Sheng breathed out a long sigh. The chilling sensation that had filled his body didn¡¯t seem as unbearable anymore. He also dipped his feet into the water. Half an hourter. After Chen Sheng¡¯s repeated attempts, He sessfully calcted how long he could stay in the river with his current physical strength. Five minutes. That was the absolutely safe time limit. During this time, no matter what happened, Chen Sheng could quickly get back to shore. Going over that time limit might result in a decrease in his strength or heat loss, leading to slowed movement and various crises. Afterpleting the test. Chen Sheng squatted by the riverside, pondering. To tell the truth, He was somewhat curious about what happened in the Zhou Family Vige. What could have happened that caused the entire vige to drown without any resistance, with no water stains left behind? The more Chen Sheng thought about it, the more curious he became. In the end, he gritted his teeth slightly. He decided! Not to dive today! Wait until the Breathing Technique has broken through to the thirdyer first. Curiosity aside, Chen Sheng¡¯s life principle is never to fight an unprepared battle. When facing an enemy, never settle for an evenly matched fight if you can crush them instead. The same principle applied to dealing with situations. Five minutes was too short for Chen Sheng. At least wait until he couldpletely adapt to the cold and pressure of the riverbed before diving back in. With this thought in mind, Chen Sheng cleared his mind and returned to the fire to have lunch with Zhou Li. ¡°You whippersnapper, don¡¯t make any careless moves.¡± During lunch, Zhou Li warned Chen Sheng. He had also seen Chen Sheng¡¯s testing actions earlier. ¡°The people of the Zhou Family Vige are dead. After all these years, I¡¯vee to terms with it.¡± ¡°But if you were to die, I¡¯d be pping myself awake in the middle of the night.¡± Hearing this, Chen Shengughed. ¡°Old man, I didn¡¯t expect you, of all people, would actually feel guilty if I died?¡± ¡°Not really.¡± ¡°Mainly regretting meeting you, a damn troublemaker, fearing you¡¯d cost me merit and affect my reincarnation.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bet you¡¯re going to reincarnate into a cockroach in your next life.¡± ¡°You little rascal!¡± Amid the tumult, the two finished their lunch. Zhou Li went back to the wooden house for a nap. After a short rest, Chen Sheng once again returned to the waterfall, not willing to miss out on a moment of training time. As time went on, The sky was covered with ayer of dawn. The sun gradually sank beyond the horizon. Chen Sheng was still practicing in the waterfall, trying to upgrade his breathing technique sooner. ¡°Hmm?¡± Suddenly, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze became fixed. The enhanced vision brought by the Eagle Body Breathing Technique allowed him to clearly see the scene several hundred meters away. At this moment, he could clearly see that in the distant woods, where there should have been no signs of life, two shadows were moving swiftly among the trees, quickly approaching this way. Were they human? Or¡.. Taking advantage of the shadows¡¯ distance, Chen Sheng stopped his movements. Whoosh- He instantly leapt to the edge of the cliff andy down on the ground to observe the situation.. Chapter 85 - 84: Rabbit Fist and Malice Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Rabbit Fist and Malice Trantor: 549690339 Zhou Family Vige woods. Whoosh! Whoosh! Two figures, one ahead of the other, shuttle swiftly through the woods. It is not until they are about a hundred meters away from the riverside that the figure in front suddenly stops. He is dressed in ck, with a fairplexion and a pair of phoenix eyes. There is a faint circle of red around the corners of his eyes, like red eyeshadow, making him look extremely enchanting. However, his figure is burly and his lower limbs are unusually thick and strong, not like a woman. The man in ck listens intently. As the roar of the waterfall reaches his ears, a touch of joy shes across his face. is it here? At this moment, The figure behind himnds. He is also dressed in ck, but judging by his appearance, he is much more handsome than the phoenix-eyed man and looks no more than eighteen years old. As for his words, The phoenix-eyed man does not respond. Follow. He just utters a cold order and strides forward on his own. The young man behind him stands still with a crestfallen expression. However, he does not dare to ignore his Senior Brothers words. He can only choose to follow. Senior Brother, if there is really a Heavenly Person here, will it be too dangerous? Should we go back to Master.. As they walk, the young man speaks again with a worried look on his face. The young mans name is Xu Ying. The phoenix-eyed man, whom he calls Senior Brother, is named Chen Liang. Compared to their exceptional beauty, these names are not very remarkable. Yesterday, Senior Brother Chen Liang came to him, saying that he wanted to take him to search for the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure. Xu Ying was not interested in this kind of thing and did not want to take risks. But under Chen Liangs coercion, he had no choice but to follow. The two of them drove from Haizhou City to Quanjiang City, and eventually rushed all the way here. Shut up! p! Before Xu Ying could finish speaking, Chen Liang suddenly turns around and instantly grips his cheek in his palm. At this moment, Chen Liangs face is filled with resentment, and his originally delicate features are twisted with anger, making him look terrifying. Say it again, and who are you going to tell? The words are squeezed out from between his teeth one by one. The chilly tone sounds like an evil ghost from the depths of hell, making Xu Ying feel as if he has fallen into an ice cave. Are you addicted to being toyed with by that old thing? Im searching for the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure in order to kill that old thing and leave that disgusting ce. If you dare to tell him, Ill kill you first! Facing the mad Chen Liang, Senior Brother, I wont say anything, I wont say anything. Xu Ying trembles like a cicada, shaking his head like a rattle drum. As the words fall, Chen Liangs face immediately loses its resentment and anger. The hand gripping Xu Yings cheek slowly releases and gently caresses it. Deep affection wells up in his eyes. Good. Only your Senior Brother is truly good to you. Once I obtain the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure and my strength greatly increases, Ill kill that old thing and take you away Facing his sickly behavior, Xu Ying doesnt dare to speak again. He just lowers his head, his body unable to stop trembling. Lets go. Seeing this, a mocking glint shes in Chen Liangs eyes. He no longer wastes time and resumes walking toward the front with his hand withdrawn. Xu Ying follows closely behind. Both of them are disciples of the Rabbit Fist Sect in Haizhou City. The Rabbit Fist Sect Master, Xu Yang, has a unique taste with many handsome young men he has raised from a young age as his disciples. These disciples have been tormented since childhood, living a life worse than death. But due to Xu Yangs powerful martial arts and influence as the Rabbit Fist Sect Master, No one can break free from his control. Chen Liang is no exception. Having received Xu Yangs affection since he was young, his mind has long been twisted. It is only through his hatred for Xu Yang that he has managed to survive until now. This time, going out to search for the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure, he hopes to use it to kill Xu Yang andpletely break free from his control. At this moment, As they get closer and closer to the riverside, The deafening roar bes louder and louder. The temperature also continues to drop. Between their breaths, wisps of white mist emanate from their mouths and noses. Chen Liang takes a deep breath. Feeling the blood flowing spontaneously in his body, he looks ecstatic. Thats right. It must be here! His pace immediately quickens. Soon, He arrives at the end of the woods with Xu Ying. But once they reach this point, The two do not advance any further. Chen Liang looks at the fire on the riverside and the wooden house not far away with a faint light. His brows tightly furrow. Are there people? Did they happen toe here by chance? Or Complicated light flickers in his phoenix eyes. Soon, Chen Liang makes up his mind. He pats Xu Ying on the back. Go check out the wooden house. If you see someone, kill them directly. Huh? Upon hearing this, Xu Ying is frightened. But 1- Before he can finish speaking,bender Under Chen Liangs cold and menacing gaze. Xu Yings voice gradually weakened. Junior brother, dont let me say it a second time. Now that youre a Qi-sensor, youre no longer part of the ordinary world. There are some things youll have to do sooner orter, understand? He looked at Xu Ying with a smile. Though his tone was gentle, It was clear That he left Xu Ying with no room to refuse. With no other choice, Xu Ying could only nod his head. He nervously looked around. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he stepped forward and walked towards the wooden house. When they reached the wooden house, Xu Ying ced his hand on the door. Please let there be no one inside. Please. He closed his eyes and silently prayed in his heart. In the end, Xu Ying gently pushed open the room door. The scene inside immediately caught his eye. When he saw Zhou Li sleeping, his heart instantly tightened. Its over! In Xu Yings view, murder was a crime that he really didnt want tomit. At that moment, Chen Liang, not far away, sent a signal inquiring about the situation. Xu Ying was torn inside. He sneakily nced at Zhou Li in the house. Then he looked back at his senior brother. In the end, He made a hand gesture. No ones in the house. Ill investigate first. Then, Without waiting for Chen Liangs response, Xu Ying entered the house. He quietly approached Zhou Lis bed and covered his mouth with his hand. Sir. Sir. As Xu Ying softly called, Zhou Li opened his eyes groggily. At first, he thought it was Chen Sheng ying a prank on him. He was ready to scold him, But when he saw Xu Ying beside the bed, his eyes widened instantly. He tried to cry out, But his mouth was already covered, leaving only muffled sounds. Hush- Seeing that Zhou Li seemed intent on struggling, Xu Ying quickly put his fingers to his lips, motioning for him to be quiet. Who the hell cares about you?! Zhou Li just wanted to quickly make a noise and have Chen Shenge and kill the intruder. Sir, please dont make a sound. I dont have any ill intentions. But I have anotherpanion who is ruthless and powerful. We cant let him see you. As he spoke, Xu Ying kept one hand over Zhou Lis mouth, And used the other hand to pick him up and gently ce him under the bed. Sir, Im not lying to you. Mypanion will be here soon, and you mustnt make a sound. Xu Ying said anxiously. But Zhou Li didnt believe him! All he believed in was Chen Sheng, that Chen Sheng could kill the boy in front of him. But at this moment, Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Xu Yings face changed. Theres no time left! He hurriedly tried to stuff Zhou Li under the bed. But as soon as he let go of his hand. Chen Sheng!!!!!!!!! Im going to Perhaps it was fear working on him, Zhou Lis voice was particrly loud, instantly piercing through the wooden house and echoing in the entire valley. Screech- At the same time The wooden door was pushed open. Chen Liang frowned and looked at Xu Ying with a dark expression. Youre good for nothing but trouble. He snarled. At the same time, Chen Liang marched towards the yelling Zhou Li without stopping. Whoosh! Xu Ying immediately stood up, spreading his arms to block Chen Liangs way. He looked pleadingly at Chen Liang. Senior brother, I beg you. Hes just an old man, theres no need to Before he could finish, Chen Liang raised his hand and swung! His arm turned into a whip-like shadow, striking towards Xu Ying. Facing Chen Liang, Xu Ying had no strength to fight back. Smack! Xu Ying was flung sideways, crashing into the wooden wall, creating a dent. This sudden turn of events left Zhou Li dumbfounded, and he instinctively stopped calling for help. Why were these two thieves fighting each other? After sending Xu Ying flying, Chen Liangs expression remained unchanged, Thinking that the old mans shouting meant he had apanion nearby. He crouched down and grabbed Zhou Lis cor, ready to lift him up. But at that moment, Another voice rang out at the door. If I were you, Its deadly.. Chapter 86 - 85: Explosive Killing and Ultimate Fear Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Explosive Killing and Ultimate Fear Trantor: 549690339 [Chen Liang] [Strength: 13-5] [Agility: 13.6] [Constitution: 13.2] [Skills: Rabbit Breath IV2] Chen Sheng saw Chen Liang at first sight. The other partys attribute panel immediately emerged before his eyes. In terms of attributes, Chen Liang was on par with Wu Ran of Xingwu Gym. Moreover, his agility had far surpassed Wu Rans. He could be said to be the strongest person Chen Sheng has ever encountered. As for the other one Chen Sheng looked at Xu Ying leaning against the wall. [Xu Ying] [Strength: 8.3] [Agility: 8.6] [Constitution: 7-9] [Skills: Rabbit Breath IVI] Weakling. Directly ignored. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 15.1] [Agility: 15-9] [Constitution: 15.1] [Skill Points: 18.1] These are Chen Shengs attributes now. After a whole afternoon of training, all of his attributes rose by one point, breaking through the significant level of 15. If it were two days ago when he encountered Chen Liang. Chen Sheng might have had to go through a tough battle, or even chose to flee. But now, The opponent didnt stand a chance. At this moment. Hearing Chen Shengs words, Chen Liangs actions came to an abrupt halt. A deep ill-intent rose from his body, causing Zhou Li and Xu Ying standing next to him to break out in a cold sweat, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast. His body didnt move, but his head twisted around 180 degrees, his reddish pupils staring at Chen Sheng. What did you say? A terrifying aura, like that of an evil beast, rushed over. If an ordinary person were to face this scene, they might have been scared shitless. Fortunately, Chen Sheng was not an ordinary person. Is there something wrong with your ears? He looked puzzled. He repeated what he had said in a clear and concise manner. Dont touch that old man. Or Ill kill you. Did you hear me clearly this time? Whoosh! Hearing this. Chen Liang had no reaction yet. But Xu Yings face suddenly turned pale. The old and young duo were really ignorant of their own abilities. They had no idea what kind of monster stood in front of them. Chen Liang had a twisted personality, ruthless and vicious in his actions. But his strength was even more terrifying. Before the tide rising period, Chen Liang had already been the second-inmand of the Rabbit Fist Sect, just below the sect leader. Even in Haizhou City, the capital of Fuhai Province, his senior brother was considered one of the top young masters. No one knew how many of his peers had been crippled by him during his visits to challenge martial artists. Even some older generation martial artists were not his match at all. Now that the tide rising period hade, Chen Liang had awakened as a Qi-sensor. Just how terrifying his true strength was, no one knew. Most people within the sect believed that Chen Liangs victory in the martial arts conference was almost a done deal. So, Upon hearing Chen Sheng daring to threaten Chen Liang, Xu Yings heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Chen Liang hated threats the most. If, initially, Zhou Li and Chen Sheng still had a slight chance of survival after his pleading, Now, Chen Liang would definitely not let the two go. Not only that, He himself would also lose his life for trying to protect Zhou Li just now. However Xu Ying didnt regret it. Even though he had suffered hardships since childhood, the kindness in his heart hadnt been worn out. Not being able to do something was a matter of ability. But whether or not to do it was his own choice. If he was certain to die, It was better to save as many as he could! With this thought, Xu Yings face hardened. Taking advantage of Chen Liang not speaking yet, His leg muscles swelled up suddenly. Whoosh! His figure shot into the air. Xu Ying instantly leapt above Chen Liangs head, and clung to him with his limbs, tightly restraining him. He yelled at Chen Sheng, Youre not his match, run away!!! I wont be able to hold on for long, hurry up and run! However, To Xu Yings despair, As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Liangs malicious voice rang in his ears. Disgusting thing. No one is getting away today. No sooner had his words fell, Chen Liang grabbed Xu Yings legs with a sullen face. A cold sensation came from his legs, making him shiver involuntarily. The next second, Cracking sounds followed one after another. As his limbs were broken one by one, Xu Ying couldnt bear it any longer and let out a scream. His body instantly went limp. He was lifted like a rag doll by Chen Liang, who forcefully swung him! Boom! This time, The wooden wall was smashed open, creating arge hole. Xu Yings body flew out of the wooden house, falling onto an empty ground nearby. Coughcough! He continued to cough up fresh blood. But Xu Ying hadnt yet passed out. He struggled to lift his head, wanting to persuade Chen Sheng to flee once again. However, From his perspective, he couldnt see the whole picture in the room. He could only see the ferocious smile on Chen Liangs face. Whether its you or this old man, youre both dead. But dont worry. Before you die, I will take good care of you. Chen Liangs scarlet eyes scanned Chen Shengs tall and sturdy body up and down. Chen Liang ignored Zhou Li, slowly got up, and walked toward the other man. As soon as he walked away, Zhou Li immediately shrank to the corner and covered himself with a nket to avoid being sshed by blood. Its over!bender Seeing this scene, Xu Ying wailed in his heart. He could already guess the fate of Chen Sheng, the other man, and himself. In desperation, Xu Ying chose to close his eyes, waiting for fate toe. The next second. Bang! A dull thud sounded from inside the room. Crack! Immediately after, the sound of bones breaking could be heard. Xu Yings body subconsciously shuddered. In his mind, he could already see the miserable state of the young man standing at the door under Chen Liangs torture. The next second, a scream came from inside the room. Ah! Hmm? Why does this voice sound eerily familiar? Hearing the scream, Xu Ying opened his eyes, and his face showed a hint of astonishment. It feels likeit sounded like Senior Brothers voice? Im a little uncertain, let me listen again. Xu Ying tried to get closer to check the situation inside the wooden house. But with all his limbs broken, any recovery would be impossible. Bang! Bang! Bang! Just listening to the continuous sounds of thuds and groans from inside the room, it was difficult to discern the actual situation. Could it be that both were evenly matched? Or was it Senior Brother unterally torturing the other? Xu Ying was more inclined to thetter. After all, How could a strong person like his Senior Brother be so easily encountered? Just as he was thinking this, A sudden roar exploded from inside the room. This time, Xu Ying heard it clearly. It was his Senior Brothers voice. He instantly widened his eyes. Could it be that young man was actually on par with his Senior Brother?! Before he could figure it out, Inhale Bang! Youre asking for death- Bang! Get lost- Bang! Wait a minute- Bang! This time, Xu Ying heard it clearly. The continuous roars of anger that came from inside the room, yet were constantly interrupted, It was his own Senior Brother! How is this possible?! At this moment, Xu Yings mind waspletely frozen. He even ignored the severe pain caused by the broken limbs, kept crawling forward, trying to verify his own guess with his own eyes. However, Xu Ying had just crawled to the edge of therge hole in the wooden wall. Bang! A body, like a rag, was heavily thrown in front of him. Nono! His skull was caved in, his body covered in fresh blood. Teeth had fallen out, the bridge of his nose was sunken, and his limbs were twisted like dough twists. It looked so unfamiliar. Even so, Chen Liang still tried to wriggle his body, attempting to get away from the wooden house. As if there was a terrifying monster inside. JuniorJunior Brother! Pleasesave me! Chen Liang stretched out his blood-covered and twisted arm, trembling as he reached out to Xu Ying. His voice even had a hint of a sob. Xu Ying waspletely dumbfounded. His eyes widened, his mouth opened to the limit, making continuous clicks. The next second. p! At the entrance of the wooden house, a muscr arm suddenly stretched out. That palm, like cast steel and shining with a metallic sheen, firmly gripped Chen Liangs ankle. At this moment, The fear in Chen Liangs eyes reached its peak. No, no! Junior Brother, save- I With a whoosh, Before he could finish speaking, Chen Liang was directly pulled back into the room. Xu Ying stared at the bloody drag marks on the ground. It was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, sending chills throughout his body. What exactlyhad they encountered? Bang! Bang! Bang! Several more sounds rang out. Then, the room fellpletely silent. Step. A bloodstained footnded in front of Xu Ying, who was dumbstruck. Young man, The voice came from above his head. Xu Ying mechanically lifted his head little by little. What appeared in his line of sight was Chen Shengs gentle smile. Can you tell me, what were you doing here? Chapter 87 - 86: Inquiring about Heavenly Person Secret Treasure Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Inquiring about Heavenly Person Secret Treasure Trantor: 549690339 Even though Chen Sheng tried to squeeze out a friendly smile. But with his blood-stained body and the strong murderous aura surrounding him. It didn¡¯t give Xu Ying a very pleasant impression. Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s inquiry. Perhaps it was excessive panic. Or maybe it was because of physical weakness. All they saw was Xu Ying opening his mouth continuously, but not making a sound for a long time. In the end, Thump! His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot. Huh? Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. This guy is too weak to be scared. Helplessly, Chen Sheng could only pick up Xu Ying and drag him back to the room, cing him next to the half-dead Chen Liang. ¡°Kid, it¡¯s rare to see you show mercy.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t kill these two outright.¡± Behind Chen Sheng, Zhou Li picked up the blood-stained quilt with disgust and threw it aside. He had seen firsthand how Chen Sheng dealt with enemies. To put it simply in two sentences. Blood and brain matter sttered everywhere. The dead bodies were thrown into rivers. Therefore, Zhou Li found it strange that Chen Sheng didn¡¯t kill the two of them. ¡°Can¡¯t I show mercy?¡± Chen Sheng gave him a nce. ¡°In the past, people used to say I was a living Bodhisattva.¡± ¡°Ah, yes, yes, yes.¡± Zhou Li nodded perfunctorily. The next second, He saw, Chen Sheng picked up the iron chain originally used to lock the door and tied it around Chen Liang¡¯s neck. In the sound of colliding iron, Chen Sheng gradually tightened the iron chain, observing Chen Liang¡¯s reaction while doing so. Not until the unconscious Chen Liang¡¯s body unconsciously convulsed due to the intense suffocation, and his eyes repeatedly rolled back, did Chen Sheng stop his action. After estimating the length of the iron chain, he nodded in satisfaction. Then, He pulled the iron chain and dragged Chen Liang out. As he reached the doorway, He saw Zhou Li looking at him nkly. ¡°Ahem.¡± Chen Sheng coughed twice and straightened his face. ¡°I was nning to go to the bottom of the river these two days.¡± ¡°It seems quite dangerous.¡± ¡°Now that this guy is here, let¡¯s have him go and explore for me.¡± After giving apletely useless exnation, Chen Sheng pulled the iron chain and walked out again. Looking at the struggling Chen Liang, his face swelling into a liver-like color because of the iron chain embedded in his flesh, Zhou Li¡¯s eyelids twitched. He felt a torrent of emotions rising in his heart, the desire toin overflowing, but he didn¡¯t know where to begin. Shit! This kid has the nerve to call himself a living Bodhisattva. Isn¡¯t he just the living King of Hell?! Unaware of Zhou Li¡¯s inner turmoil, Chen Sheng came to the riverside, tied Chen Liang to a stone, and returned to the room to clean up the mess. The broken wooden hole needed repairing. The floor and bedding needed to be wiped, Chen Sheng mopped the floor, thinking that in the future, murders must be carried out outside. Otherwise, the cleaning job would be too much trouble. As for Zhou Li, He helped to change the bedding and then went to the fire to prepare dinner. ft?venty minutester. The aroma of instant noodles gradually spread along the riverside. Inside the house, The frightened Xu Yingy on the ground. His nostrils twitched under the stimtion of the aroma, and his consciousness gradually awakened. Xu Ying¡¯s eyebrows deeply furrowed. He had just¡ seemed to have had a nightmare? He dreamt that his senior brother was beaten to death by someone. And the devil who killed his senior brother showed him a bloodthirsty smile. Thank goodness. It was just a dream. In the real world, such terrible things would never happen. Thinking so. Xu Ying slowly opened his eyes. However , Chen Sheng, holding a mop, appeared in his line of sight. There was still a smile on his face. ¡°Little brother, are you awake?¡± ¡°Are you hungry?¡± With the gentlest tone, he was like a bucket of ice-cold water pouring over Xu Ying, instantly awakening his consciousness. Bang! Ignoring the pain of his broken limbs, Xu Ying sprang up from the ground, his back tightly against the wall, looking at Chen Sheng with a horrified expression. Shit! It wasn¡¯t a dream! Seeing the young man cowering in the corner like a frightened rabbit, Question marks appeared above Chen Sheng¡¯s head. Was he really that terrifying? ¡°I am¡ªI¡® Thump thump thump! ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry!¡± ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have trespassed into a private property, or disturbed the old people¡¯s rest, or¡ ¡® Xu Ying quickly knelt and kowtowed to the ground, his head hitting the floor with a resounding thud. he pressed so hard that within just a few seconds, his forehead was covered in fresh blood. And the floor beneath him was slightly cracked. This scene stunned Chen Sheng. He wanted to say something else. But at that moment, Zhou Li¡¯s call came from outside the house. ¡°You little rabbit!¡± ¡°Come out and eat!¡± Hearing the voice. Chen Sheng nced at Xu Ying, who was continuously kowtowing and muttering. It seemed thatmunication was still impossible for now. Fortunately, he was hungry, and the room was almost cleaned up. ¡°If you¡¯re hungry,e out and eat something.¡± Leaving that sentence behind, Chen Sheng carried the mop and bucket out of the room. Not until his figure disappeared outside the door. Did Xu Ying slowly stop kowtowing. He raised his head, confirming that no one was inside the room, then copsed against the corner. In a short while. A subtle sobbing sound echoed inside the room. 20 minutester. After having his fill, Zhou Li sat in a chair, staring absent-mindedly towards Zhou Family Vige above the waterfall, not knowing what he was thinking about. Chen Sheng, who was beside him, scooped up thest of the noodles from the pot. ¡°Do you want to go up and take a look?¡± He looked at Zhou Li¡¯s behavior and asked casually. ¡°I¡¯d be annoyed if I looked at it. It¡¯s better not to see.¡± Zhou Li withdrew his gaze. ¡°When are you nning to let this guy go down the river?¡± He looked at Chen Liang lying by the riverside, as if he was a corpse. ¡°Tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°He¡¯s pretty strong, so he should be mostly recovered by tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll y tricks again? ¡°Then kill him.¡± ¡°But what if he obeys?¡± ¡°Then wait until we¡¯ve finished exploring the bottom of the river before killing him.¡± During their casual conversation, Chen Liang¡¯s fate had already been decided. That being said, The two of them seemed to notice something at the same time. They both turned their heads to look in the direction of the wooden house. There, a staggering figure was slowly walking towards them. It was Xu Ying. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were slightly swollen. ¡°Can I¡eat something?¡± After calming down, Xu Ying figured it out. If the other party really wanted to kill him, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to escape with his strength. It was better to see what Chen Sheng was up to and maybe there would be a chance to survive. Previously, Xu Ying tried to save Chen Sheng and the other person¡¯s life because he had a conscience and didn¡¯t want to kill the innocent. But that doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯s not afraid of death. At this moment, Hearing Xu Ying¡¯s words, Chen Sheng and Zhou Li looked at each other and simultaneously revealed smiles. ¡°Sit.¡± Chen Sheng patted the ground beside him. Xu Ying didn¡¯t hesitate and sat down directly. He took the bowls and chopsticks that Chen Sheng handed him, and without caring that the other party had just eaten with them, he began to eat the noodles inrge mouthfuls. After enduring a series of shocks and suffering significant physical injuries, He was already starving. Xu Ying ate quickly. In just two minutes, the bowl of noodles waspletely eaten. He looked at the empty iron pot, somewhat unsatisfied but too embarrassed to ask for more. However, Zhou Li seemed to see what he was thinking. The old man chuckled and poured more water into the pot, preparing to cook some more. ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± Xu Ying repeatedly thanked Zhou Li. Before, Chen Sheng was too busy beating people and didn¡¯t carefully observe Chen Liang and Xu Ying. It was only now that he noticed. Xu Ying had very delicate features. Even though he was a man, he looked even better looking than a woman. But he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. During the waiting period, Chen Sheng asked again. ¡°Can you tell me about the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure now?¡± This time, Xu Ying did not hesitate. He pondered for a moment and then spoke directly. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure.¡± ¡°Most of what I knowes from my senior brother¡ that would be him.¡± Xu Ying pointed at Chen Liang, who looked like a corpse not far away. ¡°My senior brother once said that there are many strange and wondrous things in the world, either a slumberingnd or a sealednd of the Heavenly Person.¡± ¡°However, these ces are either tourist attractions or guarded by someone.¡± ¡°ces like Zhou Family Vige, which are remote and seem to have been deliberately suppressed back then, are rare.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng looked thoughtfully at Zhou Li. The other party¡¯s expression remained unchanged, seemingly unsurprised by Xu Ying¡¯s words. He was previously puzzled, Logically speaking, with such a significant incident urring in Zhou Family Vige, the official attention should have been drawn. However, There seemed to be no sign of that here, as if it had beenpletely forgotten. There must be another reason behind it. ¡°My senior brother somehow learned about Zhou Family Vige and guessed that it might be a Heavenly Person¡¯s slumbering or sealednd.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a slumberingnd, there will inevitably be arge number of spirit medicines here.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s a sealednd, there might be some unexpected gains.¡± Slumbering? ¡°Is your senior brother very knowledgeable about Heavenly Person?¡± Chen Sheng asked, stroking his chin. Xu Ying slowly nodded. ¡°My senior brother knows some strange people and has heard a lot of information about Qi-sensors and Heavenly Person from them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all I know.¡± ¡°As for the rest, only my senior brother knows.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded and didn¡¯t ask further. No matter whether what he said was true or false, Anyway, wait until tomorrow and let Chen Liang go down to the bottom of the river for him to find out. As for the so-called Heavenly Person Secret Treasure, He was quite curious about it.. Chapter 88 - 87: Upgrade and Achieving Perfection in Breathing Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Upgrade and Achieving Perfection in Breathing Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Monday the 20th. There are two days left before the Martial Arts Conference begins on the morning of the 22nd. 10 a.m. Not far from the bottom of the waterfall. Chen Sheng stood on a stone only big enough for his feet, enduring the torrent of water from the waterfall. At this height. Chen Sheng felt as if he were standing still with a heavy boulder pressing down on his head, while bouts of ice-cold prated his bones, numbing every nerve. Fortunately. He was notpletely unprepared. Having just drunk two bowls of Spirit Medicine Soup, heat emanated from his abdomen,bating the invading cold. And¡ [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 16.3] [Agility: 17.2] [Constitution: 16.2] [Skill Points: 21.7] [Eagle Body Breathing Technique LV2: 270/20000] After trainingst night and this morning. Strength increased by 1.2 Agility increased by 1.3 Constitution increased by 1.1 His Skill Points had finally reached the point where he could promote his Breathing Technique to Level 3. The first stage of the Breathing Technique had the effect of improving the body¡¯s attributes, and when entering the breathing method state, it could increase all body attributes by one third. In the second stage, the attributes increased during the breathing method remained unchanged, but the increased attributes during the upgrade, as well as the strengthening of Chen Sheng¡¯s hands and eyes, were significantly improved. Chen Sheng was eager to see what effects the third part of the Breathing Technique would bring. With that in mind. He did not dy any longer and focused his attention on the Breathing Technique. Upgrade! The text began to blur. The number of Skill Points decreased rapidly. [Skill Points: 1.9] A secondter. Boom!! ¡°Ugh ¡ª The instant the upgrade wasplete. Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes widened. Unimaginable pain swept through his body in an instant. His breathing became erratic, and his body could no longer support itself. With a ssh. Chen Sheng copsed to his knees. His eyes bulged red. Apanied by the crackling sounds of his bones from within his body. ¡°Ugh Chen Sheng¡¯s mouth emitted a roar like a wild beast. At the same time, His figure grew taller and taller. Two meters. Two meters one. Two meters two. In the blink of an eye, Chen Sheng had gone from an already exaggerated one point nine meters to two meters three. He was like a small giant. But his body¡¯s transformation was far from over. Although his frame had grown taller, Chen Sheng¡¯s muscles did not continue to swell. On the contrary, As he knelt on the ground, his muscles seemed to tremble and contract continuously, gradually turning into streamlined muscles like those of a cheetah. ¡°Click¡ªclick!¡± Chen Sheng watched as his ten fingers went from thick to slender and now even appeared somewhat emaciated. The surface of his palm turned pitch ck, as if covered by ayer of mysterious ck metal. Crack! The stone beneath Chen Sheng gouged out two fist-sized holes. He held the stone in his palm, And gently pinched it. It crumbled like tofu in an instant. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t even use force to aplish all of this; it was just a casual action. About three or four minutes. When the pain in his body subsided slightly, Chen Sheng immediately stood up. He could already feel the difference, even without looking at the attribute panel. The torrent of water that had previously immobilized him, Now had a significantly lighter impact on him. And even now, his body¡¯s transformation was not yetplete. Chen Sheng had thought long before the upgrade that the Perfect level Eagle Body Breathing Method might bring about significant changes. To be on the safe side, he had drunk two bowls of Spirit Medicine Soup. So much energy would have been wasted on an ordinary day, But now, It was just what he needed. Thinking this, Chen Sheng did not dy any longer and immediately began practicing under the waterfall. Half an hour. One hour. Time sluggishly flowed forward. Chen Sheng gradually sensed that strength was being generated within his body. The speed of his practice was getting faster and faster. His ink-ck hand shed through the air, creating shrieks with each pass. The shrieks echoed throughout the valleyu Not far away, by the riverside, Xu Ying, who was watching Chen Liang, subconsciously covered his ears, and his face showed a painful expression. The sound was like someone drilling full force into his skull with a power tool. Chen Liang, who had already woken up, was in so much pain that his facial features were twisted. His hands and feet had long been bound, and he could only endure the pain. Moreover, due to therge range of movements, the chain around his neck kept tightening, causing his pain to double. He couldn¡¯t bear it any longer, and let out a scream. ¡°Shut up.¡± But at this moment, A faint warning came from Chen Sheng on the other side of the river. Upon hearing this sound, Chen Liang immediately shut his mouth, even though the intense pain made his forehead bulge with green tendons, he did not dare to make a sound. As early asst night, Chen Liang had already woken up from unconsciousness. Upon waking up, his first thought was to break free from the iron chains and escape from here. But Chen Sheng¡¯s senses were too sharp. Chen Liang was detected as soon as he made any movement. All night long, Chen Sheng used his phone to search for top torture methods and instructed Xu Ying to apply them one by one on Chen Liang¡¯s body. Until now, Chen Liang¡¯s fear of Chen Sheng had long prated his bones. Just by hearing the other party¡¯s voice, his body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Fortunately, This sharp howling sound didn¡¯tst long, and it gradually weakened. Everyone by the riverside collectively sighed in relief. Another hour passed. Ssh¨C At this moment, There was a sound from the not too distant waterfall. Xu Ying looked in the direction of the sound. The next second, He saw a dark figure stretching out its arms and leaping towards the riverside in midair. Boom! The figurended with a loud thud, stomping a round pit on the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust. Under Xu Ying¡¯s puzzled gaze, The smoke slowly dispersed, revealing Chen Sheng¡¯s tall figure. At first nce, Xu Ying¡¯s pupils contracted, and he immediately jumped up from the ground, nervously assuming a defensive posture. Chen Sheng turned his head. At the moment when his gaze met Xu Ying¡¯s, Startled! Xu Ying¡¯s breathing halted, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. I¡¯m going to die! At this moment, His heart seemed to stop beating. A strong sense of impending death kept assaulting his eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± At this moment, A familiar voice came. Xu Ying subconsciously hesitated. After carefully identifying for two seconds, he finally realized that the giant figure in front of him was actually Chen Sheng. An imposing height of over two meters and three, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Under the streamlined muscle lines, it seemed to hide endless strength. Both the pitch-ck and inky palms shimmered with a metallic luster, just staring at them was enough to make people feel their scalp tingling. If it weren¡¯t for the facial features, Xu Ying wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize that it was Chen Sheng at all. Could it be¡ that he has broken through? As soon as he considered this possibility, Xu Ying couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill in his heart. Before the breakthrough, Chen Sheng¡¯s strength was already terrifying enough to easily cripple his senior brother. After the breakthrough, how strong would he be? Xu Ying didn¡¯t even dare to imagine. He immediately lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Chen Sheng. As for Chen Liang beside him, He had already closed his eyes, not daring to move, afraid of attracting Chen Sheng¡¯s attention. ¡°Keep an eye on him.¡± Chen Sheng was not aware of Xu Ying¡¯s inner thoughts. After tossing down a sentence, he walked towards the wooden house. He was somewhat worried about whether Zhou Li could withstand the sharp screams from his training earlier. Although it didn¡¯tst long, But Zhou Li, the old man, was weak in body and bones. It would be ridiculous if he didn¡¯t die from illness but was killed by the noise. Therefore, After finishing his training, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t even have time to check the panel and quickly returned to the riverside to check on Zhou Li¡¯s condition. With a creak, The wooden door was opened. Chen Sheng scanned the room and his eyes finally fell on the bed. There, Zhou Li was sleeping soundly with earplugs. Seeing this, Chen Sheng finally felt at ease. He didn¡¯t disturb the other party but quietly closed the door. He returned to the fire and began to boil water. During this waiting time, Chen Sheng finally summoned the panel to check his current upgrades. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 19.8] [Agility: 21.8] [Constitution: 19-7] [Skill Points: 11.6] [Eagle Body State] The upgrade was unprecedentedly huge.. Chapter 89 - 88: Exploring and Strong Strength Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Exploring and Strong Strength Trantor: 549690339 This time upgrading the breathing technique had brought Chen Sheng a strength increase equivalent to the total of his previous two upgrades. Strength and Constitution both increased by 3-5 The greatest increase was Agility, a full increase of 4.6 But this wasnt the most crucial part. Chen Sheng looked at the skill column. The Eagle Body Breathing Technique had disappeared. In its ce, a brand new skill emerged. Eagle Body State. This was the ultimate state of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. It was also a brand new skill that could grant Chen Sheng a tremendous power boost. When Chen Sheng activated his Eagle Body State, His body would instantly grow taller, bing the 2.3 -meter-tall giant he had been before, with streamlined muscles and ck palms. Meanwhile, In Eagle Body State, all his attributes would increase by half. That is to say, With Chen Shengs current basic attributes, When he activated Eagle Body State, All three attributes would reach around 30. Just a few days ago, these numbers were almost unthinkable for Chen Sheng. So much so that at present, He had no idea just how powerful he had be. And yet, This was not what excited Chen Sheng the most. On the surface, Eagle Body State seemed to be just a strengthened version of the breathing method state. In reality, there was a significant difference. The Eagle Body Breathing Technique in its first twoyers also had a breathing method state that could enhance Chen Shengs body attributes, simr to the Eagle Body State, but the effect was weaker. However, the breathing method state was more like using a particr breathing frequency and muscle movement to tap into Chen Shengs hidden potential. This state consumed an enormous amount of physical strength. Even with the stamina recovery provided by the attribute panel during his training, Chen Sheng could only maintain it for at most two hours before needing to rest for a while. Inbat, it might be even shorter. Of course, Chen Sheng had never tested how short exactly, Because he had never encountered an opponent who could withstand his breathing method state for even a minute. As for Eagle Body State, It transformed Chen Shengs hidden potential into genuine strength. That is to say, Chen Shengs current visible attributes were just his ordinary state. Most of the power within his body was dormant. By activating Eagle Body State, his full strength would be awakened. This was the most apparent difference between the breathing method state and Eagle Body State. One was potential, And the other was strength. As for Chen Shengs potential [Breaking Limits (Your body, through training, can be infinitely enhanced, and the training effect will not decline)] It could be said to be endless! If he could cultivate another breathing technique now, He could activate it again under Eagle Body State. With attributes around 30, And then a full increase of one-third, How terrifying a state would that be? And if he were to constantly collect and perfect his breathing techniques in the future, How strong could he be? Just thinking about it, Chen Shengs breathing became somewhatbored. As for where to obtain the breathing techniques At this thought, Chen Shengs gaze fell on Xu Ying and hispanion not far away. Wasnt there a ready-made solution right here? At this moment, Not far away, Xu Ying was diligently fulfilling his duty, staring unblinkingly at Chen Liang, fearing any foul y from his senior brother. Chen Liang, on the other hand, returned Xu Yings gaze with equally resentful He didnt dare to speak, afraid of attracting Chen Shengs attention. But in his heart, he was constantly plotting how to escape from here and then, how to torment these three to death. Hey. At this time, Chen Shengs faint voice reached them. Whoosh! Chen Liang immediately closed his resentful eyes. Xu Ying quickly turned around, looking nervously at Chen Sheng. WhaWhat do you need, sir? What kind of shitty title is that? Which dynasty are you from? Hearing the other partys address, Chen Sheng frowned. My name is Zhou Li, just call me Brother Zhou. Alright, Brother Zhou. Xu Yings addressing became very smooth. Chen Sheng then nodded approvingly. It was a good thing that the real Brother Zhou wasnt here, or he would surely be jumping up and pointing at Chen Shengs nose and cursing. Go to the room, find that old man, get some paper and pen, and write down your sects breathing technique. Chen Sheng wasnt afraid of Xu Ying writing nonsense. Because as long as he practiced a little, he would know if it was genuine or not. If the other party dared to fool around, hed just beat them to death. Yes! Xu Ying immediately puffed up his chest, shouting his reply. Afterwards, He didnt hesitate for a moment and trotted toward the wooden house. As Chen Shengs strength broke through, Just being near him made Xu Ying feel so nervous that he didnt dare to breathe heavily. Being further away was something he longed for. Ac Xu Ying had no sense of belonging to the Rabbit Fist Sect, so naturally, he didnt care about such things. After Xu Ying left, Chen Sheng looked at Chen Liang lying nearby. Even with his eyes closed, Chen Liang seemed to feel the pressure from Chen Shengs gaze. As if recalling the tortures he had experienced, his body trembled imperceptibly. Step. Step. Even with darkness before his eyes, Chen Liang could hear the footsteps gradually approaching his ears. Making his body tremble even more violently. Get up. Ill take you to take a bath. It wasnt until the voice sounded beside him, That Chen Liang suddenly shuddered. He no longer dared to feign death. Chen Liang opened his eyes and hid the resentment in the depths of his gaze. The sound of iron chains shing rang out. He stood up slowly with his head down, not daring to meet Chen Shengs gaze. Lets go. Chen Sheng was expressionless. He didnt care about Chen Liangs inner thoughts at all. With a tug of the iron chain, Chen Liang immediately stumbled and followed behind him. They arrived at the riverside. Chen Sheng pointed to the river water. Jump in. Once you find the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure, your task is over. Hearing this, Chen Liang looked at the river water, a trace of fear shing in his eyes. He had experienced firsthand the icy chill of the river water when he had been tortured the previous night. Even with his strength, he probably wouldntst more than five minutes in the water. If he exceeded that time, he could die. But if he didnt jump Chen Liang nced at Chen Shengs back. He knew hed die right now. At this thought, Inhale Chen Liang took a deep breath. Instantly, his figure grew taller, and his leg muscles suddenly became extremely thick. Then, He didnt dare to hesitate any longer. He directly leaped forward. Ssh! Water sshed all around as he dived in. Once he was in the river water, Chen Liang immediately felt the icy chill enveloping his body, invading deep inside him. Fortunately, in his Breathing Method state, the blood and Qi inside his body circted rapidly, constantly fighting against the chill. Chen Liang quickly adapted. And He touched the chain around his neck, his eyes filled with a strange look. Because of the buoyancy, the chain seemed to be somewhat loose. Perhaps, he might be able to find an opportunity to break the chain and escape from here. With that thought in mind, Chen Liang in the water revealed a hint of ferocity in his eyes. He immediately pretended to search, preparing to swim towards the downstream position. But at that moment, Chen Sheng on the shore slightly pulled on the chain. Mmph! The chain suddenly tightened, causing Chen Liangs eyes to bulge out, almost making him unable to maintain the Breathing Method state. I didnt tell you to start from there.bender Chen Shengs emotionless voice passed through the river water and entered Chen Liangs ears. Damn bastard! Sooner orter, Ill make you wish you were dead! Chen Liangs face contorted in anger. But in the end, his life was the most important thing. He immediately stopped thinking about it, swam towards the direction of the waterfall, and began to search for anything unusual at the bottom of the river. Chen Sheng stood on the shore, watching Chen Liangs every move. The river was not deep, and the water was very clear. No matter what Chen Liang did, Chen Sheng could see it all clearly with his eyes. He ordered Chen Liang to go underwater mainly to find out if there were any risks. As for breaking free from the chain? Chen Sheng was confident that he could instantly rip Chen Liangs head from his neck with the chain the moment he tried to escape. Time slowly passed. Every five minutes, Chen Sheng would pull Chen Liang up from the bottom of the river for a short rest before submerging him again. Just like that, half an hour passed. Xu Ying came out of the wooden house and handed the copy of Rabbits Breath to Chen Sheng. Big Brother Zhou. Hmm. Chen Sheng took the paper and put it in his pocket, nning to read itter at night. Zhou Li was also wearing a thick cotton jacket, standing by the fire and cooking. Kid, have you found any clues? Having nothing better to do, Zhou Li sat down next to Chen Sheng, rubbing his hands and asking. The temperature was especially low today. He had been outside for less than two minutes, and his wrinkled old face was already red from the cold. Whats the rush, are you short on time? Chen Sheng nced at him. If you know its cold, just stay inside. Isnt it enough for you to have that kid cook for you? Bah! You smelly kid, your mouth cant say a kind word. Even though he was shivering from the cold, Zhou Lis mouth was still sharp. Im bored staying in the room, cant Ie out and breathe some fresh air? Chen Sheng didnt respond. Seeing that another five minutes were almost up, he grabbed the chain and pulled it gently. Whoosh Chen Liang, his face contorted with pain, was pulled out of the water and sshed onto the riverside with a thud. Cough, cough! Looking pale, Chen Liangnded on the ground and couldnt help but cough. With his back to Chen Sheng, his face was twisted with rage. That damn bastard! He didnt need help to swim back; why did he have to be pulled back like this to cause him more pain from suffocation! He constantly imagined torturing Chen Sheng in his mind. Only then did he feel slightly better. But Chen Sheng didnt care. As soon as Chen Liang had somewhat recovered, he ordered him back into the water. It was only half an hourter. Kid,e eat! Zhou Li shouted from beside the fire. Iming. With that said, Chen Sheng was about to pull up the chain. Suddenly, Hmm? His gaze focused. It seemed like he noticed something At the bottom of the river, Chen Liang aimlessly searched. At this moment, he had searched all the way from the waterfall to the downstream position. However, he hadnt found anything out of the ordinary. There were no fish in this river water, maybe not even microorganisms. Aside from stones, there was only dirt. Thinking that his time was almost up, Chen Liang prepared to swim towards the riverside to avoid the suffocating pain of being pulled up by Chen Sheng. However, as his gaze swept across a stone not far away, his swimming body suddenly stopped. Confusion flickered in his eyes. Chen Liangs sight fell on a stone not far away. He had searched there before and found nothing unusual. But just now, he had clearly seen several small bubblesing up from under the stone. Something was off. Why would bubbles appear in this lifeless riverbed? Chen Liang was puzzled. However, he quickly adjusted and pretended nothing had happened, preparing to swim back to the riverside. But just then, Chen Shengs voice came from the surface of the river. Go and move that stone. Damn it! Chen Liang didnt expect that even his subtle movements couldnt escape the other partys eyes. Reluctantly, he once again started swimming. When he arrived in front of the stone, Chen Liang wrapped his hands around it. With ease, he moved the stone aside. However, the dirt underneath was still there, nothing unusual. Dig. But Chen Sheng apparently didnt want to give up. Chen Liang immediately started digging at the bottom of the river. During the process, he was pulled up by Chen Sheng several times for a rest before he returned here to continue digging. One meter, two meters. Chen Liang dug deeper and deeper but found nothing. Just as he began to doubt whether he had seen wrongly, suddenly, he inserted his fingers into the soil. His expression changed instantly. Underneath the soil, it was hollow! Chapter 90 - 89: Delving into the Sealed Land Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Delving into the Sealed Land Trantor: 549690339 Chen Liangs face changed. He subconsciously wanted to pull back his hand, pretending that nothing had happened. But after what had happened earlier, He already knew that no matter how subtle his actions were, they probably couldnt escape Chen Shengs eyes. Pretending at this moment would undoubtedly make things worse for himself. Thinking of this, He raised his head and looked at Chen Sheng on the shore through the river water. Continue. A faint voice followed. Chen Liang had no other choice. Although he didnt know what was going on underneath the mud, he could only investigate. He gritted his teeth, Put his hands to work and resumed digging. This time, it didnt take long. Digging through the thinyer of mud, a faint blue glow reflected on Chen Liangs face. What is this Underneath the mud, there was nothing. Only ayer of blue light separated the two sides, preventing him from seeing the scene behind the light.bender At this moment, Blue water droplets continuously seeped out along the edge of the light curtain, quickly turning into a blue mist that dispersed around. Chen Liang tentatively stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched the blue mist. The next second, The chill invaded his body like maggots gnawing on bones, circting throughout his body. In an instant, He only felt that his heartbeat was about to stop. Obviously, This was the source of the bone-piercing cold in the river water. Even the escaping breath was so terrifying; what would it be like deeper within Thinking of this, Chen Liang couldnt help but feel a bit of fear. However, Just as he hesitated, A huge force suddenly pushed him from behind. He immediately lost control of his body and plunged downwards. Damn! Chen Liang roared internally. He turned his head to look, Only to see a huge figure standing behind him. And, Chen Shengs indifferent eyes. UhIl Only managing to let out a whimper, Chen Liangs body disappearedpletely behind the light curtain. At this moment, Chen Sheng stood at the bottom of the river. With his current attributes in his eagle form, even staying at the bottom of the river for 20 minutes would not be a problem. However He extended his ck palm. Light blue mist brushed past his palm. The bone-devouring chill instantly soaked through his body. Even Chen Sheng felt as if his blood was about to freeze. tne area Denlna tne ngnt curtam was tilled witn tnls Dlue mist, Then he would have to give up exploring. He pushed Chen Liang into the light curtain in order to test it. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng tried to tighten the iron chain. Hmm? He raised his eyebrows, from the iron chain, a clear sense of struggle could be felt. It seemed that Chen Liang had not died yet, and even had the strength to struggle. However, Chen Sheng didnt rx. He kept the chain tight and silently counted in his heart, Only when he felt that Chen Liang was reaching his limit did he loosen the chain again. So it went on, For about five minutes, Feeling the struggling forceing from the chain, Chen Sheng finally determined that entering the light curtain for a short time would not cause any problems. Otherwise, Chen Liang should have been dead by now. His eyes were firm and he made up his mind. Without any hesitation, Chen Sheng took a step forward. His body disappeared into the light curtain. The world spun, and the scene before his eyes changed. Drip. Drip. The sound of water droplets hitting the ground echoed in Chen Shengs ears. He looked around, It turned out that he was in a cave. On the pitch-ck rock wall, faint blue luminous patterns were densely distributed. He could even faintly see blue water flowing along the patterns and out of the cave. Water droplets asionally seeped out and fell to the ground, Immediately forming patches of ice on the ground, constantly releasing white mist, making the temperature here extremely low. Fortunately, These mists didnt seem to have the extreme chill as the blue mist outside the light curtain, which made anyone feel extremely cold just from contact. Through the cold mist filling the cave, Chen Sheng looked into the distance. There, Chen Liang was kneeling on the ground, shivering and coughing with his hand on the iron chain around his neck. Inhale Chen Sheng tried to take a deep breath. The cold mist instantly entered his nostrils. But not only did it bring coldness, It also had an indescribable taste. Just inhaling it, he felt his blood cirction in his body speed up, and some inexplicable energy was gradually generated in his body. This feeling was like when Chen Sheng drank spirit medicine. It was very strange. What exactly was this ce? What was hidden deep in this cave? Why would just breathing in this air produce an effect simr to taking spirit medicine? Could it really be the so-called Heavenly Persons slumbering or sealednd? Chen Shengs curiosity had never been so strong. He no longer hesitated, He pulled the chain again, lifting Chen Liang off the ground. Scout ahead. Chen Liang knew he had no right to choose. He could only silently stand up from the ground, limping towards the depths of the cave. Drip. Drip. Time passed by every second. As the two of them continued deeper. The temperature in the cave continued to drop. At the same time, Chen Sheng noticed that there were more and more pale blue lines on the surrounding rock walls, almost filling them up in all directions. From the blue lines, water droplets seeped out constantly, falling onto the ground, to the point where the ground where Chen Sheng and the others could step on became increasingly scarce. Cold fog had also almost condensed into substance. If it werent for Chen Sheng and the others having a high Agility Attribute, their vision would have been obscured by the fog, unable to see anything clearly. Chen Liang was already shivering from the cold, barely able to stand steadily. But with each step he took, he was extremely cautious. Fearing that he would identally step on the ice surface or be hit by the blue water droplets. Although he didnt know what the blue liquid was. But as seen from the previous contact with the blue mist. A carelessness could lead to death. Fortunately, This kind of road did notst long. As the two went deeper in. Chen Sheng discovered that the surrounding situation had changed again. Those thin blue lines gradually converged intorge, strong ice paths clinging to the rock walls. This ice was extremely solid and no more blue water droplets were falling. Inside, one could only see a flow of blue water rushing out. After ten minutes. Plop. Chen Liang stopped moving. At the end of his line of sight. A blue light screen appeared again, preventing the two of them from seeing the scene behind. Continue. Chen Sheng did not hesitate, gently pulling the iron chain. The iron chain around Chen Liangs neck tightened, and he had to continue as his breathing becamebored. When he reached the light screen. He took a deep breath, as if mentally preparing himself. Then, His body vanished directly into the light screen. As for Chen Sheng, He did not enter immediately. After Chen Liang entered the light screen, he pulled the iron chain like before. Testing the other persons safety while keeping Chen Liang trapped in ce. At this moment, Chen Sheng stood in ce with a thoughtful expression. Based on what he had seen all the way through, as well as the information he had learned from Chen Liangst night. This ce should belong to the Heavenly Person Seal Land. Where the Heavenly Person came from. And what terrifying abilities it had, Chen Liang did not know. His information was limited to the difference between the Heavenly Person Seal Land and the Slumbering Land. Seal Land is usually unassuming and may exist in any remote corner, possibly being very vast or just a small area, but it is said that exotic treasures are often found inside. As for the Slumbering Land, it is mostly apanied by various strange urrences. Many wonders and spectacles of the worlde from it. And the Qi contained in the vicinity of the Slumbering Land is extremely high, so ifbined with Spirit Seeds, arge amount of Spirit medicine can be produced. Chen Sheng had not found a single Spirit medicine along the way. Together with the blue lines on the rock walls. Therefore, he spectes that this ce should be the Seal Land. That is to say Chen Sheng looked at the light screen. Behind this light screen, there might be a Heavenly Person who is sealed. As for the Zhou Family Vige incident, as well as the leakage of blue water droplets in the first half of the cave. Could it bethat the seal is about to break? Chen Shengs heart gradually rose. Although his current strength was now strong enough. He had no confidence in facing the Heavenly Person in his heart. Fortunately, Looking at thetter half of the cave, the seal seemed to have only shattered a little. If Chen Liang is still alive after five minutes, He nned to enter the light screen to find out what was behind it. What if he could find something that could enhance his strength wouldnt that be wonderful? With that thought, Chen Sheng quickly discarded other thoughts and focused on controlling the chain. Five minutes passed in an instant. Whoosh- Pulling the iron chain, Chen Liang was pulled out of the light screen. Chen Sheng looked at him up and down. It wasnt until he confirmed that there were no other abnormalities other than the wounds on Chen Liangs neck that he let his heart rest easy. Lets go. At Chen Shencsmand. Chen Liang remained silent, lowering his head and walking towards the light screen again. This time, Chen Sheng also went along. Next second. Whoosh- The scene before them suddenly widened. Quiet. Deadly silent. Chilling. What appeared before their eyes was a space that was only filled with coldness and death. A huge underwater cavity, the size of a small square, presented itself before Chen Sheng. Even Chen Sheng, upon seeing the surroundings, couldnt help but have a glint of shock in his eyes. But not because the entire cavern was covered with ice. It was because of the people beneath the iceyer. Yes. As far as Chen Sheng could see. Under the ice on the surrounding walls, there were people with exaggerated postures and various facial expressions. Some had small bodies but extremely developed muscles, seeming to roar with anger on their faces. Some were tall, with determined features and bodies in a running posture. There were even women, raising their hands as if calling out for something. These people had more hairpared to modern humans, and their facial structures were slightly different. They were all dressed in animal skins. Looking at them, it was as if Chen Sheng saw the ancient humans he had once seen during ss. Without exception, These people under the ice, all looked in the same direction. Towards the deepest part of the cave. Chen Sheng followed their gazes. Next second. His pupils, reflected a deep blue in an instant.. Chapter 91 - 90: Return and Profound True Martial Arts Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Return and Profound True Martial Arts Trantor: 549690339 What is.this? Chen Sheng stared nkly into the depths of the cave. There. A several-meters-long crack, rhythmically undting in a unique manner. A faint deep blue glow was emanating from the crack, scattering in all directions. Inside, it was as if an endless stream of deep-blue water was continuously gushing out following the patterns around the crack. Chen Liang, who was by his side, was likewise attracted by this crack. His eyes gradually lost focus, bing entranced. As if something inside that crack was drawing him in. Suddenly. As if sensing something. The blue water flowing on the surrounding ice surface suddenly emanated a light that did not originate from within the crack. Whoosh! Chen Sheng immediately felt an indescribable pressure descending upon his body. At the same time. It seemed as though countless voices were roaring incessantly in his ears. Kneel! Kneel!! Kneel!!! Strangely. Inside the entire ice cave, there was not a single sound to be heard. Yet in Chen Shengs mind, the voices were continuously booming, multiplying by the second. Men and women, old and young. Every voice was roaring with anger,manding Chen Sheng to kneel. Making him feel as if his head was about to split open. Chen Sheng couldnt help but clutch his head. On his forehead, veins were bulging one after another. Thump! Chen Liang by his side knelt down directly, almost without any resistance. He buried his head deeply into the ground, his body shaking violently under the pressure. Like a small creature facing its natural predator. Crack- Crack! The sounds of bones breaking resonated continuously within Chen Shengs body. His eyes gradually turned bloodshot. Chen Sheng even had the sense that his brain was about to explode at any moment. But even so, He did not kneel. Instead, he pushed himself against this pressure, trying to stand up straight. It wasnt about having a spine. It was more of a feeling, that if he sumbed to this pressure, he might really die. Just like that. Underneath the pressure. Chen Liangs body was pressed lower and lower to the ground. As for Chen Sheng, He pushed against the pressure, retreating step by step towards the light projection behind him. One step, Two steps, Three steps. Suddenly, Chen Sheng was before the light projection. The next step, he could exit the light projection. But just then Whoosh! The pressure on his body disappeared abruptly. The booming roars in his mind also vanished at the same time. Huff Chen Shengs body rxed dramatically. But his actions did not stop because of it. Who knew what would happen next? I better make a run for it! He lifted his leg to retreat, preparing to leave the ice cave. But the next second. Bang! He suddenly hit the wall with his back. Chen Shengs expression froze instantly. He slowly turned his head mechanically. What met his gaze was a stone wall. The light projection had already disappeared. The path to retreat had beenpletely blocked. And moreover, Before Chen Sheng could react, something even stranger happened.bender The primal humans locked in the ice, each varying in appearance, had quietly transformed. Chen Sheng watched as these primal humans slowly turned their eyes toward him. All the angry, sorrowful, and determined expressions on their faces disappeared. What reced them were faces with gentle smiles. But whats odd was. Facing the stares of these corpses, Chen Sheng didnt feel scared. On the contrary he felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if these people were his old friends, his kin, his family. Chen Sheng found his own state very odd. However , Before he could figure out what was happening, The angry voices in his mind demanding him to kneel earlier started resounding again. Only, This time, the voices were incredibly tender. Dont be afraid We are all humans, derived from the same bloodline. These voices consoled Chen Sheng. It was anguage Chen Sheng had never heard before, but amazingly, he could vaguely understand their meaning. We were born weak, but our hearts are determined. Facing the power of heaven, we never bend. Never submit!! Though we humans tried to resist fate, we could not fulfill our duty, what a pity, what a pity. As a human like us, we hope you will uphold this determination. You have suffered. Never forget this determination! Would rather die, but never submit!! The voices exchanged words, Some were resolute and powerful, Some were soft and gentle, Some were still immature, Some were old and hoarse. It seemed as if they were cautioning Chen Sheng of something. Before Chen Sheng could understand, The voices all disappeared. Following that, An abnormality urred once again beneath the ice surface. The body of a woman suddenly lit up with light blue dots. These rays of light connected, extending towards a young boy next to her. Slowly, The light points on the ice surface became denser. The lines began to form a picture in front of Chen Sheng. This is Chen Sheng stared at the pattern on the ice surface, somewhat stupefied. A KingTurtle? Correct. What eventually appeared in front of Chen Sheng, was a turtle. Standing on the sea surface, it raised its head and roared in anger. The surrounding sea, as if influenced by its emotion, was churning up giant waves. A huge snake entwined around its tail, flickering its tongue, looking at the sky with a cold gaze. On its back, there were small human figures, each in different poses. The twobined, seemed to be challenging something. Chen Sheng followed the direction of the crowds gaze on the scroll and looked up. Unfortunately, The scroll did not reveal their enemy. At that moment, The scroll changed again. The light dots forming the scroll started flickering. Alternating between light and dark, there seemed to be a fascinating rhythm. Chen Sheng had a sense of realization. Subconsciously, he began to breathe in the same rhythm as the light dots. His body also subconsciously mimicked the actions of the people on the turtles back. Inhale Exhale. In the ice cave, arge amount of gas was inhaled into his body, elerating the cirction of Chen Shengs Qi and blood, while also continuously replenishing him with energy. His heart was beating like a drum, consecutively exploding within Chen Shengs body. His Qi and blood surged like the sea, he could even hear the sound of them rushing through his body. Every inch of his body seems to be enduring a tremendous pressure, continuously driving Chen Sheng to transform in the direction of greater strength. Hiss Chen Sheng took a sharp intake of breath. The rhythm of his breath was forcibly interrupted. A hint of horror shed in his eyes. Chen Sheng looked down at his own body. That formidable physical body that hadnt been injured since his breakthrough with the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. At this moment, tiny cracks spread across the surface of his skin, with fresh blood continuously seeping out. His hand gently pressed against his chest. Feeling his gradually calming heartbeat, Chen Sheng finally exhaled a sigh of relief. What was that breathing rhythm just now? It was as if he had once again experienced the pain of the first time he tried the Eagle Body Breathing Technique. That was the pain of the body being unable to ept the enhancement of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique, almost tearing apart. And his sensation just now was several times more intense than that. If he continued for a while longer, Chen Sheng had no doubt that his heart would explode. Could it bea breathing technique? Chen Sheng had a sense of understanding. Just as he was about to call up the panel to check, The surrounding scene changed again. The people beneath the ice surface had returned to their previous state. The light curtain also reappeared behind him. It was as if everything that just happened was merely Chen Shengs illusion. As for Chen Liang, he stilly motionless on the ground, not moving at all. It seemed he didnt see the unusual scene that Chen Sheng had just witnessed at all. Lets go. This ice cave, is too creepy. Chen Sheng didnt want to stay any longer. He would inspect the panel once they got back to the shore. He pulled on the chain, ready to take Chen Liang and leave. However, A thud was heard. Chen Liangs body, unexpectedly fell directly to the ground. Hmm? Chen Shengs gaze tightened. He saw Chen Liang lying on the ground, his face purple-ck, his eyes tightly shut. And he was no longer breathing. Whish! At this point, Chen Sheng didnt want to stay in this ghost ce for one more second. Like a shuttle, his figure instantly darted through the light curtain behind him and ran towards the exit of the cave. As for Chen Liangs corpse. It was left hanging in midair behind him like a kite, following Chen Sheng out of the cave. Darting swiftly in the cave, he urately avoided each falling droplet and the icy ground. In less than one minute. Chen Sheng had already reached the exit of the cave. Without a second thought, he descended directly through the light curtain to the river bottom. Feeling the faint chill, The tensed heart of Chen Sheng gradually came down. Taking another look at the light curtain on the ground, Chen Shengs eyes were filled with a grave expression. If his guess was right, then whats sealed inside the crevice, must be a celestial being. And those humans under the ice around him, must be the ancient humans who sacrificed themselves to seal the celestial being. And the pressure and the voice he had felt just before would be a trial for the intruders of the ice cave set up by these ancient humans. Those who pass get rewarded. Those who fail, die. It was clear the real celestial being had not moved an inch from the beginning to the end. The ancient humans, who have been dead for who knows how many years, could limit his actions with just their residual pressure. How strong could they have been? And this celestial being that the ancient humans jointly sacrificed to barely seal, and whom they even failed to kill, How much more terrifying could they be? Through this experience, For the first time, Chen Sheng acquired an initial understanding of the terrifying strength of the celestial beings. If what Shen Zi Ming said was true, those celestial beings will be awakening soon At this point, Chen Sheng felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. His slightcency from thepletion of the breathing technique had now vanished. His strength now, it was still not nearly enough. He had to be faster, even faster! He had to acquire the strength to defeat the celestial beings before they awaken! With this in mind, Chen Sheng casually pushed the stone covering the light curtain back into ce. Then he used the iron chain to tie up Chen Liangs corpse on the stone. The reason why he carried Chen Liangs corpse was because Chen Sheng was worried that leaving it in the ice cave would cause more trouble. It was moreforting to just tie it here and let it slowly rot. Having done all this, Chen Sheng was ready to return to the shore. But suddenly, his steps halted. After a bit of deliberation, Chen Sheng came back to Chen Liangs corpse. Next second, Whoosh! The pitch-ck knuckles cut through the water, crushing Chen Liangs head entirely. Only then did Chen Sheng nod satisfactorily and swim towards the shore. Ssh The massive body jumped out of the water. hitting the ground. Back ashore, Chen Sheng immediately called up the panel. As expected, He saw a new skill in the skill column. [Profound and True Martial Arts Ivo: 1/50000] Are you kidding me?! Chen Shengs pupils shrank. This new skill, Just for the first level, the required proficiency was actually more than the total of the three levels of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique.. Chapter 92 - 91: Departure and Martial Discussion s Arrival Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Departure and Martial Discussion s Arrival Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng was initially expecting something. To see what kind of progress this breathing technique called Profound and True Martial Arts could bring to him. After all, just now in the ice cave, the performance of this breathing technique was quite astonishing. Even with his attributes in Eagle Body State being a full 30 points, it didntst for even two minutes. If he could master this breathing technique before the Martial Arts Conference, it would surely be of great help in improving his strength. But now, Just the requirement of 50,000 proficiency points, has directly shattered Chen Shengs hope. With his current attribute growth rate, it would take at least four to five days to achieve that. Its impossible to upgrade before the Martial Arts Conference. Fortunately, he had an alternative n. That was the Rabbits Breath he got from Xu Ying. Although it was definitely not as good as Profound and True Martial Arts, it could still make Chen Shengs attributes leap once again. After all, he had the Breaking Limits Constitution. Whether its training or practicing breathing techniques, the effect would not diminish due to the increase in basic attributes. On the contrary, it would be faster and faster. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng recalled the panel and came to the fire pit. At this moment, Zhou Li and Xu Ying were eating rice with their hands, with three cans of food on the ground. Chen Sheng took the bowl and chopsticks from Zhou Li and scooped arge spoonful of rice from the iron pot. Zhou Li knew Chen Shengs appetite very well. After Chen Sheng sat down, he opened six or seven more cans from his bag and pushed them in front of Chen Sheng. Zhou Li looked around and did not see Chen Liangs figure. Wheres that kid who went into the water with you? Dead. Hearing this, Zhou Li made a sound of acknowledgement and continued eating. As for Xu Ying, he didnt dare to raise his head, just putting the rice in his mouth honestly. However, looking at his movements, it was obviously a bit stiff. If Senior Brother is dead, is it my turn next? Xu Ying was fearful in his heart. But in front of Chen Sheng, he didnt even have the idea of resisting in his mind. As for escaping, Xu Ying had no doubt that if he showed any abnormal behaviour, his head would be pped off. At this moment, he looked like he was still eating; but his thoughts were no longer on the rice and he was constantly thinking about how to save himself. As for Xu Yings inner thoughts, the other two were not aware. Did you find anything? Zhou Li picked up a piece of dried radish and put it in his mouth. As he chewed, he looked at Chen Sheng. There is a Heavenly Person sealed at the bottom of the river. The seal seems to be a bit broken. As soon as his words fell, Zhou Lis body stiffened, and the chewing motion stopped as well. Next second, Damn! He jumped up directly from the ground. His movements were incredibly agile, not at all like someone dying from a serious illness. Why are you still eating while thats going on? Hurry up, pack up and leave! Even though he had been anticipating it for many years, Zhou Lis first reaction at the confirmed answer, was not to avenge the people of Zhou Family Vige, but to escape. What a joke, thats a Heavenly Person! It doesnt matter if he dies, but if Chen Sheng gets killed because of him, then without a doubt, his chance of being reincarnated would be affected. With that said, The old man didnt care about the bowl of rice and directly prepared to rush into the wooden house to pack up the important things and leave with Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng did not stop him. To be honest, although the seal in the cave didnt seem to be seriously damaged, the Zhou Family Vige incident was probably rted to the broken seal. What if, the seal broke again during his two days of training? How would he cope? Chen Sheng didnt want to take this risk. Therefore, he also nned to leave after finishing his meal. As for the training, he would find another ce. Although the effect might be a little slower, it was still better than losing his life. As for Thinking of this, Chen Sheng looked at Xu Ying. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. Compared to Chen Liang, Xu Ying was a good person. Otherwise, he wouldnt have tried to restrain Chen Liang and let the two of them escape while he was unaware of Chen Shengs strength. He still listened during the short time they had been together. Although Chen Sheng was ruthless towards his enemies, he was not bloodthirsty by nature. As a result, he was somewhat conflicted as to how to deal with Xu Ying at this time. At this moment, Xu Ying, feeling Chen Shengs gaze, lost his appetite for food. He lowered his head, and a conflicted look appeared on his face. In the end, Xu Ying seemed to have made up his mind. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and faced Chen Sheng. Bang! His forehead mmed heavily on the ground. Please Brother Zhou, allow me to submit my loyalty statement, and spare my life. Loyalty statement? Chen Sheng looked at Xu Ying with interest. What do you n to do? Please let me go down the river and retrieve Chen Liangs corpse. Xu Ying stated his request. Are you sure? Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow. Although he didnt know what the other party wanted Chen Liangs corpse for, However, the river water was freezing and chilling to the bone. Even Chen Liang, who was much stronger than Xu Ying, could only stay at the bottom of the river for no more than five minutes. If Xu Ying were to go into the river for more than two minutes with his current attributes, it would almost certainly be a death sentence. But looking at his determined expression. In the end, Chen Sheng slowly nodded. Okay. Upon hearing this, Xu Ying immediately went to the riverside. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and entered the Breathing Method state. With a ssh, Xu Ying leaped into the river, disappearing into the water with his whole body. As for Chen Sheng, he quietly sat by the fire, waiting and looking forward to Xu Yings next move. He didnt believe that Xu Ying would run away. Given Xu Yings weak strength, he couldnt even swim out of the river. He would have to follow Chen Liang into the Underworld. Two minutester. Ssh A slightly thick arm jutted out from the river, grabbing onto the riverside. Xu Ying, whose face was pale from the cold and whose lips were purple, shakily climbed up from the bottom of the river. Behind him, a headless corDse was tied uD with chains. It was Chen Liang. Back on the shore, Xu Ying knelt down. After catching his breath for a moment, he got up again. He walked to the fire, picked up the phone. After some operations, he handed it to Chen Sheng. Brother Zhou. Chen Sheng took it. He saw that the phone screen was already in the camera interface. Now, Chen Sheng immediately understood Xu Yings intention. Go ahead. He raised the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly. As the words fell, Xu Ying picked up a stone about the size of a head. He walked over to the corpse, both feet firmly nted near its neck. From this angle, one could see his face but not the details of Chen Liangs head. If anyone viewed the video, they could guess Chen Liangs identity based on the clothes and body, but they wouldnt be able to see whether Chen Liangs head was still intact. Next, Xu Yings face became fierce. He raised the stone in his hand, smashing it down hard onto the ground. Bang! Bang! Bang! Strike after strike. The recently deceased Chen Liangs body convulsed from time to time. Slightly brownish blood sttered onto Xu Yings grim face, looking extremely terrifying. After a few minutes of smashing, Xu Ying finally stopped. The body underneath, had long been mutted beyond recognition. Its enough. Chen Sheng turned off the camera and nodded. This video, whether it was given to Xu Yings sect or handed over to the Wuan Bureau. Xu Ying would not have a good oue. Although it couldnt be considered a perfect way to present himself, at least, Chen Sheng saw Xu Yings determination. If my sect learns of my leak of the Rabbits Breath, they will definitely not let me go. Ive written down all my personal information and details in the phones memo, sir Brother Zhou can verify them one by one. Please, Brother Zhou, give me a chance to live. Xu Ying kneeled on the ground again, just begging for a chance to survive. His eyes closed tightly, feeling the hard, cold touch on his forehead, he quietly awaited Chen Shengs judgment. However , after waiting for a long time, Xu Ying did not get a reply from Chen Sheng. But he dared not move. He justy there on the ground. It wasnt until about ten minutester, that Chen Shengs voice finally came from afar. Hey.bender Under the call, Xu Ying looked up, bewildered. He saw, in the distance, among the trees, Chen Sheng was holding his luggage and Zhou Li was standing beside him. Clean up here before you leave. Chen Sheng pointed at the corpse by the riverside. Having said that, he didnt stay any longer and turned around with Zhou Li, walking towards the outside of the woods. Xu Ying knelt in ce, frozen for about three or four seconds, and then ecstatic. Thank you, thank you, Brother Zhou! He repeatedly kowtowed towards the direction Chen Sheng was leaving. It wasnt until Chen Shengs figurepletely vanished into the woods that he stopped. Xu Ying quickly got up and began cleaning up all the traces left behind here. Between the trees, Kid, the Martial Arts Conference is in two days. What do you n to do? Zhou Li put down the phone in his hand and asked Chen Sheng. What can I do? Just find a ce to train slowly by myself. Chen Shengs answer was somewhat absent-minded. Thats because he was currently looking at his attribute panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 19-9] [Agility: 21.9] [Constitution: 19.8] [Rabbits Breath Ivo: 1/5000] [Skill Points: 11.9] With his current strength, as long as he practiced Rabbits Breath a little, it would appear directly on the panel. From the proficiency required for the first level, it should be on the same level as the Eagles Breath. Today is the 20th. Its 2 0clock in the afternoon now. The Martial Arts Conference will start on the 22nd at 9 in the morning. Which means, Chen Sheng has a day and a half left. Two spirit medicines are left. If all goes well, it should be enough for him to raise Rabbits Breath to the secondyer. Or even. Perfection! Time flew by swiftly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Martial Arts Conference.. Chapter 93 - 92: The Beginning and Successive Appearances Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Beginning and Sessive Appearances Trantor: 549690339 Fuhai Province, Haizhou City. 22nd, Wednesday morning at nine o¡¯clock. Fuhai Martial Arts Association Headquarters entrance. On regr days, this ce is bustling with activity. Both martial artists whoe to handle business and tourists who are interested in martial arts and visit for a look always flow in an endless stream. But today, it¡¯s unusually quiet. Outside the headquarters¡¯ main entrance, there¡¯s a sign refusing visitors. At various positions, security personnel are stationed to block the people trying to enter the headquarters, while also being responsible for security checks. ¡°Quanjiang, Crane Fist Sect¡¯s master, He Qi.¡± At this moment, An old man with white hair and a gloomy face reported his name to the security personnel on both sides. Hearing the name, the security personnel immediately took out theirputers and began to search for information. He Qi was not in a hurry, standing there with his eyes closed, looking calm andposed. Behind him, there was also a thin and tall young man in his twenties. However,pared to He Qi¡¯s calm demeanor, This young man seemed visibly more nervous. His gaze asionally looked around at the other martial arts sects entering the venue. ¡°Excuse me.¡± At this moment, The security personnel had already confirmed the identities of the two men. Crane Fist Sect¡¯s master, He Qi, and his second disciple, He Jiu. But as per the regtions, every martial artist entering the headquarters must be checked to prevent weapons from being brought in. He held a detector and slowly scanned over the bodies of He Qi and He Jiu. ¡°Please enter. ¡± Once it was confirmed, they stepped aside. He Qi immediately took a step forward and walked ahead. The headquarters¡¯ main entrance was an automatic sensing ss door. When He Qi came to the door, it automatically slid open to both sides. Upon entering, He Qi subconsciously frowned. Compared to the quietness outside, the field inside was exceptionally noisy. This ce was originally the office hall of the association¡¯s headquarters. But as early as one day ago, the headquarters staff had already cleared most of the facilities, temporarily transforming it into a makeshift venue. At the deepest part of the hall, there was a long table covered with red cloth, with about four or five seats. This was obviously reserved for the association¡¯s headquartersmittee members. As for the long table on both sides, A wooden chair was ced every two meters, reserved for the leaders of various martial arts sects. At this moment, More than a dozen wooden chairs on the field were already upied. The leaders of various sects sat in the chairs, either chatting with old friends nearby or closing their eyes to rest. Behind them were the disciples of various sects participating in the Martial Arts Conference. These disciples usually spent most of their time practicing martial arts in their sects, and this was their first time encountering so many fellow martial artists. So, it was inevitable that they were somewhat excited. A good number of them, with the approval of their masters, began to visit and greet others. asionally, they would encounter someone they could chat with, regardless of whether the person was an opponent or not, they would not mind having a good conversation. However, He Qi also noticed that the sects that had arrived were roughly divided into two groups. The first group was sitting near the entrance, with the leaders of these martial arts sects mostly chatting and drinking tea, and their disciples visiting and greeting each other. Most of the more than a dozen martial arts sects present belonged to this group. The second group had only three or four sects, sitting closer to the chairman¡¯s long table. The leaders of these martial arts sects just sat in their chairs, closing their eyes to rest. The disciples they brought looked calm andposed, not moving around like disciples from the peripheral martial arts sects. Between the two groups, it seemed as if an invisible barrier had emerged. The separation was clear, and they did not disturb each other. If someone from a small sect in an outside city, like He Qi, tried to step forward and strike up a conversation, They would be pulled back by someone from the sect they had just met and warned in a low voice, Or met with a nce from the disciples in the second group, which would make them turn back, not daring to make contact. ¡°Sir, pleasee here to register and confirm your participation in the Martial Arts Conference.¡¯ As He Qi was observing the situation inside the venue, a voice sounded not far away. He looked towards it. At a small table next to the sensing door, a staff member in a suit was sitting. His face was filled with a warm smile as he gestured towards He Qi. ¡°Register here?¡± He Qi walked in front of the table and asked. His voice was very hoarse, It sounded like the friction of ss, making one¡¯s teeth feel sour. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Since our Martial Arts Conference doesn¡¯t have an advance registration system,¡± ¡°All the martial arts sects that have arrived need to register here first.¡± ¡°Once the registration is closed at twelve o¡¯clock noon, I will hand it over to the associationmittee members to arrange the Martial Arts Conference.¡± But this young staff member was not affected at all. He was wearing a smile on his face as he pulled out a form and pushed it in front of He Qi. ¡°Please fill in the basic information of the sect, the name of thepeting disciple, and the level of their strength on the form.¡± He Qi took the ballpoint pen without saying anything and began to fill it out. He seemed to think of something exciting, and his expression became somewhat smug. He filled in: He Jiu. Transformation Realm First Stage. The peak of the entry-level realm. Moreover, He Jiu had also achieved the first level of the Breathing Technique realm. With such strength, even if he isn¡¯t the best in the Martial Arts Conference, he would definitely rank in the top three. He Qi slowly pushed the form in front of the staff. Looking at the staff member, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. In his mind, he even imagined the surprised expression the other party would have when they saw He Jiu¡¯s strength level. However , Contrary to He Qi¡¯s expectations, The staff member nced at the form but showed no change in his face. ¡°All right, Master He, please take a seat.¡± The other party collected the form with a smile on his face and gestured for He Qi to take a seat. He Qi was somewhat displeased by the staff member¡¯s reaction, But he thought the other party was not a martial artist and did not understand the twists and turns of it. He snorted lightly, And turned to walk into the venue. Seeing that He Jiu, who was behind him, was peering around, looking timid, He Qi became even more annoyed. ¡°Tuck away that ¡®I¡¯ve never seen the world¡¯ appearance of yours!¡± ¡°I brought you here today to bolster the reputation of our Crane Fist Sect! Look at yourself! ¡± Under the scolding of his master, He Jiu subconsciously shrank his head down. But under He Qi¡¯s intimidating gaze, he quickly puffed out his chest, keeping his body upright. Seeing this, He Qi nodded in satisfaction. Just then, The ss door opened again. A robust white-bearded old man and a young man with an indifferent expression walked in. Compared to He Qi¡¯s initial arrival, The other party seemed to be quite familiar with the ce. Upon entering the arena, they went straight to the small table. ¡°Xingwu Gym, Li Xingwu.¡± ¡°Competing Disciple, Wu Ran, Transformation Realm First Stage.¡± Whoosh! The moment Li Xingwu finished speaking, He Qi, who had been about to walk into the arena, instantly turned around. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± He Qi stared intently at Wu Ran. His eyes were filled with undisguised anger. That indifferent face, as if he couldn¡¯t care less about anyone, was something he could never forget in his lifetime. ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing He Qi¡¯s voice, Li Xingwu turned his head with a puzzled look. He saw the other party staring at his disciple, Wu Ran, with a furious expression. ¡°He Qi, is there a problem?¡± Li Xingwu instantly recognized the other party as He Qi, the leader of Crane Fist Sect in Quanjiang City. Although he didn¡¯t know why the other party had hostility towards Wu Ran, as a master, he naturally couldn¡¯t sit by and do nothing. But right after he finished speaking, He Qi¡¯s face changed as if he had put on a new mask, and all the anger on his face disappeared. ¡°Li Xingwu, you¡¯ve taken a good disciple.¡± ¡°I hope we can bump into each other during the Martial Arts Conference.¡± He Qi looked at Wu Ran with a cold smile. After saying this, he didn¡¯t wait for Li Xingwu¡¯s reaction and directly turned around to leave. As he walked away, He Qi¡¯s expression became darker and darker. ¡°He Jiu.¡± He gently called his disciple¡¯s name. ¡°Master, what is it?¡± He Jiu replied. He was He Qi¡¯s nephew and had just joined the Crane Fist Sect a month ago. He Jiu was not aware of the past between He Qi and Wu Ran. ¡°If you encounter that person from earlier in the Martial Arts Conference,¡± ¡°Give him a hell of a beating!¡± ¡°Beat him to death, beat him cripple!¡± He Qi¡¯s tone was filled with icy coldness. He Jiu subconsciously shivered upon hearing this. ¡°Disciple understands.¡± But he dared not go against his master¡¯s wishes, so he hurriedly nodded his head. With that, the two of them walked inside. Baffled, Li Xingwu looked at He Qi¡¯s retreating figure, furrowing his brow. ¡°Ah Ran, what¡¯s going on?¡± He asked Wu Ran. ¡°I just awakened as a Qi-sensor and stayed in the Crane Fist Sect for two days.¡± ¡°But their internal cultivation techniques are crude, and I didn¡¯t fancy them, so I left.¡± Wu Ran spoke indifferently, not paying any attention to He Qi¡¯s words. The status of the Crane Fist Sect in Quanjiang was not much better than that of Chen Sheng¡¯s Eagle Body Sect, and they were unable to provide enough resources for his cultivation. He Qi wasn¡¯t even a Qi-sensor. Having joined the sect only for a few days, Wu Ran chose to leave, and his words were just as direct as they were today. At the time, He Qi had considered him the hope for the rise of the Crane Fist Sect. But the hope was shattered, and his sect¡¯s martial arts were humiliated by Wu Ran, making him nearly have a heart attack from anger. Therefore, that¡¯s why he had such a strong reaction when he saw Wu Ran just now. What He Qi didn¡¯t know was, before Wu Ran left the Crane Fist Sect, he had also secretly learned their breathing technique. If he knew about that, he wouldn¡¯t have merely almost had a heart attack, but would have been furious enough to literally depart for the west on a crane. At this time, having heard Wu Ran¡¯s words, Li Xingwu not only wasn¡¯t dissatisfied, but actually nodded in approval. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± ¡°Talented birds choose their trees to nest. ¡± ¡°If you stay in such a small sect, it will only limit your development.¡± What he implied was, he obviously agreed with Wu Ran¡¯s discerning eye. With that said, Li Xingwu waved his hand. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about such insignificant people, just focus on the Martial Arts Conference.¡± ¡°If you encounter He Qi¡¯s disciple, you can also show him the real world and let him understand what a real strong person is.¡± As he spoke, Li Xingwu was full of confidence. Because he knew that with Wu Ran¡¯s current strength, no disciple from small sects and schools couldpare with him. ¡°Yes.¡± After saying that, Li Xingwu, together with Wu Ran, casually found a seat in the arena and sat down. For the following two hours, Martial Arts Sects arrived one after another. The number of people in the hall gradually increased. They were all different, but without exception, those who came to attend the Martial Arts Conference had a great deal of confidence on their faces. Each sect leader believed that his disciples were capable of shining at the Martial Arts Conference. Time slowly passed. The ss door hadn¡¯t opened for quite a while. It was almost twelve o¡¯clock, the time for registration to close. The staff member sitting next to the small table checked the time. 11:55 At that time, they wouldn¡¯t expect anyone else from any sect to arrive. Thinking so, he nned to pack up and hand over the registration forms to the associationmittee members. But just as he stood up to leave, the ss door opened again. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t leave, young man.¡± An old figure with a slightly bent posture walked in quickly from behind the door. ¡°Old man, are you here to sign up for the Martial Arts Conference? The staff member looked at the old man with some confusion. Hisplexion was pale, and he was wearing a thick cotton jacket. And he was alone, without any disciple following him. It didn¡¯t look like he was here to attend the Martial Arts Conference at all. ¡°Sign, sign, sign.¡± ¡°Our leader was dyed, he¡¯ll be here soon, you just sign me up first.¡± ¡°Eagle Body Sect, Sect Leader Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Competing participant, also Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°As for strength¡ you can fill in whatever you want..¡± Chapter 94 - 93: Da Zhuang Successfully Registers Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Da Zhuang Sessfully Registers Trantor: 549690339 ¡°So¡ your name is Chen Sheng?¡± The staff member asked hesitantly. ¡°No, my name is Zhou Li.¡± Zhou Li shook his head directly. ¡°I am the former leader of the Eagle Body Sect, here to register for the current Sect leader. ¡± Every time he thought of Chen Sheng, he was so angry that his teeth itched. That little brat, insisting on practicing his skills early in the morning, and then making some kind of breakthrough. Now, even given 10 minutes, let alone an hour, Chen Sheng might not be able to make it. Poor him, at his age, having toe and register for this kid early in the morning. Upon hearing this, The staff member couldn¡¯t help but feel amused. ¡°That¡¯s not right.¡± ¡°In principle, registration requires the Sect Leader and the disciples participating in the Martial Arts Conference to be present.¡± ¡°But your Sect Leader is the participant, and he¡¯s not here. What¡¯s going on?¡± Having said that, He nced at his watch. ¡°It¡¯s 12 0¡¯clock now.¡± ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll wait another 10 minutes for you. If your Eagle Body Sect Leader can make it, we will let him register, deal?¡± The staff member didn¡¯t treat Zhou Li impolitely because of his frail appearance. Instead, he sincerely offered apromise. But. ¡°Old man?¡± After the staff member finished speaking, seeing Zhou Li¡¯s hesitation and gnashing expression on his face, he thought the old man was not satisfied with his proposal. ¡°How about¡ 20 minutes? This is the most time I can get for you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, ¡°Cough, cough!¡± Zhou Li came back to his senses and coughed dryly. ¡°Young man, lower your voice. Talking to you like this makes my old neck gore ¡± He waved gently. The staff member was tall and imposing, and Zhou Li had to look up when talking to him. Adhering to the principle of respecting elders and cherishing the young, At Zhou Li¡¯s request, he chose to squat down. Who knew at that moment, His shoulder was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Li. ¡°Young man.¡± ¡°As a martial artist, let¡¯s be straightforward.¡± ¡°Five hundred, register for my Sect Leader.¡± Zhou Li held up five fingers, his expression very serious. ¡°Sorry, there are regtions in the association that we cannot-¡± ¡°One thousand!¡± ¡°Old man, this really¡¡± ¡°Two thousand!¡± ¡°This is not about money or not¡¡± ¡°Three thousand.¡± ¡°Old man, please fill out some basic information here.¡± The staff member nced around, After confirming that no one was paying attention, he discreetly stuffed the banknotes into his chest pocket and handed a form to Zhou Li. What principle? Sorry. This is the Martial Arts Conference, which talks about martial arts, not principles. Taking the ballpoint pen handed by the staff member, Zhou Li wrote vigorously, writing down the basic information of the Eagle Body Sect and Chen Sheng¡¯s registration information, and returned it to the staff member. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± The registration time had already expired. He needed to submit the registration information to the associationmittee members as soon as possible. ¡°Good kid, you have a promising future.¡± ¡°When my Eagle Body Sect wins the Martial Arts Conference, I won¡¯t forget you.¡± Zhou Li happily patted the staff member¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Thank you, old man.¡± ¡°By the way, this is my friend Xiao Jiang¡¯s phone number. He is in charge of security.¡± ¡°If your Sect Leader arriveste, you can directly dial this number, and Xiao Jiang will bring him in through the back door.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t be toote, otherwise, he will directly lose his eligibility topete.¡± The staff member tore off a piece of paper and quickly wrote down a phone number. Afterward, He said goodbye to Zhou Li directly and left through the side door. As for what Zhou Li said about winning the Martial Arts Conference, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. Of the dozens of martial arts sects present, nearly every one of them believed that their disciples could win. He had heard such words all morning. After the staff member left, znou Ll took out ms pnone and sent tne security personnel¡¯s pnone number to Chen Sheng while cursing him on the side. However, Chen Sheng seemed to be still practicing and did not respond immediately. Seeing this, Zhou Li looked up, his eyes searching around. Soon, He found an empty wooden chair in the corner of the hall. The position was just right, not too conspicuous. He quickly walked over and sat down. Rushing to the destination, Zhou Li was about to take a sip of water to catch his breath, When he saw someone approaching. ¡°Stone Fist Sect¡¯s Shi Dazhuang pays respects to senior.¡± The visitor was a dark-skinned, stout short young man, who bowed and saluted Zhou Li. His appearance was in and unremarkable, his upper body T-shirt looked loose, and even a pair of jeans seemed somewhat faded. But his behavior was quite polite. Zhou Li noticed that the short young man¡¯s fists were very rough, with a grayish overall appearance, seemingly covered with a thickyer of calluses. ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Zhou Li quickly collected himself. As the former leader of the Eagle Body Sect, he had not taken any disciples for years. He lived an ordinary life. Seeing someone greeting him, he didn¡¯t know how to react for a moment, quickly putting down his water cup and nodding in response. His polite attitude made Shi Dazhuang unexpectedly happy. He came from an insignificant small mountain vige in Fuhai Province and became a Qi-sensor just two months ago. Even his sect, Stone Fist Sect, was only registered in the local Martial Arts Association after he became a Qi-sensor and followed his father to learn their family martial arts. So far, there are only two people in the Stone Fist Sect. Shi Dazhuang and his father, Shi Daqian. This time, Shi Dazhuang came to Haizhou City alone to test his current level and get to know his peers of martial artists. As for his father, he stayed at home to do farm work. Shi Dazhuang, one of the first to arrive in the headquarters hall of the Association, greeted every sect that entered the ce. Unfortunately, Shi Dazhuang didn¡¯t understand much about martial arts. He didn¡¯t even know what level he was at and had just been blindly practicing with his father. Even with the medicines, he only drank them once a month. When most of the sect leaders first saw his outfit, they were somewhat impolite. Among those who were willing to interact with him, after learning about his background, their attitude would quickly take a 180-degree turn, ignoring him. As for the sects in the front row. Shi Dazhuang hadn¡¯t even approached them, and he was red back by some of their disciples. Zhou Li, who arrived fashionablyte, was the only sect he hadn¡¯t interacted with yet on the scene. At this moment, after Zhou Li nodded in response, both stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Finally, Shi Dazhuang realized he should take the initiative to speak up. ¡°I don¡¯t know which sect the senior belongs to¡¡± Only then did Zhou Li remember that he hadn¡¯t reported his sect yet. He quickly stood up and saluted with a bow. ¡°Quanjiang Eagle Body Gate, Zhou Li.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you, senior Zhou!¡± Shi Dazhuang immediately changed his address and saluted with a fist again. ¡°Not at all, not at all, nice to meet you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure, it¡¯s my pleasure.¡± The two humbly exchanged greetings. You salute with a fist, I return with a bow. Back and forth several times. Zhou Li took the initiative to stop. Looking at Shi Dazhuang, who seemed ready to go on for another couple of rounds, Zhou Li couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit irritated. Where did this naive kide from? Arguing with Chen Sheng was more interesting than this. ¡°Do you¡ have any matters to discuss?¡± Zhou Li got straight to the point. ¡°Not really, I¡¯m just bored and wanted to chat with seniors like you.¡± Shi Dazhuang grinned, sounding very sincere. Compared to his dark skin, his white teeth were particrly eye-catching. He visited each sect mainly because, before leaving home, his father warned him to be polite to others and make friends when attending the Martial Arts Conference instead of just staying alone. But if there were any issues, he really couldn¡¯t think of any. After all, he knew nothing about the martial arts world, and even if he wanted to ask questions, he wouldn¡¯t know where to start. Saying he was bored wasn¡¯t wrong. However, Zhou Li looked at his smiling face and didn¡¯t know why, but the more he looked, the more annoying he felt. The initially good impression had long vanished. Who the hell wants to chat with you?! Get away from the old man as far as you can! ¡°Do you have anything else?¡± Zhou Li squeezed out a smile on his face. ¡°I need some peace and quiet for a while.¡± He really wanted to curse out loud. It¡¯s just that the current situation didn¡¯t allow him to attract attention. Zhou Li even nned to teach that troublesome kid a little lesson from the Eagle Body Sect when Chen Sheng encountered him! ¡°Oh, like that¡ ¡® Shi Dazhuang was somewhat disappointed. He seemed oblivious that Zhou Li was already very annoyed with him. ¡°Senior, you rest first, I¡¯lle backter?¡± ¡°Get lost quickly.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± What a nutcase! Watching Shi Dazhuang¡¯s dejected back, Zhou Li rolled his eyes and muttered to himself. Then, he shifted his gaze back to his phone. Seeing that Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t replied to the message, he could only sigh deeply and pray that no one noticed him. Soon, time slipped away quietly in the wait. One hourter. From the side door of the hall, an old man walked in slowly. His face was serious, and his white hair hung behind his head. His body was strong, tall, with muscles making his suit slightly tight. Walking like a dragon and a tiger, his aura of anger spread in all directions. At the moment he appeared, the originally noisy hall instantly quieted down. Even Zhou Li, who was dozing off, quickly woke up. It was the chairman of the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association. Zhou Tairan.. Chapter 95 - 94: Rules and Official Start Chapter 95: Chapter 94: Rules and Official Start Trantor: 549690339 The Headquarters Hall was extremely quiet. After the appearance of Zhou Tairan, the President of the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association, the martial artists who were either chatting andughing or arguing heatedly all fell silent and quickly returned to their seats. Even Shi Dazhuang, who knew nothing about the martial arts world, recognized Zhou Tairan¡¯s fame. This was because, on the walls of the Headquarters Hall, there were photos and stories of the past presidents. Zhou Tairan, 68 years old this year. Thirty years ago, he became the President of the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association at the rmendation of his predecessor. At that time, the martial arts scene flourished all over the country, with numerous disciples belonging to various sects enjoying great influence. They were only superficially epting the policies issued by the Martial Arts Association, and they didn¡¯t care about them at all behind the scenes. Even the local branches of the Association were colluding with the martial arts sects at that time, indulging in shady practices together. The Association¡¯s headquarters was nothing more than a figurehead. When Zhou Tairan took office, the situation had reached its worst stage. But in just one year, Zhou Tairan used an incredibly powerful set of Eight Extremities Boxing. They forced all the sects in Fuhai Province to submit. Do they not listen and obey? Beat them! Do they cause trouble? Beat them! Do they collude inside and outside? Beat them! And then expel them after beating them. Just like that. The Fuhai Province martial arts world, which the two previous presidents of the Martial Arts Association failed to consolidate during their tenure, Zhou Tairan managed to aplish it with brute force in just one year. He was, as Zhou Li had mentioned before, A genius who could possess unrivaled martial prowess even before the Tide Rising Period arrived. With such a person, once the Tide Rising Period began, The speed of progress would be unimaginable for ordinary Qi-sensors. Therefore, When Zhou Tairan entered the hall, the fierce aura like a furious lion instantly swept in, quickly suppressing the uproar in the venue. Even those who were sitting in the front of the hall, the leaders of the major sects who always appeared nonchnt, quietly adjusted their sitting posture to avoid appearing too casual. Back then, when Zhou Tairan swept through the martial arts world of Fuhai, they were among the participants. More urately, They were among the ones who got beaten. Therefore, When they saw Zhou Tairan, they felt the old wounds on their bodies start to ache again. ¡°Greetings, President Zhou.¡± Even so, they still managed to squeeze out smiles. An old man in a robe, with white hair and a youthful face, stood up slightly, nodding to Zhou Tairan in acknowledgment. However, Zhou Tairan only nced at him indifferently, then withdrew his gaze without any intention of responding. Luckily, the white-haired old man was well aware of his temperament and smiled indifferently, not minding too much. Thump, thump. Zhou Tairan walked up to the red cloth table and tapped the microphone lightly twice. Sound waves instantly echoed throughout the hall. His sharp gaze swept over the personnel of all the martial arts sects present. Those who were swept by his gaze stood up to greet him. But Zhou Tairan did not stop for any of them. However, when he saw Zhou Li sitting alone on a wooden chair, a touch of abnormality shed in his eyes that was difficult to detect. Zhou Li quickly turned his head, pretending to look left and right. His poor acting skills were unbearable to watch. Luckily, Zhou Tairan had no intention of exposing him in public. After sweeping his gaze around, he withdrew his eyes. ¡°Let me exin the rules of thepetition.¡± His voice was steady and powerful, full of vitality, and not at all like that of an elderly man approaching his seventies. ¡°You are all familiar with the ssification system of the Martial Arts Association Sects.¡± ¡°Thepetition is divided into two rounds: the first round of advancement, and the second round ofbat.¡± ¡°The first round of advancement willst for one day, from 2 0¡¯clock this afternoon to 2 0¡¯clock tomorrow afternoon.¡± ¡°The Association will divide each level of sects into different residential areas.¡± ¡°Within one day, you can challenge any of the disciples of the same-level sect and they cannot refuse.¡± ¡°In the same level sect, if you win against more than half of them, you can go to the next level area after passing the staff¡¯s verification.¡± ¡°For example, in ss D, if you win against more than 11 sects, you can enter ss C area.¡± ¡°In ss C area, after defeating more than 6 sects, you can go to the ss B area.¡± ¡°Keep fighting all the way to ss A, and after defeating half of the ss A martial arts halls, you can advance smoothly to thebat round.¡± Whoosh- As soon as this statement was made, There was some disturbance in the hall. Although the personnel of the various sects did not dare to be noisy, But the subtle murmur of whispers was heard one after another in the venue. ¡°What a joke.¡± ¡°In just one day, those of us in ss C have to fight nearly 20 rounds, and maintain a winning rate of more than half?¡± ¡°We are not perpetual motion machines, do we not need to recover our strength?¡± ¡°Who the hell came up with this crappypetition rule?!¡± Thump, thump. However, just as these whispers began, Zhou Tairan tapped the microphone again. ¡°Shut up, all of you.¡± His voice was not loud. But it seemed to have a magical power. Where his voice went, all the whispers vanished. Zhou Tairan¡¯s eyes turned to the leader of a ss C sect. ¡°I came up with this rule. Do you have any objections?¡± The man appeared to be in the prime of his life, with a robust figure, and the bronze muscles seemed very intimidating. Just before, he had muttered angrily that this rule was a crappy idea. ¡°No, no!¡± Under Zhou Tairan¡¯s gaze, the man waved his hands repeatedly, with a sheepish smile on his face. His originally tall and sturdy figure shrank, looking asically ridiculous as a shivering little chick. Zhou Tairan withdrew his gaze. ¡°Fair?¡± ¡°I allow people from ss A sects to start on the same level as you, which would be unfair to them. ¡°As a martial artist, what you should think about and do is to win every battle.¡± ¡°If you have no confidence in this, then go back where you came from.¡± ¡°If anyone is still dissatisfied with my rules, you can apply to challenge me one-on-one.¡± ¡°If you win, the rules are up to you.¡± After saying this. Those who met his gaze lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact. Seeing this, he gave a slight nod. ¡°Furthermore, those who fail to advance to the battlepetition won¡¯t be left empty-handed.¡± ¡°If you stop at ss B, after the Martial Arts Conference, your sect¡¯s level will be promoted to ss B, and the treatment will also be improved.¡± ¡°Likewise, if the winning rate in battles for members of ss A and B sects is less than half, they will be automatically demoted.¡± ¡°Alright, the rule exnation is over. Next, staff members will lead you to your respective level residential areas.¡± ¡°Now, I dere.¡± Having said this, Zhou Tairan paused before speaking again. ¡°The Martial Arts Conference officially begins.¡± After saying this, Zhou Tairan left without staying, walking directly towards the side door. Before the participants of the martial arts sects could react, the ss doors of the hall opened. A few staff members filed in. Four of them held signboards in their hands. ss A, B, C, and D. ¡°For those of ss A sects, please follow me.¡± Under the guidance of the staff, sects of various levels left the hall in an orderly manner through the back door, heading to their respective residential areas. In that moment, it felt like being in a primary school sports event. The Eagle Body Sect belonged to the lowest tier, the D Level sects. Zhou Li followed the staff in charge of D Level sects, leaving through the back door of the hall, and heading towards the rear of the Martial Arts Association. The Martial Arts Association upied a vast area. Behind the Association was a training ground asrge as a school¡¯s yground. Several buildings stood on both sides. The people of the D Level sects, in great numbers, headed to thest and oldest building under the guidance of the staff. Zhou Li looked from side to side. At this point, the friendly atmosphere of the martial arts sects had disappeared. Even when walking, they consciously maintained a distance from each other. Some rubbed their hands together, ring fiercely at those by their side. Others had a somber expression, also observing the people around them. Their eyes showed different colors as they thought about something. But some people stood out from the rest. Zhou Li quickly noticed Shi Dazhuang, who was looking around among the crowd as if he was on a trip. Shi Dazhuang also saw Zhou Li and greeted him with an enthusiastic wave. Neurotic! Zhou Li rolled his eyes and hid himself in the crowd, hands folded. However, he didn¡¯t realize that, his solitary figure, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket and swaying as he walked, had already caught the attention of others. ¡°Senior, are you¡ here for thepetition alone?¡± His eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhou Li. ¡°I am Bai Tianyi from the Snake Fist Sect, nice to meet you, senior.¡± Bai Tianyi smiled, with an inexplicable chill surrounding him. Just getting closer, Zhou Li, who was afraid of the cold, shivered immediately. ¡°What do you want?¡± Zhou Li¡¯s heart tightened, but he still pretended to be indifferent, looking at the other party. However, his subtle movements were still noticed by Bai Tianyi. Aslight peculiarity shed deep in his eyes. He guessed correctly. This old man was very weak, possibly not even a Qi-sensor. He was perfect for boosting my battle record. If I defeat him first and make him lose his eligibility topete, I can easily obtain a victory, and others won¡¯t be able to get any more battle records from the old man. Thinking this, Bai Tianyi immediately prepared to probe Zhou Li¡¯s information. ¡°I didn¡¯t pay attention to Senior¡¯s entrance before and failed to visit in time.¡± ¡°I came to apologize.¡± He put on a polite appearance. However, Zhou Li wasn¡¯t a fool. He immediately saw through the other party¡¯s intention. He scoffed. ¡°You think the old man is alone and easy to bully, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Then you¡¯re greatly mistaken!¡± ¡°Bring it on, and I will show you what terror is.¡± Zhou Li¡¯s confident look made Bai Tianyi somewhat bewildered. Could it be that this old man was pretending to be weak? It didn¡¯t seem that way though. Why not ask him which sect he belongs to and figure it outter. With this thought, Bai Tianyi repeatedly waved his hand and appeared humble. ¡°Senior misunderstands. I just wanted to get to know you¡ªI¡® However, before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Li interrupted him with a raised hand. The old man looked arrogant, not valuing anyone equally. ¡°Enough!¡± ¡°If you want toe at me, just do it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Shi Dazhuang, the leader of the Stone Fist Sect.¡± ¡°If you dare toe, I¡¯ll let youe in vertically and leave horizontally!¡± Chapter 96 - 95: Arrival and Attempted Demise Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Arrival and Attempted Demise Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Everyone, there are a total of 24 rooms in this building. In 21 of them, we have put up the names of each of your sects, which you can enter directly.¡± ¡°Each room is divided into an outer and an inner room. The outer room has monitoring provided for your challenge matches. If you fight in any other ce, it won¡¯t count in your scores. The inner room has basic necessities for resting during the night.¡± ¡°However, please note that there¡¯s no time limit for challenges. They can start at 2 0¡¯clock today and end tomorrow afternoon at 2 0¡¯clock. All of you may face challenges anytime, so please arrange your rest time ordingly.¡± ¡°Lastly, please do not damage the items in the inner rooms during your fight, or else you¡¯ll need to be paypensation ording to the price.¡± With that said. The staff member nced at the time. ¡°It¡¯s now 1:50 PM, and there are still 10 minutes before the first round officially begins.¡± ¡°Please wait in your respective rooms before the official start.¡± ¡°Everyone, please enter.¡± Standing at the building entrance, The staff member smiled and gestured for everyone to enter. As soon as the words fell, Everyone rushed into the door. The staff member didn¡¯t follow, but stayed downstairs. Zhou Li intentionallygged behind the group. He¡¯d already noticed. Not only the Snake Fist Sect boy, Most of the people there in the D Level Sect were now watching him. After all, Everyone was a martial artist and had a basic level of discernment. Even though he was barely pretending, his feeble gestures could hardly escape everyone¡¯s eyes. Damn it! Zhou Li clenched his teeth in anger. If he gets beaten up because Chen Sheng didn¡¯t arrive on time, He wouldn¡¯t even let this brat go even as a ghost. With that thought, He took out his phone. He sent Chen Sheng over a dozen messages in a row. Each message had only six words. Come faste faste fast! After sending the messages, Zhou Li pretended to be calm, put the phone in his pocket, and went upstairs with the others. The building had five floors in total. Excluding the first floor, each floor had six rooms. The Eagle Body Sect wasn¡¯t on the second or third and fourth floors. This let Zhou Li feel some relief. If the Eagle Body Sect was on the lower two floors, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to get past unnoticed. Arriving at the fifth floor corridor, Zhou Li nced around and saw cameras on both sides of the corridor. Of the six rooms, only three had signs on the doors, Eagle Body Sect, Stone Fist Sect, and Crane Fist Sect. Zhou Li was about to quickly enter his room to avoid being seen by others as to which sect he belonged to. ¡°Oh, old man!¡± A voice suddenly sounded behind him. Shi Dazhuang was standing at the staircase, waving cheerfully at Zhou Li. ¡°Old man, would you like to have some tea in my room?¡± He smiled and gave a thumbs up, pointing to his room. Bang! However , Zhou Li mmed the door in response. Shi Dazhuang¡¯s waving hand froze in ce. Shi Dazhuang scratched his head, not sure what he did wrong. ¡°Maybe he¡¯s old and tired from walking?¡± Shi Dazhuang also noticed Zhou Li¡¯s physical weakness, But he didn¡¯t have the slightest intention to challenge him. Coming to the Martial Arts Conference was to test his own strength and learn from other martial artists, not to beat up old men. With that thought, Shi Dazhuang could only return to his room for now. He nned to visit Zhou Liter when the time was right. As Zhou Li and Shi Dazhuang both entered their rooms, The fifth-floor corridor quickly fell silent. But this silence didn¡¯tst long. Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of a gong echoed above the Martial Arts Association. All the participants immediately checked the time. The Martial Arts Conference, Officially began. On the Level D Building, Second floor. The moment the gong sounded, Bang! A room door suddenly swung open. Coming out from the inside was none other than Bai Wuyi, who had been targeting Zhou Li from the beginning. The instant he stepped out, he began to look around. Footsteps echoed from the other five rooms on the second floor. It seemed that most people opted for active attacks rather than passively waiting for challenges. After all, For the people in their D-Level area who want to fight all the way to ss A and gain qualification for the promotionpetition, they need to participate in twenty or thirty battles within 24 hours. Every minute is precious. The footsteps in the rooms on both sides are getting closer to the room doors. Bai Wuyi hesitated no more, his body instantly turned into a phantom and charged towards the corridor, running upstairs along the staircase. Whoosh! The white phantom quickly passed through the third floor. Some disciples who had just walked out thought someone was going to challenge them because of a subconscious defensive posture. But they saw the white phantom sh by, without stopping. ¡°Such speed!¡± The disciples were secretly shocked in their hearts. The speed made it impossible for them to see the person¡¯s face clearly, but they could infer from his white training clothes that he was Bai Wuyi from the Snake Fist Sect. This person is dangerous and should not be challenged easily. A few disciples who had just walked out raised the threat level of the Snake Fist Sect in their hearts, and decided to avoid them when challenging. Then, They looked at each other, their eyes full of vignce. No one challenged the people on the same floor but went to other floors. At this time, Bai Wuyi had already reached the fourth floor. His gaze swept over the doors on the fourth floor, but he did not see the words ¡°Stone Fist Sect¡±. It seemed¡ on the fifth floor! Bai Wuyi¡¯s eyes shed. He quickly turned back and ran towards the stairway, preparing to rush to the fifth floor at the fastest speed. However, Just as he entered the stairway, Bai Wuyi saw a young man leisurely walking up from downstairs. The two briefly exchanged nces. The young man had short ck hair, wearing a hoodie and jeans, looking very casual. Bai Wuyi frowned. Who is this? On the way to this Level D Building, he had already memorized all the people in the D-Level sects. But after searching through his brain memories, he was certain that he had never seen this person before. Did he miss it? Or is it the Association staff? Just as Bai Wuyi was puzzled, The young man just nced at him and moved on, stepping up the stairs. Not good! Bai Wuyi secretly felt something was wrong. No matter who this person was, it seemed their destination was the same as his. Could it be¡ someone who also wants to get ahead of others by using that old man from the Stone Fist Sect to brush up theirbat record? There was no time to think more. Seeing the other party was already two steps ahead of him, Bai Wuyi burst into full speed. Whoosh! His body shot out, bringing up a gust of wind. He quickly overtook the young man, heading straight for the fifth floor. In just one breath, Bai Wuyi crossed the stairway between the two floors and sessfully reached the fifth floor. Without hesitation, He rushed into the corridor while looking at the words on the room doors. Crane Fist Sect, no. Eagle Body Sect, no. Stone Fist Sect, found it! Bai Wuyi¡¯s eyes shone brightly. He grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open. He shouted loudly, ¡°I want to chal- Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Wuyi¡¯s face showed some astonishment. Because a wall of people appeared in front of him. Looking up, Shi Dazhuang¡¯s surprised face came into view. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Challenger?¡± ¡°Come on!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have a good fight!¡± As soon as the words fell, Bai Wuyi opened his mouth, about to argue, ¡°No, I might¨C¡± He raised his foot, ready to exit the room. Whoosh! Shi Dazhuang¡¯s rough arm grabbed him. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, let¡¯s talk first.¡± Bang! The room door closed tightly. Meanwhile, Chen Sheng had just reached the door of the Eagle Body Sect. He looked at Bai Wuyi¡¯s retreating figure disappearing beside the door of the Stone Fist Sect, his face puzzled. ¡°What is he doing?¡± ¡°Rushing to see his lover?¡± Chapter 97 - 96: Starting War and Bringing It To The Door Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Starting War and Bringing It To The Door Trantor: 549690339 As for the situation with Bai Wuyi. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t pay much attention to it, as a nce was enough for him to turn his gaze away. Five minutes ago, as soon as he arrived at the association, he contacted the security personnel there through the phone number provided by Zhou Li. However¡this so-called security personnel looked a bit weird. Not only was he dressed casually, hiszy expression didn¡¯t look like that of a security staff. And while he was leading the way, he kept cursing and swearing, using high-level offensivenguage, targeting someone named Lu Yang. ¡°Damn you * *Lu Yang, I have to ** help you * *guide people while you y With the????? money you collected.¡± Chen Sheng listened to this the entire way, feeling that his ears were dirty. Therefore, when they reached the Level D building, Chen Sheng quickly bid farewell to the security guard with a foul mouth and an unhappy expression on his face, and went to look for the room of the Eagle Body Sect. Chen Sheng gripped the door handle and gently turned it. Click. An unusual noise came from inside the door. During the rotation, Chen Sheng felt a slight resistance. But it was negligible. He soon sessfully opened the door handle. Pushing the door open. Whoosh! What came into his view was a dark, skinny arm. The arm was raised high, the loose skin showing the muscle¡¯s outline, indicating the owner was somewhat nervous. ¡°I surrender¡ª Chen Sheng stood at the door. Expressionless, he looked at Zhou Li, who had his arms raised high. Zhou Li was also stunned. He originally thought the person entering would be that kid from the Snake Fist Sect who had his eyes on him. But he didn¡¯t expect it to be Chen Sheng. The awkward atmosphere filled the room. ¡°Ahem!¡± Several secondster, Zhou Li slowly lowered his arms, coughing to ease the embarrassment. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Chen Sheng pretended not to have seen Zhou Li¡¯s surrender gesture. As for Zhou Li, he had lived for so long and had seen all sorts of situations. Such a trivial matter, he simply ignored it. He turned around, acting as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the inner room. ¡°Come in and sit first, I¡¯ll tell you the rules.¡± As they talked, Chen Sheng quickly became curious. He originally thought the Martial Arts Conference would be in the form of a knockoutpetition. But it seemed different. The two entered the inner room together. Chen Sheng¡¯s brow furrowed momentarily. The environment in this room¡can¡¯t really be called terrible. But rather simple. A basic hard bed with a thin quilt. It seems the window was a bit drafty. Even though it was closed now, he could still feel the cold wind from outside constantly sneaking in. There was a tea table in the center of the room, with two wooden chairs and a set of tea-making tools on the table. That was all there was. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t mind such a simple room. But it seems the Martial Arts Conference wouldn¡¯t be over in just one day. With Zhou Li¡¯s old body, if he stayed in this kind of room for two or three days, he guessed it would probably take a month off his life. After scanning the room, Chen Sheng retracted his gaze. He nned to listen to Zhou Li¡¯s exnation of the rules first, then see if they could change rooms. The rules were notplicated. Within a few minutes, Zhou Li had exined the rules for the first round. Having finished speaking, he then tore open a bag of tea leaves. Just now, as soon as the Martial Arts Conference officially started, he had been nervously guarding the door and hadn¡¯t really rested. Now that Chen Sheng had arrived, all he had to do was wait for Chen Sheng to advance in rounds. Having spent this time with Chen Sheng, watching him break through one stage after another, coupled with the increasingly terrifying aura on him, Zhou Li had gotten used to it. If previously, he didn¡¯t think highly of Chen Sheng participating in the Martial Arts Conference, but now, he no longer thought that way. Although he didn¡¯t know what realm Chen Sheng¡¯s strength was in now, at this Martial Arts Conference, even if he didn¡¯t win the championship, it should be enough to crush 80% of the participating sects. Thinking about this, Zhou Li picked up the kettle, ready to pour water for tea. ¡°What are you doing?¡± But at this time, Chen Sheng looked at him strangely. ¡°Making tea, what else.¡± Zhou Li responded with a simr expression. ¡°Do you still want the old man to cheer for you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore, you should learn to be alone¡ª¡± ¡°Stop.¡± Zhou Li was interrupted by Chen Sheng¡¯s wave. ¡°Let¡¯s go downstairs to Level C building directly.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll wait until we¡¯ve moved to a better ce, then you can make tea.¡± As he said this, Chen Sheng prepared to walk outside. ¡°You brat, didn¡¯t you hear what I said just now?¡± ¡°If you want to go to the Level C area, you have to win at least eleven rounds!¡± Zhou Li shouted hurriedly, feeling like his previous exnation hadn¡¯t been heard. ¡°I know.¡± ¡°When we go downstairs, we¡¯ll settle it on the way.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand, looking a bit urgent. From the time they entered the room, although Zhou Li pretended to be energetic, Chen Sheng still noticed that his body was constantly trembling slightly. Hisplexion was also somewhat pale. Now, as time passed, Zhou Li¡¯s physical condition worsened. Although the old man always acted as if he was full of energy, he couldn¡¯t really fool Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. At first, Chen Sheng wanted to persuade Zhou Li to stay put and not take part in the Martial Arts Conference with him. But the old man was as stubborn as a mule. He said he wanted to see Chen Sheng get beaten up and couldn¡¯t miss the opportunity. With no other choice, Chen Sheng let Zhou Li go first and temporarily upgraded his Rabbit¡¯s Breath. The aim was to reach the strongest state in the Martial Arts Conference and quickly win the championship to get the Spirit Seed. However, to his surprise, the rules of the Martial Arts Conference were different from what he thought. In that case, at least, take Zhou Li to a morefortable environment first. That said, Chen Sheng stood up and prepared to walk outside. ¡°Yoohoo!¡± ¡°What a bad attitude you have, little guy.¡± ¡°Alright then, it¡¯s not a bad idea to go with you, and I¡¯ll have a goodugh at you when you get into a difficult fight.¡± Zhou Li grinned. Then he put down the kettle in his hand and prepared to leave with Chen Sheng. But just as they were about to leave, Boom Boom Boom! The door suddenly shook with a series of knocks. ¡°Bai Wuyi of the Snake Fist Sect, here to challenge!¡± Ah well. Chen Sheng was happy. He turned to look at Zhou Li. ¡°Look.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t someoneing to our doorstep?.¡± Outside the door. Bai Wuyi clenched his fist, his eyes filled with hidden rage, and knocked hard on the door. His force was so strong that the part of the door he knocked on was slightly dented. On the corridor, there were three other disciples from different sects with gloomy faces. Stinky old man! Dare to deceive me! It almost made me capsize! As he knocked on the door, Bai Wuyi cursed in his heart. Just now, he was caught off guard when Shi Dazhuang forcibly dragged him into the room. Since Shi Dazhuang had visited the Snake Fist Sect, he knew a bit about them. Although annoyed by Zhou Li¡¯s deception. But such a country bumpkin who didn¡¯t even understand basic martial arts, Bai Wuyi didn¡¯t care about it. He originally wanted to use Shi Dazhuang to improve his record and then slowly find out the sect where Zhou Li was. Unexpectedly, Shi Dazhuang actually had some strength. His arms were as hard as boulders and his moves were even more powerful and heavy. Although both sides didn¡¯t use their full strength, Bai Wuyi knew after a few moves that the opponent was the type he least wanted to encounter. The Snake Fist Sect specializes in cunning snake attacks, known tor their rapid and tricky angles. Strength is not their strong suit. Although Bai Wuyi was not without confidence in defeating his opponent, he didn¡¯t want to consume too much energy at the beginning. Therefore, After a few moves, he decisively admitted defeat. In any case, in the first round of thepetition, it didn¡¯t matter how many games he lost, the key was how many games he could win. Preserving physical strength and preventing injuries were the keys. After forcibly rejecting Shi Dazhuang¡¯s invitation, Bai Wuyi went straight out. He met other three sect disciples by chance. They lived on the fourth floor and were among the few who knew Zhou Li was on the fifth floor. Therefore, After the game started, they discussed together and prepared toe to the fifth floor to brush their records with Zhou Li. But they did not expect to bump into Bai Wuyi who had juste out of Shi Dazhuang¡¯s room. The Snake Fist Sect was famous. Feeling that they were no match for Bai Wuyi, the disciples volunteered to let him go first. Unfortunately, What they didn¡¯t know was, Bai Wuyi¡¯s n was to beat Zhou Li to a pulp and kick him out of thepetition. At this moment, The door opened with the sound of knocking. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡± Zhou Li was the one who opened the door. Hearing Bai Wuyi¡¯s voice, he ran to open the door. With a brilliant smile on his face, he seemed very weing to Bai Wuyi¡¯s arrival. And the moment he saw him. Bai Wuyi¡¯s eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and his heart was full of sneers. Dead old man, showing off even now. Wait till I torture youter, and let¡¯s see if you can still keep that smile on your face. ¡°Senior, I challenge you.¡± There was a faint chill in his voice. ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Zhou Li seemed unable to wait and quickly pulled Bai Wuyi¡¯s hand into the room. Bang! The door closed tightly. The three sect disciples outside the door looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles. ¡°With Bai Wuyi¡¯s strength, it should be quick, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s estimated that it won¡¯t take a few minutes to end the battle, so let¡¯s wait here.¡± ¡°Hehe, other people are probably still looking for this old man from bottom to top. Our luck is really good.¡± Inside the room. ¡°Senior. don¡¯t y any tricks anymore. let¡¯s just¡ª¡± As soon as Bai Wuyi entered the room, he urged, fearing that Zhou Li would y more tricks. However, As he was speaking, He saw Chen Sheng standing in the room. Huh? Isn¡¯t this the young man who came up with me just now? Could it be¡ I was overtaken? As Bai Wuyi was confused, Zhou Li began to introduce with a smile. ¡°This is Chen Sheng, the sect leader of our Eagle Body Sect, and also a participant. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m just here to watch the battle.¡± After speaking, He then smiled and shook his head, retreating to the side. Such as the so-called small person getting the upper hand, just like this. Chen Sheng stepped forward and stood in front of Bai Wuyi. Now, In his normal state, his height was also one meter eight-five, half a head taller than the other party. ¡°Shall we start directly?¡± Chen Sheng looked down at Bai Wuyi and said indifferently. By now, Where didn¡¯t Bai Wuyi know that he had been yed? But he didn¡¯t have the intention to back down because his opponent changed. Looking at Zhou Li¡¯s annoying smile, Bai Wuyi¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. Think by changing someone to fight with me, you can rest assured? No matter who it is today, I will make this Eagle Body Sect directly withdraw from the Martial Arts Conference! Since I can¡¯t personally cripple Zhou Li, let¡¯s cripple Chen Sheng instead. Let¡¯s see if you, the dead old man, can stillugh! With this thought, Bai Wuyi no longer held back his strength. ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± Within the Snake Fist Sect, there was a secret martial art called Snake¡¯s Breath. He, Bai Wuyi, was a genius who had reached the first level in just one month! At least in this Level D Building, he didn¡¯t think anyone would be his opponent. ¡°Crack ¨C crack!¡± Bai Wuyi¡¯s figure suddenly soared, and his body muscles bulged. His pupils contracted slightly, and there was even a hint of amber around them. He licked the corner of his mouth with his long tongue. Bai Wuyi looked down at Chen Sheng with anticipation on his face. The roles of looking up and looking down were instantly switched. In his mind, he was already thinking about how to torture his opponent. ¡°Let¡¯s start directly.¡± ¡°Let me see what you have¡ª¡± Boom! Before he could finish speaking, Debris sttered, and dust filled the air. The whole room shook violently. White ash fell from the ceiling. Zhou Li, who was standing by the side, hurriedly covered his nose and mouth, so he didn¡¯t inhale the dust. He quickly retreated to the inner room. After a few seconds, The dust slowly dissipated. Chen Sheng¡¯s silhouette gradually appeared. He stood in ce, casually brushing off the white ash on his body. Next to him, Bai Wuyi¡¯s skull was deeply embedded in the wall. Cracks like spider webs, centered on his head, spread across half the wall. His body, which had returned to normal, hung limply on the wall, swaying like a ragged puppet.. Chapter 98 - 97: The Art of Clearing Customs and Hospitality Chapter 98: Chapter 97: The Art of Clearing Customs and Hospitality Trantor: 549690339 [Bai Wuyi] [Strength: 7-3] [Agility: 7-7] [Constitution: 7-5] [Skills: Snake¡¯s Breath Level 1] This is Bai Wuyi¡¯s attribute panel. In Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes, It was simply pathetic. Even before the present, Chen Sheng, before leaving the waterfall anding to Haizhou City, had all three attributes reaching around 20. And now, After a day and a half of cultivation and breakthrough, His attributes had grown to an astonishing level. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 26.8] [Agility: 28.8] [Constitution: 26.7] [Skills: Eagle Body State, Rabbit¡¯s Breath Level 2] [Skill Points: 17.6] His basic attributes were all around 25 or 26. When activating the Eagle Body State, he can unleash hisbat power, increasing his attribute values by half. At that point, Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes would reach a horrifying 40 points. If he used Rabbit¡¯s Breath while in the Eagle Body State¡ He could hardly imagine how strong he would be. Since Chen Sheng and Zhou Li had checked into an inn in Haizhou City directly after leaving the waterfall, He was afraid of causing too muchmotion. Until now, he hadn¡¯t tested his full power in an actual fight. Therefore, He was still looking forward to the Martial Arts Conference to see if anyone could force him to use his full strength. At this time, Having dealt with Bai Wuyi, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t linger. He grabbed Bai Wuyi¡¯s leg and tugged it lightly. Bang! The poor wall was struck again, causing even more damage. Shattered stones and dust fell once more. Holding the unresponsive Bai Wuyi, who was as soft as mud, Chen Sheng tossed him into the inner room. ¡°Old man, help him disguise a bit, so you don¡¯t scare peopleter.¡± Chen Sheng said and then walked towards the door. He heard the noises outside clearly. These people had already arrived, So how could he let them leave so easily? ¡°Hey kid, you didn¡¯t kill him, did you?¡± Zhou Li looked at Bai Wuyi, whose face was mangled and head slightly deformed. Though life and death didn¡¯t matter in the Martial Arts Conference, and injury and disability weremon, Killing another sect¡¯s disciple was still rtively rare. Unless there was a deep hatred, most people wouldn¡¯t go that far. ¡°Don¡¯t joke around.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m a pretty nice guy.¡± ¡°He¡¯s just seriously injured.¡± So as long as he¡¯s not dead, it¡¯s just considered serious injury, right?! Upon hearing this, Zhou Li immediately rolled his eyes. But he quickly went to the bed, picked up the quilt, and covered Bai Wuyi with it. Outside the room, three sect disciples were waiting expectantly for the door to open. They had also sensed the shaking earlier as martial artists, and inside the Haizhou¡¯s ss D Martial Arts Halls, Snake Fist Sect was somewhat famous. When Bai Wuyi first broke through with his Breathing Technique, his master had taken him to various sects of the same level for exchanges. These three belonged to those sects. Therefore, when they sensed the vibration, they subconsciously thought that Bai Wuyi was fighting and causing themotion. At this moment, they were slightly terrified and relieved. Bai Wuyi¡¯s strength was truly horrifying, causing such a bigmotion. And the old man from Eagle Body Sect didn¡¯t seem to be simple, making Bai Wuyi use such a level of strength. Had the three of them challenged first, they might have been capsized in the drainage ditch. Luckily, They had given the opportunity to Bai Wuyi, which not only earned them a favor but also weakened the old man¡¯sbat power. Now was the perfect time to participate! As they thought about it, They heard a click, And the door suddenly opened. Standing in front of the three was a tall young man with an indifferent expression. This was Chen Sheng. Huh? Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be an old man? Where did this young mane from? Before the three could react, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze quickly swept over their faces. Finally, Itnded on the oldest of the three. He had a scruffy beard and looked to be in his thirties. ¡°Are you here to challenge?¡± Chen Sheng asked. ¡°I am Feng Qiang, a disciple of Kongxing Boxing Gym.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know about the previous senior¡¡± Feng Qiang was the oldest of the three. As he spoke, he tried to look past Chen Sheng into the room. But before he finished speaking, He was grabbed by Chen Sheng and dragged into the room. ¡°Hey, hey, wait a minute¡ªI¡® ¡°I can only attend to one at a time.¡± ¡°Just wait a bit; it¡¯ll be over soon.¡± After saying this, Bang! The room door closed instantly, Leaving the two bewildered sect disciples looking at each other, unsure of what was going on. Who was this young man? Where was Bai wuyi? Wasn¡¯t the old man supposed to participate in the Eagle Body Sectpetition? Before they could figure it out, Bang! A muffled sound came from inside the room. Immediately after, There was a cry of pain. Was someone being beaten up? The two looked at each other, seeming to reach a consensus. Then, Both of them simultaneously leaned in to listen, trying to figure out what was going on. However , they only heard a vague murmur of conversation, unable to make out any specific content. Just as the two were about to move forward and get closer, ¡°Haha, thank you for going easy on me!¡± A heartyughter suddenly rang out from inside the room. It was none other than Feng Qiang, who had been pulled into the room earlier. The next second, There was a click. The door opened again. Feng Qiang walked out of the room with a satisfied smile on his face. ¡°Good, good, I¡¯d love to have another match with Brother Chen sometime.¡± He cupped his hands in a salute towards Chen Sheng. Then he walked out of the door. He didn¡¯t know why, but his steps seemed unsure. ¡°Brother Feng, did you¡ win? One of them asked in doubt. So quickly? Could it be¡ that the people of the Eagle Body Sect, despite their size, are all show and no substance? ¡°Haha¡ Haha¡.¡± ¡°Brother Chen¡¯s strength is extraordinary, he¡¯s¡ very strong.¡± ¡°I just¡ barely won.¡± Feng Qiang turned his head away, touching his nose and smiling. Just that, for some reason, he suddenly gasped in the middle of hisughter. Moreover, his speech seemed slightly short of breath. ¡°Who¡¯s next?¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze fell on the remaining two. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± One of them, a short but thick-armed man, stepped forward. He was an old acquaintance of Feng Qiang and had no doubt about what he said. ¡°I am Ding San, disciple of the Ground Lying Boxing Gym, please teach me!¡± As soon as the words fell, Chen Sheng immediately stepped aside. ¡°Come in.¡± Bang. The door closed once again. ¡°Brother Feng, what the hell is going on?¡± ¡°Why do I have the feeling that something is weird?¡± The remaining person noticed. Ever since Feng Qiang walked out of the room, he had been leaning against the wall, with the corners of his eyes twitching non-stop. It seemed as if he couldn¡¯t stand without the support of the wall, which was quite odd. However, Feng Qiang didn¡¯t even get a chance to speak. Bang! Whispers. ¡°Haha, thank you for going easy.¡± Click. The door opened. Ding San, who had just entered, walked out again in less than a minute. He was also unsteady on his feet, as if he couldn¡¯t stand properly. ¡°Brother Chen is indeed skilled, I must ask for your guidance again sometime.¡± An all too familiar scene yed out once again. And this time, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t even need to say anything. Ding San and Feng Qiang exchanged nces, and tacitly understood each other. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing¡ª¡± They forcefully supported their own bodies and directly carried thest person into the room. Bang! Sound vanished. Three minutester. ¡°Ouch, my The threey in the corridor, their gasps echoing back and forth. ¡°Brother Feng, you¡¯re not being honest.¡± ¡°Brother Ding, same to you.¡± ¡°I hate you both.¡± Thest voice even had a whining tone to it. Since he was thest one, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t even bother to pretend. From the beginning, he just pped the man to the ground. Compared to Ding San and Feng Qiang, the man¡¯s cheek was swollen, making him look like half a pig head. ¡°Still seven more to go.¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng walked out of the door, stepped over the bodies of the three men, and didn¡¯t even nce at them. Zhou Li followed behind him with his head held high and his hands folded, like a rooster. ¡°Is everyone alright?¡± He looked at the trio with a smile on his face. Without waiting for their answer, he continued talking to himself. ¡°You don¡¯t need to be too disheartened.¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s not that you¡¯re too weak, it¡¯s that our Eagle Body Sect Leader is too strong.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, please inform the staffter to take the person in there away.¡± Zhou Li pointed at Bai Wuyi, who was covered in nkets inside the room. ¡°Let¡¯s go, old man. I¡¯ll take you to the ss C area.¡± ¡°Coming,ing.¡± Having said that, he hurriedly followed Chen Sheng. The two went down to the fourth floor. ¡°Wait for me for two minutes.¡± Chen Sheng threw down a sentence and headed towards a room on the fourth floor. He knocked on the first room. ¡°Hello, challenge.¡± After that, he went right in. Bang! The door opened, And he moved on to the next room. ¡°Hello, challenge.¡± so ne repeatea, And soon, An indifferent Chen Sheng and a proud Zhou Li appeared at the ground floor. Behind them, wails echoed from the Level D Building. In less than ten minutes, Chen Sheng had defeated eleven people, meeting the requirements for promotion to the ss C area. This was only because many people were not in their rooms. Otherwise, the time could have been even shorter. ¡°Hello, we¡¯re going to the ss C area.¡± Chen Sheng came to the staff member at the ground floor. Huh? The staff member had a bewildered expression on his face.. Chapter 99 - 98: The Strength of Class C and Wu Ran Chapter 99: Chapter 98: The Strength of ss C and Wu Ran Trantor: 549690339 Upon hearing Chen Shengs words, the staff member looked startled.bender Subconsciously, he raised his arm and nced at his watch. He hadnt traveled through time. It was less than 20 minutes before the Martial Arts Conference officially started. Did this guye down shooting with a machine gun?! With a half-believing and half-doubting mood. The staff member began to contact the monitoring room. In each area of A, B, C, and D, there is a camera set up in every room. Also, each area has a dedicated monitoring room to observe the yerspetition status. They have to contact the monitoring room to verify the truth of Chen Shengs words. At this time. In the monitoring room of the D Building. Xiao Qiang Ge, the staff member, sat in a chair with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping coffee and checking his phone. Every dozen seconds, he would nce at the surveince screen in front of him. However, the monitoring screen in the D Building was peaceful and quiet. Even if there was a battle to observe, there were only two or three cameras. For Xiao Qiang Ge, who was only 24 years old and had eight years of security experience, it was nothing at all. It wasnt that he wasnt responsible. In reality, there were originally four people in charge of the D Buildings monitoring room. However, after Chen Shengs continuous battle. Half of the people in the whole D building were lying down dead. The other half, who realized something was wrong, were hiding, waiting for Chen Sheng to leave beforeing out to challenge those injured martial arts disciples. Therefore, Compared to the neighboring three rooms, those in charge of the D Building were extremely idle. Only Xiao Qiang Ge was left, and the other three went out to smoke and see the situation in the other monitoring rooms. Holy crap, this guy is so strong that he can fight the Wushang from Shui Xing Boxing Gym equally and even slightly overpower him. And this is his third Martial Arts Hall challenge, and he hasnt stopped in-between. Thats nothing; mine is an even stronger expert. This Wu Ran of the Xingwu Gym seems to havee out of nowhere. Its only been 20 minutes, and hes already challenged four Martial Arts Halls and is about to be promoted to ss B. There are so many monsters in this Martial Arts Conference. Hearing the shouting from the neighboring ss C monitoring room. Ignorant of the genuine monster. Xiao Qiang Ge shook his head and chuckled. Ding-a-ling- At this moment, The phone in the monitoring room rang. Xiao Qiang Ge picked up the phone directly. Hello, monitoring room. Yes, hes already met the promotion requirements. Im just fooling around with you because Im bored. The four of us were just watching him. He did indeede down from the fifth floor, sessfully winning 11 rounds. Thats it, bye. With a click. The phone hung up. Xiao Qiang Ge looked up at the upper right corner of the monitor. In the screen, Chen Sheng, looking harmless to humans and animals, was standing downstairs waiting for the staff to verify the news. It was impossible to see how terrifying he was in the fight just now. The real monster is just about to enter the arena. He whispered to himself. He couldnt help but look forward to the shock of the people in the neighboring room when they saw this monsters performance. At the foot of the D Building. The staff, looking at the disconnected phone in his hand, still seemed somewhat dazed. Could it be true? Looking at Chen Sheng, he felt as if his perception of the martial arts world, formed over many years, waspletely shattered by his opponents onught. He knew some people were strong. But he didnt know that someone could be this strong. Although there was no explicit age restriction forpetitors in this Martial Arts Conference. But there were unwritten rules. The participants of each sect were mostly disciples. Sect leaders personally entering thepetition were not unheard of but very rare. And among martial artists of the same generation, although there were genius-like existences who were unreachable to others. But for someone like Chen Sheng, who could deal with his peers with a single p It was unheard of for him. Can we go now? At this moment, Seeing that the staff member didnt speak for a long time, Chen Sheng had to ask again. Ah uh! Please follow me. Upon Chen Shengs inquiry, the staff member quickly came to his senses. As he gestured with his hand, he stepped forward without daring to dy any longer. Chen Sheng followed closely behind. Five minutester. The three of them walked straight through the practice martial field behind the association and arrived at the C Building. Hmm? Below, Chen Sheng frowned and looked up. From the outside, The C Building and the D Building seemed to have no difference. Would the rooms also be the same? Are the rooms in the C Building the same as in the D Building? Chen Sheng turned his head to look at the staff member behind him. There are only 12 sects in the C Building, fewer than in the D Building. If the environment was as simple as the D Building, he wouldnt bother going up. He could let Zhou Li wait downstairs for a few minutes, then go up and randomly choose six lucky spectators, and then go directly to the ss B area. If the four areas were all as simple Chen Sheng intended to advance at the fastest speed. Then he would take Zhou Li to the inn and wait for tomorrowspetition to begin. Its not the same. Apart from ss D, sses A, B, and C are all renovated dormitory buildings. The interior space isrger than the D Building, and there is also a small kitchen and heating equipment. Walking all the way, The staff member also noticed that Zhou Lis body seemed to not be in good shape. Now it was approaching winter. Whenever a cold wind blew, the others body would tremble. Therefore, when exining, he specifically mentioned the heating equipment.. Chapter 100 - 98: The Strength of Class C and Wu Ran 2 Chapter 100: Chapter 98: The Strength of ss C and Wu Ran 2 Trantor: 549690339 Im really sorry. The association originally intended to treat participants from all four areas equally, but due to the tight construction schedule, we didnt have time to refurbish Level D building, so The staff member shows an apologetic expression. Normally, he wouldnt exin so much to an ordinary disciple of a sect. But Chen Sheng in front of him and his belonging to the Eagle Body Sect, will certainly gain momentum after the martial arts conference, and will have to deal with the association in the future. Building a good rtionship in advance will make futuremunication easier. Hearing this, Chen Sheng nods. Thats fine. Where is our room? Its already been arranged for you, the first room on the second floor corridor. As the words fall, Lets go, old man. Chen Sheng calls for Zhou Li to go upstairs together. Two minutester, the two enter the room. Comfortable. As soon as they enter the room, Zhou Li unconsciously raises his head to enjoy it. Perhaps its because the staff had arranged everything in advance, the temperature of the room had already been raised to afortable level for the human body when they arrived. This makes Zhou Li, who has been cold for a long time, feel like he hase back to life. He looks around. The environment in Level C building is indeed much better. Its a two-bedroom, one-living roomyout. But the living rooms furniture has been removed and converted into a practice field. There are three doors on both sides. rlkvvo of the doors lead to separate rooms. And one is the kitchen. Old man, go rest for a while. Ill call the rider to get the medicine from the inn. Ill cook some medicinal soupter. Now that the spirit medicine is all used up, without it, Chen Sheng can only temporarily substitute the Vitality Soup. With Zhou Lis body, drinking one dose of soup every day can slightly alleviate the pain. Kid, when are you nning to go out and challenge again? Whats the rush? Chen Sheng fiddles with his phone and says without raising his head. You can rest for a while, and we can leave either tonight or tomorrow morning. Fine, Ill go to sleep for a bit. Wake me up tonight. Zhou Li nods, not declining. Both of them are not too worried about advancing to the fightingpetition. With a soft bang, Some time has passed since thepetition started, and its just now when the first wave of battles is over. Many people choose to stay in their rooms to recover after finishing their fights. Therefore, nobody ising to inflict pain on themselves. Having nothing to do, Chen Sheng sits alone in the empty space of the practice martial field. He calls up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 26.8] [Agility: 28.8] [Constitution: 26.7] [Skill Points: 17.6] The martial arts conferencests for two days. Although Zhou Lis physical condition is somewhat troublesome, for Chen Sheng, its not bad news. From now on, until the end of the first round, Chen Sheng has one day left. He feels, he should be able to increase the skill points enough to upgrade Rabbits Breath. With Chen Shengs current physical attributes, the increase rate of attributes with spirit medicine would be much higher. But without spirit medicine, it doesnt mean it cant be upgraded, just that attribute growth will be weaker. If the opponents he encounters in the martial arts conference are all weak, then hell wait to upgrade after obtaining the spirit seed. But if he encounters strong opponents in the martial arts conference, Chen Sheng ns to directly upgrade to ensure that there wont be any idents. Thinking about this, Chen Sheng slowly moves into the Rabbits Breath stance. His knees bend downwards as his body slightly crouches, giving an overall appearance of a forward thrusting pose. Chen Shengs leg muscles bulge slightly, tightening his originally loose trousers. Inhale Exhale- Between each inhale and exhale, the muscles of his body are trembling slightly. Inside Chen Shengs body, a drum-like heartbeat rhythm slowly echoes in the battlefield. At the same time, Level B building. Bang! A body ms heavily against the wall, creating a circr pit on the wall behind him due to the impact. With a retching sound, fresh blood spurts from his mouth, sshing onto the ground. This person slowly slid down from the wall and fell to the ground. He tried to stand up, propping himself up with his arms on his knees. But the intense pain continuouslying from his heart prevented him from exerting any strength. Soon, his arm went limp, and he fell t on the ground. The body, which had swelled due to entering the Breathing Method state, quickly shrank like a balloon with a hole. Xiao Hui! Not far away, an old man wearing a Tang suit changed his expression and rushed over to check on the condition of his disciple. After a thorough inspection, he sighed in relief upon confirming that his disciple had only fainted from injury. Then, he looked up at his disciples opponent. His face, extremely displeased. Xingwu Gym. I will remember. In the future, if I have a chance, I will definitelye and learn. The old man in the Tang suit said this through gritted teeth. However, neither Wu Ran nor Li Xingwu took his threat seriously. Master Zhou, during martial artsbat, injuries are inevitable. Instead of threatening us, you should teach your disciple well and enhance his strength. After the Martial Arts Conference, our Xingwu Gym will always wee your visit. Li Xingwu wore a faint smile on his face. The implication, was that the disciple of the old man in the Tang suit was too weak, and as his master, his teaching ability was also inadequate. You The old man in the Tang suits face flushed red. However, the fact that his disciples skills were inferior is undeniable. In the end, he did not pay any more attention to them. Carrying his disciple, he headed towards the inner room. Seeing this, Li Xingwu looked at Wu Ran. His originally proud expression quickly turned to concern. Ah Ran, do you want to rest for a while? Ever since the martial arts conference began, Li Xingwu thought he had high expectations for Wu Ran. But Wu Rans performance, greatly exceeded his expectations. The two of them fought all the way from Level C Building to Building B. Along the way, Wu Ran defeated opponents in an overwhelmingly powerful manner within three or two moves. He did not even rest in the middle. Now that they had reached Building B, Wu Ran won another match. Li Xingwu was worried about his disciples excessive consumption of energy After all, there were still more than 20 hours left until the end of the first round. There was no need to rush. No need. They are too weak. I didnt consume much of my energy. Wu Ran directly rejected Li Xingwus suggestion. Looking at his own fist, a trace of irritation shed in his eyes. Weak. Too weak. These people were pathetically weak. Why were all the opponents he encountered along the way so weak and vulnerable? They didnt even deserve for him to use his Breathing Technique.bender Wu Ran was desperate to be stronger. But in turn, he found himself unable to find an opponent who could test his limits. He urgently desired a vigorous battle that would allow him to fully exert all his abilities. Therefore, at this moment, Wu Ran no longer wanted to linger in the ss B area. He just wanted to quickly reach the ss A area. See if there were any worthy opponents among those well-established sects that would require his full strength. Lets go, Master. Wu Rans face was indifferent. He turned around and walked towards the door, preparing to challenge the next opponent. Behind him, the more Li Xingwu looked at his disciple, the more delighted he felt. A gratified smile appeared on his face. As for whether Wu Ran would rank first in the Martial Arts Conference, he had no more doubts. As for his other two disciples When thinking of the deceased Li Qian and missing Guo Yang, Li Xingwus mood became somewhat low. Dont worry, Xiao Qian, no matter who killed you, I will make them pay! Ah Yang, whether your disappearance is rted to Chen Sheng or not, I will investigate thoroughly. If you are dead, I will make sure the murderer dies and is buried with you! Thinking of this, Li Xingwu looked at Wu Ran, and a glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes. All his hopes now rested on thisst remaining direct disciple.. Chapter 101 - 99: Upgrade and Second Perfection Chapter 101: Chapter 99: Upgrade and Second Perfection Trantor: 549690339 Night. Chen Sheng remained in the living room, assuming the posture of Rabbit¡¯s Breath. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 28.2] [Agility: 29-5] [Constitution: 28.1] [Skill Points: 22.1] Now, without spirit medicine, his upgrading speed has slowed down. Spending one day, if only relying on the Vitality Soup. He can at best raise all attributes by three to four points. Luckily, After an afternoon of training. Both strength and constitution increased by 1.4 Agility increased by 1.7 Skill points sessfully reached enough to upgrade the Rabbit¡¯s Breath to the perfection level. ¡°Hoo¡ª¡± The tall body jumps up from the ground andnds lightly. In normal state, Chen Sheng has precise control over his strength. He went to the kitchen. The gurgling sound constantly came from therge stew pot on the stove. At the bottom of it, arge amount of herbs were ced, and their potency was continuously released and dissolved in water under high temperatures. During the afternoon training, Chen Sheng pondered. He decided to upgrade Rabbit¡¯s Breath. Although his current strength is terrifying, There are always better people in this world, and geniuses and unparalleled masters everywhere. If he fails in apetition because he didn¡¯t upgrade in time¡ He would have to wake up in the middle of the night, pping himself twice. Besides, While he was training in the afternoon, he suddenly had a new idea. If sessful, perhaps his training efficiency could be improved again even in the absence of spirit medicine. Thus, After cooking a bowl of Vitality Soup for Zhou Li in the afternoon, He put all the remaining six portions of Vitality Soup materials into the pot, preparing for the uing breakthrough. As for overdoing it? Not possible. Chen Sheng¡¯s current physical attributes are almost capable of downing Vitality Soup like water. At this thought, Seeing the Vitality Soup was almost done, Chen Sheng stood aside and waited. When the herbal soup in the pot concentrated to about one-third, He directly turned off the stove. Guduluu- Without any hesitation, Chen Sheng picked up the soup bowl. Chen Sheng returned to the living room and called up the panel. [Rabbit¡¯s Breath Iv2:319/20000] [Skill Points: 22.1] Focus. Upgrade! The words Rabbit¡¯s Breath Technique blurred for a moment. Next Second. [Rabbit Form] [Skill Points: 2.4] Boom! Arge amount of information and muscle memory were continuously generated. An intense pain swept across his entire body in an instant. Every muscle in Chen Sheng¡¯s body experienced a rapid tearing and rbination process at an extremely fast speed. The internal organs were hammered and metabolized repeatedly, constantly transforming into a stronger state. Chen Sheng clenched his fists, his brows knitted. His eyes suddenly shed with a hint of scarlet, gradually taking over his entire pupil. He gritted his teeth through the pain and assumed the Rabbit¡¯s Breath position again. Fortunately, he had experience upgrading Eagle¡¯s Breath before, so he didn¡¯t suffer as much as the first time. Otherwise, Zhou Li would have been awakened by his scream. Crack..Creak! Amid the crisp sound of bones, Chen Sheng¡¯s body kept growing taller. In a blink of an eye, he soared to a height of nearly three meters. The muscles on his body surface were constantly expanding. Only the leg muscles expanded most dramatically. Just in terms of muscle dimensions, it wasparable to the waistline of an adult man. Massive chunks of rock-hard muscles not only had a strong sense of power but also brought unparalleled visual impact. Crack¡Creak! The crisp sound came again. But this time, It didn¡¯te from Chen Sheng. It came from the floor beneath him. As he upgraded and practiced Rabbit¡¯s Breath, Chen Sheng¡¯s body also underwent rapid strengthening, apanied by pain. His legs unconsciously exerted force on the ground beneath him. At this point, Chen Sheng¡¯s feet had already sunk deep into the ground. With the continuous exertion of force, Cracks spread out all around him. Fortunately, no one was on the first floor at the time. The Martial Arts Association staff were all standing outside the building. If not, Chen Sheng would have had a hard time exining why he damaged the venue without sparring. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng quickly withdrew his strength. Bang! Wood chips flew everywhere. He extracted his feet and walked over to an undamaged empty space to continue practicing. The transformation of his body was still in progress. Just that¡ Chen Sheng looked up at the wall. There was a camera in the corner of the battlefield. His current appearance would certainly attract the attention of the Association staff. Fortunately, He didn¡¯t mind. He only nced at it and then looked away. The room was too small to amodate his body. He had not shown too many strange things, just simply practiced his skills and entered the ultimate form of Breathing Technique. Chen Sheng did not believe that there was not a second person in the entire Martial Arts Association who had perfected their Breathing Technique. As long as there was someone, what he was showing now would not be too bizarre. Well¡ that should be the case without a doubt. Far away. Inside the monitoring room of Level D Building. Compared to the exmations echoing in the monitoring room in the afternoon, The monitoring room at this moment was shrouded in a bizarre silence. There were three monitors in the room, each doing their own thing. One was pouring water, but the water in the cup had already overflowed, and he was unaware of it. One was eating, but the food in his mouth had not been chewed for a long time. And another was slightly opening his mouth, staring at the monitor on the screen like a fool. But without exception. The gazes of the three were all focused on the same ce. It was the monitoring screen where Chen Sheng¡¯s room was. The silence continued to envelop them. Itsted for several minutes. Only then did they graduallye to their senses. ¡°This isn¡¯t human, right?¡± ¡°What¡ is this monster?¡± ¡°Should we¡ call the police?¡± The three looked at the screen, at the muscle giant whose head was about to touch the ceiling and whose lower limbs were extremely thick. Their hearts had already been upied by fear and horror. Especially just now, when Chen Sheng looked at the camera. Facing that oppressive gaze. Their hearts were beating so fast that they felt as if their hearts would burst out of their bodies the next second. They had no doubt. If this giant stood in front of them. They might be scared enough to wet their pants directly. This has nothing to do with courage. In fact, very few humans can remain calm when facing a terrifying creature that far exceeds their cognitive level. Fear is the real instinctive reaction. ¡°Don¡¯t call the police yet.¡± The security staff who was pouring water was the first toe back from their fear. He didn¡¯t care that his palm was already wet, but he stumbled to the table and picked up the phone. ¡°Let¡¯s inform the Association first and see what this is.¡± ¡°If we call the police rashly, it might cause a big mess.¡± As he spoke. Beep, beep, beep, beep. The sound of buttons being pressed continued to ring. But his hands were shaking too badly. Several times, he pressed the wrong number. ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± ¡°Exhale¡ª¡± After several deep breaths. It took a while for the turbulent fear in his heart to gradually subside. Only then did the staff sessfully dial the Chairman¡¯s office number. This was a phone call that could only be made in the event of a major emergency. Therefore, The phone only rang once, and it was immediately connected. ¡°What happened?¡± A deep and low voice came through the phone. The imposing aura, even through the screen, could be felt. In the past, Hearing this voice always made the security staff somewhat timid. But today, The presence of this voice brought a sense of relief to their fearful minds. Swallowing some saliva. The security staff trembled as they spoke. ¡°Chairman, this is the monitoring room of Level C Building.¡± ¡°Found a monster.¡± Five minutester. The three security staff stared nervously at the monitor. Although the muscle giant seemed to have no abnormal movements, he just stayed in the room obediently, seemingly practicing his skills. But that body was just too intimidating. Just by staring. It made their hearts feel uneasy. Step. Step. At this moment, There was a steady and powerful footsteps outside the door. Hearing this sound, the three of them immediately showed joy on their faces. One of them went forward quickly. Just when the sound reached the door, the door opened directly. ¡°Where is the monster you were talking about?¡± Upon entering the monitoring room, Zhou Tairan went straight to the point. Hearing this, The security staff quickly zoomed in on the image of Chen Sheng¡¯s room to the maximum. ¡°It¡¯s him.¡± ¡°We noticed him before. This¡ person, in less than twenty minutes, he directly advanced from Level D Building to Level C Building.¡± ¡°And not long ago, he suddenly turned into this appearance.¡± Listening to the security staff¡¯s exnation. Zhou Tairan looked up. The next second. His pupils shrank instantly. Is this¡ A Breathing State that can only be cultivated after the Breathing Technique has reached its Consummate State! Chapter 102 - 100: Upgrading and Clearing Class C Chapter 102: Chapter 100: Upgrading and Clearing ss C Trantor: 549690339 Breathing Technique. It was a means for ancient humans to strengthen themselves in the face of threats. It was said that humans of that era believed they were born from the same source as heaven and earth, with infinite potential. Therefore, In the era beforenguage was born. People had already begun to research the infinite potential hidden within the human body. Later, At a certain time. The Breathing Technique was born. It could grant strength to the originally weak human body. It was also from that era that, with the power brought by the Breathing Technique, human tribes rapidly spread and climbed to the top of the food chain one step at a time. The Breathing Technique has been widely circted among humans ever since. Unfortunately, With one low tide period after another. Many precious and powerful Breathing Techniques have been lost in the torrents of history. Most of the remaining Breathing Techniques nowadays, Are created by theter generations, observing the various creatures of today. As for the Breathing State, It is the highest realm of the Breathing Technique¡¯s title. It can excavate arge amount of potential in the human body at once and transform it into realbat power. And it can also strengthen the Cultivator¡¯s specific direction, giving them all sorts of magical abilities in the liberated state. At this moment. Zhou Tairan looked at Chen Sheng in the screen. ¡°Which sect is he from?¡± He asked the security personnel beside him. ¡°Chairman, he is the Eagle Body Sect¡¯speting disciple.¡± Upon hearing this name, Zhou Tairan¡¯s expression suddenly seemed to understand. Eagle Body Sect, Of course, he knew. A declining D Level Sect. Speaking of which, Zhou Tairan and Zhou Family Vige actually have some connections. His ancestors came from Zhou Family Vige. When Zhou Tairan was young, he would go back to the vige every year with his parents to worship his ancestors. Decades ago, When the Zhou Family Vige tragedy urred, he also conducted an investigation and met Zhou Li at the time. After a few exchanges, The two had some rtionship. Unfortunately, After investigating, Zhou Tairan found nothing, so he had to give up. He had also tried to persuade Zhou Li to give up the investigation. But Zhou Li refused to give up. Later, he heard that this kid, who originally had poor martial talent, had contracted a severe illness because of the investigation. Now his life is already short. Earlier, When Zhou Tairan saw Zhou Li in the association hall, he had already keenly noticed the other party¡¯s physical condition. He was originally somewhat regretful. After all, back then, the Eagle Body Sect of Zhou Family Vige was quite famous. After Zhou Li¡¯s death, it will probably bepletely cut off. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the young man with extraordinary talent in the screen in front of him was Zhou Li¡¯s disciple. In this case, At least the heritage of the Eagle Body Sect would not be severed. Thinking about this, Zhou Tairan waved his hand, signalling the security staff to withdraw the screen. ¡°He looks like this because he has cultivated some special technique.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry.¡± Hearing this, The three security staff looked at each other, Feeling relieved but also a little shocked at the same time. Such a terrifying and oppressive appearance was actually due to cultivating some technique? They had worked in the Martial Arts Association for so many years and had seen manv Martial Artists. But Chen Sheng¡¯s existence still far exceeded their imagination. With that in mind, One of the boldest ones had his thoughts immediately activated. These staff had opened a gambling pool privately. Each person could bet on thepeting disciple they were optimistic about, and eachpeting disciple was limited to one bet. As long as the other party wins the championship, they can reap a huge harvest. He had not ced a bet before because he had not found a strong enoughpeting disciple. But now¡.. ¡°Now that the Chairman has said so, we feel relieved.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you.¡± At this moment, The security personnel quickly apologized. Now that it¡¯s confirmed that Chen Sheng is just an overly strongpeting disciple, He¡¯s going to quickly ce a heavy bet on him, lest someone else takes the lead. Therefore, he was eager to get rid of Zhou Tairan. However, As for these little tricks under the table, How could Zhou Tairan not know? But he just nced at them indifferently. ¡°I don¡¯t care what little game you are ying.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t disturb the Martial Arts Conference because of it, understand?¡± Hearing this, The security personnel¡¯s hearts shuddered. ¡°Please rest assured, Chairman, I will definitely work strictly to ensure there isn¡¯t a single mistake.¡± He immediately stood up straight, shouting with a serious face. ¡°As long as you know.¡± Zhou Tairan¡¯s face did not change, and he nodded lightly. Afterwards, He walked out of the monitoring room. Upon arriving outside, A middle-aged man in a suit was waiting at the door. He was Zhou Tairan¡¯s assistant, Zhou Qiming. ¡°You go and get three¡ no, five strains of spiritual medicine and send them to the Eagle Body Sect at the Level C Building.¡± ¡°However, you don¡¯t need to hurry to go now, go after two hours.¡± Originally, he only wanted to send three strains. But when Zhou Tairan thought of Chen Sheng, He felt that he deserved the title of genius since he mastered the Breathing Technique at such a young age. Why not send some favors? ¡°Yes.¡± The assistant never questioned Zhou Tairan¡¯s decisions. Once he received the order, he left immediately. Zhou Tairan also went downstairs together. But he didn¡¯t leave immediately. Seeing his assistant¡¯s back gradually blending into the night He raised his head slightly and looked towards the direction of the Level C Building. A tinge of regret shed in his eyes. ¡°Such a genius.¡± ¡°If he had a better environment and resources.¡± ¡°His future would not be limited to this.¡± ¡°But now¡ what a pity.¡± Having said that, Zhou Tairan withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.. Chapter 103 - 100: Upgrading and Clearing Class Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Upgrading and Clearing ss As for what was happening in the outside world, Chen Sheng had no clue. At this moment, he was focused on the changes in his body. The tearing sensation in various muscles gradually weakened. The pressure within his internal organs also slowly dissipated. However, his body was still in the process of bing stronger. Time continued to move forward. Two hourster. Chen Sheng opened his eyes. He felt the surging sense of power filling every part of his body. He carefully got up from the ground, Fearing that if he wasn¡¯t careful, he¡¯d identally damage something around him. His massive body slowly rose. The shadow on the ground instantly grew. Chen Sheng¡¯s head almost touched the ceiling. ¡°Inhale¡ª Chen Sheng tried to take a breath. In that instant, Air rushed into his body like a torrent,pressing rapidly on its way in. The speed was so fast and the force so strong That you could even hear a faint whistling as the airpressed. Now Chen Sheng, With his basic attributes greatly improved, re-entered his breathing state. He had be more powerful than ever before. Whoosh! Standing still, With a thought, Chen Sheng lifted his muscr right leg, which was wrapped in overwhelming force, and whipped the air in front of him. Crack! The airpressed and exploded instantly, with a loud bang. The sound, Was as if someone had set off a bomb. The sound echoed throughout the sparring area. Chen Sheng¡¯s ears twitched. He immediately heard noises and exmations from the adjacent rooms as well as the rooms above and below him. Centered around Chen Sheng¡¯s room, martial artists asionally poked their heads out, looking around to see what had happened. And all this happened, While Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t even exerted himself much at all. He had no doubt, If that kick of his just now hadnded on a person, It could likely cut the enemy into two. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng once again reined in his movements. After carefully testing his current strength, he exited the rabbit form. He then called up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 31.5] [Agility: 33-7] [Constitution: 31.2] [Skills: Eagle Body State, Rabbit Body State, Profound and True Martial Arts level o] [Skill Points: 13.1] Strength increased by 3-3 Constitution increased by 3.2 Agility increased by 4.2 Without the aid of spirit medicine, the attribute increase brought by Rabbit¡¯s Breath was slightly inferior to the first upgrade of Eagle¡¯s Breath. Fortunately, This still allowed Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes to break through the 30 points thresholdprehensively. And now, possessing the ultimate forms of two breathing techniques, Each of which could raise Chen Sheng¡¯s basic attributes by half upon activation, If both were activated at the same time, His current attributes¡ would double! However , As he was currently within the Martial Arts Association, he didn¡¯t dare unleash both breathing states at the same time. It wasn¡¯t that he was worried others would find out, But rather, he was concerned about causing unnecessary chaos. Therefore, Chen Sheng needed to find a secluded ce to verify his hypothesis. That is¡ whether his body could adapt to the immense pressure of cultivating Profound and True Martial Arts with both breathing states stacked on top of each other. If he could, His rate of progress would increase yet again. so, Taking advantage of Zhou Li still sleeping, Chen Sheng nned to clear the four areas first and then advance to the tournament. After that, he would take Zhou Li to a secluded ce outside of the Martial Arts Association to test his hypothesis. Thinking of this, He didn¡¯t waste any more time. He immediately got up and headed towards the door. But then, Chen Sheng¡¯s expression changed. There was someone outside the door. Was it someoneing to challenge him? With a click, The door opened, But contrary to Chen Sheng¡¯s expectation, The person standing outside wasn¡¯t apeting disciple from other martial arts sects. It was a middle-aged man in a suit. It was Zhou Tairan¡¯s assistant, Zhou Qiming. ¡°Mr. Chen, how are you?¡± ¡°This is a gift from the Chairman for you.¡± ¡°Wish Old Zhou good health.¡± Having said that, Zhou Qiming handed over the wooden box in his hand. Chen Sheng took the wooden box unconsciously, feeling a bit puzzled. From the president of the Martial Arts Association? Does he know Old Zhou? However, Zhou Qiming seemed to have no intention of exining. ¡°Goodbye. ¡± Having delivered the gift, he nodded slightly. Without waiting for Chen Sheng to speak, he turned and left directly. After he left, Chen Sheng opened the wooden box, inside which were five strains of spirit medicine, quietly emitting a faint glow in the dim night. Generous! Although somewhat baffling, it did not prevent Chen Sheng from appreciating Zhou Tairan¡¯s generosity. Five strains of spirit medicine at once. In this way, he can give Old Zhou a spirit medicine soup today, which can relieve his condition a little. Chen Sheng immediately returned to the room. He did not directly brew the spirit medicine soup but put it in the room first. Only when the spirit medicine isbined with ordinary herbs can a spirit medicine soup be sessfully obtained. Boiling spirit medicine in in water will reduce its effectiveness by more than half. Chen Sheng nned to wait until after the Martial Arts Association meeting. Once again heading out, he looked at both sides of the corridor. There are only 12 martial arts sects in the Level C Building. That¡¯s half less than the Level D Building. Considering that some people have advanced to ss B today, and others have advanced from ss D, there are now about eleven martial arts sects in the Level C Building. Enough for Chen Sheng to advance. He immediately came to the door of the next room. Knock, knock. ¡°Hello, challenge.¡± Click. The room door opened. The one who opened the door was a young man with a shaved head. He looked up and down at Chen Sheng. Seeing that there seemed to be no injuries on him, a trace of contempt shed in his eyes. In his opinion, this is probably someone who got lucky and hasn¡¯t been challenged. Now he wants to take advantage of other people¡¯s declining state and seize the opportunity to enter. The buzz-cut young man sneered. ¡°If you think, I¡¯m like the others-¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± However, before he finished speaking, Chen Sheng impatiently waved him off. ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go through the process of showing off and getting pped with you.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just start.¡± Saying that, without waiting for the buzz-cut young man to react, Chen Sheng directly grabbed his shoulder and pushed him into the room. A few secondster. Bang! ¡°Disciple! ! ! ¡± Amid the panicked cries in the room, Chen Sheng pushed the door open again. His expression remained unchanged, as if he had just done something insignificant. Looking through the gap in his body into the room, the buzz-cut young man just now was already lying on the ground, unconscious. ¡°One.¡± Chen Sheng counted silently. He continued walking towards the next sect without stopping. The same scene was repeated in the Level C Building. Five minutester, Chen Sheng appeared downstairs with an indifferent expression. ¡°Please take me to Building B.¡± After an afternoon, the association¡¯s staff had be familiar with these powerful individuals in the Martial Arts Conference. Therefore, Chen Sheng¡¯s appearance did not surprise them too much. After verification, they were ready to take Chen Sheng to the next area. ¡°By the way, I remember you shouldn¡¯t be the only one participating, right?¡± At this time, the staff noticed that only Chen Sheng hade out. ¡°No rush, I¡¯lle back for him soon.¡± The staff were somewhat baffled, but at Chen Sheng¡¯s urging, they took him to Building B first. Another five minutes. They arrived at Building B. ¡°Mr. Chen, your Eagle Body Sect¡¯s room is- I¡® ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that.¡± ¡°Just wait for me downstairs, I¡¯ll be right down.¡± Huh? The staff were dumbfounded.. Chapter 104 - 101: Passing Through and Physical Condition Chapter 104: Chapter 101: Passing Through and Physical Condition Trantor: 549690339 Before the staff member could understand the meaning of Chen Sheng¡¯s words, He saw Chen Sheng go straight upstairs. In the blink of an eye. His figure appeared directly on the second floor of Building B. Afterward, The staff member saw. Chen Sheng came to a door. Knock knock. He calmly knocked on the door. ¡°Challenge. ¡± He didn¡¯t even bother to say hello. Enter. Bang! ¡°Disciple! ! ¡± Apanied by the dull impact and exmations, Chen Sheng walked out of the room and quickly went to the next one. Repeat. What kind of being was this?! The staff member watched as Chen Sheng went in and out of the rooms, taking no more than ten seconds each time. He felt as if his brain had crashed. It was like he was just going in and out to say hello. Little did he know, This was not the Level C Building, nor the Level D Building. Those who could live in Building B were often strong, established sects. Each of their disciples had made a significant name for themselves before the Martial Arts Conference. And these names were all earned through hard-fought battles. No matter what, The staff member was unwilling to believe that Chen Sheng could defeat his opponents in just a few seconds, Especially when challenging consecutively. Even though it was now evening, Those truly powerful sect disciples had already advanced through the rounds in the afternoon. But none of them could do this. However, As the staff member watched Chen Sheng challenge the sixth sect and start walking downstairs, That strong premonition in his heart had reached its peak. He swallowed his saliva. He picked up the inte. ¡°Hey, monitoring room.¡± ¡°Please help me check thebat situation of Chen Sheng from the Eagle Body Sect.¡± Without any pause, A response came from the other end of the inte. ¡°Six matches, all won.¡± ¡°Total time spent¡ three minutes.¡± Of these, two and a half minutes were spent walking. The trembling voice from the other side of the inte, Clearly reflected that the person in the monitoring room of Building B felt the same as him now. Hearing the definite answer, His heart was shocked, His eyes burned with an unprecedented passion. ¡°Hey, about the bets over there¡¡± ¡°Forget it, he¡¯s already been bet on.¡± ¡°Then 1¡¡± ¡°No, bets can¡¯t be canceled.¡± Heartache!!! ! The staff member suddenly felt a little short of breath. Not long after thepetition had started in the afternoon, He had first noticed Wu Ran from the Xingwu Gym, Whose strength was equally impressive, fighting all the way from the Level C Building to the Level B Building without a single loss. Each battle was resolved in just a few moves. He believed that Wu Ran was definitely the champion seed yer and had ced an early bet on him. Not long ago, Wu Ran had sessfully advanced into the second round. The staff member thought he would definitely make a fortune, So he bet his entire month¡¯s sry. But now, Chen Sheng suddenly emerged out of nowhere. He felt, He probably won¡¯t make a fortune, Instead, he would lose a lot. I hate it!!! Where did this monstere from?!!! ¡°Are you okay?¡± At this point, Chen Sheng returned to the ground floor, He saw the staff member who had led him here standing alone, clenching his teeth and looking angry. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit puzzled. As soon as his voice rang out, The staff member quickly came to his senses, Only to see Chen Sheng had alreadye to his side. He shivered unconsciously. ¡°NO, no promem.¡± ¡°Good, take me to the ss A Building.¡± ¡°Alright, this way please.¡± Because the strongest group had already advanced and left the Martial Arts Association, preparing for tomorrow¡¯s matches, And Chen Sheng had enough strength to crush those sect disciples, even when entering the Breathing State, with only a few attribute points, Therefore, Even in ss A, No one could stop Chen Sheng. Half an hourter, Chen Sheng sessfully met the requirements for advancing to the next round. ¡°Mr. Chen¡ shall I go and report your information now?¡± The staff member who had apanied him all this time watched Chen Sheng cautiously. His words had unconsciously changed to a more respectful address. Chen Sheng had revealed only the tip of the iceberg of his real strength. This was enough to shock ordinary people. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s face remained indifferent. After all, this result was normal for him. ¡°So, can I leave the Martial Arts Association freely now?¡± ¡°No problem, you just need to arrive at the association hall by 2 0¡¯clock tomorrow afternoon.¡± ¡°If you have trouble finding a ce to stay, you can directly stay in any area, and we will mark it for you so that other sects won¡¯t challenge you.¡± ¡°But please note that you cannot interfere with others¡¯petitions.¡± Having said that, The staff member turned and jogged away in the distance. Watching the figure gradually disappearing into the night. Chen Sheng turned his gaze back. Next, he needed to find a ce to test his current full strength. By the way, he would also try to see if he could sessfully cultivate Profound and True Martial Arts while in the double-breathing state. But before that, He still had some things to do. Two hourster. Level C Building, Eagle Body Sect Room. Dong dong. ¡°Old man, wake up.¡± In the room, Zhou Li was sleeping like a dead pig. It was only after Chen Sheng¡¯s repeated calls that he finally woke up faintly. Underneath his eyelids, a pair of old eyes were extremely turbid. Starting from the time at the waterfall, Zhou Li¡¯s sleep had been getting longer and longer. Until now, if Chen Sheng didn¡¯t wake him up, he could even sleep for 16 or 17 hours a day. ¡°Are you going to continue the challenge?¡± Rubbing his eyes vigorously, the turbidity in Zhou Li¡¯s eyes gradually disappeared. ¡°Let¡¯s go, old man, I¡¯ll cheer you on.¡± Saving that. he cot uD from the bed and began to Dut on his cotton-Dadded jacket. ¡°Never mind.¡± ¡°I have already cleared the challenge.¡± Hearing this, Zhou Li¡¯s not fully awake mind was suddenly unable to react. He looked up at the window in a daze. The night was hazy. The full moon hung high. My mother wouldn¡¯t have slept until the evening of the next day, would she? It felt like a basin of cold water pouring over his head, and Zhou Li¡¯s mind instantly sobered up. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t tell me the Martial Arts Conference is over?¡± He quickly asked Chen Sheng. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Chen Sheng snapped his fingers in front of Zhou Li. ¡°If you could sleep that long, you probably wouldn¡¯t be able to wake up.¡± ¡°Stinky kid!!!¡± Zhou Li was so angry that he jumped up and down like thunder. He wished he could jump up and smash Chen Sheng¡¯s knees. ¡°You only know how to bully the elderly all day!¡± ¡°You just wait.¡± ¡°After I die, I promise to squat in your toilet every day!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let you have peace even when you poop!¡± Chen Sheng ignored Zhou Li¡¯s threat. ¡°By the way, the Martial Arts Association¡¯s chairman has given you five strains of spiritual medicine.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already bought some herbs and put them in the pot with the spirit medicines for you.¡± ¡°You can watch the fire on your own, I¡¯m leaving.¡± With that, Chen Sheng prepared to leave the room. ¡°Hey, kid¡ª¡± Bang! Zhou Li, who was behind him, was about to say he wanted to go with him. But before he could finish speaking. The sound of the door closing had alreadye from outside. Zhou Li¡¯s hand suddenly stopped in midair. After a long time, It slowly fell down. He just sat quietly by the bed, hunched over with his shoulders drooping. The cold moonlight passed through the ss window, casting on his stooped figure. Zhou Li¡¯s shadow seemed increasingly deste and bleak. It waspletely different from the nonchnt look on his face when he faced Chen Sheng. Sigh He let out a deep sigh. Unbuttoning his down jacket, he revealed his emaciated upper body. The ck skin clung tightly to his bones, even appearing somewhat concave. It was so that Zhou Li could even see the outline of his heart. He could see the heart that had been extremely weak for a long time, with a nearly imperceptible beats. ¡°How ridiculous, how ridiculous.¡± Zhou Li shook his head andughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°Lonely for most of my life.¡± ¡°And now that I am about to die, I suddenly need someone to apany me.¡± ¡°Pathetic.¡± ¡°Truly pathetic.¡± The voice grew smaller and smaller. Zhou Li lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Outside the door. As soon as Chen Sheng stepped out, he subconsciously looked back at the room. ¡°Dead old man, behave.¡± ¡°With me around, you won¡¯t die.¡± He murmured to himself. Zhou Li¡¯s physical condition had been getting worse and worse, and Chen Sheng had already seen it clearly through his Eye of True View. The reason he didn¡¯t let Zhou Li follow was also because this old man would only be weaker if he caught a cold. He was determined to win the Martial Arts Conference Champion. By then, Not only would he be able to speed up his own growth, but Zhou Li¡¯s body would also improve. With that in mind, Chen Sheng quickened his pace and walked towards the exit of the association.. Chapter 105 - 102: Test and Terrifying Strength Chapter 105: Chapter 102: Test and Terrifying Strength Trantor: 549690339 Martial Arts Association Hall. Since it was night, only security personnel responsible for patrolling and two staff members responsible for leveling up the contestants were left in the front hall. Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng came to the small table where the staff members were and reported his name. For each ascending contestant, the other party had already known them well in advance. Okay, Mr. Chen, you cane and go as you please. But please be sure to attend by 2 0clock tomorrow afternoon. The staff handed out a pass for Chen Sheng to enter tomorrow. Thank you. Chen Sheng simply thanked, took the pass, put it into his pocket, and turned to walk out the door. Whoosh Apanied by the automatic opening of the ss door. Chen Sheng stepped into the outside world. All kinds of noisy sounds ensued. But they didnte from around the Martial Arts Association. The location of the Martial Arts Association was not remote. Chen Sheng looked around. The source of the noise was at the end of his line of sight, on the brightly lit road. It was amercial street. The busiest time during the night. Countless pedestrians and vehicles were passing by, withughter and horns ringing in the ears. Compared with Chen Shengs silent Martial Arts Association behind him, it seemed like two different worlds. People in themercial street would never have guessed. Several hundred meters away, in the deserted Martial Arts Association, lived a group of martial artists who could be regarded as superhumans. Chen Sheng was slightly moved. A month ago, he was just a member of the crowd. When he first acquired the panel, he mostly wanted to use the Golden Finger to make his body better, so he could live a leisurely retirement life. But peoples fate always shifts unexpectedly in unexpected directions. Unconsciously. It seemed that he had be increasingly distant from the world of ordinary people. Fortunately He didnt hate this change. Chen Sheng lowered his head and looked at his body. Underneath his body now was a power that ordinary people could hardly imagine. But he was still far from satisfied. The more he had power. The more he wanted more power. He wanted the power to choose his destiny and even to control it. To crush all the enemies who stood in his way without mercy. To let the people around him not suffer any harm. Protection and ughter. They do not conflict. At this moment. A sense of understanding shed in Chen Shengs face as he seemed to have a premonition. His inner heart seemed to be undergoing a miraculous transformation. The part of him that had once been an ordinary person was gradually being discarded. In its ce, Was the mindset of being a wielder of power, the mindset a strong person should have. Thinking about this, Chen Sheng walked down the stairs of the Association hall. He came to the side of the road. There were no pedestrians around. Only cars were driving back and forth on the road next to him. He took a step forward, heading towards his destination. At first, Chen Shengs speed was slow. Like a night jogger. But gradually, His speed got faster and faster. From a slow jog to a fast run. Finally, His feet moved continuously, blurring the view. Swish! Chen Shengs figure turned into a phantom, shooting forward like a cannonball. If a pedestrian passed by at this moment, They would only feel a fierce wind sweeping by and have no idea that it was someone running. Feeling the strong wind blowing on his face and the rapidly passing scenery on both sides, Chen Sheng grinned, feeling a thrill in his heart. It had been too long since he had fully exercised his strength. Crack.. Crack! The explosion of bones sounded from within his body. Chen Shengs figure constantly rose in height, bulging. The muscles in his lower limbs swelled to a shocking extent. Bang! With one push, the ground cracked instantly. The huge body leaped up to a height of several meters and eventuallynded on the roof of a residential building. But Chen Sheng didnt even stop. As soon as he hit the ground, he jumped again and leaped towards the next building. In the dark night, A giant, nearly three meters tall, jumps from rooftop to rooftop. If any nearby residents saw it, they would exim and try to take pictures with their phones. But in the blink of an eye, the giant would disappear, making many people doubt if they were seeing things. Ten minutester, An abandoned construction site. Boom! A huge ck shadow fell from the sky, stirring up a dusty haze. Chen Sheng slowly walked out. The huge body, with every move, has an enormous momentum. As he walks, there is a thudding sound, like a heavy object falling to the ground. Therge palm like a Pu Fan slightly pped, dispersing the smoke and dust in front of him. This was the location that Chen Sheng found when he used his phones navigation to go out and buy medicine at night. Due to its remote location, not even homeless people could be found here. It was perfect for him to test his strength. Having thought about it. Chen Sheng finally stopped at an empty plot ofnd. Inhale Exhale-__ He didnt exit the rabbit form. Instead, he closed his eyes. He kept taking deep breaths, adjusting his own state. Half a minuteter. Eagle Body State, activated. Thud! Thud! Thud! The dull heartbeat sound, like a drum, kept ringing from within Chen Shengs body. The sound got louder and louder. Echoing continuously in the empty, abandoned construction site above. Following that- Cracking sounds erupted within his body, like firecrackers going off in a row. Chen Shengs already huge stature swelled even more rapidly. His tall form continuously grew. Three meters. Three and a half meters. Finally- He reached a full four meters before finally stopping the ascent. His already massive muscles swelled again, like boulders stacked up all around his body. Green tendons bulged on the surface of Chen Shengs skin, looking terrifying. Ugh He roared like a wild beast as his forehead veins throbbed. With the Eagle Body State revision, Chen Shengs muscles trembled continuously, gradually shifting towards a direction thatbined agility and strength. The bulky musclespressed even more. Both arms appeared as if cast from steel, gradually turning ck and blue. As they approached the forearm, the deep color became more intense. Until the hand itself, which was pitch ck like ink. It took about a full minute. Only then were the changes to Chen Shengs bodyplete. Exhale-_ Releasing his full strength for the first time. His entire body was filled with an explosive sense of power. He even had a faint feeling that he could destroy everything. Standing in ce. Chen Sheng looked ahead at the unfinished building a short distance away. At this time, it no longer appeared so massive, and even seemed like a house model. Lowering his head. Chen Sheng examined his own body. He estimated his height to be at least four meters. Each muscle group was like chiseled stone, distributed proportionally around his body like a golden ratio. Both power and agility werebined, without hindering his movements, perfectly resembling a Greek sculpture. This was Chen Shengs current form when unleashing his full strength. Although it took a lot of time for him to change because it was his first time entering this state, Chen Sheng believed that- As long as he practiced a few more times, He would be able to unleash his strength within a matter of seconds. After examining his body, Chen Sheng lifted his head and faced forward. Next it was time to test his current strength. Feeling the seemingly endless power within. Even Chen Sheng didnt know how strong he was in this state. He raised his arms. The dark blue muscles under the moonlight had a metallic sheen. Then- Chen Shengs eyes focused. He swung his arms forward with great force. ng! Palms collided. A sound like shing metal and iron erupted instantly. The next second- A fierce wind raged!bender Countless bricks and tiles were swept up by the wind within ten meters of Chen Shengs body and hurled towards the building in front of him. A massive amount of dust rose into the sky, enveloping nearly half of the abandoned construction site. Amid the smoke and dust. Roaring sounds were continuous. It took at least ten seconds before the sounds gradually slowed down. The smoke and dust slowly dispersed. All of the scattered debris on the ground in front of Chen Sheng had been cleared away. Innumerable brick and tiles had left the building in front of him riddled with holes, barely holding together. Yet this- Was only the result of Chen Sheng pping his hands. Such destructive power. Even Chen Sheng himself hadnt expected it. He looked at his own arms, his eyes gleaming with excitement. This was the feeling- The unmatched power he wanted! And this- Was far from his limit.. Chapter 106 - 103: Conflict and Upcoming Start Chapter 106: Chapter 103: Conflict and Uing Start Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Afternoon, 1:50pm. Martial Arts Association, Level C Building. Kid, the duel is about to begin, are you ready? Zhou Li walked out of the room. Compared to his weakness a few days ago, he had considerably improved hisplexion had turned rosy after taking the Spirit Medicine Soupst night. As he spoke, his breathing was evidently more robust. Although the bowl of Spirit Medicine Soup didntpletely cure him, the abundant Qi contained within it was enough to temporarily revitalize Zhou Lis weak body. At this moment, he looked at Chen Sheng on the field. Chen Sheng was in a very bizarre pose. His body was close to the ground, with his four limbs supporting his body and his back highly elevated. His right leg was extended to the limit, looking as though it was not part of his body but a separate part. Apanied by Chen Shengs long and powerful breaths, the muscles on the surface of his body were constantly bulging and contracting with each breath. Meanwhile, it seemed as if there were raging waves within his body, with faint tidal-like soundsing from him. The heartbeat within him was like a heavy hammer, echoing with a strange rhythm across the entire sparring field. Just listening to this sound made Zhou Li feel as if it was getting difficult to breathe. His heart felt exceedingly heavy. If his body hadnt recovered a bit, just being near Chen Sheng would be enough to cost him his life. Zhou Li didnt know where Chen Sheng had learned this strange cultivation technique. But since returning herest night, he had been obsessed with it. Apart from eating and sleeping, he had barely stopped practicing. Master, Master! Stop chanting! Zhou Li covered his ears, feigning extreme pain. As soon as his words fell, the sound that echoed in the sparring field disappeared. Chen Sheng turned his head around. Did drinking the Spirit Medicine Soup make you crazy? Do you think youre funny? He looked at Zhou Li with a speechless expression. Heh heh. Zhou Li squinted his eyes, chuckled unenthusiastically, and said, Since Im in a good mood today, I wont bother with you, kid. Having said that, he walked towards Chen Sheng with his hands behind his back, swaying his head from side to side. Hurry up. I want to see you get beaten up. Having said that, Zhou Li patted Chen Shengs back, urging him to get up quickly. However, there was only a thud, and the feeling in his palm was as if he had struck not a person, but a steel te. Hiss Zhou Lis palm turned red, and his facial features were squeezed together due to pain. Did you install steel tes on your back?! Chen Sheng ignored Zhou Lisints. He slowly got up, and while walking towards the room to change his clothes, he called out his panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 35] [Agility: 36.7] [Constitution: 34.6] [Skill Points: 23] Strength increased by 3-5 Agility increased by 3 Constitution increased by 3-4 The training effects of Profound and True Martial Arts greatly exceeded Chen Shengs expectations. Due to worrying about Zhou Lis health, Chen Sheng hadnt taken advantage of the spirit medicine given by Zhou Tairan to assist in training. But even so, the minimal taste testingst night,bined with this mornings training, had brought about an improvement that was almost equivalent to one full days results in the past for Chen Sheng. By this rate, even without spirit medicine, Chen Sheng could at least increase his attributes by five to six points per day. Previously, while practicing Eagles Breath with no spirit medicines help, he could at most improve by two to three points a day. Profound and True Martial Arts doubled Chen Shengs growth rate. If he used spirit medicine, his speed would increase even more. This made Chen Sheng look forward to the upgrades Profound and True Martial Arts would bring to him. With that in mind, Chen Sheng closed the panel. He took out a new set of clothes and quickly changed into them. These were clothes he had asked the personnel from the inn to bring over when he had requested the herbs from the rider the day before. After changing his clothes, Chen Sheng returned to the sparring field. He looked at Zhou Li, who was clenching his hand from just hitting Chen Shengs back and blowing on it continuously. Lets go, old man. Let me show you what being strong is all about. Afternoon. 1:55 pm. Martial Arts Association Hall. There were no changes in the halls furnishings since yesterday. However, there were fewer chairs on the field than there were yesterday, and they were ced at equal intervals close to the center. Li Xingwu and Wu Ran were both there in their respective seats. Wu Ran sat quietly in his chair with his eyes closed, adjusting his state.bender Most of thepeting disciples around him were doing the same. The atmosphere on the field was quiet and solemn. Those seated here had sessfully advanced from the first round and were qualified to participate in the second round of thepetition, representing their martial arts sects. All these sects were at least ss B. Only Xingwu Gym was ss C. This was a normal phenomenon. After all, therger the sect, the easier it was to attract talented disciples and provide resources for their cultivation. However, Li Xingwus face showed no fear. He had faith in Wu Ran. He believed that with his disciples natural talent, these people wouldnt catch up even if they had countless resources backing them. As he looked at Wu Ran, he felt reassured seeing the calm,posed demeanor of his student and nodded approvingly. Then, he looked around. There were only five minutes left now. The martial arts sects that were qualified to participate in the second round of thepetition were all in attendance. Li Xingwu counted. Seven in total. Not too many, not too few. The second round would likely end in just one afternoon. And the name of the Xingwu Gym would shine brightly on the stage.. Chapter 107 - 103: Conflict and Upcoming Start_2 Chapter 107: Chapter 103: Conflict and Uing Start_2 Trantor: 549690339 With that thought, A smile unconsciously surfaced on Li Xingwu¡¯s face. It was as if the martial arts conference champion was already in the bag. But at that moment, A noisy sound suddenly erupted from the rear door. ¡°Hurry up, quit lollygagging in such a sluggish way.¡± ¡°What, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?¡± ¡°We still have five minutes, enough even if you were to roll there.¡± ¡°You roll if you want, the old man won¡¯t.¡± The sound of two people arguing came from a distance, growing clearer and clearer. One sounded old, the other youthful. Could it be that another martial arts sect had advanced to the second round? Li Xingwu furrowed his brows, looking towards the direction of the rear door. For some reason, He had the feeling¡ that these voices seemed familiar, like he had heard them somewhere before. Soon enough, The voices grew closer. rl¡¯V0 figures, one tall and one short, finally appeared in the hall. It was Chen Sheng and Zhou Li. As they entered the hall and saw many people already seated, The two nced at each other, And tacitly closed their mouths simultaneously. Next, Chen Sheng looked around, preparing to find an empty space for Zhou Li to sit. However, Though they were silent, Someone else couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. Bang! The chair under him toppled over. Li Xingwu abruptly stood, pointing at Chen Sheng, his face filled with shock and disbelief. ¡°How are you here!¡± His instinctive shout instantly drew the attention of most in the room. In response to Li Xingwu¡¯s interrogation, Chen Sheng¡¯s expression was unperturbed, and he seemed not to want to answer. ¡°Master Li,¡± He simply nodded slightly in greeting. Out of respect for Li Chenghu, he did not intend to engage in a conflict with this deranged old man. After all, strictly speaking, The man did not particrly harm him moreover, The threats to himself, Guo Yang and Li Qian, had already taken care of each other underground. As long as this old man did not keep pestering him, he wouldn¡¯t bother. With these thoughts, Chen Sheng had found an empty space and was about to lead Zhou Li forward. However¡ Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want to cause trouble, But Li Xingwu wasn¡¯t willing to let it go. Whoosh! Regardless of the gazes from all around, he rushed up directly, attempting to stop Chen Sheng. It had only been three or four days since theirst meeting. Li Xingwu was no fool, he could naturally see the changes in Chen Sheng¡¯s body. Now, even in his normal state, Chen Sheng¡¯s height was 1.9 meters, with a body full of bulging muscles. Such a massive change in such a short period. Add to that Chen Sheng¡¯s appearance here, it meant that he had not only participated in the martial arts conference but also sessfully advanced to the second round. It seemed that every time he saw this kid, his strength would far exceed the day before. When he was a disciple of the Xingwu Gym, this trend was already apparent, butter it became increasingly exaggerated. Which implies¡. During the time Guo Yang disappeared, Chen Sheng might have already had the capability to threaten him. And even on the day of Li Qian¡¯s death¡ Whoosh! Stopping in front of Chen Sheng, Li Xingwu lifted his head, staring straight into Chen Sheng¡¯s indifferent face. An awful guess suddenly emerged in his heart. Even though there wasn¡¯t any evidence, He had an intensely strong hunch. Both Li Qian¡¯s death, And Guo Yang¡¯s disappearance, Could very possibly be rted to Chen Sheng! ¡°Do you have anything to do with Li Qian¡and Guo Yang?¡± Li Xingwu stared closely at Chen Sheng. Like he wanted to see through Chen Sheng¡¯s soul with his eyes. Just like he did that day in the ward. However¡ To Li Xingwu¡¯s disappointment, Chen Sheng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all. It was as if he hadn¡¯t heard those two names before. Not only that, Chen Sheng suddenly took a step forward. A huge shadow engulfed him from above, The intense sense of pressure made Li Xingwu¡¯s breath catch in his throat. Was this really the same man his son had brought home a half month ago? As doubts filled his mind, Li Xingwu became more certain of his spection. Just half a month ago, he was a beginner in martial arts, with no talent, a weakling. But now, he was able to give him such a strong sense of threat. This Chen Sheng was definitely not ordinary! Just as Li Xingwu affirmed his inner thoughts. Chen Sheng¡¯s voice echoed from above. ¡°Master Li.¡± ¡°You are blind and foolish, and your disciples are malicious and perverse.¡± ¡°Their being beaten to death is something very normal.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to meet the same fate, I have a piece of advice for you.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes were calm and deep, like an ancient well. However, for some reason, Just by looking into these eyes, Li Xingwu¡¯s heart involuntarily felt a chilly fear, as if he was in an ice cave. ¡°Don¡¯t, in front of me,¡± ¡°Buzz like an irritating fly.¡± As soon as his words fell, A ghastly aura surged forward in an instant. The intense threat stimted Li Xingwu¡¯s skin, causing goosebumps to rise all over. The expression on his face, froze in an instant. After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he ignored whatever reaction Li Xingwu might have. He gave Zhou Li a look and headed straight towards an empty seat. Li Xingwu wanted to stop him in his heart. But his body didn¡¯t obey, and he stood still in his ce. At this moment, p. A hand gentlynded on Li Xingwu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Master, you rest first.¡± ¡°Whatever you have to say, let¡¯s wait until the Martial Arts Conference is over.¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Li Xingwu turned his somewhat stiff neck and looked to his side. ¡°Okay¡ okay.¡± He didn¡¯t refuse, but simply sat back down in his chair. The expression on his face was still somewhat dazed. Others might not understand why Li Xingwu reacted like this. Only Li Xingwu himself knew. At the time when Chen Sheng was talking to him, The surging ghastly aura was almost enough to swallow him whole. This made him feel as if he was a tiny chick, and standing before him was a predator at the top of the food chain. It seemed like the slightest movement on his part, Would spell his end on the spot. Seeing Li Xingwu¡¯s reaction, Wu Ran¡¯s eyes shed with intrigue. Fascinating. This is too fascinating. Half a month ago, he was an ant that could easily be crushed. But within half a month, he was participating in the second round of the Martial Arts Conference alongside him. Wu Ran looked at Chen Sheng¡¯s retreating figure. This was the first time he paid attention to this weakling whom he had never cared about before. And also the first time, he was curious about Chen Sheng. He, who pursued strength, Was desperate to know the secret of Chen Sheng¡¯s rapid progress. Luckily, Up next, Was the perfect opportunity. With this thought in mind, Wu Ran returned to his seat. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly. It seemed, The Martial Arts Conference today would not be too boring. And perhaps, He might even have the chance to unleash his full strength.. Chapter 108 - 104: Drawing Lots and Combat Groups Chapter 108: Chapter 104: Drawing Lots and Combat Groups Trantor: 549690339 Wu Ran¡¯s gaze was naturally felt by Chen Sheng. During theirst encounter, Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes were inferior to Wu Ran¡¯s. He was also curious about how much Wu Ran had improved over the past few days. Thus, As soon as he sat down, he activated the Eye of True View. In an instant, For everyone in Chen Sheng¡¯s field of vision, an attribute panel appeared above their heads. He looked at Wu Ran first. [Wu Ran] [Strength: 16.3] [Agility: 16.7] [Constitution: 16.1] [Skills: Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound IV2, Crane Form] It must be said, that in just a few days, Wu Ran¡¯s attributes had indeed soared significantly. Of the two breathing techniques he had mastered, one had already reached perfection. His attributes had reached an overall score of sixteen, even catching up with his originally weak agility attribute. It was unknown how many spirit medicines Li Xingwu had given him over these days. Such terrifying attributes, really made people marvel. They were almost half of Chen Sheng¡¯s. After just one nce, Chen Sheng retracted his gaze, not paying too much attention. He looked around. One attribute panel after another shed before his eyes. But to Chen Sheng¡¯s surprise, not one of these people had attributes surpassing Wu Ran¡¯s. Although there were three or four disciples from various martial arts halls who had mastered multiple breathing techniques, without exception, their breathing technique levels remained at IV2. So far, only Chen Sheng and Wu Ran had upgraded their techniques to perfection. However, just as Chen Sheng was about to retract his gaze after observing everyone, two more people entered the hall from the back door. Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes sharpened. Surprisingly, one of them was an acquaintance. ¡°Patriarch Xu, long time no see, how have you beentely?¡± ¡°My disciple was defeated by your disciple Chen Liangst time, and I¡¯m still upset about it. I¡¯m nning to have another match at the Martial Arts Conference.¡± In Haizhou City, the Rabbit Fist Sect was rtively well-known. Patriarch Xu Yang had already challenged more than half of the martial arts sects in Haizhou City with his Rabbit Fist, winning more often than not, even before the Tide Rising Period, making him quite famous. His eldest disciple, Chen Liang, simrly traveled around and fought in Haizhou City previously. His performance was impressive. In Haizhou City, apart from the Eight Extremities Boxing Gym, Flying Fish Fist, and Kongming Fist sect, the three old sects, the rest of the martial arts halls were all defeated by Chen Liang¡¯s hands. Therefore, Chen Liang was considered a seeded yer in this Martial Arts Conference. However¡. the person greeting Xu Yang hesitated when he saw the disciple following him. ¡°Patriarch Xu, is your eldest disciple Chen Liang not participating in the Martial Arts Conference?¡± Upon hearing this, a shadow passed over Xu Yang¡¯s face. However, soon, he put on a look of disappointment and frustration. ¡°That foolish kid injured himself out of impatience while training, and is now recuperating in the sect.¡± Hearing this, ¡°Then who is this¡?¡± The person speaking nced at the disciple behind Xu Yang. ¡°This is my little disciple, Xu Ying.¡± ¡°His aptitude is decent, but his time practicing martial arts is a bit short. I brought him here to gain some experience.¡± Xu Yang chuckled and pulled Xu Ying in front of him. The moment his hand touched Xu Ying, Xu Ying¡¯s body visibly trembled. From start to finish, he kept his head down and remained silent. Only at this moment did he slightly raise his head and greet the person in front of him. ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader Hou.¡± The man conversing with Xu Yang was none other than the leader of Tongbi Boxing Gym, Hou Zheng. ¡°Good, good, good.¡± Facing Xu Ying¡¯s greeting, Hou Zheng smiled and nodded. However, when he saw Xu Ying¡¯s handsome face, an indiscernible strangeness shed in his narrowed eyes. Xu Yang¡¯s peculiar preferences were well known among the martial arts sects in Haizhou City. Most of his disciples were just empty shells, full of appearance butcking substance. Only Chen Liang could be considered a master. In his opinion, Xu Ying was probably Xu Yang¡¯s forbidden fruit, used for daily pleasure. Not worth mentioning. ¡°Patriarch Xu, let¡¯s not beat around the bush.¡± ¡°Later, we¡¯ll be friends through martial arts.¡± After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Hou Zheng stopped talking with a wave of his hand. Without waiting for Xu Yang¡¯s response, he sat down with his disciple. His disciple had a weak build, but his arms were exceptionally thick, and his eyes seemed to have a divine light circting. Upon learning that Chen Liang wouldn¡¯t be participating in the Martial Arts Conference, he became uninterested, even toozy to chat with the other two. Seeing the contemptuous way the disciples of Tongbi Boxing Gym treated him, Xu Yang didn¡¯t get angry. He sneered and took a seat with Xu Ying directly. As soon as they sat down, Xu Yang leaned in and whispered into Xu Ying¡¯s ear, ¡°You still won¡¯t tell me who killed your Senior Brother?¡± In the midst of speaking, Xu Yang¡¯s nostrils twitched, and he took a deep breath. His eyes narrowed, and a look of infatuation appeared in them. At the same time, his right hand rested on Xu Ying¡¯s back, gently caressing it. Although his movements and tone were extremely gentle, Xu Ying couldn¡¯t help but feel disgusted. Suppressing his inner fear, he swallowed and finally spoke tremblingly. ¡°1¡1 really didn¡¯t get a clear look.¡± ¡°The other party was too fast, they killed him in just an instant¡ª ¡°Bullshit.¡± Xu Yang interrupted softly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t he kill you after killing your Senior Brother?¡± ¡°Could it be that you¡¡± His hand slowly moved downwards. Xu Ying¡¯s body trembled even more violently. He tightly gripped his thigh, his fingers sinking into his flesh, seemingly unaware of the pain.. Chapter 109 - 104: Drawing Lots and Combat Groups_2 Chapter 109: Chapter 104: Drawing Lots and Combat Groups_2 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Hmph.¡± ¡°Never mind. ¡± ¡°After all, once today is over, the Rabbit Fist Sect will be the leader in the martial arts world of Fuhai Province.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind losing such trash.¡± ¡°As for you¡¡± ¡°You¡¯ll have to be with me for a long, long time.¡± ¡°We have a long road ahead.¡± With that said, Xu Ying sneered and retracted her palm. There were many people present. She couldn¡¯t be too ostentatious. Sitting upright, Xu Yang looked around, his eyes faintly searching for something. It was unclear what he was looking for. But apparently not finding the person he wanted to see, a trace of anxiety shed through his eyes. As for Xu Ying, Her body didn¡¯t feel rxed after Xu Yang¡¯s palm left. Because Xu Yang had already informed her of today¡¯s n. After today, More than half of the people present would either be dead or injured. And she¡ would fall into a hellish life, with no hope of getting out. Xu Ying closed her eyes and tightly pursed her lips. Only then did she manage not to cry out loud. She was weak and cowardly. It was precisely because of this that she was taken to the waterfall by Chen Liang. And after leaving the waterfall, she obediently returned to the Rabbit Fist Sect upon receiving Xu Yang¡¯s threatening message. If only¡ At this thought, the image of Chen Sheng appeared in Xu Ying¡¯s mind. That terrifying aura, that insurmountable strength. If only she could have such strength. Maybe, she wouldn¡¯t have ended up in such a situation today. Unfortunately, with her character, how could that be possible? Xu Ying lowered her head, and a self-mocking smile appeared on her face. At this moment. Chen Sheng looked at Xu Yang and frowned slightly. His impression of Xu Ying was still quite good. Although she had a weak personality, she was kind-hearted and could make decisions at critical moments. Just now, even though Xu Yang could lower his voice, he couldn¡¯t escape Chen Sheng¡¯s ears. This Xu Yang¡ was most likely an old fox. And a disgusting one at that. If he meets him, he might as well cripple him. Thinking so, Chen Sheng retracted his gaze and quietly waited for the second round of thepetition to begin. Soon, time reached two o¡¯clock on the dot. The president of the Martial Arts Association, Zhou Tairan, came out from the side door on time. By his side, Zhou Qiming carried a transparent ss cab box. The cab was filled with folded pieces of paper. Chen Sheng did not turn off the Eye of True View. Therefore, When Zhou Tairan appeared, the attribute panel directly appeared. [Zhou Tairan] [Strength: 28.5] [Agility: 27.1] [Constitution: 26.4] [Skills: Snake¡¯s Breath IV2, Bear¡¯s Breath IV2, Ape¡¯s Breath IV2, Pene ¡®s Breath IV2] Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils constricted. What the hell is this?! Zhou Tairan was the person with the highest attributes Chen Sheng had seen so far. But that was not the reason for Chen Sheng¡¯s shock. It was because the number of breathing techniques that the other party mastered was too many. There were as many as eight breathing techniques. Bear, Ape, Snake, Chicken, Deer, Peng, Crane, Ostrich. However¡ Out of the eight breathing techniques, only four reached IV2, and the rest were all at Ivo. This made Chen Sheng feel strange. Including the people from the martial arts sects he had met before, most of them possessed two or three kinds of breathing techniques. But apart from him and Wu Ran, no one had perfected the breathing techniques. Was it because it was too difficult to attain perfection, or was there another reason? Chen Sheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully. But before he could figure it out, Dong dong. Zhou Tairan came to the front of the red cloth table and lightly tapped the microphone. Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on him. ¡°No more nonsense.¡± Zhou Tairan¡¯s deep voice echoed in the association hall. ¡°There are a total of nine sects participating in the second round.¡± ¡°The rules are simple ¨C it¡¯s a battle.¡± ¡°Thepeting disciples of each sect will draw lots, fight in pairs, advance from nine to five, then from five to three, and from three to two to finally decide the champion.¡± ¡°In the first three rounds, one sect will have a bye in each round, but if you are promoted in two consecutive rounds, the second round must be redrawn.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it, let¡¯s get started.¡± Zhou Tairan was concise. After exining the rules, he looked back. Assistant Zhou Qiming immediately put the ss cab on the table. ¡°In the cab, there are four groups A, B, C, and D. If you draw the same letter, that¡¯s your opponent.¡± ¡°Now, those called upe draw.¡± ¡°Crane Fist Sect, He Jiu.¡± ¡°Xingwu Gym, Wu Ran.¡± As Zhou Tairan called out the names, one by one, thepeting disciples took turns drawing. When He Jiu of the Crane Fist Sect was drawing, his eyes were fixed on Wu Ran, and his lips were slightly pping, mumbling something. Chen Sheng listened carefully. ¡°Don¡¯t let me draw him, don¡¯t let me draw him.¡± As soon as He Jiu took out the paper strip, he quickly opened it. ¡°Whew¡ª He Jiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his seat with a smile on his face. However, his master seemed very dissatisfied with the result of the draw and stared at Wu Ran from afar. It seems that he has a grudge against Wu Ran. Unfortunately, Wu Ran seemed to have ignored the master and his disciple from beginning to end. After he went up to draw, he showed the paper strip to Zhou Tairan and then went back to his seat to close his eyes and recharge. Soon, Most people have finished drawing. Chen Sheng was also done. On his paper strip, there was a big letter A written on it. He didn¡¯t know who his opponent was. Now, the only sect left to draw was the Rabbit Fist Sect. ¡°Rabbit Fist Sect¡..¡± When Zhou Tairan read out the name of the Rabbit Fist Sect, he paused for two seconds. He took a deep look at Xu Yang. He then continued. ¡°Xu Yang.¡± wow¡ª As soon as these words came out, There was somemotion inside the hall. Hou Zheng, who had been chatting with Xu Yang earlier, also immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Yang in shock. What a shameless old rabbit! You¡¯re not ashamed topete with young people at your age! You should know, Before the Tide Rising Period, there was a saying that boxing was afraid of the young. That¡¯s because with age, martial artists¡¯ bodies inevitably weaken. Even if your martial arts skills are high enough, when you encounter young and strong people, They have more strength and resistance than you. Even if their martial arts realm is a little worse, when ites to life and death, older people will inevitably suffer. But now that the Tide Rising Period has arrived, the situation is different. These old martial arts hall masters, if they sessfully awaken as Qi-sensors, may appear old on the surface, but their bodies will be rejuvenated by the nourishment of Qi. Coupled with their years of hard work and umtion, young martial artists who have only practiced martial arts for a few years or even a few months cannotpare with them. Therefore, There is an unwritten rule for this Martial Arts Conference. That is for the disciples to participate, and the old faction not to interfere. But Xu Yang¡¯s move clearly broke this rule. For a moment, There was a hint of disdain in the people¡¯s eyes as they looked at him. But Xu Yang, being a notorious old rabbit in Haizhou City, was used to such gazes. He slowly went up to draw the paper strip and returned to his seat. Basking in the disdainful gazes of the audience. From beginning to end, His face did not change. ¡°Now, I will announce the match groups.¡± After the draw waspleted, Zhou Tairan spoke again. ¡°Crane Fist Sect vs. Snake Fist Sect.¡± ¡°Xingwu Gym vs. Tongbi Boxing Gym.¡± ¡°Kongming Boxing Club vs. Flying Fish Boxing Club.¡± ¡°Turtle Fist School gets a bye.¡± ¡°Eagle Body Sect vs. Rabbit Fist Sect.¡± Whoosh¡ª As soon as the words fell, The majority of the people in the field turned their heads to look at Chen Sheng. There were looks of pity, sympathy, and relief in their eyes.. Chapter 110 - 105: Pervert and Arrival at the Race Venue Chapter 110: Chapter 105: Pervert and Arrival at the Race Venue Trantor: 549690339 Rabbit Fist Sect Master Xu Yang, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, has trained for decades and was a contemporary figure of the Martial Arts Association President Zhou Tairan. Before the Tide Rising Period, he was a well-known martial arts master in Haizhou City. When the Tide Rising Period began, he naturally became a Qi-sensor. But so far, no one except for his disciples knows how strong Xu Yang is today. However, one thing is certain. He is definitely much stronger than most of thepeting disciples present. So, The other disciples from many sects, upon hearing that Xu Yang¡¯s opponent is Chen Sheng, who has emerged from nowhere, can¡¯t help but feel a little pity for Eagle Body Sect and Chen Sheng, along with their own relief. From what they can see, the Eagle Body Sect is probably a small martial arts hall from a remote ce. To reach this far and advance to the second round, they must have gone through great hardships and efforts. But it¡¯s a pity, In the first round of the second round, they have to face Xu Yang, this shameless old man, and are destined to be defeated. This is the thought of most people in the venue. But not everyone. For example, Xu Ying. When he first heard the name Chen Sheng, he had no reaction. After all, in Xu Ying¡¯s impression, Chen Sheng should be called ¡°Zhou Li.¡± But when he looked up to see who was so unlucky to face his own master in the first round, However, When Chen Sheng¡¯s tall figure came into view, Xu Ying was instantly stunned. The original pity in his eyes quickly faded away. And in its ce, endless joy took over. Ever since he entered the association hall, Xu Ying, who had been in a depressed and desperate state, showed a sparkle in his dull eyes for the first time. It¡¯s him! It¡¯s Zhou, sir! If Xu Yang was an insurmountable mountain in Xu Ying¡¯s heart, Then Chen Sheng would be the existence that could overturn mountains and seas. If it¡¯s him, he¡¯ll definitely defeat Master. Even¡ he can stop Master¡¯s n! Thinking like that, Xu Ying noticed that Chen Sheng seemed to be casting a nce in his direction. He hurriedly opened his mouth, trying to warn Chen Sheng with his lip movements. But at that moment, Swish! Xu Yang, who was originally looking for his opponent, suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, facing Xu Ying. Xu Ying¡¯s pupils contracted, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly collected himself and tried to conceal his expressions and movements so as not to be detected by Xu Yang. However, It was still toote. As for his ¡°beloved¡± disciple, Xu Yang knew Xu Ying very well. Even though Xu Ying tried hard to appear the same as before, He could still see that something was off. ¡°Are you happy? Swish. Xu Yang leaned his face close to Xu Ying¡¯s. The sagging, aging skin was right in front of his eyes, A pair of faintly red pupils stared straight at him. Xu Ying could even feel the warm air from Xu Yang¡¯s nostrils blowing on his face. He was both disgusted and terrified deep inside. ¡°So you like this muscr man type.¡± Xu Yang tilted his head slightly, his aggressive gaze sizing up Chen Sheng from top to bottom. ¡°I love you so much, but you always look like you¡¯re barely alive.¡± ¡°Now you see this Chen Sheng, and you¡¯re so happy? ¡°Do you know him, or is he your lover?¡± ¡°Or could it be¡¡± p! The skinny hand reached out like lightning and instantly grabbed Xu Ying¡¯s cheek. Xu Yang¡¯s face suddenly turned extremely ferocious. ¡°Is he rted to your Senior Brother¡¯s death?!¡± Xu Ying had been staying in the Rabbit Fist Sect for many years, and aside from his master, he had the most contact with his senior brothers. He had hardly any opportunities to interact with outsiders. How could he suddenly know a young martial artist? Thinking like this, Xu Yang became even more convinced that Chen Sheng had something to do with Chen Liang¡¯s death. ¡°No, no.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know him, I just feel sorry for him facing you in the first round, Master.¡± Xu Ying tried to deny it quickly. However, Xu Yang didn¡¯t believe him at all. He raised an icy, cold smile at the corner of his mouth. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Rxing his grip on Xu Ying¡¯s cheek, Xu Yang whispered, ¡°No matter whether he knows you or not, I¡¯ll treat him with love too.¡± ¡°Since he has captivated my beloved- ¡± ¡°Hey, old man.¡± Xu Yang¡¯s words were only half-finished, Not far away, Chen Sheng¡¯s voice suddenly resounded. Huh? Without moving his body, Xu Yang slowly turned his head. Chen Sheng was frowning, looking at himself. ¡°If you dare talk shit again,¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart.¡± Obviously, Chen Sheng must have heard what Xu Yang had said just now. ¡°Hehe, interesting.¡± Instead of getting angry, Xu Yang just smiled sinisterly. ¡°I¡¯m more and more interested in you.¡± ¡°Later, I will treat you with love.¡± Having said that, Xu Yang turned his head away and no longer paid attention to Chen Sheng. After all, this was the association hall, with Zhou Tairan present. He could talk tough, but he didn¡¯t dare to actually take action here. Anyway, The duel will start soon. He had plenty of opportunities to make Chen Sheng cry out in pain. [Xu Yang] [Strength: 16.2] [Agility: 17-4] [Constitution: 15.8] [Skills: Rabbit form, Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound LVI] Chen Sheng looked at Xu Yang¡¯s attribute panel. Honestly, He didn¡¯t quite understand where the old man¡¯s overflowing confidence came from. But there was one thing he couldn¡¯t figure out. Why would the other party master the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound? Chen Sheng didn¡¯t think it was taught by Li Xingwu. The old man regarded the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound as a treasure and would not teach anyone who wasn¡¯t a direct disciple, let alone the leader of another sect. Could it be¡ Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils shrank slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xu Yang¡¯s back, his face bing somewhat solemn. He was originally nning to punch Xu Yang to death right away. But now, Chen Sheng decided to cripple him first, then ask his questions before looking for an opportunity to kill him. At this moment. Zhou Tairan knocked on the table, attracting everyone¡¯s attention again. ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any more time.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see some real moves on the arena.¡± ¡°Enter.¡± As his voice fell, Zhou Tairan got up and left through the side door. Behind him, Zhou Qiming bowed slightly. ¡°Please follow me.¡± Apparently, they were about to go to the battlefield, and the second round of thepetition would begin. Everyone followed Zhou Qiming and went out the back door of the hall, heading to the Practice Martial Field behind the Martial Arts Association. ¡°Young brother.¡± ¡°After this Martial Arts Conference, my Tongbi Boxing Gym wees you to visit and discuss matters.¡± At this moment, Hou Zheng, the head of Tongbi Boxing Gym, approached Chen Sheng with a friendly smile and cupped his hand. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°I will definitely visit when I have time.¡± Chen Sheng returned the courtesy as the other party was quite polite. Before leaving, Hou Zheng approached Chen Sheng and whispered. ¡°Brother Chen, if the situation seems unfavorable, just admit defeat.¡± ¡°That old bastard has no shame, and there¡¯s no need to stoop to his level.¡± ¡°With your performance this time, at the very least, we can elevate Eagle Body Sect to ss A. Besides, you are still young, and there¡¯s a long future ahead. There¡¯s no need topete for a moment of anger.¡± After giving someforting words, he returned to his disciples¡¯ side. After Hou Zheng, Several other Martial Arts Hall masters came to meet Chen Sheng. At first, he was also puzzled. Only after asking, did he learn the reason. It turned out that the local martial arts sects in Haizhou City had long been displeased with Xu Yang¡¯s behavior. Previously everyone could still politely keep up appearances. But now, Xu Yang disregarded his face and personally participated in the Martial Arts Conference. Although no one thought Chen Sheng would be a match for Xu Yang, Their words were still advising Chen Sheng to be tactful. However, Chen Sheng¡¯s courage to challenge Xu Yang had won their approval. About this, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t rush to exin and just responded with a smile. After all, if he said he could beat Xu Yang with a single finger, no one would believe him. When thepetition started, they would naturally see. Just like that, Everyone went on their way and finally arrived at the Exhibition Center deep within the Martial Arts Association. This ce was originally used for events by the Martial Arts Association, with a spacious area that could amodate hundreds of people. The venue had been cleared and arge area was set up for the second round of thepetition. As for the two sides of the area, That¡¯s where the audience stood. As Chen Sheng approached, he could hear the noise from inside the exhibition center. Looking inside, Those martial arts sects that hadn¡¯t been promoted stood on both sides. Obviously, they were here to watch thepetition. ¡°Kid, do you have any confidence in defeating the old Rabbit?¡± Seeing that thepetition was about to start, Zhou Li on the side couldn¡¯t help but be nervous. Although he knew Chen Sheng was strong, the other party was after all a martial artist of the older generation with profound foundation. It was hard to say when it actually came to a fight. ¡°Not much confidence.¡± ¡°Just one hundred percent.¡± Compared to that, Chen Sheng, who had learned about the other party¡¯s attributes, was quite rxed. ¡°You better.¡± Zhou Li rolled his eyes. Soon, Everyone entered the venue. Under the arrangement of the staff, they all took their seats on both sides. ¡°Next, we will proceed with the duels in the order of A, B, C, and D.¡± ¡°Now, the first match, Group A.¡± ¡°Eagle Body Sect¡¯s Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Rabbit Fist Sect¡¯s Xu Yang.¡± ¡°You two,e up.¡± Without further ado, thepetition began right away. Hearing his name, Chen Sheng, who hadn¡¯t even warmed up his seat, stood up again. Walking to the center of the venue, the two stood facing each other. Chen Sheng¡¯s face was calm. On the other hand, Xu Yang continued to look at Chen Sheng with undisguised aggression in his eyes.. Chapter 111 - 106: Crushing Blow and Settling with One Punch Chapter 111: Chapter 106: Crushing Blow and Settling with One Punch Trantor: 549690339 Venue Center. The designatedpetition area by the Martial Arts Association was a circle with a diameter of about twenty meters. Thepeting disciples and sect leaders were seated about five meters away from the red circle, waiting for their turn. As for the losers from the first round, who were now mere spectators from their sects, they were watching intently from a slightly farther distance. At this moment, Zhou Qiming, the host, slowly walked to the center of the red circle. He aimed his mouth at the microphone and loudly announced the names of the twopetitors. When Xu Yangs name was mentioned, The otherwise rtively quiet venue center suddenly rippled like a stone dropped into the water. Xu Yang, isnt that the Rabbit Fist Sect Master? Hes actuallypeting personally? Thats just shameless?! Whats the point of this? These older generation martial artists have high martial skills and deep foundations, and their progress far exceeds that of the younger generation. Many people expressed their astonishment and whispered discussions with the people around them. Those who spoke were all losers from the first round. Watching thepetition could also be a way to gain new insights. Therefore, except for those who were seriously injured and lost consciousness, Most people would choose to stay at the Martial Arts Association and wait for the second round today. But unexpectedly, The second round had just started, and there was already such a sensational scene. As a veteran martial artist, Xu Yang actually stepped onto the stage personally,peting with many young martial artists for the championship of the Martial Arts Conference. As for Chen Sheng, Initially, when his name was announced, Most of the spectators were somewhat puzzled, wondering who was this poor guy who ended up facing Xu Yang in the first round. However , When Chen Sheng appeared on stage, Whoosh The entire venue center instantly erupted. Holy shit, its that freak! Hiss my kidney hurts again. I take back my words, this is going to be a real fight, definitely a real fight! Last night, When Chen Sheng fought his way from the Level C Building to the ss A Building, he left a deep impression on many people. The reason they couldnt remember Chen Shengs name Was because not long after they heard it, they were knocked unconscious. But Chen Shengs face Had appeared in many peoples dreamsst night. Of course, They were nightmares. Bang! Silence! In the end, It was referee Zhou Tairan who yelled to stop the noise. The mor in the venue was finally suppressed. However , The disciples of the sects who sessfully advanced to the second round looked at each other in confusion at this moment. Wasnt this Eagle Body Sect a small sect from some remote ce? Why did those who lost in the first round have such a strong reaction? They had also heard the discussions among the people behind them just now. It seemed that, After they advanced, this Chen Sheng of the Eagle Body Sect had done something quite incredible? Even Wu Ran, who had always kept his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this moment. Although, in his opinion, those audience members were just as insignificant as trash, To be able to astonish those trash, Chen Sheng seemed to be really something special. I hope this championship wont be too boring. Wu Ran muttered quietly to himself. After all, The real purpose of his participation in the Martial Arts Conference was to show his strength to more people. If the opponent was too weak, not even worthy of making him use his full strength, That would be too boring. With that thought, Wu Ran hooked up the corners of his mouth, and looked at the field with interest. At this moment, Competing area. Xu Yang looked at Chen Shengs face and clicked his tongue. Kid, its a pity that you have such a good-looking face, just the kind I like. Unfortunately, The thing I hate the most is someone like you, with such a tough character. I prefer someone more submissive. Xu Yang shook his head and rambled on with trash talk, getting increasingly explicit and vulgar. Even Zhou Qiming, who usually had a poker face, couldnt help but frown and nce at him. However, what surprised Xu Yang was that, Chen Sheng, who had threatened him earlier and seemed to have a short fuse, Wasnt provoked by his words in the slightest. Instead, the look in Chens eyes was chillingly calm. Deep in those eyes, there seemed to be a bone-chilling cold that sent shivers down ones spine. Under Chen Shengs gaze, Xu Yang opened his mouth but suddenly forgot what he was going to say. However, soon, He felt humiliated and angered by his own behavior. His face twisted slightly. Who was he? As the respected Rabbit Fist Sect Leader, he was a well-known figure in Haizhou City. And now he was scared to speak by a random kid from who knows where? What a ioke! Kid, stop acting like - But at that moment,bender Silence throughout the venue! Perhaps unable to tolerate Xu Yangs noise, Before he even had a chance to open his mouth, Zhou Qiming suddenly raised his right arm while slowly retreating from thepetition area. Seeing this, Xu Yang knew that the match was about to begin. Kid, Beg me for mercy now, and Ill go easy on you during the match, how about He winked at Chen Sheng, and his mosquito-like voice entered his ears. But Chen Sheng still had no intention of responding. He just looked down at him condescendingly. Such behavior, Ignited a nameless fire in Xu Yangs heart. He finally gave up trying to provoke Chen Sheng, And instead closed his mouth, ring at him with a dark expression. Underneath the traditional Chinese garments, his thin muscles bulged slightly, ready for action. At the same time, Zhou Qimings voice rang out again. Now, I dere.. The second round of the Martial Arts Conference, ss A division! Chapter 112 - 106: Crushing Blow and Settling with One Punch 2 Chapter 112: Chapter 106: Crushing Blow and Settling with One Punch 2 Trantor: 549690339 Whoosh! Zhou Qimings arm suddenly shed down! Officially begin! ! ! The microphone transmitted Zhou Qimings voice, echoing throughout the entire venue. At the very instant thepetition officially began. Die, you brat!!! Xu Yangs face grew fierce. As the roar sounded. Bang! His leg muscles swelled instantly, stretching his loose pants tight. The man, like a cannonball out of a cannon, burst out in an instant. Whoosh! A gust of forceful wind blew past Chen Shengs side. Kid, where are you looking? It was just a blink of an eye. Xu Yangs figure had already appeared behind Chen Sheng. So fast! Surrounding audience members wore shocked expressions. Many of the weaker ones couldnt even see Xu Yangs trajectory. They only saw as the match began, he disappeared from his spot and appeared behind Chen Sheng in the blink of an eye. With such speed. If it was them, could they react in time? Most people in the venue put themselves in Chen Shengs shoes. But the answer they came up with was mostly the same. No. Though Xu Yang was sinister and cruel, his strength lived up to his reputation. With a sh. Be careful!!! Zhou Li, not far away, suddenly stood up with an anxious expression, shouting loudly at the field. His movement was so huge that he knocked over the chair beneath him. In the field, Xu Yang supported his entire body with both arms. His two thick legs were kicking swiftly towards Chen Shengs waist. Rabbit Kicking Eagle! Although Xu Yang had always looked down on Chen Sheng before. But he had just seen the reaction of the audience, and he knew that Chen Sheng was not ordinary. If he wanted to hit, he would go all out! Never give the opponent a chance to counterattack. Therefore, He took advantage of Chen Shengs unpreparedness, directlyunched an attack, and used a killing move from the start. As for his own attack, Chen Sheng seemed oblivious, still standing in ce, lookingpletely unaware. Seeing this, Xu Yangs mouth curled up, his face extremely hideous. Kid, No matter if your disciples death has anything to do with you or not. Just because you dared to threaten today. You must undoubtedly die! In Xu Yangs opinion, Chen Sheng might have some strength. But young people are young people after all. Theyckbat experience and dont understand the principle of being one step ahead. So stupid, you deserve to die!!! Xu Yangs eyes were filled with murderous intent. Before he knew it, His foot was getting closer and closer to Chen Shengs waist, about to hit it in the next second. If this kicknded for real, Chen Sheng would suffer at least shattered bones, if not his body being broken in half. Either way, it would not end well. But just at this moment, Youre too slow. An emotionless voice sounded in his ears, causing Xu Yangs ferocious and triumphant expression to freeze instantly. This voice. Whoosh! Xu Yang quickly looked up. He saw that although Chen Shengs body hadnt moved. At some point, his head had already tilted slightly. The cold and indifferent eyes were already fixed on him. Wha Xu Yangs pupils shrank. A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. The rm bells in his mind were ringing furiously. Danger! Danger! !! Although it seemed that Chen Sheng should be toote to react. But a martial artists strong intuition kept telling Xu Yang. With this kick, If he continued to kick down, He would die! As an old-generation martial artist, Xu Yang had a perverse character, but he had survived till now because he trusted his intuition. This time, he chose to believe again. Thinking of this, Xu Yangs face twisted fiercely, and he suddenly opened his mouth. Inhale In an extremely short instant, his bodys muscles kept expanding. He started entering the rabbit form. At the same time, He twisted his arm, and at the same time, his calf began to retract, preparing to switch from offense to defense. Get moving! ! The strength in his leg was forcibly withdrawn by Xu Yang. His legs were no longer kicking towards Chen Sheng but were preparing to dodge to the side. Ive told you. Youre too slow. Just at this moment. Chen Shengs voice rang out again. But this time, Apanied by the almost devouring fierce aura that enveloped Xu Yang, and Chen Shengs fist. The next second, Boom!!! An intense explosion suddenly erupted. On the battlefield, The dust that was stirred up instantly filled the entire battlefield. Shattered stones kept flying and sshing towards the audience. Many people were caught off guard and were directly hit by the broken stones. For a time, cries of pain followed one after another. whats going 01%! What happened? Is somebody attacking the Martial Arts Hall? Feeling the slight trembling sensation from under their feet, Many audiences looked around in a daze, not knowing what had happened. What happened at the scene just now happened in an instant. In their line of sight, They only saw Xu Yangs attack about to hit Chen Sheng without Chen Sheng having reacted. Some people even began to silently mourn for Chen Sheng. The result, the next second, A sudden change urred in front of them. The situation on the battlefield waspletely covered by dust, making it impossible for anyone to see what had happened. Many people even thought they were being attacked and had already stood up, ready to fight. But at this time, Zhou Tairans voice sounded. Calm down! No need to panic. His voice spread throughout the venue, as if carrying a soothing power, quickly calming down the chaos. The chairman of the Association already had spoken. That meant it wasnt an enemy attack. But everyones hearts were still full of doubts. Could this be themotion caused by the battle on the field? How strong is Xu Yang to have kicked up such a fuss with one strike? No one connected the strange scene in front of them with Chen Sheng. So the only possibility left was Xu Yang. To think that Xu Yang had hidden such terrifying strength, The Martial Arts Hall Masters who had just spoken with Chen Sheng, couldnt help but feel a bit regretful that they had dered their stance too early. But it had already been toote. All they could do now was stare intensely at the field to see what was going on. Soon, As the dust slowly dissipated, A tall figure gradually appeared in outline. In its hand, it seemed to be holding something. Referee, does this count as my victory? As the voice rang out, Chen Shengs figure appeared in everyones sight. His face was indifferent, as if he had just done something utterly trivial. And in his hand, He was holding a body that was limp like a soft mud. It was Xu Yang! The once haughty and awe-inspiring Xu Yang, Nowy like trash by the roadside, held by Chen Sheng in his hand. His lower half was already a bloody mess, with no trace of his legs shape remaining. His eyes had turned white with terror still lingering on his face. It was as if just before losing consciousness, he had seen something extremely horrifying. At this time, Seeing Zhou Qimings face stiffened, Chen Sheng thought the other party was not happy with his heavy hand.bender Dont worry, hes not dead, just suffered some minor injuries. Having said this, as if to prove his words, Chen Sheng lifted Xu Yangs muddy body and shook it gently. Cough, cough, cough!!! Apanied by intense coughing, arge amount of fresh blood spat out from Xu Yangs mouth, sshing onto the ground. You see, Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders. However, He still did not receive a response. And not just from Zhou Qiming. At this moment, the entire Venue Center, Was dead silent. So quiet that it seemed if a needle dropped, one could hear it clearly.. Chapter 113 - 107: Advancing with Wu Ran ‘s Arrogance Chapter 113: Chapter 107: Advancing with Wu Ran s Arrogance Trantor: 549690339 A minor injury? Upon hearing Chen Shengs words. Zhou Qiming lowered his head, and his eyes twitched continuously. He looked at the twisted legs and blurred flesh of Xu Yangs lower body in his hands, only half a step away from death. A minor injury?! Do you call this a minor injury?! What is considered a serious injury then? Soul scattered and dissipated?! Shocked, speechless, and bewildered emotions were hidden behind Zhou Qimings poker face, making him at a loss for how to react for a moment. Young Zhou. Announce the match results. It was not until Zhou Tairan called out from a distance. Zhou Qiming came to his senses. Oh, ohalright. He shook his head slightly, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Then, he raised his arm. ss A, the winner..Chen Sheng! As soon as the words fell. It was like a heavy hammer falling. The still audience around came back to their senses. Ignoring the noise around him. Chen Sheng casually flicked his hand. Directly throwing Xu Yang out of the field. With a thud. The already seriously injured body hit the ground, rolling several times. It finally stopped in front of Xu Ying. Take care of your Sect Leader, and dont let him die. Chen Shengs voice came leisurely. Xu Ying looked up. He saw an unusual look in Chen Shengs eyes. He immediately understood. Please call for medical personnel. Xu Ying said to the nearby staff. As they used an inte to call for the medical team. Xu Ying then squatted down to pick up Xu Yang and put him on a chair. Xu Yang had notpletely lost consciousness. But now, he had lost his previous wily, cunning, and sharp demeanor. His facial features were constantly distorted due to the intense pain. No.No, dont touch, dont touch me. Im..lm sorry. When Xu Ying tried to touch his body, Xu Yang visibly trembled, instinctively trying to avoid it. His mouth was mumbling nonstop. Seeing their once wily, cunning, cruel and bloodthirsty master who tortured them in such a pitiful state now. Xu Ying felt a little pleasure in his heart, but at the same time, a longing rose within him. He turned his head and looked at Chen Sheng preparing to walk toward the audience seats on the stage. His eyes shone with passionate light. He also wanted a terrifying power like that of Chen Shengs. With that kind of power, he could protect himself from being hurt by others. At the same time, Xu Ying continued to move his hands despite looking at Chen Sheng. Ignoring Xu Yangs struggles and cries, he directly ced him on a chair, so he wouldnt block others paths. On the other side. Chen Sheng walked towards the audience seats on the sidelines nonchntly. He came to Zhou Lis side, lifting his fallen chair. Alright alright. Dont be so surprised. Next time dont be so jumpy, making us of the Eagle Body Sect seem so inexperienced. While saying so, Chen Sheng put his hand on Zhou Lis shoulder and pushed him back onto his seat. He also helped the old man close his gaping mouth. Seeing the old mans still dumbstruck and seemingly possessed expression. Chen Sheng shook his head helplessly, he could only sit down and watch the uing matches. However.. As Chen Sheng sat down, He could feel countless gazes on himself, making him feel very ufortable. Though the surrounding audience had already recovered from the shock. Under the gaze of Zhou Tairan, they did not continue to make noise. But Besides those who participated in the second round. Everyone else looked at Chen Sheng with a strange gaze. As if they were looking at a monster disguised in human skin. Is this reallya human? Could he be a Heavenly Person? Or maybe, this Chen Sheng is actually over a hundred years old, just maintaining a youthful appearance with some special method? Many people whispered to each other. As for the martial arts hall participants in the second round. After the initial shock, they quickly recovered. They were not like those behind them who had never seen such a thing. On the contrary, Just now, themotion caused by Chen Sheng, most of the martial arts hall masters could achieve. As long as they activated their Breathing State, it would not be difficult. The specific fighting situation was blocked by the dust stirred up in the field. However, how keen were the ears of the martial arts hall masters. The sound of inhaling at the time. It was clearly the sound of activating the Breathing Method. Only those who had cultivated the Breathing Method to perfection and activated the Breathing State could cause such amotion. As a result, These martial arts hall masters were onlymenting the good fortune of the Eagle Body Sect for having such a genius disciple. As for The possibility that Xu Yang activated his Breathing State, while Chen Sheng punched out this effect in his normal state. It couldnt be said to be absolutely impossible. But it was infinitely close to zero. Therefore. No one thought in that direction. Second match, Group B. Xingwu Gym versus Tongbi Boxing Gym. Both sides, enter the field. At this moment, Zhou Qiming, who had quickly adjusted his state, returned to the battlefield once more.bender The originally t ground of the battlefield, although had been sted by Chen Shengs punch earlier, leaving a crater, fortunately, it still maintained its basic shape, not affecting the battle. As the words fell, not far away, already rubbing his fists and eager, Hou Qiang from Tongbi Boxing Gym immediately got up and went to the battlefield. Wu Ran also got up. From beginning to end, if anyone in the entire battlefield did not lose theirposure due to Chen Shengs strength, it would only be Zhou Tairan and Wu Ran. Zhou Tairan was because of his extraordinary strength, practicing several Breathing Techniques. Even without entering the Breathing Method state, he could barely punch out a fist simr to Chen Shengs. As for Wu Ran, he had also perfected a Breathing Technique. Not to mention, he also possessed the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, which had already reached Level 2. The stronger Chen Sheng was, the more fearless and excited Wu Ran would be. Only this way could he be worthy of being his opponent, and be worthy of letting him use all his strength to crush him! Thinking of this scene, even the cold and indifferent Wu Ran couldnt help shing a trace of excitement on his face. As for before encountering Chen Sheng Step. Wu Ran stood in front of Hou Qiang. His expression quickly turned back to indifference, forming a stark contrast with the strong fighting intent on the others face. The two stood facing each other. Seeing that they were maintaining a certain distance, Zhou Qiming slowly retreated to the outside of the field. As the battle was about to begin, Hou Qiangs originally battle-ready expression suddenly faded. Youre Wu Ran, right? I heard that you and Chen Sheng came from the same ce, and your strength is pretty good. Youre not a monster like Chen Sheng, are you? He asked with a smile, tilting his head. Wu Ran lowered his eyes and said calmly. Thats good. Hou Qiang took a long breath and patted his chest. It seemed that he had really let go of his worry, and his smile grew even brighter. Then Im sorry. Facing me, you can only go this far. As the words fell, Hou Qiang raised his muscr arms. Bang! The two huge fists collided in front of his chest. He grinned broadly, and the fighting intent reappeared on his face. Whoosh! At the same time, Now, I dereI Zhou Qiming on the outside raised his arm. The match begins! The moment the arm swung down, Inhale A burst of inhaling sounded abruptly at Hou Qiangs ear. The next second, he saw, Wu Rans pupils suddenly turned amber. Crack crack! His figure kept swelling. In just a few breaths, he turned into a muscr, tiger-back, wasp-waisted man with knotted muscles all over his bodv. Sharp teeth filled his mouth, shimmering with a hair-raising cold light. The nails on the ends of his arms became extremely sharp as well. The entire person seemed to have been born for the sake of battle. Hou Qiangs face turned serious. Inhale He too entered the Breathing Method state. The secondyer of Apes Breath, brought a substantial enhancement to the arm muscles of Hou Qiang, making his arms extremely thick and horrifying to look at. As they swung, gusts of wind constantly whistled through. After entering the Breathing Method state, Hou Zheng did not hesitate at all. He saw him m both his arms into the ground, and the whole person rushed towards Wu Ran with a tremendous momentum. Come on!!! Hou Qiang roared excitedly. But at this moment, Wu Ran, who was standing still, suddenly looked up. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. His expression was still indifferent. Im not as strong as Chen Sheng. Im . Even stronger. Huh? What the hell is this guy talking about? A trace of doubt crossed Hou Qiangs face. But before he could understand, a cold lightpletely filled his vision. The next second, Rip On the practice field, blood blossoms suddenly bloomed.. Chapter 114 - 108: Gloom and Organization Reappear Chapter 114: Chapter 108: Gloom and Organization Reappear Trantor: 549690339 On the battlefield. Chilling lights shed one after another. Wu Ran was like a ruthless feline predator, toying with his prey. rming gashes were spread all over Hou Qiangs body, even on his two muscr arms. Fresh blood gushed out like a small stream, sttering on the ground. The frenzy of battle had faded from his face. He shifted his gaze to Wu Ran, who had exited his breathing method state and was walking towards the edge of the field. Hehheh! Opening his mouth, Hou Qiang seemed to want to say something. But all that came out was the sound of air leaking. Whathappened? Before he could figure it out, his vision rapidly darkened. Thud. His body fell to the ground. Little Qiang! Hou Zheng, the master of Tongbi Boxing Gym, cried out in rm and rushed onto the battlefield to check on Hou Qiangs injuries. Fortunately, Most of Hou Qiangs injuries looked terrifying, but they were mostly just flesh wounds. Qi-sensors have strong bodies and even stronger vitality. What would have been fatal for ordinary people might not even be considered a severe injury to them. Hou Zheng looked at the staff outside the battlefield. But before he could remind them, They had already taken out their intes and began calling for medical personnel. Soon after, Four medical staff members entered from the main entrance, lifted the injured Xu Yang and Hou Qiang onto stretchers, and then pushed them outside. Seeing his disciple being treated, Hou Zheng finally let out a sigh of relief. Descending from the battlefield, He solemnly walked over to Li Xingwu and Wu Ran. Your skills are superior, and my Tongbi Boxing Gym admits defeat. In a duel, injuries are inevitable. Since his disciple was not in any life-threatening danger, Hou Zheng would not take his anger out on Li Xingwu and Wu Ran of Xingwu Gym. However, Wu Ran, after defeating his disciple, didnt spare even a courteous word. Such arrogance made Hou Zheng feel humiliated. Even between martial arts halls with a significant disparity of strength, they should maintain basic respect. Besides, Tongbi Boxing Gym was an old and prestigious ss A sect in Haizhou City, and they had never been treated with such disdain. In the future, if theres an opportunity, Ill bring my disciples to ask for guidance. In other words, he intended to find a chance to reim their honor. My Xingwu Gym is always ready to wee your visit. Wu Ran won another match and still maintained his crushing momentum against an old sect like Tongbi Boxing Gym. Li Xingwu couldnt help but feel delighted. But on the surface, he still wore a smile, putting on a modest demeanor, and responded to Hou Zheng with a bow. Seeing this, Hou Zheng finally lowered his face and returned to his seat. When he left, Li Xingwus smile quickly disappeared. Looking at Hou Zhengs retreating figure, he slightly raised his head, his eyes filled with mockery. A defeated opponent was not worth considering. Now he had a real enemy to worry about. Thinking of Chen Sheng demonstrated strength earlier _ He had a bad feeling. He no longer felt that Chen Shengs incredible progress speed was strange. Because no one could improve at such a fast speed in such a short time. So, there was only one possibility left. From the moment Chen Sheng appeared until now, He had been hiding his true strength. Getting close to Li Chenghu, and even himself, must have an ulterior motive! Thinking about it, Li Xingwu felt a little worried. Xiaoran, are you confident in dealing with that Chen Sheng? He leaned closer to Wu Ran and lowered his voice to ask. Ten out of ten. Wu Rans face was expressionless, but his words were resolute. He was obviously full of confidence in himself. Good, good, good. Hearing this answer, Li Xingwu felt somewhat relieved. He knew that Wu Ran was not the kind of person to talk big. If he dared to say ten out of ten, he must have enough confidence to defeat Chen Sheng. He quickly collected his thoughts and prepared to watch the next match. At the same time, Outside the exhibition center. Four medical staff members carefully pushed the stretchers. The medical room was not far from here. Their path crossed the training ground, and they quickly arrived at the entrance. Huh? Why is the door closed? One of them asked in confusion. Under normal circumstances, The door to the medical room would remain open when they were transporting injured patients until they came back. But now, The door was tightly closed. Doubtful, one of them came forward to knock on the door. But just at that moment, There was a click. As the hand was about to reach the door, it opened on its own. Not thinking much of it, The four personnel brought in the stretchers one after another. The medical room was spacious, fitting six or seven sickbeds. There was also a side door leading to a sterile operating room for treating severely injured patients. However , There was no one in the medical room at the moment. Andx).n. Apart from the odor of disinfectant in the air, there seemed to be a strong smell of blood. But having a bloody smell in the medical room was quite normal. The four medical staff didnt think much of it. Old Jiang, the people are here! But there was no response. Where are they? One of them looked around in confusion. Are they cleaning up in the sterile room? He voiced his guess while walking towards the side door. But just then, The side door opened automatically. A middle-aged man with a gentle smile and wearing a doctors uniform walked out from inside. Hello, hello. Just hand them over to me. He appeared familiar and greeted each of the four staff members one by one. While speaking, He reached out to grab the stretcher. Wait. One of the staff stopped him and frowned at him. Who are you? Ive never seen you beforeI Splurt. This person hadnt finished speaking. His voice suddenly stopped. Hehheh. His mouth agape, fresh blood gushed out like a stream. Another splurt. The middle-aged man withdrew his finger from the mans throat, shook it with a hint of disgust, and then- Apanied by the sound of the body falling on the floor, He raised his bloody finger and gently ced it in front of his lips. Shush. Everyone, stay quiet. Can you refrain from making loud noises, please? From beginning to end, his face was filled with a gentle smile. But the three people around him all wore horrified expressions. Seeing theirpanion casually killed right before their eyes, how could they remain calm? One of the staff members reacted rather quickly, he quickly turned around, began to run towards the exit, and pulled out the inte on his waist, preparing to call for backup. However , he had just pressed the inte button, when the sound of pch rang out again. This time, it was very close, as if ringing in his mind. Just why why did his head hurt so much? He couldnt figure out what was going on, when he felt his body uncontrobly falling forward. The scene before his eyes quickly plunged into darkness. Apanied by the sound of the scalpel embedded in the door, the staff member with a hole in his head suddenly flew up into the air, fell to the ground, andy unconscious. Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked at the remaining two. They had already copsed onto the ground, their bodies shaking uncontrobly. A wave of foul smell constantly emanated from their bodies. The middle-aged man walked around the stretcher and stood in front of the two. Disgusting. He slightly waved his palm to dissipate the smell around his nose. Dont dont kill me. I wont scream Pch! x2 Two bodies fell to the ground with a thud. I apologize. I dont like to y favorites. With that said, he stretched out a bloodstained finger and wiped it on Xu Yangs clothes on the stretcher. Next second, p! Xu Yang pped his hand away. At this moment, the perverted old man no longer resembled the disoriented and desperate figure he had been when Chen Sheng hit him. Arent you disgusting? He looked at the middle-aged man with a disgusted expression. Sect Master Xu, that really hurts my feelings. The middle-aged man covered his chest with his hand, appearing pained and aggrieved. However, he seemed oblivious to Xu Yangs disgust and continued to wipe his fingers. Im supposed to treat your injuries next, arent you afraid Ill hold a grudge and put something in your body? Or take something away? Although he was always smiling and his tone remained gentle, Xu Yang tensed up as soon as he heard these words. He was well aware of the person before him, if he dared to say it, he would definitely dare to do it. At this point, he dared not say anything more and could only change the subject. Have your people taken their positions yet? This time, the situation isnt looking good. Xu Yang furrowed his brows. Although his disoriented appearance just now had been an act, the injuries on his body were very real. The audience outside hadnt seen the specifics of the fight, but as a participant himself, he had seen everything clearly.bender The great Rabbit Fist Sect Master, while in the Breathing State, was seriously injured by Chen Shengs ordinary punch. Oh? At this moment, hearing Xu Yangs words, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly. I was just wondering how you ended up like this. You couldnt have provoked Zhou Tairan, could you? He looked up and down at Xu Yangs injuries, clicking his tongue in amazement. He had reached a deal with Xu Yang earlier and had given him the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Breathing Technique. Although Xu Yangs character was rather despicable, his talent was indeed remarkable. In just under ten days, he had cultivated the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique to the secondyer with the help of arge number of spirit medicines. With such strength, in the entire Haizhou City, even if he wasnt the best, he would definitely be in the top ten. Moreover, the Martial Arts Conference was filled with young martial artists, and people like Zhou Tairans generation simply couldnt stoop as low as Xu Yang to personally enter thepetition. Therefore, he couldnt figure out who could have beaten Xu Yang like this. Why would I provoke Zhou Tairan for no reason? Hearing his words, Xu Yang scoffed. The person who injured me is called Chen Sheng, and he belongs to the Eagle Body Sect. Huh? Upon hearing Chen Shengs name, a look of surprise shed through the middle-aged mans eyes. He had already checked on the list of participants beforehand, so even though he had not met Chen Sheng in person, he had heard the name from different people. Thats right, he was the Mr. Hai who had once targeted Li Chenghu in Quanjiang City and repeatedly sent people to attack Chen Sheng. Interesting. This Chen Sheng is really interesting. Mr. Hai stroked his chin, he had first heard of Chen Sheng from Guo Yang, when he had been just a Light Energy martial artist. Later, Guo Yang had tried to snatch the spirit medicine from Chen Sheng and asked him to investigate and send support. Mr. Hai sent a few Transformation Realm Fighters who were still in Quanjiang City, but in the end, including Guo Yang, all those who tried to attack Chen Sheng disappeared without a trace, leaving no news. Recently, Mr. Hai had been busy with other areas and had put the matter aside because those who died were insignificant characters. He had only been called back for this Martial Arts Conference because it involved the organizations ns. Now, he heard Chen Shengs name from someone else once more. chen sheng chen sheng. Mr. Hai closed his eyes and repeatedly muttered Chen Shengs name. Such an interesting person. I must take this opportunity to meet him. There was a hint of excitement in his voice as the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Those who didnt know might think he was just trying to make a new friend, but Xu Yang, who had dealt with Mr. Hai several times, didnt think so and instead felt a chill in his heart. This kid is really strong, are you sure you can handle him? Dont end up losing everything while trying to win a little, or else Ill suffer too. Dont worry, dont worry. Mr. Hai waved his hand. Then, he pushed the stretcher and mmed open the side door. Hiss Xu Yang felt the jolting of the stretcher beneath him, and the movement of his wounds caused him to gasp in pain. Rest assured, Sect Master Xu. I guarantee that when you wake up, youll be the leader of the martial arts world in Quanjiang City. As for whether or not I can beat him Please have a little faith in an Entering Realm Martial Artist.. Chapter 115 - 109: Conspiracies and Hidden Crises Chapter 115: Chapter 109: Conspiracies and Hidden Crises Trantor: 549690339 Exhibition center. ¡®Martial Arts Conference second round, third match.¡± ¡°Group C.¡± ¡°Crane Fist Sect, He Jiu.¡± ¡°Snake Fist Sect, Li Qing.¡± After Zhou Qiming shouted out the names, He Jiu of Crane Fist Sect quickly stood up and nervously walked towards the battlefield. His opponent was Bai Wuyi, who was previously punched into a wall by Chen Sheng in thest round. Although he was seriously injured at the time. Luckily, the Sect Leader of the Snake Fist Sect was skilled in healing arts. After a round of treatment, Bai Wuyi managed to substantially recover by the next morning and sessfully advanced to the second round. However, with Chen Sheng present, Bai Wuyi had already lost hope for the title of the champion. Now, he just wants to take things one step at a time and consider this as an opportunity to hone his skills. Quickly. The two of them stood firm on the battlefield. ¡°I ask for your guidance, Brother Bai.¡± He Jiu swallowed nervously. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Brother He.¡± The present Bai Wuyi looked extremely gentle making the tense He Jiu, heave a sigh of relief. Soon, the two began their fight. Compared to the previous two matches, this one appeared morepetitive. Crane and snake are natural enemies. From the martial arts perspective, Snake Fist is unpredictable, specializing in drilling, winding, and locking, using the opponent¡¯s strength against them and prevailing with the decisive strike. While Crane Fist consists of grappling, pecking, and seizing moves, its style is fierce, with swift and rapid attacks, particrly effective against the soft force of Snake Fist. Their strengths areparable. At face value, Bai Wuyi¡¯s chances of winning seemed slim. However, one factor could determine the result in a battle of equal strength. That is the mindset. Having experienced a ¡°battle¡± with Chen Sheng, Bai Wuyi, who seemed to have undergone a significant transformation, had a mindset far superior to He Jiu¡¯s. Although the opponent¡¯s techniques somewhat restrained him, he constantly dealt with them calmly, sessfully dissolving He Jiu¡¯s offensive maneuvers one after the other. As for He Jiu, Perhaps due to his anxiety orck ofbat experience, His Crane Fist was not as swift and fierce as it should be. In contrast, Bai Wuyi seized several opportunities, causing He Jiu significant losses and gradually pushing him into disadvantage. Watching this, Chen Sheng diverted his gaze. The difference in their attributes wasn¡¯t substantial on the battlefield. Victory or defeat depended on their mental state during the battle. From what it seemed, The victor was apparent. ¡°What a pity.¡± ¡°Actually, the kid from Crane Fist Sect had a good chance of winning.¡± ¡°But he apparently has only practiced martial arts for a short time, and hasn¡¯t fought much, his inner mentality is too poor.¡± ¡°A perfectly good advantage, he single-handedly turned it into a disadvantage.¡± Chen Sheng seemed less interested than Zhou Li, who was watching intently at his side, providing asionalmentary. With nothing else to do, He just sat in his seat, silently practicing his breathing technique. Soon, The oue of the battlefield was clear. Bai Wuyi sessfully advanced to the next round. Unfortunately, He Jiu lost. Upon returning to the sidelines, he was berated by his master, He Qi. At this moment, The first round wasing to its final match. After the matches finish, The remaining five martial arts halls will draw lots again to pair up. One of them will be exempt from the match. The remaining four will be split into two groups to fight. Time slowly passed by. The battle on the field wasing to an end. The audience around was engrossed in the match. The atmosphere inside the venue was bing increasingly heated. If Zhou Tairan hadn¡¯t forbidden them from making too much noise. This ce would have turned into a boxing ring any minute. At that moment, Chen Sheng, who was practicing his breathing technique, seemed to notice something. He opened his eyes and looked not too far off. Xu Ying was walking towards him. As she walked, Her expression changed repeatedly, as if she was wrestling with something. Upon reaching him, ¡°Zhou¡.Brother Chen.¡¯ By now, Xu Ying had learned Chen Sheng¡¯s real name. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Sheng looked up at him. Previously, Chen Sheng had no idea about the dirty deeds going on within the Rabbit Fist Sect. He only thought Xu Ying was weak, but decent. Until this martial arts conference. Experiencing Xu Yang¡¯s disgusting behavior and learning about the Rabbit Fist Sect from other sect leaders, Chen Sheng¡¯s opinion of Xu Ying rose again. Being adopted by Xu Yang since he was a child, his life must have been hellish. Yet even so, He managed to remain decent, it was trulymendable. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ve thought it over, there¡¯s something I have to tell you.¡± Xu Ying pulled over a chair and sat beside Chen Sheng. His expression became extremely serious. ¡°Brother Chen, there will be danger here soon.¡± Huh? Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyebrows raised. He initially thought Xu Ying was asking for his help to leave the Rabbit Fist Sect. But he didn¡¯t expect him to blurt out such a baffling statement. ¡°Go on.¡± Chen Sheng slightly tilted his chin, signaling him to continue. Xu Ying hesitated for two seconds, as though choosing his words carefully. Then, He quickly informed Chen Sheng of everything he knew. A month ago, Xu Ying noticed. Xu Yang seemed to be affiliated with a mysterious organization, running errands. The Rabbit Fist Sect was in charge of some shady business, while the mysterious organization provided rewards such as spirit medicines and breathing techniques. Since Xu Ying was Xu Yang¡¯s most ¡°beloved¡± disciple. Many of Xu Yang¡¯s secrets were seen by him. For instance, several times, he saw Xu Yang sneaking out in the middle of the night, returning with his hands covered in fresh blood. Sometimes, Xu Yang also brought back some badly injured people to the Rabbit Fist Sect. But¡ Those who were brought back, Xu Ying never saw them again. And this time, After arriving at the martial arts conference, because Xu Ying stayed next to Xu Yang 24 hours a day. Therefore, Xu Yang did not hesitate to reveal his n. Xu Ying did not know the specifics. He only knew that ording to the original n, the mysterious organization would attack the exhibition center after the end of the martial arts conference. Xu Yang, then would cooperate from within and restrain some masters. As for how Xu Yang could restrain most of the masters in the field with his own power alone, Xu Ying had no clue. After all, To Xu Yang, he was just a pet. At this point, Hearing what Xu Ying said, Chen Sheng rubbed his chin, his eyes reflecting deep thoughts. Arge number of martial arts clubs gather at the martial arts conference, which means there will be many martial artists who know breathing techniques here. Xu Yang, the leader of the Rabbit Fist Sect, was in possession of the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, which did not belong to the Rabbit Fist Sect. Where did the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sounde from? What is the purpose of the mysterious organization that Xu Yang is in contact with assaulting the martial arts conference? Chen Sheng thought briefly and quickly had an answer. Because, He just happened to know about a mysterious organization that was collecting breathing techniques. Upon this thought, A glimmer shed in his eyes, and he made a decision right away. ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Chen Sheng stood up and patted Xu Ying¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You stay with me from now on.¡± Upon hearing this, Xu Ying¡¯s eyes lit up and he was overwhelmed with joy. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen!¡± He said gratefully. Chen Sheng¡¯s willingness to let him stay implied that he was willing to protect him. Xu Ying was naturally delighted. Then, Chen Sheng strode towards Zhou Tairan. Soon, He stopped in front ot the referee¡¯s table. ¡°What is it?¡± Zhou Tairan looked up at Chen Sheng. ¡°Chairman Zhou, I need to report.¡± ¡°Someone is trying to attack the exhibition center, and he should have infiltrated the association by now.¡± When he finished, Before Zhou Tairan could respond, Chen Sheng picked up his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Hello, is this the Wu¡¯an Bureau?¡± ¡°I want to report a crime, some viins are trying to attack the Martial Arts Association.¡± From start to finish, Chen Sheng had no intention of risking his own safety. What a joke. That mysterious organization had an unknown origin, and ording to what Shen Ziming had said earlier, it seemed to have entering realm martial artists. Although he didn¡¯t know how powerful an entering realm martial artist was. But for all his life, Chen Sheng¡¯s principle has been one word: Steady! Chapter 116 - 110: Departure and Reckless Remarks Chapter 116: Chapter 110: Departure and Reckless Remarks Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Is it true?¡± Chen Sheng who just hung up the phone. Zhou Tairan frowned. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Chen Sheng nodded solemnly. If the mysterious organization were allowed to attack the exhibition center. The Martial Arts Conference would inevitably be forcibly terminated, and it was still uncertain whether it could continue afterwards and whether the champion would still count. By then, Chen Sheng¡¯s Spirit Seed would be gone. He informed the Wu¡¯an Bureau and Zhou Tairan about the news. Hoping that both could respond simultaneously to ensure the ongoing Martial Arts Conference. Upon getting a confirmation from Chen Sheng, Zhou Tairan didn¡¯t inquire about more information, such as where the news came from and who wanted to attack the Martial Arts Association. He first waved to Zhou Qiming not far away. ¡°See if you can get in touch with the security staff outside and the monitoring room. ¡± ¡®Yes.¡± Without hesitation, Zhou Qiming immediately took out his phone to contact. Half a minuteter, ¡°Chairman, no one is answering.¡± Zhou Tairan¡¯s face then became heavy, and he nodded slightly. ¡°I got it.¡± Under his gaze, Zhou Qiming went back to the sidelines and continued to watch the progress of thepetition. After he left, Zhou Tairan looked at Chen Sheng. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t make a fuss.¡± With that, He stood up and walked towards the exit, ¡°I will keep in touch with the Wu¡¯an Bureau.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll deal with the outside.¡± From beginning to end, Zhou Tairan never asked Chen Sheng about the details of the attack. Perhaps because he understood, At this time, every second wasted will make the martial artists in the convention center more dangerous. The burly body walked straight past Chen Sheng without stopping. The surrounding audience also noticed Zhou Tairan¡¯s departure. Many people looked surprised. With referee Zhou Tairan gone, Who would judge the victory of thepetition? In the passionate atmosphere caused by the ongoingpetition, there were suddenly some different voices. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry, thepetition will continue as usual.¡± ¡°There is important business in the Martial Arts Association that Chairman Zhou needs to deal with.¡± ¡°The second round of thepetition will be recorded in its entirety. Even if the chairman is not present, we will use it as a reference when judging the resultster.¡± Perhaps sensing the anomaly in the audience, Zhou Qiming picked up the microphone and reassured the crowd. Hearing this, The crowd looked around. Sure enough, they found monitoring probes in the four corners of the exhibition center. They were then reassured and continued to watch thepetition in the battlefield. Chen Sheng returned to his seat. ¡°Brother Chen, how is it?¡± Xu Ying leaned over and whispered. ¡°I have informed the Wu¡¯an Bureau and Chairman Zhou about the situation, and they are contacting and preparing to deal with it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much.¡± Hearing this, Xu Ying immediately sighed with relief. If the people from the mysterious organization were caught, his master wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. Wouldn¡¯t he be free then? For a moment, His heart was filled with joy. At the same time, he kept pondering in his mind where he should go if he could sessfully break away from the Rabbit Fist. As for Xu Ying¡¯s inner thoughts, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t know. At this point, He was frowning, asionally looking in the direction of the outside of the exhibition center. Supposedly, With the cooperation of Zhou Tairan and the Wu¡¯an Bureau, dealing with a mysterious organization shouldn¡¯t be a big problem. Moreover, recently in Fuhai Province, due to previous events in Quanjiang City, the crackdown on this mysterious organization has been huge. Any action this time would certainly be a massive, well-armed operation. Thinking about it, there shouldn¡¯t be any idents. But for some reason, Chen Sheng always felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart. It made him restless. ¡°Xu Ying.¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng suddenly turned to look at Xu Ying. ¡°Huh¡ªHuh?¡± ¡°What¡¯s ¡What¡¯s wrong, Brother Chen?¡± Xu Ying was sneaking a peek at Chen Sheng. Seeing the other person suddenly turning his head, he got a sudden shock. Even his speech was stuttering. ¡°Now take Old Zhou away from the Martial Arts Association.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go through the main entrance, climb the wall, dig tunnels, whatever.¡± ¡°Just don¡¯t be discovered by anyone.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s expression was very serious. At the same time, ¡°Hey, hey, kid, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Are you sexually harassing an old man?!¡± Ignoring Zhou Li¡¯s struggle, he directly reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He dialed his own number. After connecting the call, he handed the phone to Xu Ying. ¡°Stay on the call.¡± ¡°Report your location every ten seconds.¡± ¡°If anything happens, just yell my name.¡± ¡°As long as it¡¯s within the Martial Arts Association, I¡¯ll be there in ten seconds.¡± For the second round of the Martial Arts Conference, as long as they were not participating disciples or Martial Arts Hall leaders, anyone was free toe and go. The leader of the Eagle Body Sect was Chen Sheng. Zhou Li was just an inferior old man. No one cared about his whereabouts. As for Xu Ying, it was even less important. What Chen Sheng worried about from the beginning was not himself. Even if something unexpected happened, he could still escape. The only concern was Zhou Li. The old man was too weak, and a little carelessness could cost him his life. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Brother Chen, didn¡¯t you just say¡ª¡± Xu Ying looked puzzled. But when he saw Chen Sheng¡¯s serious expression, The doubts he was about to ask were choked back. At a crucial moment, Xu Ying still had his own determination. He put away his doubts and promised Chen Sheng seriously. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen, for trusting me.¡± ¡°I will definitely protect Senior Zhou¡¯s safety.¡± ¡°As long as I¡¯m alive, I won¡¯t let him get hurt.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Sheng nodded. Then, he turned to look at the bewildered Zhou Li. Of the three, it was this old man who seemed to be enjoying the experience like a tourist from beginning to end. ¡°Kid, what¡¯s the deal?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter, just get lost now.¡± With no time for a lengthy exnation, Chen Sheng waved his hand, and Xu Ying stepped forward to help Zhou Li up. Regarding Chen Sheng, Zhou Li had no doubt. Although he was very sorry that he couldn¡¯t watch Chen Sheng beat up his opponent, since the other party wanted him to leave, there must be a reason. With this thought, Zhou Li stopped dawdling and followed Xu Ying towards the exit. Their departure did not attract much attention. As their figures disappeared from sight, Chen Sheng sat in his seat, closely monitoring his phone. ¡°Breathe¡¡± As soon as they were out of the door, Xu Ying activated his Breathing Method state. Ten secondster, the voice came on time. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ve taken Senior Zhou to the back of the exhibition center.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a wall here that I can climb straight out.¡± ¡°Brother Chen, we¡¯re here, we¡¯ve arrived at the Martial Arts Association¡ª who¡¯s there?!¡± Swish! Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Sheng¡¯s face darkened, and he quickly stood up. If Xu Ying and the others encountered enemies, he was prepared to leave the exhibition center immediately and go for help. The people around him were startled by Chen Sheng¡¯s movement, not knowing what he wanted to do. But at this moment, the astonished voice of Xu Ying on the other end of the phone, ¡°Chairman Zhou, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°And your body, what is¡?¡± The voice of Zhou Tairan followed closely on the phone. ¡°So it was Chen Sheng who asked you to leave?¡± ¡°It seems that you already know what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°I just investigated and found enemies lurking in the Association. This is their blood.¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how many enemies there are, I¡¯m worried that someone might sneak in here and cause trouble, so I¡¯m going to set up a Defense Wall at the exhibition center.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t intend to tell the people inside the meeting about the intrusion, for fear of causing distilrhancpq and conflicts ¡± ¡°But now that you guys are leaving, hurry up and go.¡± Zhou Tairan¡¯s voice was urgent. ¡°Understood.¡± Xu Ying replied. Soon, the other end of the phone fell silent once more. Only the howling wind continued to sound. Ten secondster. Xu Ying¡¯s voice rang again. ¡°Brother Chen, we¡¯re outside the Martial Arts Association now. I¡¯m going to find a nearby hiding ce to take Senior Zhou, and wait until you¡¯re done over there.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Keep the phone connected, don¡¯t hang up until we meet.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± On the battlefield. The first round of the battle had already ended. The winner was Zhao Kongming from the Kongming Boxing Gym. Although his strength was decent, it still wasn¡¯t worth Chen Sheng¡¯s attention. Listening to the faint sounds outside the exhibition center, his guess is that this should be the Defense Wall that Zhou Tairan mentioned. Chen Sheng lowered his head to look at his phone, rapidly tapping the screen as if he were chatting with someone. Soon, the draw for the second round began. Under the instruction of Zhou Qiming, the victorious martial arts halls came forward to draw lots. Kongming Boxing Club got a bye. In the end, Bai Wuyi from the Snake Fist Sect raised his hand the second Zhou Qiming announced the battle pairings. ¡°I forfeit!¡± What a joke. Yesterday¡¯s punch had already let Bai Wuyi see his deceased grandmother and a bright bridge. If he took another punch today, he figured he¡¯d join his grandmother in the afterlife. so, when Bai Wuyi shouted that he forfeited, his face was full of determination, and there was no shame in surrendering without a fight. As for the spectators around, they were not at all surprised. Although there is a saying that a martial artist must be fearless, there is also another saying, more widely circted: A wise person takes action based on the current situation. And just like that, Chen Sheng, who won the match without doing anything, returned to his seat and began practicing the Breathing Technique. Time slowly passed. Chen Sheng closed his eyes, practicing the Breathing Technique as he kept an ear out for the situation outside the exhibition center. The top fivepetition didn¡¯tst long. Wu Ran was as strong as ever. Facing the defensively renowned Turtle Fist School, he still forcefully broke through their defense with powerful w strikes. The fight ended in less than ten seconds. Lastly, only three martial arts halls remained. And Wu Ran, after winning the battle, didn¡¯t leave but continued standing on the battle tform. As Zhou Qiming was about to take out the ss cab again for the remaining three halls to draw lots, ¡°I think we don¡¯t need to draw.¡± He directly interrupted. Then, under the puzzled gazes of Zhou Qiming and the many people underneath the stage, ¡°You. ¡± Wu Ran turned around, first pointed at Zhao Kongming, ¡°And you.¡± Then, he pointed at Chen Sheng. ¡°You two, you cane up together..¡± Chapter 117 - 111: The Tragedy of Arrogance and Emptiness Chapter 117: Chapter 111: The Tragedy of Arrogance and Emptiness Trantor: 549690339 In the midst of speaking, Wu Rans face remained calm. It seemed as if he were merely recounting a trivial matter. However, when his voice fell. Whoosh The entire Venue Center suddenly stirred up a great uproar. Arrogant, unbelievably arrogant! Zhao Kongming, go and show him the prowess of the martial arts world in Haizhou City! Wu Rans strength is indeed remarkable, but where does he get the confidence to be so rampant? Its a pity I couldnt advance to the second round, otherwise, I must give him a taste of his own medicine. Bro, are you serious? Arent you Transforming Power? Without Zhou Tairan present, Just Zhou Qiming alone couldnt suppress the martial artists present. As early as the first round, Wu Rans challenge to various sects was carried out with an indifferent attitude, without even basic courtesy. Adding to it now with such arrogant remarks. those who had fought Wu Ran before were filled with indignation and wished they could gang up on him. Even the leaders of the sects participating in the second round frowned one after another. Li Xingwu, your Xingwu Gym has quite a big reputation. The master of the Kongming Boxing Club said in a deep voice. His gaze at Li Xingwu was tinged with a hint of anger. The gazes of other Martial Arts Hall Masters were simrly unfriendly. Since ancient times, although martial artists often fought, resulting in injuries and death, they still maintained a basic respect for their opponents on the surface. This was the most basic etiquette. Kongming Martial Arts Gym, where Zhao Kongming belonged, was even the top martial arts gym in Haizhou City, being ranked among the top three in terms of strength. Wu Rans actions, were tantamount to stepping on the faces of all the martial arts halls in Haizhou City and rubbing them fiercely. Facing the angry and threatening gazes from people around, Li Xingwu barely squeezed out a smile, apologizing to the people around him with cupped hands. My disciple is young and impulsive, I hope you all wont take it personally. At the same time, his heart was quietlyining. In terms of astonishment, Li Xingwu was no less than the people around him. In his mind, although Wu Ran was a proud person and didnt speak much, he was considerate towards his master and didnt seem to be the kind of person who looked down on others. However, the situation was as it was, Li Xingwu could only grit his teeth and stand firm. As for his apology, the master of the Kongming Boxing Club didnt ept it graciously, but just snorted coldly. Our Kongming Boxing Club wont resort to bullying others with numbers. Following that, he looked at Zhou Qiming. Assistant Zhou, now there are only three left in the Martial Arts Conference. Since Xingwu Gym is so confident, why not let my disciple Kongming go and have a try. I hope Assistant Zhou will agree. With that, he slightly bowed to Zhou Qiming. This ce was, after all, the Martial Arts Association. Even if he wanted to break the rules, he had to ask the masters permission first. Fortunately, although Zhou Qiming had a natural poker face, he wasnt a stickler for the rules. The Martial Arts Conference was called so instead of a martial artspetition, because its main purpose was to rearrange the rankings of the martial arts world in Fuhai Province, and also to provide an opportunity for various sects to spar and get to know each other, increasing their cohesion. The form of the martial arts discussion was secondary. Therefore, after Zhou Qiming pondered for a brief moment, he nodded directly. Very well. The order of the battles will be as follows. Xingwu Gyms Wu Ran will face Kongming Boxing Clubs Zhao Kongming. The winner willpete with Chen Sheng of the Eagle Body Sect for the championship. As soon as the words fell, an already impatient Zhao Kongming leaped to Wu Rans side with a push on his feet. Please dont hold back in instructing! Zhao Kongmings face was as cold as ice, with a clenched fist salute. His hands clenched together, crackling with the sound of his knuckles popping. Clearly, Zhao Kongmings inner feelings werent as calm as they appeared on the surface. Martial artists, with their vigorous vitality and energy, were more prone to anger. If it werent for the sake of their gyms reputation, Zhao Kongming would have rushed up and started fighting Wu Ran at the outset. At this moment, facing Zhao Kongmings oppressive gaze, Wu Ran remained indifferent. Three seconds. He simply stated a time. Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongmings eyebrows furrowed. What are you trying to say? I mean Wu Ran slightly raised his head, looking emotionlessly at him. In his eyes, indifference, like a high and mighty god, looking down on the ants on the ground. To defeat you. It only takes three seconds. Crack!bender As soon as the words were spoken, before Zhao Kongming could react, the ground beneath the feet of the Kongming Boxing Clubs Master at the stage burst open, with cracks spreading in all directions. Kongming! As he shouted in a deep voice, his gaze was fixed intently on Wu Ran. His tone was filled with a chilling coldness. Fight well. Dont ever, ever be underestimated. Toward the end, the Kongming Boxing Club Masters voice grew even heavier, emphasizing each word. Yes, Master! Zhao Kongming replied in a deep voice. Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Blind rage would only affect his control over the battle. At the same time, Zhou Qiming saw that the two were ready. He raised his arm directly outside the venue. I announce.. Kongming Boxing Club versus Xingwu Gym. Thepetition.. begins! Swipe! The arm falls. Breathe. Zhao Kongming directly enters the Breathing Method state. His body keeps growing taller. But the muscles on his body do not expand like other Breathing Technique users. Instead, they continually contract, increasing the hardness of the muscles. At the same time, His skin faintly turns gray and bes extremely rough. Like a humanoid, solid rock. Kongming Fist. Values striking after the opponent, using defense as offense. Softness in hardness, hardness in softness. Combining soft and hard, adapt to all changes with unchanging. Body like empty spirit, mind like a clear mirror. This is the key to Kongming Fist. And Zhao Kongming cultivates two Breathing Techniques. Swallows Breath and Stones Breath. One offense, one defense. Both breakthrough to the secondyer. From the previous two battles with Wu Ran, his cultivated Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound is mainly focused on killing and has extremely strong attack power. Therefore, Zhao Kongming chooses to use Stones Breath to deal with Wu Rans offensive. Come on, lets see how you can defeat me within three seconds! Zhao Kongmings face is determined as he stares intently at Wu Ran. Wu Ran just stands there, Watching Zhao Kongming use Breathing Technique until he enters the Breathing Method state. Only then does he start to act. The first second. Wu Ran takes a step, walking towards Zhao Kongming. His speed seems slow but is actually fast. Just in the blink of an eye, he has already entered Zhao Kongmings attack range. And until this moment, He hasnt entered the Breathing Method state. Zhao Kongming forcibly suppresses the desire to attack and focuses intently on Wu Rans every move. He doesnt show the slightest ck because of the seemingly full of ws in his actions. He believes Wu Ran is not a fool. If the opponent dares to brag, they must rely on something. Perhaps, Its waiting for him to shoot first, then attack his empty guard with the power of thunder. The second second. Step! As Wu Rans footnds on the ground, There is only two steps between them. Zhao Kongming looks intently with his eyes, his attention highly concentrated on Wu Rans body. Suddenly. Swipe! Wu Rans right hand turns into a phantom and directly stabs at Zhao Kongmings throat! In the air, The sharp, urgent whistle suddenly sounds. So fast! Zhao Kongmings pupils shrink. The finger attack is both fast and fierce. Just in an instant, it hase close to his throat. There is even a faint tingling sensation in his throat. If he hadnt resisted just now and attacked forcefully, He might not have even touched Wu Ran and would be directly caught in the w and pierced through the throat. Fortunately, He held back. And this, Is his chance to win! With this in mind, Zhao Kongmings feet rotate slightly toward his side, sessfully avoiding the vital point. At the same time, His right fist suddenly bursts from below. Zhao Kongmings entire bodys force condenses into a powerful blow, striking Wu Rans right shoulder. His eyes are fierce. First, Ill disable one of your arms! Wu Rans speed is faster than his own. That point, Zhao Kongming is well aware of. But his current defense is much stronger than his opponents. As long as its not a vital point, he can exchange injuries with Wu Ran. Just as, Their attacks are about tond on each others bodies. Time, Hase to the third second. Breathe. A sharp inhaling sound suddenly bursts in Zhao Kongmings ear. Its very sharp. Breathing Technique? Toote! Zhao Kongmings face is stern,pletely unaffected. Even if the opponent enters the Breathing Technique, they cant block his punch! AS tney see, Zhao Kongmings heavy fist gets closer and closer to Wu Ran. Finally. With a bang, The fist firmlynds on Wu Rans shoulder. He hit him! Joy shes in Zhao Kongmings eyes. In this way, He has initially taken the upper hand! He takes a step with his left foot, lifts his left arm quickly, ready to pursue the victory, not giving Wu Ran any chance to breathe. But at this moment. Chuckle. A soft sound. Zhao Kongmings movement suddenly stops. Even the joy on his face bes stiff.. Chapter 118 - 112: Start of the Shocking Showdown Chapter 118: Chapter 112: Start of the Shocking Showdown Trantor: 549690339 The exhibition center was silent. Not long ago, The sound of discussion and cheering that asionally rang out during the battle between Wu Ran and Zhao Kongming had already disappearedpletely at this moment. The entire exhibition center seemed to have been paused. Li Xingwus expression was filled with surprise and astonishment. On the other side, He Qi from Crane Fist Sect was even more staring at Wu Ran with rage in his eyes, almost ready to erupt. As for the others, They remained motionless at their original positions, as if they were frozen two or three seconds prior. Their gazes were all focused on the battlefield. To be precise, They were focused on Wu Ran. Hehheh. Zhao Kongmings body was also frozen in ce. His mouth was filled with the taste of rust, and it seemed like a warm liquid was constantly flowing down from his jaw. His eyes moved slightly, seemingly trying to lower his head and see what exactly had happened. However, The rapid loss of strength, coupled with the rapidly engulfing feeling of weakness in his body, Made it impossible for him to even budge. The only thing he could see, Was Wu Ran in front of him. Tall but extremely thin Wu Ran. The others arm seemed to be connected to some part of his own body. Smack. Another soft sound. Wu Rans arm slowly retracted. Zhao Kongming saw it. The end of the others slender and fair arm was soaked in blood. Is this my blood? Did I lose? Before Zhao Kongming could figure it out, He suddenly felt his body be weightless. The view in front of his eyes began to gradually shift upwards. At this moment, Wu Rans face finally appeared before his eyes. The others facial features seemed to have be more three-dimensional, and there was even a faint redness around the corners of his eyes, as if he had applied eyeshadow. It made the originally ordinary-looking Wu Ran look somewhat handsome at this moment. The view continued to move upward. Soon, Zhao Kongming saw the ceiling of the exhibition center. What exactly happened? With that thought, The sight in front of his eyes quickly became blurry. In the end, He fell into darkness. In thest second before losing consciousness, What Zhao Kongming heard beside his ear was the angry roar of his master. Kongming!! Bang! The ground under the foot of the master of Kongming Boxing Club instantly shattered, and the debris sshed around in all directions. His figure leaped high andnded directly on the battlefield. He came to Zhao Kongmings side. He looked at his disciples terrifying bloody hole in his throat, as well as the rapidly dissipating body heat. Ran!!! The masters beard and hair danced wildly, his eyes turned red. Like an angry lion, he wished he could tear Wu Ran apart immediately. However, Even though his rage had almost shattered his own reason, The master still did not choose to act. There was only one reason for this, He was afraid he would not be able to defeat Wu Ran. At this moment, Wu Rans image had changed drastically. Neither in a normal state, Nor in the state of the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound breathing technique. His height was more than two meters, and his body was tall and thin. His hair was like a cranes, hanging down to his waist.bender There was a faint reddish color around the corners of his eyes. His limbs had be extremely slender. He stood silently not far away, like a proud red-crowned crane, looking down at the world below. Without a doubt, This was the Breathing State. No one present had expected, That in a Martial Arts Conference, besides Chen Sheng, someone else would be able to cultivate a breathing technique to perfection and reach the state of the Breathing State. What was even more terrifying was, The breathing state used by Wu Ran was not the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound he had previously demonstrated. It was an entirely new breathing technique. This meant that, While Wu Ran cultivated two breathing techniques simultaneously, he had actually reached the state of the Breathing State in one of them. Such talent was even greater than that of Chen Sheng. These two words, genius, would no longer be enough to describe it. This was simply a monster. Therefore, Even though the master of Kongming Boxing Club was furious, He still didnt dare to recklessly take action. At his age, he often valued reputation more than his own life. With the strength Wu Ran had shown at this point, it was only natural for Zhao Kongming to lose to him. Xingwu Gyms reputation would be greatly affected. However, his Kongming Boxing Club would not be too affected. It could only be said that they were unlucky not to find a disciple with extraordinary talent. But if he, as an old man, personally stepped into battle and still lost, His Kongming Martial Arts Gym might never be able to raise its head in the entire Fuhai Province again, let alone ept disciples. For a time, The master of Kongming Boxing Club was caught in a dilemma. Fortunately, Zhou Qiming, not far away, seemed to see his difficulty and hurriedly stepped forward. Master, dont be impulsive. The most pressing matter is to control Kongmings injuries first. Although he didnt know what the situation was outside at the moment. But Zhou Qiming had already notified Zhou Tairan to call for the medical team. If the medical team was still avable, as long as Zhao Kongmings injuries could be controlled, it wouldnt be a big problem. Even if the medical team couldnt arrive in time, some simple measures could be done on the spot. Fine. Since Zhou Qiming had given a way out, the head of Kongming Boxing Club had no choice but to follow. His gaze swept over Li Xingwu and Wu Ran, snorting heavily. Next, He carried Zhao Kongming without saying a word and walked towards the field, ready to do some simple treatment before the medical team arrived. Can the match continue? Wu Ran didnt care about the performance of the head of Kongming Boxing Club. After Zhao Kongming fell, he looked directly at Chen Sheng, who was looking at ms pnone, me audience seats. From Wu Rans bold words to defeating Zhao Kongming, and now. From start to finish, Chen Sheng never looked up. To him, it didnt matter who he fought. He would win anyway. In contrast, The external situation was more worthy of his attention. Chen Sheng. Not until Zhou Qimings call from the stage did Chen Sheng look up. Will you ept the challenge? Zhou Qiming asked. One minute ago. If you asked the audience who they thought was most likely to be the Martial Arts Conference Champion. It would undoubtedly be Chen Sheng. But one minuteter, now. This answer might change to Wu Ran. In their eyes, Chen Sheng, who had perfected one breathing method, was already strong enough. But Wu Ran, who had practiced two breathing methods at the same time, was undoubtedly a monster-like existence. If Chen Sheng epted the challenge, His fate would probably not be much better than Zhao Kongmings. Therefore, Zhou Qiming gave Chen Sheng a chance to give up. However, To his surprise, upon hearing his question, Chen Sheng stood up without any hesitation and nodded, ready to walk towards the battlefield. For a moment, People around looked at Chen Sheng with admiration in their eyes. Chen Sheng,e on! A cheer suddenly rang out in the audience seats. It was Bai Wuyi from the Snake Fist Sect. If before, his feelings for Chen Sheng were fear of his powerful strength. But now, He sincerely admired Chen Sheng from the bottom of his heart. Facing a stronger enemy, he was fearless and dared to ept the challenge. This was a martial artist. This was a role model for their generation! Come on! Come on! Glorious even in defeat! After Bai Wuyi took the lead. Cheers for Chen Sheng rang out in the audience seats. Hearing this, the corner of Chen Shengs eye twitched. What are these people doing? Did he look so weak? And what the hell was that glorious even in defeat? Chen Sheng even wanted to step forward and grab the cor of the person, questioning what he meant. But because the match was about to begin, Chen Sheng didnt take any action in the end. In this way, He stood in front of Wu Ran, bathed in the admiring gazes and cheers of the crowd. Wu Ran remained in his Crane Form. With a height close to three meters, His long, narrow, red eyes looked down at Chen Sheng. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Wu Ran had been looking forward to fighting Chen Sheng for a long time. In his view, only Chen Sheng was worth going all out for in the entire Martial Arts Conference. Good courage. I hope you can make me use all my strength. In other words, It meant that he still hadnt used all his power now. After saying this, Wu Ran expected to see shock on Chen Shengs face. However, to his disappointment, There was no change on Chen Shengs face, and he even looked absent-minded. Yes. Even till now, Most of Chen Shengs attention was focused on listening to the sounds outside the exhibition center. As for Wu Rans provocation, He didnt care at all. Heh, never mind. Wu Ran smirked, not getting angry because of Chen Shengs attitude. In his opinion, only the weak would feel angry because of others contempt or disregard. While the strong only need to show their strength, and they can easily turn others contempt into admiration. Can the match start? Wu Rans gaze flicked towards Zhou Qiming nearby. Zhou Qiming was still immersed in Wu Rans words just now. He wasnt a dancer, but he could still hear the meaning behind Wu Rans words. Such a powerful form wasnt even his full strength? Zhou Qiming couldnt help but feel sorry for Chen Sheng in his heart. Only after hearing Wu Rans words did he snap out of it. Oh, right, lets start. Zhou Qiming raised his right arm and gradually retreated to the side of the field. Martial Arts Conference finals. Eagle Body Sects Chen Sheng versus Xingwu Gyms Wu Ran. The winner will be the champion.. Chapter 119 - 113: Steps Halted Abruptly Chapter 119 - 113: Steps Halted Abruptly Apanied by Zhou Qiming''s voice, it hovered above the exhibition center. The surrounding noise instantly subsided. Everyone''s attention was instantly focused on the battlefield, their eyes not even blinking, for fear of missing any detail. They were the two strongest people among the Martial Arts Conference contestants. Although in their view, Chen Sheng would most likely be defeated. After all, Wu Ran had an additional Physical Attribute brought by a breathing technique. The gap between them was hard to make up for. But even so. They didn''t think Chen Sheng would lose as easily as Zhao Kongming. Chen Sheng, who had cultivated a breathing technique to Perfection, should be able to hold on for ten or twenty seconds, right? Such an exciting battle, Of course, they had to observe it carefully. Even, many people had already taken out their phones, ready to record. At this time, On the battlefield. Wu Ran looked down at Chen Sheng with a cool face. Just like before when facing Zhao Kongming, there was no change. It seemed that Chen Sheng, who had also cultivated the breathing technique to perfection, was nothing in his eyes. "Ten seconds." Wu Ran spoke again, stating a time. "Within ten seconds, I will end the battle." As soon as the words fell. "Ah, yes, yes, yes." The match was about to begin. Listening to Wu Ran''s arrogant words, he rolled his eyes and didn''t even bother to rebut. He just kept nodding his head, continuously agreeing with the other. Chen Sheng also refocused his attention on the battlefield. Listening to Wu Ran''s arrogant words, he rolled his eyes and didn''t even bother to rebut. He just kept nodding his head, continuously agreeing with the other. Such a perfunctory attitude seemed like agreement but was actually full of mockery. Fortunately, Wu Ran had enough confidence in himself. He only needed to crush Chen Sheng with absolute strength. By then, he could enjoy the shock and fear on the other''s face. "You''ll get to experience it." At that point, Wu Ran slowly spread his arms wide. Combined with his tall body and long arms. His posture looked more and more like a proud Red-crowned Crane. And the surrounding crowd was a bunch of humble, weak and ignorant chickens. "Genuine despair...and pain." Just as the words fell, "I dere..." Zhou Qiming had already stepped off the field. "Start!" The arm fell sharply. The next moment, The audience members with weaker strength just felt their eyes blur. Wu Ran''s figure disappeared right on the battlefield! What happened?! Where did he go? Questions quickly popped up in the minds of many in the audience. However, the faces of the martial arts hall leaders sitting near the edge of the field were extremely solemn, and their eyes were even filled with shock. With their eyesight, They wouldn''t lose sight of Wu Ran''s shadow. Yet, This was what shocked them. That they could only see Wu Ran''s shadow. Yes. Wu Ran didn''t disappear. The reason for the illusion was because his speed was too fast to perceive by the naked eye. At this moment, Wu Ran had already circled the battlefield in an instant, trying to find a weakness in Chen Sheng and strike a fatal blow. However, The more Wu Ran observed, the deeper his eyebrows furrowed. Not because he didn''t find any weaknesses. But because Chen Sheng''s whole body was full of weaknesses! Moreover, it seemed as if he had no intention of entering a Breathing Method state. Was he overly confident? Or did he not realize it? ording to Wu Ran''s pride, he naturally regarded it as thetter. In his generation of martial artists, he didn''t think anyone could surpass him. So, When he thought of Chen Sheng daring to belittle him, even Wu Ran''s eyes shed with anger. Since that''s the case, you''ll die. His eyes turned fierce. Immediately he charged directly at Chen Sheng. The speed that was originally difficult for ordinary human eyes to catch up with increased even more. The speed was so fast that everything around him seemed to slow down. He could even clearly see every change in the faces of the audience at the edge of the field. He could see their pupils shrinking little by little. As for Chen Sheng standing still, At this moment, to Wu Ran, he seemed even more like a motionless puppet, with no reaction. Weak. Too weak. A trace of disappointment shed through Wu Ran''s eyes. He thought that facing Chen Sheng, he could unleash all his power to the fullest. But now, even though he had already reached the side of the opponent, the other was still unaware. With such weakness, even if he entered Eagle Body State, how could he keep up with his speed? Having the power but still being a target to be beaten was all there was to it. For a moment, Wu Ran felt tasteless. The idea of fighting Chen Sheng to his heart''s content waspletely thrown behind him. Weakness is the original sin. Weakness is right in front of his path forward. That''s a capital crime! With that thought, His gaze became focused and he hesitated no more. Step! The ground crumbled, and dirt flew all around. Wu Ran''s feet remained firm, and the force gathered around him in an instant. His long arms shot out like an arrow off the string, piercing towards Chen Sheng with a sharp whistling sound. And now, It seemed as if Chen Sheng had just noticed Wu Ran''s existence, with a faint tendency to turn his head. "Inhale¡ª" As the inhaling sound suddenly burst out. Chen Sheng''s body seemed to have a tendency to swell. Only, in the eyes of the audience, that reaction seemed a bit too slow. Wu Ran even sneered. Were you only thinking about using the Breathing Technique now? It''s toote! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om His fingertip was less than two centimeters away from Chen Sheng. Before Chen Sheng could change, he could stab him to death. "Not good!" As he watched, Chen Sheng was about to follow in Zhao Kongming''s footsteps. There were continuous screams from the audience. Some even got up emotionally. However, What no one expected was, When Wu Ran''s fingers touched Chen Sheng, Crack! The crisp sound of broken bones. It spread through the center of the venue. Where it passed, the original cries and noises were all wiped out. Wu Ran''s face was also full of astonishment. He watched his fingers hit Chen Sheng''s skin. Like an egg hitting a boulder, his finger twisted instantly into a bizarre arc and broke. Bone fragments flew out. Blood sshed like rain on Wu Ran''s shocked face. Then, Unspeakable pain was transmitted from his fingertips. "I don''t have time to y with you now." "Go y by yourself." Along with that, Chen Sheng''s words came. There was no need to start the Breathing State to deal with just Wu Ran. Chen Sheng''s attributes alone were enough to suppress him. The reason why he activated the Breathing State, Was for another reason. Chen Sheng didn''t care about Wu Ran. He turned around but didn''t continue to attack him. Instead, he looked solemnly in the direction of the exhibition center''s entrance. With Chen Sheng''s senses, he could clearly hear the approaching footsteps and... ...the sound of firearms being loaded. However, Although he didn''t have the time to deal with Wu Ran, Wu Ran didn''t think so. Even though Chen Sheng didn''t even fight back, Wu Ran broke two of his fingers. But Wu Ran didn''t think he was weak. Because under the Crane Form, his attack power was indeed not enough. Plus, he only used two fingers just now. So, In Wu Ran''s view, he was just being too arrogant. "Fine, fine, fine." Breaking two fingers not only didn''t make him timid, Butpletely aroused Wu Ran''spetitive spirit. His smile grew more and more unbridled. "Chen Sheng, I admit you''re a worthy opponent, worth my full strength." Whoosh! As Wu Ran spoke, he quickly retreated from Chen Sheng. Only when he reached a safe distance did he stop. Looking at Chen Sheng''s massive body and those pitch-ck arms, For the first time, Wu Ran''s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. "Inhale¡ª" In the Crane Form, he quickly activated Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. In an instant, His originally thin body began to swell. His muscles bulged and spread all over his. Without affecting his speed, Wu Ran''s power was maximally increased. His pupils gradually turned amber. The tips of his fingers sharpened, and a cold light shimmered faintly. "Heh¡ª" With a mouth full of sharp teeth, Wu Ran greedily inhaled the air. Unleashing all hisbat power seemed to put a tremendous burden on his body. "Three minutes." "In this state, I can hold on for three minutes." "I hope you''ll let me enjoy it." At the broken fingertip, the muscles contracted, stopping the blood flow. Wu Ran grinned, his mouth stretching almost to his ears. He stomped his right foot on the ground. Boom! The entire venue seemed to tremble slightly from his stomp. An incredibly fierce aura spread from him. Is this... activating a Breathing Technique during the Breathing State?! Those in the audience closest to the battlefield even held their breath unconsciously. They had seen Wu Ran''s fingers break just now, and thought Chen Sheng''s strength was far beyond Wu Ran''s. But the power Wu Ran disyed now was just too terrifying. The constant reversals, Shook the audience''s confidence in their judgments. Next second. Boom! The trembling sensation came again. Wu Ran''s huge body leaped high, stretching his arms to their limit. "Come on, Chen Sheng!" "Show me your limit!" At this point, Wu Ran, after fully unleashing hisbat power, no longer looked indifferent. His face was like a madman. His entire body was filled with a strong desire for battle. The huge body was getting closer and closer to Chen Sheng. The sharp nails emitted waves of cold under the light. Whoosh! His nails tore through the air, sounding a series of intense screams. His target was Chen Sheng''s skull. However, This time, Just as Wu Ran approached Chen Sheng''s attack range, A thick, dark blue arm suddenly stretched out, its muscles as strong as steel and exuding a metallic sheen. p! He had no time to react, and the big hand firmly gripped his head, lifting it in midair. "Ugh¡ª" Wu Ran couldn''t utter a sound but struggled violently. However, his sharp nails scraped against Chen Sheng''s skin and caused no harm. Instead, they broke. "Didn''t you hear me?" "I told you to get lost." With that, Chen Sheng casually threw him, and Wu Ran''s massive body instantly flew back, crashing into the wall of the exhibition center and forming a huge pit. The lower half of his body hung in midair, swaying. His upper body was embedded deep into the wall. Chapter 120 - 114: Champion and Enemies Attack Chapter 120 - 114: Champion and Enemies Attack Ka¡ª¡ª crack! The sound of a wall cracking echoed in the exhibition center. Although the sound was not loud, in the silent exhibition center, it seemed extremely clear. Wu Ran''s body was embedded in the wall above the audience seats. As for his life or death, it was uncertain. Chunks of broken stones fell from above, hitting people''s heads. However, they were oblivious to it, standing still, staring nkly at the figure on the battlefield. From the moment Wu Ran showed his strength and killed Zhao Kongming in seconds. To Chen Sheng stepping onto the stage, fighting with Wu Ran, and like swatting a fly, casually smashed him into the wall. It seemed like a long time had passed. But in reality, it was just a matter of minutes. However, the events that happened in such a short period of time made the surrounding audience''s emotions roller coaster-like, with great ups and downs. First, Wu Ran''s attack in the Crane Form could not even break Chen Sheng''s defense. Later, Wu Ran activated Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound again in the Crane Form. That domineering and invincible attitude. Most people on the scene put themselves in his shoes and felt that if it were them, they would probably have weak legs just standing in front of Wu Ran, without any intention to fight with him. Yet, Wu Ran, with his terrifying strength, seemed in front of Chen Sheng like a child who had just learned to walk, trying to challenge the world boxing champion. He had no power to resist from beginning to end. Looking at Chen Sheng on the battlefield, who had already entered the Eagle Body State. That three-meter-tall figure, with streamlined muscles gleaming with a metallic luster, embedded all over his body. And those ink-ck arms. People''s hearts were not filled with shock or joy. Only fear.... and the involuntary chill that made their bodies tremble. Is... this really a human? Even the Breathing State they had seen before didn''t have such an exaggerated body as Chen Sheng''s. Not to mention the power carried by his body. Simply staring at him felt like a small animal facing a natural enemy, instinctively feeling cold in their hearts and trembling in their bodies. If the terrifying talents that everyone saw in Wu Ran were those of a genius martial artist. Then Chen Sheng now... had gone far beyond that. Calling him a monster. Was not an exaggeration. That''s how humans are. Facing someone slightly stronger than themselves, they feel envy. Facing someone much stronger than themselves, they feel jealousy. But facing someone far beyond their imagination, all they have is fear. Therefore, even though Chen Sheng had practically imed the championship of the Martial Arts Conference at this moment. No one in the audience cheered for him. Even many people''s eyes were filled with deep suspicion and fear. "You... what exactly are you..." At this moment, the one who spoke was Li Xingwu who had been watching the battle from the side. Compared to the other people''s suspicion and fear. On top of his fear, he was more puzzled. After witnessing Chen Sheng''s strength, Li Xingwu no longer believed like before that Chen Sheng took Li Chenghu as his master to seize the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. With the strength Chen Sheng had shown, there was no need to beat around the bush. It was likely that the entire Xingwu Gym,bined with Jincheng District''s Wu''an Bureau, would not be enough for Chen Sheng to fight with one hand. Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. He could simply forcibly snatch it; no one would be able to stop him. But.... Back then, Li Xingwu had clearly examined Chen Sheng''s physical condition. Whether it was muscle content, blood flow speed, or heartbeat strength. All were signs of having just be a Qi-sensor for a short while, with extremely weak strength. Could it be.... Li Xingwu seemed to think of something, and hisplexion suddenly became extremely ugly. After ruling out all impossibilities, only thest possibility was left. That is... Chen Sheng was indeed weak at first. Joining Xingwu Gym was indeed purely to be an apprentice and to improve his martial arts skills. But Li Xingwu didn''t want to believe this possibility. Because once he believed it, it meant that he had driven out a terrifyingly talented genius from his own martial arts hall. His several disciples repeatedly provoked him, further antagonizing Chen Sheng. If this were true... What had he done? In his mind, scenes of him reprimanding, despising, and indulging Li Qian in insulting Chen Sheng kept shing before his eyes. Finally, the image froze on Chen Sheng''s back when Li Xingwu drove him out of the martial arts hall. He looked at Chen Sheng on the battlefield, who had an invincible demeanor. In his mind, scenes of him reprimanding, despising, and indulging Li Qian in insulting Chen Sheng kept shing before his eyes. Finally, the image froze on Chen Sheng''s back when Li Xingwu drove him out of the martial arts hall. At that moment, Li Xingwu felt his heart tightening in pain. Feeling the pain that kepting. His breathing became heavier and heavier. Fortunately, Chen Sheng never cared about the thoughts of those around him, let alone knew Li Xingwu''s inner thoughts at this moment. His eyes were always fixed on therge door of the Exhibition Center, bing more and more focused. Just now, As Wu Ran was going crazy, the footsteps outside the exhibition center had already grown closer. Until now, They hadpletely disappeared. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The owners of those footsteps... were already standing outside the exhibition center. Perhaps responding to Chen Sheng''s thoughts. Just as this thought entered his mind, Thud! A loud noise suddenly exploded. The exhibition center''s doors were kicked open with a powerful force, The loud noisepletely broke the silence inside the venue. Thick smoke instantly poured in from outside the door. Whoosh whoosh- The iron door ripped through the smoke and flew out. It spun violently in mid-air at an extreme speed, stirring up a sharp breaking air sound, turning into a circr de aiming at Chen Sheng. If the person facing it had been an ordinary martial artist, They would''ve only been able to dodge this sudden attack quickly, not daring to face it head-on. But Chen Sheng stood in ce, without any intention of moving his body. Those around him hadn''t even reacted to the sudden change, When they saw Chen Sheng''s arm suddenly turning into a shadow, grabbing the flying object in front of him. Crack- As the grating sound of friction echoed, The iron door, which was originally flying at high speed, was caught by Chen Sheng''s hand. His body was not affected at all. Chen Sheng expressionless, casually threw it to the side. The iron door was thrown on the ground not far away, making a nging sound. At this moment, Those around him finally woke up from their daze, scrambling to their feet. "Who?!" "Who''s there?" "Is someone attacking?!" Many people thought of Zhou Tairan''s departure, Along with the attacker''s aggressive action of kicking down the door. It was obvious that the neer meant harm. Facing a suspected enemy attack, the crowd no longer focused on Chen Sheng but instead tightened their bodies and watched the door with somber expressions. p p p- A round of apuse suddenly sounded from the door. "Brother Chen, Brother Chen." "Although we haven''t met before, I''ve long admired you." "On meeting you today, you are indeed extraordinary, a talented person." A slightly mature and gentle voice sounded, Apanied by apuse, Mister Hai walked out of the smoke. Behind him, Clusters of footsteps sounded one after another, Combat personnel armed to the teeth with firearms and even masks on their faces, walked out from behind the smoke. At least ten people were there. They spread out, If you don''t then, They raised their firearms and pointed the ck nozzles at all the martial artists present. Whoosh- A group of people''s expressions changed dramatically. The sounds of gasps could be heard everywhere. Many martial artists practicing breathing techniques in the venue didn''t hesitate and directly entered their breathing state. "Everyone, nice to meet you." "Let me introduce myself." After thebat personnel behind him took their positions, Mr. Hai raised both hands with a smile and calmed the restless crowd. "I''m Hai, you can call me Mister Hai." Saying this, Mister Hai put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the crowd. "Next, I have something to say. Please stay quiet." However, he did say it. But it didn''t mean that the martial artists here would necessarily listen. "What the hell are you?!" At this point, a young, strong martial artist questioned aloud. Unexpectedly, Bang! Just as he finished speaking, A gunshot suddenly erupted. The brow of this martial artist had an extra hole running through it, bearing a faint scorching mark with the smell of barbecue wafting out. The scent diffused instantly, causing the faces of those who smelled it to turn pale. "Anyone who interrupts me again, "Will die." But with Mr. Hai''s gentle, yet cold voice echoing, No one dared to move. Martial artists might be fast enough to face firearms and not be as vulnerable as ordinary people, At a certain distance, ordinary people with firearms could hardly pose any threat to martial artists. But ten rifles, let alone assault rifles, And being dozens of meters away from them, If everyone were to forcibly break through, they could do it, But at least half of them would have to stay here. Therefore, For a while, no one dared to move. Chapter 121 - 115: Undercover and Reversal of the Situation Chapter 121: Chapter 115: Undercover and Reversal of the Situation Trantor: 549690339 But there was one exception. Chen Sheng. Although he hadn¡¯t tested his current muscle defense with firearms. He had enough confidence. With his own speed, he was definitely beyond the tracking of thesebat personnel¡¯s naked eyes. Moreover, before the enemy could spray a wide range of fire, he could rush into their midst and tear them apart. But he didn¡¯t make a move. It was because of Mr. Hai¡¯s presence. The moment the opponent appeared before him. Chen Sheng had activated the Eye of True View. And the result he saw. Made him frown deeply. [Hail [Strength: 41] [Agility: 40] [Constitution: 42] [Realm: Hidden Element Realm] [Skills: Pigs Cry for Drought Level 3] Mr. Hai was the first Entering Realm Martial Artist Chen Sheng had ever seen. He was also the only one who had higher attribute values than him under normal circumstances. Considering the strange name of the opponent¡¯s skill, which Chen Sheng had never heard of and didn¡¯t know its effect, he couldn¡¯t help but be cautious. If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Hai¡¯s presence, Chen Sheng would have easily defeated these handheld rifle-wieldingbat personnel. But with Mr. Hai and a dozen guns, Even Chen Sheng didn¡¯t have full confidence. ¡°Please rx, everyone.¡± At this point, Mr. Hai¡¯s gaze swept over the crowd. Seeing that no one spoke again, he nodded with satisfaction. The smile on his face grew brighter. ¡°I¡¯m here, not to take your lives.¡± ¡°As long as you tell me the breathing techniques of your respective sects.¡± ¡°I can assure you that you will not be harmed in the slightest.¡± As he spoke, Mr. Hai turned his head and scolded thebat personnel with a pretence of anger. ¡°What are you doing with the guns?¡± ¡°What if you scared everyone?¡± ¡°Put it down quickly!¡± tter¡ª Under Mr. Hai¡¯s reprimand, Thebat personnel put down their guns directly. Great opportunity! Seeing this scene, the martial artists¡¯ eyes suddenly lit up. Mr. Hai seemed to have a problem with his brain. He was so arrogant in the face of so many martial artists. Not only did he let thebat personnel put down their firearms, but he even turned his head away, not paying attention to them. To know, Those who appeared at the Martial Arts Conference could be considered as the strongest group of martial artists in Fuhai Province. They were all in the Transformation Realm or above, and even had their breathing techniques cultivated to the first, second, or even perfect levels. The distance from the audience seats to the main entrance was no more than tens of meters. It would take them less than a second to reach the opponent. And as long as they were within ten meters, Even firearms couldn¡¯t keep up with their speed. so, ¡°Now! ¡± As soon as Mr. Hai finished speaking and before he could turn around, The master of Kongming Boxing Club suddenly roared. At the same time, he stomped his foot andunched himself toward Mr. Hai at breakneck speed. His thoughts coincided with those of most people present. Swish! Swish! Swish! The sound of breaking air was continuous. Almost at the same moment, all the martial artists present instantly entered their strongest state. The ground under their feet shattered, and their bodies shot towards Mr. Hai and thebat personnel like arrows off the string. ¡°Wait ¡ª damn it!¡± Chen Sheng on the fighting stage frowned and tried to stop them, but it was toote. Did these people still think Mr. Hai was at the same level as them? Since the opponent dared to act so fearlessly, it was because he was not afraid of them making a move. But havinge this far, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t intend to stand idly by. Even if these people were weak, they could still help him deal with the disruptivebat personnel. As for Mr. Hai, Although his attributes were high, From what he could see so far, He was not without the power to fight. With that thought, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t hesitate any longer. Boom! The ground suddenly copsed! Chen Sheng¡¯s huge body soared high, went after the majority of the martial artists in the field, and directly confronted Mr. Hai. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with him.¡± ¡°You deal with those with guns.¡± Although previously, the strength Chen Sheng disyed made the people feel frightened. However , When such a terrifying monster was on their side, The sense of security was off the charts! Therefore, When Chen Sheng¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°All right!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± The martial artists didn¡¯t hesitate, They instantly changed their body shapes, preparing to directly bypass Mr. Hai and rush toward thebat personnel behind him. In just a blink of an eye, They had already crashed into the enemy¡¯s ranks, ready to subdue everyone except Mr. Hai. At the same time, Whoosh¡ª With the sharp sound of breaking air, A huge shadow covered Mr. Hai and the ground beneath him from above. A thick, ck-blue muscr arm mmed down toward his skull. If this hitnded, Mr. Hai would probably be crushed into a puddle of flesh in an instant. But right at that moment, Swish! Mr. Hai, who had been looking at the rear, suddenly turned his head, He looked up at Chen Sheng with excitement, seemingly not concerned about the impending attack. As he spoke, Mr. Hai raised the phone in his hand, aiming its screen at Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, what do you think this is?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Swish! Chen Sheng¡¯s fist, Stopped barely at Mr. Hails nose. The remaining force of the punch blew Mr. Hai¡¯s hair and scraped deep bloody marks on his cheeks. At the same time, Thump. Thump. The sound of bodies falling one after another echoed behind him. On the ground, Everyone wore a horrified expression. They had no idea why, but as soon as they got close to thesebat personnel, their bodies suddenly went limp, unable to move at all.. Chapter 122 - 115: Undercover and Reversal of the Situation 2 Chapter 122: Chapter 115: Undercover and Reversal of the Situation 2 Trantor: 549690339 Could it be¡ the smoke is poisonous? Then why isn¡¯t Mr. Hai affected?! Bathed in the shocked gazes of the people behind him. Mr.Haiughed. ¡°Ha¡ hahaha¡ hahaha!!¡± Heughed so hard that he bent forward and backward, very exaggeratedly. The opposite of that was Chen Sheng¡¯s gloomy face like still water. In Mr. Hai¡¯s mobile phone screen, Xu Yingy on the ground, with her life and death unknown. Zhou Li was tied up with ropes, struggling in the direction of the camera, and constantly making sobbing sounds from his mouth. The surroundings were very dark. But one could vaguely see that the two seemed to be in a sewer. At this moment, A voice came from the phone. ¡°This old and young duo sure knows how to hide.¡± ¡°Luckily I hid a tracker on this old man.¡± A young face appeared on the mobile phone screen, waving at Chen Sheng with a smile. ¡°Chen Sheng, right?¡± ¡°Although you might not know me, Old Man Zhou Li was able to sessfully register thanks to my efforts.¡± ¡°Let me introduce myself.¡± The young man stepped back a little and slightly bowed to Chen Sheng. ¡°I, Lu Yang, am an ordinary staff member of the Fuhai Martial Arts Association.¡± Behind him, Zhou Li red at the young man who introduced himself, his eyes almost spitting fire. This was the staff member who epted three thousand yuan from Zhou Li when he registered. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a mole nted by the mysterious organization within the Martial Arts Association. ¡°You watch them closely.¡± ¡°Remember, don¡¯t act rashly.¡± ¡°But if anything happens to me, a little movement is not impossible.¡± After getting an affirmative reply, Mr. Haiughed and turned off the phone. ¡°What do you want?¡± Chen Sheng asked in a deep voice. ¡°I want¡¡± Mr. Hai¡¯s eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. ¡°I want to know your secret.¡± ¡°I want to know the secret of your rapid strength increase.¡± ¡°Can you tell me?¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng fell silent. Panel and Breaking Limits were his biggest secrets. Once this secret is known, countless people would be coveting the mysteries of his body. If he were caught by mistake, his body would be thoroughly examined and tested from the inside out. At that time, his life would be no different from hell. At this time, Seeing that Chen Sheng remained silent. ¡°Sigh¡ª¡± Mr. Hai shook his head and sighed. ¡°I knew it.¡± He suddenly stretched out two fingers and stabbed at Chen Sheng¡¯s chest. ng¡ª However. When his fingers touched Chen Sheng¡¯s skin, The sound of metal collision rang out. His fingers did not go in even an inch. ¡°Oh wow.¡± ¡°Tough.¡± Mr. Hai looked surprised. But he was not discouraged. The piercing sound of metal friction kept ringing, making people¡¯s teeth tingle. Mr. Hai¡¯s fingers turned red, faintly radiating high temperature. A smell of roasted meat wafted up from Chen Sheng¡¯s chest. Chen Sheng naturally wouldn¡¯t just sit and wait for death. But just as he raised his hand, trying to stop the other party, Mr. Hai smiled and raised his phone, shaking it slightly in front of him. The meaning of his words was, More obvious than ever. Chen Sheng¡¯s movements stagnated. At the same time, Under the dual pressure of high temperature and Mr. Hai¡¯s constantly rotating fingers. A ¡®Pu Chi¡¯ sound was heard. The skin on Chen Sheng¡¯s body finally broke open. ¡°Can you tell now?¡± Mr. Hai looked at Chen Sheng yfully. His sharp fingernails slowly sunk into the flesh. Until it reached Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. Feeling the pain from his heart, Chen Sheng seemed unaffected, just looking at Mr. Hai in front of him, his eyes getting colder. ¡°Hey, that¡¯s scary.¡± Mr. Hai pretended to be terrified. ¡°So scary, I don¡¯t dare to ask you anymore. I might as well take you back for some adjustment and training.¡± Having said that, He exerted force on his arm again. In the next second, his fingernail would pierce Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. ¡°Wait.¡± But just at this moment, A voice rang out from behind, stopping Mr. Hai¡¯s actions. ¡°Don¡¯t cause any more trouble.¡± ¡°Hurry up and finish questioning.¡± An old yet powerful voice came through. A burly figure slowly revealed its outline in the smoke and walked towards Chen Sheng. Upon hearing this voice, The eyes of the many martial artists lying on the ground were filled with horror. This voice!!! ¡°All sorted?¡± Mr. Hai looked back again. He gazed towards the figures in the smoke. ¡°Yes.¡± An answer apanied. Step. Feet stood firm. The neer raised his head, staring straight into Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t inform the Wu¡¯an Bureau,¡± ¡°No matter you or anyone else, as long as you honestly hand over the Breathing Technique, none of you will die.¡± ¡°But now, most of those infiltrating the Martial Arts Association, including me, have been exposed.¡± ¡°For the sake of my safety.¡± ¡°You all¡must die.¡± ¡°The difference is only early orte, painful or easy.¡± As soon as Zhou Tairan finished speaking, ¡°Hey, hey, hey!¡± Mr. Hai, on the side, called out with discontent. ¡°I promised not to hurt them. Are you trying to ruin my n deliberately?¡± While talking, He held his chest, looking utterly heartbroken. With his movement, Those fingers embedded in Chen Sheng¡¯s chest continued to twitch incessantly. Intense pain spread from his heart, causing the veins on Chen Sheng¡¯s forehead to bulge. But his face remained expressionless. Zhou Tairan ignored Mr. Hails performance. ¡°Chen Sheng, be honest and tell what¡¯s needed to be said.¡± ¡°This guy may be mad¡¡± Upon saying this, Zhou Tairan looked at Mr. Hai, implying something. Which immediately caused thetter¡¯s discontent. Before Mr. Hai could retort, Zhou Tairan continued to speak. ¡°But he is an Entering Realm Martial Artist.¡± ¡°Even if you all join forces, you won¡¯t be his match.¡± ¡°As long as you reveal the Breathing Technique, I can assure you Zhou Li will not die.¡± ¡°How about that?¡± After saying this, Zhou Tairan looked quietly at Chen Sheng, waiting for his response. However, what he found strange was that, Neither being pressed against his heart by fingers, Nor seeing his appearance, Chen Sheng¡¯s expression did not change the slightest from beginning to end. He seemed not surprised at all that he was undercover. Nor did he fear getting pierced through his heart by Mr. Hai¡¯s fingers. ¡°You¡¡± For some reason, Looking at the indifferent face of Chen Sheng, Zhou Tairan felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding rising from the bottom of his heart. He frowned, wanting to speak, But at this moment, Mr. Hai¡¯s mobile phone suddenly rang. ¡°Wu¡¯an Bureau, don¡¯t move!¡± ¡°Not good!¡± Boom Boom Boom!! A series of footsteps and gunshots rang out. What¡¯s going on?! Whoosh! Mr. Hai¡¯s face changed, And he finally stopped maintaining that aggrieved appearance. He picked up his phone. On the screen, Lu Yang, who was just smiling, was now lying on the ground. His face froze with a puzzled expression, Seeming to not understand why the Wu¡¯an Bureau could find him so quickly. At this moment, A member of the Wu¡¯an Bureau walked over, picked up Lu Yang¡¯s phone. ¡°Mr. Chen.¡± ¡°Captain Li asked me to ry a message.¡± ¡°You can take action now.¡± Hearing this, Mr. Hai and Zhou Tairan¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank. Could it be¡ that Chen Sheng had contacted others from the Wu¡¯an Bureau earlier?! Not good, they must retreat as soon as possible. ¡°Take them all and withdraw!¡± Originally, they nned to execute them on the spot after finding out the Breathing Technique. In that case, no one would know that Zhou Tairan was the mole. But now, Everything had been exposed. They could only take these people away and find a ce to interrogate them slowly. As long as they could find out the Breathing Technique, this operation would not be a failure. Thinking of this, Mr. Hai applied force to his arm, preparing to pierce Chen Sheng¡¯s heart first, causing him to lose consciousness. After all, he was the strongest person among everyone present. Even if Mr. Hai wanted to defeat him, it would take some effort. But just then. ¡°Phew¨C¡± A sigh suddenly sounded in Mr. Hails ears. It seemed someone had let out a breath. And then, ¡°You bastard.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s emotionless voice echoed in his ears. Whoosh! Mr. Hai raised his head and looked at the other party. when he saw was a pair or c eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve been tolerating you for a long time..¡± Chapter 123 - 123: 116: Start of War and Terrifying Suppression Chapter 123 - 123: 116: Start of War and Terrifying Suppression Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Bearing with me for a long time?¡± Mr. Hai looked at Chen Sheng with a half-smile, half-chuckle, repeating his words. Then, He seemed unable to contain his emotions. With a snicker, Heughed out loud. ¡°Hahaha¡ Hahahaha!¡± ¡°Brother Chen, you really are¡ so interesting.¡± As heughed, he patted Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder with his palm. ¡°Hai, stop ying around.¡± ¡°If we wait for the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s people, even if we can escape, it will be hard for us to take these people.¡± Zhou Tairan frowned deeply, looking at theughing Mr. Hai. ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Mr. Hai raised his hand, trying to suppress his emotions. ¡°You take them away first.¡± ¡°As for me¡ I¡¯ll catch up quickly.¡± As he said this, With a wave of his hand, Thebat personnel behind him quickly picked up the martial artists on the ground, preparing to leave the exhibition center. Zhou Tairan stood in ce, looking at Chen Sheng. Such a pity. With Chen Sheng¡¯s powerful talent, if guided by a good teacher, he would definitely have a bright future. But now¡ Thinking about this, A trace of regret shed in Zhou Tairan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± With hismand, He quickly followed thebat personnel and left. At this moment, Those martial artists with limp bodies, unable to move, Were still looking at Chen Sheng with hopeful eyes, hoping he could quickly defeat Mr. Hai and save them. This scene was seen by Zhou Tairan. ¡°Don¡¯t bother.¡± Leaving the venue center anding out into the open, He spoke emotionlessly. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for many years, and I can¡¯t bear to see your hopes shattered.¡± ¡°But, as I said just now,¡± ¡®Entering Realm Martial Artist Hai is not someone Chen Sheng can contend with. ¡± As he said this, Seeing that these martial artists all red at him with a look of disbelief as if he was talking nonsense, Zhou Tairan sighed helplessly. ¡°Maybe you don¡¯t have a concept of Entering Realm Martial Artists.¡± ¡°But I can tell you.¡± ¡°If Chen Sheng is likened to a strong, barehanded adult male,¡± ¡°Then Hai, he is a man with a stronger body than Chen Sheng, wearing heavy armor, and carrying arge-caliber assault rifle.¡± ¡°Unless Mr. Hai tries to kill himself, otherwise¡ Chen Sheng has no chance of winning. ¡± As he said this, Everyone still had a look of disbelief. Some even closed their eyes, as if they¡¯d rather not see. Maybe it¡¯s not that they don¡¯t believe. It¡¯s that they can¡¯t bear to believe. Because once they believe Zhou Tairan, Thest glimmer of hope in their hearts will bepletely shattered. But even so, Zhou Tairan¡¯s words just now still echoed like a demonic sound in everyone¡¯s minds. Entering Realm Martial Artists¡ That¡¯s the term used to distinguish transcendent and ordinary martial artists. If Mr. Hai really is an Entering Realm Martial Artist, Then they, including Chen Sheng, Are as good as dead. At the thought of this, Everyone¡¯s hearts sank. Exhibition center. ¡°Brother Chen, aren¡¯t you going to stop them?¡± Mr. Hai pointed at the departing people, looking at Chen Sheng with a half-smile, half-chuckle. ¡°I¡¯ll kill you first, then go after them.¡± Chen Sheng looked down at Mr. Hai. It seemed that he had full confidence in his words. ¡°Here we go again.¡± Mr. Hai shook his head andughed. ¡°I don¡¯t know where¡¡± With a whoosh, The fingers embedded in Chen Sheng¡¯s chest were suddenly pulled out. A trail of blood and charred bits of flesh followed. The blood-stained palm clenched into a fist. ¡°Where you get your confidence.¡± Smack! A burst sounded from the palm. It was the sound of air being crushed. Mr. Hai¡¯s arm gradually turned red. Hissing¡ª In the hissing sound, The fresh blood on his palm evaporated quickly. Next second, Stomp! Mr. Hai¡¯s right foot instantly sank into the ground. His arm suddenly turned into a red phantom, carrying a sharp whistle as it pierced toward Chen Sheng¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Brother Chen, just lie down.¡± The corners of Mr. Hail s mouth curled up, and his voice entered Chen Sheng¡¯s ears. He didn¡¯t activate his Breathing Technique. But it wasn¡¯t due to arrogance. It was unnecessary. With the physical strength of his Entering Realm body, Even in an ordinary state, his strength was not something unentered realm martial artists in Breathing State couldpare to. Combined with the abilities he gained after Entering Realm, Even in his normal state, he could easily crush Chen Sheng. The difference was just how much force he used. Right up to now, A confident smile still adorned Mr. Hai¡¯s face. It seemed as if he could foresee a scene of Chen Sheng¡¯s abdomen being pierced and charred by his own strike. However, What he didn¡¯t expect was, He was fast, But Chen Sheng, Was faster. ¡°Is that so?¡± Apanied by a chilling voice, Bang! The ground under Chen Sheng¡¯s feet instantly copsed. An imposing force descended from above his head. The bulging ck arm suddenly shot out, bringing with it a whistling wind, and smashed straight towards Mr. Hai¡¯s fist. Boom!! At the moment fists collided, the tremendous force poured out. The ground copsed again, countless broken stones sttered out, knocking several holes into the surrounding walls. Centered around the two, the air wave swept towards all directions, blowing away tables and chairs not far away. Even more, boundless dust was stirred up, immediately obscuring the two figures. Swish¡ª A figure abruptly retreated. It was actually Mr. Hai. Under the sweep of Chen Sheng¡¯s great strength, his arm had already twisted beyond recognition. During the process of his body smashing into the wall, droplets of fresh blood continuously sprinkled, blooming into blood flowers on the ground. ¡°How is this possible?!¡± Mr. Hai stared wide-eyed, his previously calm andposed demeanor nowhere to be seen. He, who could cultivate at least four or five Breathing Techniques to tap into hidden potential, and relied on the powerful Pork Cry Drought Breathing Technique to step into the Hidden Element Realm. How could he actually be inferior to Chen Sheng, who hadn¡¯t even entered the realm, in terms of strength and speed?! Before Mr. Hai could make sense of it ¡ª He only heard a loud bang. Intense pain instantly enveloped his body. Under the violent impact, the wall instantly formed a roundrge dent. The entire exhibition center trembled under the force. White ash on the ceiling fell like a flurry of snow, merging with the dust on the ground, quickly leaving the entire exhibition center in haze. At this moment, Mr. Hai had just extricated his body embedded in the wall andnded on the ground. ¡°Damn it¡ª ¡°What kind of monster are you!¡± ¡°You obviously haven¡¯t entered the realm and have only practiced a single Breathing Technique, where does this body strengthe from?!¡± Mr. Hai stared intently at the direction of Chen Sheng in the smoke. ¡°Impossible?¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s indifferent voice was heard from far away. Boom! The rumbling noise instantly exploded. The earth was trembling with a certain rhythm. Amid the dust filling the entire venue, a roaring wind rose, growing louder and louder. It seemed as if some huge object was rapidly approaching him. Whoosh! Strong wind mixed with tiny sand hit Mr. Hai¡¯s face, leaving scratches across his face. In the dust, A huge silhouette appeared. A shadow was cast over his head from above. ¡°There is nothing impossible.¡± Along with Chen Sheng¡¯s cold voice, The whistling sounds of fists cutting through the air constantly began to be heard. ¡°Die. ¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s arms formed a flurry of fist shadows, pouring all of his strength towards Mr. Hai before him. Boom! Boom! Boom! The wall visibly shattered and copsed. The entire exhibition center shook violently, emitting mournful cries as if unable to bear the burden, seemingly about to copse in the next second. Far away. Zhou Tairan, who was about to leave the Martial Arts Association, looked back. Listening to the rumbling noisesing from the venue, A hint of pity shed in his eyes. With such a hugemotion, Chen Sheng, at the moment¡ should probably be better off dead. Boom! The stones flew out, and the dust inside the venue began to spread outwards. A body mixed with the stones flew out. It was Mr. Hai, with his body twisted beyond recognition. His face was covered in blood, the clear expressions already lost. Just as he was about to fly out into the world, At that moment, Swish! A bulging and ck-violet arm suddenly broke through the dust and instantly grabbed Mr. Hai¡¯s skull, pulling him straight back into the venue. Boom! Chen Sheng grabbed the skull and directly nailed it to an unbroken part of the wall. Afterward, His massive body moved. Bang! Bang! Bang! This way, Chen Sheng forcefully pressed Mr. Hai¡¯s head against the wall. Along the way, the wall continuously cracked, broken stones sttering in all directions. The wall, already covered in cracks, formed another deep trench. Finally. Only a plop was heard. Mr. Hai¡¯s body, now soft like mud, fell from the wall. His skull had twisted so badly that it was no longer recognizable, a mixture of red and white, even his face couldn¡¯t be clearly seen. Chen Sheng slowly retracted his hand. Furrowed his brows. He raised his palm. Burning pain kepting from his palm. Moreover, the aroma of roasting meat rose as the smoke wafted around. Chen Sheng¡¯s palm was actually burned and cracked open by the high temperature. He had never heard of such an ability. Fortunately¡ Chen Sheng lowered his head, looking at the miserable Mr. Hai on the ground. The opponent¡¯s body had already lost any signs of life. Next, it was time for him to catch up with Zhou Tairan and the others. With this thought, Chen Sheng turned around and prepared to chase after them outside the venue. However, He had just prepared to take a step. ¡°Cough¡.cough!¡± Behind him, A coughing sound unexpectedly was heard. Swish! Chen Sheng turned his head, his eyes shing with surprise. Not dead yet?! On the ground, Mr. Hai¡¯s body, which had already lost any signs of life, was twitching slightly. Chen Sheng could clearly see, That the opponent¡¯s chest was rising up and down. And also, ¡°Inhale The sound of inhaling echoed from Mr. Hai¡¯s mouth.. Chapter 124 - 124: 117: Going All Out Against Entering Realm Martial Artist Chapter 124 - 124: 117: Going All Out Against Entering Realm Martial Artist Trantor: 549690339 Thunk! Thunk, thunk! A strong and forceful heartbeat suddenly resonated from within Mr. Hails body. Apanied by the rapid pulsating of his heart. The shriveled and frail body that Mr. Hai was left with after being struck by Chen Sheng was visibly expanding at an observable rate. Amidst the clear sound of colliding bones. His stature steadily risen. The twisted, fractured limbs were rapidly healing as well. Afterwards, His body began to continuously turn red, emanating intense heat. Hiss¡ª Barely visible smoke continually rose from his body. The blood on the surface of Mr. Hai¡¯s body was evaporating rapidly. Thump! Watching the scene unfold in front of him. Chen Sheng had not the slightest hesitation. He instantly dashed in front of Mr. Hai. His muscr, dark blue arm instantly whipped up a gust of breaking wind as he mmed it towards Mr. Hail s skull on the ground. Yet, Right as his fist was about tond. Boom! A hand illuminated with a red light suddenly held it firmly. Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils shrank; his entire body delivering its full force onto his opponent. Yet, The palm gripping his fist remained utterly unmoved. Not only that, Leaden hisses of burning could be heard. Smoke continuously arose from where they made contact. ¡°You enjoyed¡that beating just now, didn¡¯t you?¡± A somewhat hoarse voice emanated from the figure beneath him. Upon raising his gaze, Unknowingly, Mr. Hai¡¯s disfigured skull had already returned to its initial state. The fresh blood on his face had alreadypletely evaporated, only leaving behindrge red blotches. His gaze was cold and ruthless, bearing no resemnce to his former demeanor. Seemingly, Chen Sheng¡¯s sessive barrage of blows earlier had sparked his aggression. As soon as the words left his lips, Without waiting for Chen Sheng¡¯s reply, He suddenly raised a stout leg, kicking towards Chen Sheng. Boom! His palmnded solidly on the abdomen. Chen Sheng¡¯s enormous body, to everyone¡¯s surprise, was sent flying backwards, crashing into a wall on the other side of the venue, raising a cloud of dust. ¡°Do you know, what the biggest difference between an Entering Realm Martial Artist, and yourselves, is?¡± Mr. Hai slowly lifted himself from the ground. His formerly refined middle-aged facade had long since vanished. Mr. Hai, in his current state, was as tall as Chen Sheng. His scarlet skin was proliferating intense heat incessantly. Just him standing in one ce was enough to cause visible distortion in the surrounding air. At his elbow and knee, A bone spur had even grown respectively. His entire being appeared to be a creature born forbat. ¡°The human body holds infinite mysteries and limitless possibilities.¡± ¡°Before attaining the Entering Realm, a Martial Artist needs to practice the Breathing Technique, continuously uncovering potential hidden deep within the body.¡± ¡°When you have unearthed enough potential, the essence of your life begins to gradually transform.¡± ¡°In the end, when you cultivate a Breathing Technique, and break through it to reach the Breathing State stage-¡± ¡°You will see the existence of Qi.¡± By now, Mr. Hai stepped towards the direction where Chen Sheng had been sent flying. The ce was enveloped by a substantial amount of dust, obscuring the view of what was inside. A smirk arose on the corner of Mr. Hai¡¯s mouth, his head held high, with both arms extended. Along with the directive of his thoughts. Underneath his skin, a crimson light radiated from his body. This was apanied by waves of heat that distorted the air around him. ¡°Do you see?¡± ¡°This is the effect of Qi.¡± ¡°Qi, formless, weightless, yet beneficial to all things in the universe.¡± ¡°We humans cannot control it directly.¡± ¡°But under the effect of certain Breathing Techniques, our bodies will instinctively absorb qi, and gain various peculiar abilities.¡± ¡°The Breathing method I practice, Pork Cry Drought, gives me extraordinary regenerative power and the ability to control my body temperature.¡± Mr. Hai feigned regret, shaking his head and sighing. ¡°What a pity, what a pity.¡± ¡°Brother Chen, what you don¡¯t know is, the first twoyers of the Breathing Technique are only used to unlock gic potential, no matter how many you practice it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°But the Breathing Techniques used for breakthroughs to the Breathing State and even higher levels, at most only three can be practiced.¡± ¡°And each time you break through the Breathing State, the increase in your strength will be less and less, and there can¡¯t be too much conflict between them.¡¯ ¡°Therefore, when breaking through to the Breathing State for the first time, one must choose a Breathing Technique with a high enough limit.¡± ¡°Because as you break through, your inner potential will be fixed, and those gic potentials that conflict with the Breathing Technique you practice willpletely disappear.¡± Upon saying this. In Mr. Hai¡¯s eyes. There was a hint of pity. ¡°Now, do you understand my meaning? ¡°Although your talent is near demon-like, your limit, has already been set.¡± ¡°To break through with such a low-level Breathing Technique, you will never be able to step into the Realm in your lifetime.¡± Having said that. Step. Mr. Hai stood in front of the dust cloud. He was looking at the huge silhouette within the haze. He expected to hear Chen Sheng expressing a sense of loss, shock, or disbelief. However , To his disappointment. ¡°Have you finished speaking?¡± Within the dust cloud, Chen Sheng¡¯s voice did not contain the emotions he expected. Mr. Hai nodded with a smile. He merely thought of Chen Sheng as a frog in the well,pletely oblivious to the gravity of what he had just said. ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°However, speaking of it.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been hiding in the smoke, are you trying to escape?¡± Mr. Hai tilted his head, watching the silhouette in the smoke with a mirthless smile. ¡°I¡¯m observing.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s indifferent voice emanated from within. ¡°Observing what?¡± Curiosity surfaced on Mr. Hails face. ¡°Observing your strength, to decide whether I should run or kill you.¡± ¡°So what are the results of your observations?¡± Mr. Hai asked, smiling. ¡°To kill you.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s voice was exceptionally firm. ¡°Are you so confident?¡± Mr. Hai was taken aback. He did not expect that after seeing his current state, Chen Sheng could still maintain the same confidence as before. ¡°I was initially a bitcking in confidence.¡± ¡°Because unlocking all my strength takes some time, and I was constantly worried that you would take the opportunity to attack me.¡± ¡°Fortunately for me, you sure do talk a lot.¡± [Hai] [Strength: 61] [Agility: 60] [Constitution: 63] This was Mr. Hails current panel. Much weaker than Chen Sheng had imagined. Therefore, He decided¡..to kill him. All of his strength? But the terrifying power and speed Chen Sheng demonstrated a moment ago. Wasn¡¯t that his full strength? Mr. Hai was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously thought that Chen Sheng was bluffing. But in the next second, A huge shadowy figure slowly stood up from within the smoke. Boom. Boom. Apanied by the heavy thumping sound of his footsteps, like a sledgehammer striking metal, it started to reverberate throughout the arena. It was deafening. What is this?! Mr. Hai stared intently at the enormous shadow in the smoke, his expression gradually darkening. A faint sense of foreboding began to rise in his heart. Then, Chen Sheng, in his Eagle Body State, Slowly walked out of the smoke, standing before him. The crisp sound of bone collision was constantlying from inside Chen Sheng¡¯s body. His figure was getting taller and taller, And the musclesyered on his body were constantly wriggling and contracting. Eventually, they gleamed like metal. How is this possible?! Mr. Hai¡¯s pupils contracted. This was clearly the manifestation of entering the Breathing Technique State. Could it be¡ Like Wu Ran, Chen Sheng was also cultivating two Breathing Techniques simultaneously? The more Mr. Hai thought about it, the more possible it seemed. A strong sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart. He couldn¡¯t let Chen Sheng continue to transform. Although Mr. Hai believed Chen Sheng¡¯s maximum potential was already capped and there was little room for improvement, To him, Chen Sheng remained a significant threat. Not that he couldn¡¯t beat him. But if Chen Sheng¡¯s strength increased again, He wouldn¡¯t be able to hold back. For such a rare ¡°specimen¡± , Mr. Hai didn¡¯t want to let it go. With this thought, He no longer cared about keeping up appearances. Step! He took a step back. His right arm abruptly lifted, held out to his side. Hot red light was circting under his skin, ready to explode. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, don¡¯t resist.¡± For the first time, a hint of coldness seeped into Mr. Hai¡¯s voice. Obviously, His patience was wearing thin. Just as his words faded. Boom! His arm, like a cannonball, wrapped in scorching red light, sted towards Chen Sheng. Although Chen Sheng showed strength beyond his expectations once again, Mr. Hai was fully confident in his own attack. Since he had advanced to the realm, he rarely had the opportunity to attack with full force. But every single time, Without exception, HIS enemies would be cruelly crushed under his overpowering strength. Chen Sheng, Would be no exception. Mr. Hai¡¯s eyes were intense. He watched as, His fist was about to puncture Chen Sheng¡¯s body. But just then, Snap. A pitch-ck hand blocked in front of his fist. Mr. Hai¡¯s deadly strike was casually blocked. As Chen Sheng¡¯s hand lightly tightened, Only the hissing sound of burning remained, apanied by wisps of smoke, constantly rising from where the fist and hand met. That was the sound of Chen Sheng¡¯s skin burning. But it only burned his outer skin. How is that possible?! He suddenly lifted his head. In an instant, His expression was somewhat confused. What filled his vision seemed to be a perfectly crafted ancient Greek sculpture. A huge body close to four meters tall. Every muscle, distributed throughout his body in perfect proportions and sizes. The oing sense of power was almost suffocating. Crack¡Crack! Mr. Hai had to tilt his head to the utmost. That¡¯s when, He met Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes, emotionless as an ancient well. Those were the eyes of a god, looking down upon ants. All at once, the hairs on his body stood on end. The warning bell in his head rang crazily. He had to strike first! Otherwise, He would die!! Mr. Hai didn¡¯t hesitate any longer. He roared. The crimson light on his body shone even brighter. The high temperature evaporated all the moisture in the vicinity, casting puffs of white mist. All his muscles swelled instantly. Crack! The energy around him consolidated into a single force in an instant. The ground beneath Mr. Hai¡¯s feet caved in bit by bit. The hissing sound of burning rang out again where their fists met. This time, He finally broke through Chen Sheng¡¯s skin. His arm was about to be melted by the high temperature. Next second. Chen Sheng moved. Boom! His muscr dark arm suddenly struck out, hitting Mr Hai¡¯s face. After a brief pause. A creaking sound. Mr Hai¡¯s body was shot out like a bullet. But his arm, Remained behind. St. Nonchntly shaking off the remaining heat from the detached arm in his hand, Chen Sheng looked at his palm. With a contraction of his muscles, The palm that had been burned to a crisp healed quickly. ¡°I heard you earlier.¡± ¡°Your healing abilities are very strong?¡± Chen Sheng lifted his head, looking at Mr. Hai who was deeply embedded into the nearby wall. ¡°I wonder, if you were beaten into a pulp, could you still recover?¡± What?! Upon hearing this, Mr. Hai who was bracing the intense pain and anger, and was about to pull his body out of the wall, suddenly froze. The next second. A huge shadow, Blocked his entire field of vision.. Chapter 125 - 125: 118: Return and the End of the Event Chapter 125 - 125: 118: Return and the End of the Event Trantor: 549690339 Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association secret passage. In the dim secret passage, Zhou Tairan led a group of people, moving forward quickly. This passage had been built since the early days of the Martial Arts Association, connecting several kilometers away to a remote residential area. He had already contacted the personnel who were supposed to pick them up. At the exit of the secret passage, mysterious organization personnel had already arranged vehicles and clothing. As long as they reached the exit, they could disguise themselves as ordinary citizens and leave the urban area in various vehicles. Boom¡ª Boom¡ª As everyone walked. Above the ground, the faint sound of explosions was still ringing in their ears. Above the people¡¯s heads, small stones fell like raindrops and hit them as the ground shook continuously. The martial artists carried by thebat personnel seemed to have lost hope, their faces filled with despair. Listening to the movement above. They no longer had any hope for Chen Sheng. Zhou Tairan¡¯s face was solemn, and he asionally looked up at the ceiling. He realized that he had underestimated Chen Sheng¡¯s strength. To be able to persist for such a long time under Mr. Hail s hand and cause such amotion. Now, The people of the Wu¡¯an Bureau would definitely arrive faster. The time left for him and his people was running out. Zhou Tairan believed that with Mr. Hai¡¯s strength, even if he was surrounded by the Wu¡¯an Bureau, he would still be able to break through sessfully. But they couldn¡¯t do the same. Once they were discovered by the Wu¡¯an Bureau, the operation could be dered a failure. ¡°Speed up a bit.¡± With this thought in mind, Zhou Tairan looked back at the group ofbat personnel and quickened his pace at the same time. In the dim environment, The people sped up their advance. Fortunately, thebat personnel were all equipped with night vision devices, so they didn¡¯t worry about making mistakes due to the dim light. After two or three minutes of walking, The rumbling noise above their heads finally stopped. Until now, Zhou Tairan slowly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mr. Hai had finally dealt with Chen Sheng. Considering his speed, he should catch up with them within two or three minutes. The people continued to move forward. As expected, A few minutester. Thump! Thump! Heavy footsteps came from the darkness behind the group of people. At the same time, The secret passage began to shake again, with an amplitude far greater than before. It seemed a colossal figure was rapidly approaching the group. Feeling thismotion, Thebat personnel quickly raised their firearms, aiming at the darkness hQhind th¡¯?rn ¡°Don¡¯t panic. ¡± Zhou Tairan¡¯s face was expressionless, and he raised his hand to signal them to calm down. ¡°It should be Mr. Hai.¡¯ With that one sentence, The glimmer of hope that had shone in the eyes of the martial artists was instantly extinguished. The people stopped in their tracks, waiting silently. The originally cold and damp secret passage began to warm up slightly. Zhou Tairan¡¯s expression grew more rxed as he looked at the small red light glowing deep in the darkness. A few secondster, The shaking in the secret passage stopped. The heavy footsteps gradually slowed down. A face faintly appeared in the darkness. Zhou Tairan turned to look. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that it was Mr. Hai. Though his expression was a bit weak and his face was covered in blood, Zhou Tairan didn¡¯t doubt it, just furrowing his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Why so slow?¡± ¡°Did you get into the habit of toying with your opponent again? However, Mr. Hai did not answer his question. Instead, he opened his mouth and let out continuous groans. Huh? Zhou Tairan frowned. He had a feeling something was wrong, that something was off. Mr. Hai approached slowly. The next second, Zhou Tairan¡¯s eyes widened. His body instinctively prepared to attack. Not only him, The people around him were also startled. Swish swish. Thebat personnel quickly raised their firearms, pointing them directly at Mr. Hai. More urately, They aimed at his head. At this moment, What appeared before everyone was only Mr. Hai¡¯s head. The rest of his body below the neck hadpletely disappeared. ¡°Found you.¡± Behind the head, Chen Sheng¡¯s voice slowly sounded. Immediately after, The giant body slowly stepped out of the darkness. He was nearly four meters tall, almost touching the top of the secret passage. Perfectly proportioned muscles were evenly distributed throughout his body. Both of his arms were as ck as ink. One of them was gripping Mr. Hail s head. It was because Chen Sheng¡¯s arms were so ck that Zhou Tairan hadn¡¯t seen the thick arm behind Mr. Hai¡¯s head earlier. Mr. Hai¡¯s eyes were dull,pletely devoid of any spirit. During their previous battle, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t dare to hold back at all, for fear that Mr. Hai would seize an opportunity to fight back. He had beaten him to the point where only the head was left to dig out information about the organization from his mouth. But all the way, Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s continuous torture and interrogation, Mr. Hai remained silent. Chen Sheng had thought that as long as he allowed Mr. Hai some time to recover from his injuries, he would continue the interrogation. After all, He was still somewhat interested in information about the miraculous breathing technique known as the Pork Cry Drought and the mysterious organization. But whether Mr. Hai intentionally eliminated his own ability or not was unknown. Chen Sheng watched as Mr. Hails vitality slowly faded away. And the temperature emanating from his head gradually weakened. Until now, He was near death. ¡°What a pity.¡± With that thought, Chen Sheng¡¯s palm loosened, Letting Mr. Hai¡¯s head fall to the ground. Suddenly, There was a loud smack, And Mr. Hai¡¯s head burst open like a watermelon. Some of the nearbybat personnel were even sttered with blood and brain matter. However, even so, They still stood in ce, motionless. In front of Chen Sheng, who had unleashed his full power, these ordinary people unconsciously held their breath, fearing they might upset him.. Chapter 126 - 126: 118: Return and Event Conclusion 2 Chapter 126 - 126: 118: Return and Event Conclusion 2 Trantor: 549690339 Even Zhou Tairan, who used to be the president of the Martial Arts Association, felt his whole body hair stand on end, and his hands and feet turned cold. Gulping. Zhou Tairan swallowed saliva, and a cold sweat slowly ran down his forehead. His feet were slowly moving backward. ¡°If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t move.¡± At this moment, Chen Sheng, who was disgustingly shaking his leg, raised his head and looked at Zhou Tairan. When he stared at him, Zhou Tairan¡¯s body froze instantly. ¡°Chen Sheng¡ what kind of monster are you? His question, Chen Sheng did not answer. Instead, he looked at thebat personnel and spoke expressionlessly. ¡°Put your guns down.¡± tter. Without any hesitation. The moment the words fell, More than ten rifles appeared on the ground. ¡°How can I untie their situation?¡± Chen Sheng pointed to the martial artists on their backs. ¡°They just inhaled a special medicine, and their nerves have been paralyzed.¡± ¡°But this effect won¡¯tst too long, at most two hours, and it will gradually recover.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded. He pointed to one of thebat personnel. ¡°You, take off your clothes.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Thebat personnel were very fast. In just a few seconds, he took off all hisbat suits, even nning not to spare his underwear. ¡°No need for underwear.¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t have that kind of hobby. Having unleashed all his strength, the clothes he wore had already shattered into strips. Only a pair of ultra-tight shorts and a red cloth, which he hastily pulled as an apron at the venue center, were left on his body. After obtaining the clothes, Chen Sheng exited the Breathing State and put them on. When Chen Sheng¡¯s figure shrank, Everyone in the silent secret passage took a sigh of relief. Chen Sheng in his full strength state was just too oppressive. Only when the other party returned to a normal body size did they dare to breathe deeply. At this time. After Chen Sheng had dressed, he sat down directly where he was. He stretched out his hand, indicating that the waiting party should all sit down. ¡°The Wu¡¯an Bureau will arrive soon.¡± ¡°Before that.¡± ¡°Whoever moves, dies.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s tone was very calm, as if he was just chatting casually. But to the ears of the crowd, It was like an indisputablemand. They dared not defy it. so, In unison, In the secret passage, everyone sat down. Except for Zhou Tairan. ¡°Chen Sheng, let me go.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help hide the fact that you killed Hai.¡± ¡°Although you can kill Hai, there are many people in the Holy Sect who are stronger than him.¡± ¡°Among the Twelve Envoys, Hai is the weakest, not to mention there are the Four Saints and the Sect Master above.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not exaggerating, once the Holy Sect discovers that you killed Hai, you will definitely die.¡± Zhou Tairan¡¯s face was solemn, as he vowed firmly. Holy Sect. This was the first time Chen Sheng heard the real name of the mysterious organization. And this so-called Holy Sect also had something like Twelve Envoys, Four Saints, and Sect Master. It didn¡¯t sound like a legitimate church. He fell into contemtion, seemingly weighing his options. After a brief moment, Chen Sheng raised his head and looked at Zhou Tairan. ¡°Chairman Zhou. ¡± ¡°Is my championship still valid?¡± ¡°There will still be rewards, right?¡± He didn¡¯t pay attention to Zhou Tairan¡¯s words but asked his own questions. Upon hearing this, Zhou Tairan was stunned at first, But to make Chen Sheng let him go, he still nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, in these two days, not only is Fuhai Province holding a Martial Arts Conference, but other provinces are too.¡± ¡°The monitoring data is directly connected to the Kyoto database.¡± ¡°In these two days, the prizes and the championship certificate should be delivered.¡± What Zhou Tairan said was true. Although he had cut off the monitoring before Mr. Hai entered the venue, Chen Sheng¡¯s videos of defeating Wu Ran and his previous opponents should have appeared in the database of the Kyoto Martial Arts Association Headquarters by now. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng finally nodded with confidence. Then, A faint smile appeared on his face. ¡°I never ept threats.¡± ¡°And I don¡¯t trust you.¡± ¡°So, my answer to your earlier words is¡ no.¡± People like Zhou Tairan could not be more than 20% credible when they spoke. Moreover, Chen Sheng was not in the habit of entrusting his own safety to others. He believed that if he agreed, Zhou Tairan would most likely use this as leverage to force him to work for him. Therefore, He chose to refuse. Upon hearing this, Zhou Tairan¡¯s face instantly darkened. He hesitated for a moment as if he was weighing his options. After all, his knees slowly bent as though he was going to honestly sit down. ¡°In that case.¡± ¡°Then I also¡¡± Swoosh! His words were only half spoken, Zhou Tairan¡¯s feet pushed forward, and his figure suddenly rushed towards the distance. Having been the Chairman of the Martial Arts Association for decades, Zhou Tairan knew very well what punishment the Wu¡¯an Bureau had for Q-sensors who broke thew. That meant he would lose his qualifications to be a strong person. Instead of being caught obediently, he may as well fight desperately. With that thought, Zhou Tairan clenched his teeth, exploding with a speed faster than ever before, trying to escape the secret passage before Chen Sheng caught up. However, He had only run a few steps when¡±Didn¡¯t I say it before?¡± ¡°If you move again, you¡¯ll die.¡± Stter. As soon as the words fell, Chen Sheng¡¯s palm pierced through Zhou Tairan¡¯s body. The running body was forcibly stopped. ¡°Heh¡Heh.¡± Zhou Tairan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But all that came out was fresh blood. With a thud, The once muscr body fell heavily to the ground. ¡°Just kidding..¡± Chapter 127 - 127: 118: Return and Event Conclusion_3 Chapter 127 - 127: 118: Return and Event Conclusion_3 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°I¡¯m not a murderer.¡± ¡°You should just wait patiently for the Wu¡¯an Bureau to handle this.¡± Chen Sheng shook the fresh blood off his hand, seeing the fear instilled in the surrounding people, none of them dared to move. He said this with a slight smile. Indeed. If Chen Sheng wanted to kill Zhou Tairan, he could just smash his head directly. But there¡¯s no need. It¡¯s better to let the Wu¡¯an Bureau judge him. And so, Chen Sheng sat back on the ground again. At this moment, The people around him returned to their previous state. Everyone sitting on the ground, looking down at the ground, not even daring to breathe heavily. Time quickly passed. Ten minutester. The personnel from the Wu¡¯an Bureau quickly arrived. The head of the Fuhai Province Wu¡¯an Bureau first expressed his gratitude to Chen Sheng. Initially, when Chen Sheng called the Wu¡¯an Bureau, they were prepared to deploy arge number of teams to directly surround the Martial Arts Association. It was Zhou Tairan¡¯s call, telling the Wu¡¯an Bureau that the situation was under control, that stopped them from continuing their action. After all, The cooperation between the Fuhai Province Wu¡¯an Bureau and the Martial Arts Association has always been good. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Sheng notifying Li Chenghu in the Jincheng District just in case, and contacting the head of the bureau directly through him ¨C They might never have discovered that so many undercover agents were within the Wu¡¯an Bureau, and even the chairman of the Martial Arts Association was one. ¡°No harm done.¡± ¡°You guys can handle the rest.¡± ¡°Where are my people?¡± Chen Sheng politely nodded. Hearing the news that Zhou Li and Xu Ying had already been sent to a nearby hospital, He stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°Wait¡.wait!¡± Just as Chen Sheng got up, Someone suddenly called out from behind. He turned his head back. He saw it was Li Xingwu. He was slightly lowering his head, not daring to look Chen Sheng in the eye. After realizing that he may have misunderstood Chen Sheng and was now saved by him, The old man felt somewhat guilty. ¡°Chen¡Chen Sheng, Wu Ran¡he¡..¡± In his battle with Chen Sheng, Wu Ran used a breathing technique that was not from the Xingwu Gym. Li Xingwu realized that his own disciple might not be as simple as he thought. But since he was his disciple, Li Xingwu was still somewhat worried. ¡°He¡¯s dead.¡± ¡°Because of him.¡± Chen Sheng pointed to the remains of flesh and blood on the ground. When Zhou Tairan and the rest left the venue, Wu Ran was still hanging on the wall, so he was not taken away. After that, The fierce battle between Chen Sheng and Mr. Hai virtually reduced the entire exhibition center to ruins. And Wu Ran, the ¡°small ant¡± in the midst of the battleground Couldn¡¯t escape the aftermath of the battle. Therefore, Chen Sheng wasn¡¯t exactly lying. At this moment, Hearing about the death of hisst disciple, The light in Li Xingwu¡¯s eyes quickly dimmed. After this battle, His three disciples. Two are dead, one is missing. And the provocation of Wu Ran before his death, towards many martial arts gyms present, will make Xingwu Gym struggle to take a step in Fuhai Province ever again. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right.¡± Chen Sheng was about to leave, as if he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and looked at Li Xingwu. ¡°I didn¡¯t lie before, I really didn¡¯t kill Guo Yang.¡± ¡°He was in collusion with this mysterious organization and was injured by me when he tried to attack me.¡± ¡°As for where he went, I have no idea.¡± At this point, Li Xingwu doesn¡¯t doubt Chen Sheng anymore. Moreover, since the other party dared to speak about this in front of Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s personnel, its credibility is even higher. In an instant, Li Xingwu seemed to have lost all vitality, even his body became somewhat hunched. As for this old man¡¯s reaction, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t care. The reason why he lied now was just to clear all suspicions about him from Li Chenghu. Having said that, He left without changing his facial expression. Although there were some twists and turns in this Martial Arts Conference, he had already achieved his goal. Next, he would return to Quanjiang City, and while waiting for the Spirit Seed to be delivered, he would seize the time to enhance his own strength. After witnessing the power of Pork Cry Drought controlled by Mr. Hai with his own eyes. He became increasingly optimistic about the effects of the Profound and True Martial Arts breathing technique. Time flies. A dayter. Quanjiang City, Port District. The entrance of Yinghui Grocery Store. ¡°Hey hey hey, be careful, boy!¡± ¡°This ss door of mine is quite old, if you break it, you will have topensate me!¡± ¡°Sorry¡ sorry.¡± Xu Ying, with Zhou Li on his back, just opened the ss door of the grocery store, and was immediately scolded by Zhou Li. Xu Ying hurriedly apologized out of fright. ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize to him, this old man likes to be scolded.¡± ¡°If you scold him back, he will get more excited.¡± Chen Sheng calmly entered the store. Hearing this, Zhou Li¡¯s eyes bulged. ¡°Damned Little Chen, what nonsense are you spouting!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not as indecent as you think!¡± Zhou Li strenuously defended himself. But Chen Sheng didn¡¯t listen at all. He directly bypassed the back door of the grocery store, ready to return to his room. Seeing this, Zhou Li snorted heavily. He patted Xu Ying¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Xu, don¡¯t you dare emte that scoundrel, he has no respect for the old or the young.¡± Hearing that, Xu Ying didn¡¯t dare to respond. He could only cough awkwardly, pretending not to hear. At this, Zhou Li looked as if he was disappointed with Xu Ying, constantly muttering to himself. He tried to pull Xu Ying into the same camp with him, the two of them together quarreling with Chen Sheng, to see if they could stand a chance. Listening to Zhou Li¡¯s nagging, Xu Ying walked on, a smile emerging on his face. Compared to being in the Rabbit Fist Sect, where he was constantly worried, and where fellow disciples even held grudges against each other for Xu Yang¡¯s favor, the Eagle Body Sect, although dpidated andcking both a signboard and a training ground, was like a paradise to him. What¡¯s more¡ Xu Ying came to the backyard and looked at the wooden house with the door open. The Sect Leader of the Eagle Body Sect¡ was very strong. In fact, among all the people he knew in Fuhai Province, the Sect Leader was arguably the strongest. If he could receive guidance from him, perhaps one day he himself could¡ ¡°Why are you standing there grinning like a fool?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s awkward for me on your back?¡± At this moment. Zhou Li¡¯s words pulled Xu Ying back from his daydreaming. ¡°Oh, oh, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xu Ying quickly apologized. Then, Under Zhou Li¡¯smand, he carried him back to the room and prepared a bed for him. During the surprise attack by the Holy Sect, the enemies captured Zhou Li and, to prevent him from escaping, broke both his legs. He is now quite handicapped, with Xu Ying helping him with many tasks. ¡°That¡¯s enough, young man, you don¡¯t need to keep busy, go tidy up your own room. ¡± ¡°You should rest too.¡± Zhou Li, seeing Xu Ying busying himself around the room, waved and suggested. ¡°It¡¯s okay, senior Zhou, I¡¯m quite good at these tasks, it won¡¯t take long.¡± While Xu Ying was saying this with a smile, he was speeding up his movements. Seeing this, Zhou Li sighed silently. But in the end, And so it was. Xu Ying busied himself about, cleaning up the entire courtyard and grocery store which had not been inhabited for a long time. During the process, Chen Sheng offered to help, but Xu Ying rejected his offer. Having nothing to do, Chen Sheng stood in the courtyard, ready to practice. Now, The threat of the Holy Sect, and the threat of the Heavenly Person, were like des hanging above Chen Sheng¡¯s head, ready to fall at any time. He needed to seize the time to enhance his strength in order to deal with these threats.. Chapter 128 - 128: 119: Meeting Standards and Attribute Upgrade Chapter 128 - 128: 119: Meeting Standards and Attribute Upgrade Trantor: 549690339 Night. Inside the Eagle Body Sect. Due to the haste of the three people returning, there was no time to buy vegetables for a while. At dinner time. Chen Sheng directly called the takeaway number from the entrance of the alley, asking them to cook a few dishes and send them over. At this moment, The three of them sat around the stone table in the backyard. Chen Sheng ate like a whirlwind, his arms darted out like lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. The dishes decreased at a visible speed. Xu Ying¡¯s hand with the chopsticks stretched out, trying several times to pick up some food, but all attempts ended in failure. For a moment, the 18-year-old handsome young man could only sit awkwardly on the side, his face showing a troubled expression. ¡°Little Chen!¡± At this moment, Zhou Li suddenly spoke. ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Sheng looked up while shoveling rice into his mouth. ¡°Do you believe I can flip this table over?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be able to flip it even a little.¡± With his cheeks bulging, he mumbled indistinctly. ¡°Hey! I have a bad temper!¡± Zhou Li¡¯s eyes widened as he rolled up his sleeves, wanting to challenge Chen Sheng one-on-one. ¡°Xu, don¡¯t stop me. Today, I will let this little bastard see what the Eagle w Hand is.¡± In the afternoon, Xu Ying boiled the spirit medicine soup and let Zhou Li drink it. ¡®l¡¯ne Old man¡¯s spirit nad clearly Improved a lot. His two thin and dry arms swayed in the air, forming the gesture of the Eagle w Hand, as if wanting to grab at Chen Sheng. But after swaying for a long time, Zhou Li didn¡¯t make a move. He turned his head to see Xu Ying still sitting in his original position. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you stopping me?¡± Huh? Didn¡¯t you just tell me not to stop you? Xu Ying looked puzzled. After being confused for a few seconds, he finally came to his senses and got up, pretending to hold Zhou Li back. ¡°Senior Zhou, just let it go.¡± ¡°Get lost! ¡± Zhou Li waved his hand irritably. Xu Ying, with a bitter face, sat back down. Fortunately, Although Chen Sheng picked up food quickly, He ate quickly as well. In just two or three minutes, he had finished his dinner. Putting down his bowls and chopsticks, Chen Sheng went straight to the kitchen. Zhou Li had started boiling the spirit medicine soup two hours ago. By now, it was just the right time. He lifted the iron pot, poured the soup into a bowl, and Chen Sheng drank it all in one gulp. The scalding soup was sent into his stomach all at once. Feeling the hot flow going through his throat, reaching his abdomen, then gradually converging to his limbs from the abdomen. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t waste any time and quickly returned to the courtyard. He called up his panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 39] [Agility: 40] [Constitution: 38] [Skills: Profound and True Martial Arts level o: 42/50000] [Skill Points: 35] From yesterday to today, although a lot of time was spent on the road and dealing with things, Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes still increased by about four points overall. He was only 12 skill points away from upgrading to the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that practicing Profound and True Martial Arts was too conspicuous and not suitable for practicing in public, Chen Sheng¡¯s improvement would have been even greater. This was also why he was in such a hurry to return to the Eagle Body Sect. Fortunately, he could now focus on improving his strength. Chen Sheng had been looking forward to this ancient human breathing technique for a long time. Thinking about it, his tall body slowlyy down. Both his palms and feet touched the ground, and his back arched high. Chen Sheng slowly moved his right leg back, stretching it to the limit. This was the stance of the Profound and True Martial Arts. It was extremely bizarre. Every time he practiced Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng would recall the scene he saw in the cave at the bottom of the river. The Xuanwu divine beast with its thick limbs was roaring at the sky, and the mysterious snake tail behind it also stood up straight, staring coldly at the sky. The ocean beneath it seemed to respond to the call of the Xuanwu divine beast, surging with waves of giant waves. Whenever Chen Sheng took this pose, he always felt as if he had transformed into that Xuanwu, stirring up the towering waves to drown his enemies. With this in mind, Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes. He was still not familiar with the Profound and True Martial Arts. It took a little bit of controlling the strength of the muscles in his body and the rhythm of his breathing to gradually enter the state of cultivation. At this moment, Zhou Li, who was on the side, saw Chen Sheng¡¯s stance. His face immediately showed a terrified expression. He hadn¡¯t forgotten, how his heart almost exploded when he was merely watching Chen Sheng practice at the Martial Arts Association. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡± ¡°Eat! ! ? He hurriedly urged Xu Ying to eat quickly, while his own speed of eating increased rapidly. Xu Ying was somewhat confused. Although Chen Sheng¡¯s pose was indeed somewhat bizarre, was it enough to be so scared? Fortunately, his biggest advantage was that he listened to advice. Even if he didn¡¯t know what was going on, his hands moved faster. Chen Sheng heard the two men¡¯s movements even with his eyes closed. In fact, it would take him at least ten minutes to enter the state of practicing Profound and True Martial Arts. By any means, it was enough time for the two to finish eating. Time slowly passed, Zhou Li and Xu Ying had just finished eating. Xu Ying quickly carried him back to his room and closed the door. After that, he returned to the table to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Now that Xu Ying was there, many trivial matters would be taken care of by him. Chen Sheng was also happy to enjoy the peace. At this moment, he was gradually entering the state. In his mind, the image of Xuanwu was bing clearer. Chen Sheng could even faintly hear the sound of rushing seawater in his ears. ¡°Inhale ¡°Exhale-¡± Apanied by long, rhythmic breaths. The muscles of his whole body were swelling and contracting, following a specific rhythm. Gradually, Thump! Thump! Thump! Like the sound of drums or thunderous heartbeat sted within Chen Sheng¡¯s body, growing louder and more resonant. Almost deafening. At this moment, Xu Ying, who had just finished washing the bowls and chopsticks, came to the backyard only to feel a tremor in his eardrums. He instinctively stopped in his tracks. As a martial artist who practiced breathing techniques as well, Xu Ying¡¯s reaction wasn¡¯t as unbearable as Zhou Li¡¯s. Even so, Chen Sheng¡¯s internal heartbeat still made him somewhat ufortable. What kind of breathing technique is this? Xu Ying stared nkly at Chen Sheng. He subconsciously tried to mimic Chen Sheng¡¯s breathing rhythm. However, Even Chen Sheng could only begin to practice Mysterious Martial Arts after mastering the breathing state of the other two techniques. Not to mention Xu Ying, who had only just achieved the first level of Rabbit¡¯s Breath. As expected, After just two or three seconds. A thump was heard. Xu Ying¡¯s eyes widened instantaneously. Clutching his chest, he fell to the ground, his facial features twisted in pain. Tears, sweat, snot, and saliva blurred together uncontrobly on his face. A pitiful wail sounded from Xu Ying¡¯s mouth. But it seemed that his spirits had been weakened, and the voice was very faint. Naturally, Chen Sheng noticed thismotion. ¡°Don¡¯t learn from me.¡± ¡°Practicing this technique could kill you.¡± He said calmly, his eyes closed. Though Xu Ying looked as if he was on the brink of death, He had at least practiced a breathing technique before, and his body wasn¡¯t that fragile. Moreover, he had only attempted the breathing rhythm of Mysterious Martial Arts, not the real Mysterious Martial Arts. Chen Sheng wasn¡¯t worried that Xu Ying would die just like that. At this moment, Without Chen Sheng saying anything, Xu Ying already deeply understood the pain he experienced. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn¡¯t dare to practice Mysterious Martial Arts. He had merely tried to follow Chen Sheng¡¯s breathing rhythm. And he felt as if his heart was being continually pounded by a giant boulder weighing tons, causing him such pain that he couldn¡¯t catch his breath. After a full ten minutes, Xu Ying, who had finally regained his senses, struggled up from the ground with a dispirited expression. Initially, he had nned to practice some martial arts at night. But now, that n was ruined. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ll head back to my room first.¡¯ ¡°Mm.¡± After saying so, Xu Ying hobbled his way back to his room. Chen Sheng clearly heard a thumping from inside the room not long after Xu Ying entered. That was the sound of Xu Ying copsing onto the bed. Soon, The other party¡¯s breathing gradually steadied, as if he had fallen asleep. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t pay further attention and focused on practicing Mysterious Martial Arts. The night grew darker. The bright moonlight cast ayer of silver frost in the courtyard. The sweat on Chen Sheng¡¯s body shimmered with droplets of light under the moon¡¯s glow. Time slowly moved forward. Untilte into the night. ¡°Exhale-I¡± The thunderous heartbeat began to slow down. Chen Sheng took a deep breath and leaped up from the ground. He lowered his head to look at his own body. All over his body, iron-like muscles were engorged and taut, with thick green tendons spread across the surface like twisted tree roots. All of this, Gave Chen Sheng an unparalleled sense of power. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 44] [Agility: 44] [Constitution: 43] [Skills: Mysterious Martial Arts Ivo: 73/50000] [Skill Points: 50] After practicing Mysterious Martial Arts for a whole night, Chen Sheng felt fatigued for the first time in a while. Every drop of the Spirit Medicine Soup he drank waspletely transformed into energy without waste. The gains from this session were also significant. Both strength and constitution increased by five points. Agility increased by four points. p! Chen Sheng clenched his fist. The sound of air squeezed to its limit came from his palm. Then, His arm transformed into a ck thread, stirring the surrounding airflow as it struck the air in front of him like a sudden gust. p! The sound of the air exploding echoed once more, spreading slowly toward the distance in the night sky. The originally quiet courtyard was suddenly sted by a powerful wind, causing the doors and windows to tter. Sounds of people tossing and turning, mumbling in their sleep, came from inside the house. Clearly, Zhou Li and Xu Ying, who were sleeping, had been disturbed by the noise. This, Was just the result of a casual punch from Chen Sheng! He didn¡¯t even activate any breathing state. Given his current attributes, Chen Sheng felt that even if he only activated one breathing state, he should be able to kill Mr. Hai. After some experimentation, Chen Sheng put an end to his practice, standing in ce, rxing his body¡¯s muscles. Now, his skill points had finally reached the level where he could upgrade Mysterious Martial Arts. It so happened that Zhou Tairan had given Chen Sheng two more Spirit medicines. After eating breakfast tomorrow, Chen Sheng nned to drink two bowls of Spirit Medicine Soup at once, simultaneously upgrading his Mysterious Martial Arts, maximizing the effect of the upgrade. Exhale- The cool night breeze continually brushed against his body. Cold air mixed with the heat from his sweat. Under the moon¡¯s illumination, a hazy white mist drifted constantly from the surface of Chen Sheng¡¯s body. Combined with his tall stature and muscr build, He appeared like a god in the mortal realm.. Chapter 129 - 120: Measures and Grim Situation Chapter 129: Chapter 120: Measures and Grim Situation Trantor: 549690339 Kyoto. Martial Arts Association Headquarters. Conference Hall. A heavy atmosphere permeates the hall. About a dozen people are seated around a round table in the center of the hall. Some have graying hair, others have loose skin, and deep wrinkles cover their faces. They appear to be quite old. But without exception. Just by sitting still, these people exude an astonishing aura of power. If an ordinary person were to enter the hall, they would likely be frightened to the point of heart failure. These people present are the standingmittee members of the Martial Arts Association, veterans who once assisted the official establishment of the Martial Arts Association. Throughout Kyoto and even the whole of China, they are among the strongest individuals. On ordinary days, Most of them spend their time engrossed in cultivation within their respective sects. At their level, the various affairs of the sect are managed by their disciples. ¡®l¡¯ney, Are like the stabilizing pirs of existence. But today, All of these people have gathered, waiting for hours without a hint ofint. That¡¯s because the person they are waiting for, Has this privilege. Click. At this moment, Apanied by the sound, a figure appears outside the hall. The Associationmittee members, who had been in meditation, all open their eyes. Then, The door is pushed open. Appearing at the entrance is an old man in a wheelchair and a middle-aged man in a suit behind him, responsible for pushing the wheelchair. The old man is dressed in a hospital gown, his wheelchair equipped with a breathing machine and infusion bottle. His eye sockets are sunken, and his eyesck vitality. The few strands of white hair on his head are easily countable. The old and loose skin clings tightly to his flesh, revealing the contours of each bone in his body. An old man who looks like he doesn¡¯t have much time left. But upon his appearance, ¡°Chairman.¡± Greetings sound. All the martial artists in the hall stand up solemnly, their faces stern as they bow slightly in respect. This man, Is Li Wuji, the Chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Decades ago, he single-handedly founded the Chinese Martial Arts Association, supported numerous martial arts sects, and vigorously promoted the development of martial arts. Many of themittee members present were brought up by him. It was also on his suggestion a year ago that the Wu¡¯an Bureau was established to manage Qi-sensors and prevent the Heavenly People. Today, The Martial Arts Association and Wu¡¯an Bureau have established branches in citiesrge and small throughout China, effectively managing local Qi-sensors and martial arts sects. All of these are inseparable from Li Wuji¡¯s efforts. Many of themittee members present have also improved and optimized their own sect cultivation techniques with the help of the Martial Arts Association, thus rapidly progressing in their strength. Therefore, Most people hold an attitude of gratitude towards Li Wuji. After everyone greets him, Li Wuji nods slightly, his movements slow and barely noticeable. Immediately, The man in the suit behind him begins to push the wheelchair, Stopping at the head of the round table. ¡°Please, sit down.¡± Li Wuji shakes his hand weakly, removing his oxygen mask. His voice is hoarse and feeble, revealing a sense of frailty. nearing cms, The Association members finally sit down one after another. From beginning to end, They don¡¯t say anything except for their greetings. They just look at Li Wuji, waiting for him to reveal the purpose of gathering everyone. Li Wuji falls silent for a moment, seemingly organizing the words in his mind. About a few minutester, He finally speaks slowly. ¡°In as short as half a month or as long as a month.¡± ¡°Qi will reach its peak.¡± When these words are spoken, The already solemn faces of the Associationmittee members be even more serious. They naturally understand what Li Wuji¡¯s words imply. Qi reaching its peak, Means¡the awakening of the Heavenly People. As the pinnacle of existence in the Chinese martial arts world, They have a far deeper understanding of the tide rising period, Qi, Qi-sensors, and Heavenly People than ordinary martial arts sects. They are also keenly aware, Of how terrifying the Heavenly People are as creatures. Simply from the effects of Qi on humans and Heavenly People, one can begin to grasp their true nature. Qi reaching its peak, Means that in theing period, Qi-sensors will emerge in increasing numbers like bamboo shoots after the rain all over the world. The weak be strong, And the strong be even stronger. With the help of techniques such as breathing, Humans can possess abilities that once only appeared in fantasy. Scaling walls and leaping roofs, Having the strength of an ox- these are the most basic abilities of Qi-sensors. For the strong Associationmittee members present, Destroying mountains and moving thousands of miles in a day Is nothing difficult. And in theing period, There will be more and more people who can do these things. From this, it can be seen how great the impact of the peak of Qi on the human poption is. However, For the Heavenly People- Is like oxygen to them, It is just one of the conditions to awaken their existence. From this, it can be seen. How terrifying the Heavenly People truly are. ¡°For theing period of time.¡± ¡°Lift the strict control on spirit medicine and breathing techniques. ¡°Each of your sects will be responsible for managing a province.¡± ¡°I need you all to try your best to peacefully integrate and consolidate all the martial arts sects in various regions.¡± ¡°Make sure that when Heavenly People awaken within China¡¯s borders, our humans can unite and face it together.¡± Having said that, Li Wuji seemed somewhat exhausted. He put on his oxygen mask again, breathing softly. During this time, His muddy, aged eyes swept over the gathering of Association Committee Members. As for his gaze, Some held themselves with dignified righteousness, giving a slight nod. Some avoided looking directly, not daring to meet it. A very few had undisguised dissatisfaction in their eyes. Apparently, They didn¡¯t agree with Li Wuji¡¯s just mentioned proposal of loosening control over breathing techniques and spirit medicines, but dared not say it out loud. After all, Currently, all the spirit seeds, spirit medicine, and breathing techniques, Were controlled by thesemittee members and their subordinate sects, with only a very small portion being allocated to the various regional martial arts associations to distribute to the local martial arts sects. Li Wuji¡¯s request for them to let go was tantamount to asking them to give up what originally belonged to them. As for the reactions of themittee members, Li Wuji had long anticipated it. Fortunately, He didn¡¯t expect too much from these people. After all, Being humans, they have selfish desires. Those with power are no exception, Because they just want to be stronger and control more. Assisting others with their own power is a rare quality. Thinking of that, A touch of sadness shed in Li Wuji¡¯s eyes. He took off the breathing mask again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone.¡± ¡°This is a request, not an order.¡± ¡°As chairman, I could force you toply, but I know you might not do so.¡± ¡°But what I want to tell you is,¡± ¡°Before the Heavenly People, we humans are all grasshoppers on the same string.¡± ¡°If we lose, we will face an end more painful than death.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no reason to survive.¡± ¡°Everyone, take care of yourselves.¡± Perhaps because he had spoken too much at once, Li Wuji¡¯s voice grew increasingly weak. His shriveled chest heaved dramatically, Until he put on the breathing mask again. Only then did it alleviate slightly. Afterward, He seemed not to be waiting for the responses of themittee members. Raising a finger slightly, The middle-aged man behind him immediately took out a document and ced it on the table. Soon after, Only the numerous Association Committee Members were left in the conference hall, sitting silently in their seats. After a long while, One of them slowly stood up. He had a massive physique, Standing over two meters tall, his body covered inyers of bloated fat. Even the features on his face were all squeezed together because of the excess fat. ¡°The sess of my Devouring Gate has been nurtured by the Chairman.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t control whether you do it or not.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ll do it.¡± After saying that, The Sect leader of the Devouring Gate dragged his bloated body to the document on the table, Checked the area under his jurisdiction, and left the hall without a word. With his departure, ¡°Hmph.¡± ¡°He talks as if we all have hidden agendas.¡± An elderly man with white hair and a somewhat hunched figure scoffed. Speaking, He leisurely came to the document with his hands behind his back. ¡°As the chairman has spoken, how could I not listen?¡± ¡°After all, I am not some selfish and self-serving scoundrel.¡± While the old man appeared kind, His words were utterly merciless. As he spoke, His eyes remained fixed on one of themittee members. It was a square-faced man with his eyes closed, His age made him the youngest among the manymittee members present. ¡°You mean me?¡± Facing the old man¡¯s veiled criticism, The square-faced man slowly opened his eyes. From a distance, his pupils appeared pitch ck, like a demon from a myth. However, if one looked closer, it would be discovered that, The pitch-ck pupils were actually formed by dozens of tiny pupils squeezed together, Making one¡¯s scalp tingle. ¡°I didn¡¯t name names.¡± ¡°Whoever is a scoundrel knows it in his heart.¡± The old man chuckled slyly, After identifying his jurisdiction, he left directly. As for the square-faced man, he stared coldly at the old man¡¯s retreating back, remaining silent. ¡°Trash, it¡¯s just trash.¡± ¡°No matter how many resources are given, it¡¯s still trash.¡± ¡°A sufficientlyrge number of ants may be able to bite an elephant to death.¡± ¡°But Heavenly People are not elephants.¡± ¡°We¡ can also choose to be a powerful ant.¡± ¡°Powerful enough to swallow the heavens and devour the earth.¡± With steady steps, the square-faced man came to the document, quickly found his jurisdiction, Power Sect ¨C Fuhai Province.. Chapter 130 - 121: The Power Sect and the Discussion of Prizes Chapter 130: Chapter 121: The Power Sect and the Discussion of Prizes Trantor: 549690339 Kyoto, Martial Arts Association Building. Branch of Power Sect. In the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association, there are branches belonging to eachmittee member¡¯s sect. These branches are usually staffed by trusted disciples of the sect, responsible for handling simple matters and reporting important matters to themittee members. The ss door slowly opens. A male with national character face, who is amittee member, steps out. His name is Xiang Li. Twenty years ago, he founded the Power Sect and remains its Sect Master to this day. ¡°Sect Master.¡± ¡°Greetings, Sect Master!¡± Inside the Power Sect Hall, the disciples belonging to the Power Sect upon seeing him, show expressions of fear and bow in greeting. ¡°Where is Xiang Zeng?¡± Xiang Li casually asks the passing disciples. ¡°Senior Brother Xiang is at the Training Ground.¡± Hearing this, Xiang Li nods his head and steps forward again. He walks through the hall, heading towards the training ground located behind the Power Sect¡¯s branch. Disciples he encounters on the way all lower their heads and hastily step aside. Regarding his disciples¡¯ respect, Xiang Li merely nods in response without any words. Soon, Xiang Li arrives at the training ground. In contrast to the modernization of the Power Sect¡¯s branch building, the training ground is more primitive. There is only one spacious empty ground here, with various training equipment ced around it. As soon as Xiang Li arrives at the training ground, the disciples present stop their movements and greet him from a distance. Only in the center of the training ground, a huge artificial hill that is constantly rising and falling does not show any signs of stopping. Xiang Li strides forward. Upon arriving at the foot of the artificial hill, only then did the situation at the bottom of the hilles into view. A young man with blocky muscles and ming red hair is squatting up and down, lifting this artificial hill weighing up to a hundred tons. ¡°Get up.¡± Xiang Li speaks in a deep voice. Upon hearing his father¡¯s voice, the constantly moving artificial hill slowly stops. The next second, the young man lifts his arm. The massive artificial hill was easily tossed away by him to an empty ground more than ten meters away. Bang!!! The huge object crashes to the ground, causing a violent tremor. Fortunately, the surrounding disciples had already be ustomed to it. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have trained so far away. ¡°What¡¯s up? Facing his Master, who is also his father, Xiang Li, Xiang Zeng stands in ce, only raising his eyebrows slightly, not showing the respect that the other disciples show. ¡°I asked you toe here to help me deal with matters.¡± ¡°What are you doing here?!¡± Xiang Li sternly questions. His son may have good talent and decent strength. However, unfortunately, his character is domineering andcks steadiness. With such temperament, it is difficult to achieve great heights. Xiang Li sent him to the Martial Arts Association, intending for him to help manage the sect and association affairs while also training his temperament. However, ever since arriving at the Martial Arts Association, Xiang Zeng has been sporadic with hismitments. Every day he runs to the Practice Martial Field to cultivate, leaving the affairs to those under hismand. ¡°And then what?¡± Facing Xiang Li¡¯s questioning, Xiang Zeng just sneers with an indifferent look. ¡°You¡ª Xiang Li frowns, ready to erupt. However, he knows that the surrounding disciples are probably watching the situation here with peripheral vision. Reprimanding his son won¡¯t help. On the contrary, it would only be counterproductive. At the end, he simply snorts coldly. ¡°Follow me, I have things for you.¡± Having said that, Xiang Li turns around with his hands behind his back, walking towards the exit of the training ground. Behind him, Xiang Zeng reluctantly follows. The two of them leave the training ground together. Upon arriving at the hall, they take the elevator. Going straight to the top floor. Whoosh The elevator door opens. Xiang Li moves quickly, striding towards the depths of the hallway. Soon, The two arrive at themittee office. Turning the handle, they push the door in. Before them is a spacious office. The papers on the long office desk are piled with various documents. The sound of writing swishes, as well as the asional tapping of the keyboard. It is clear that someone is sitting behind the desk. ¡°Uncle Master, you¡¯re back?¡± Upon hearing someone entering without knocking, a muffled voice sounds from behind the door. ¡°I still have some urgent projects to finish.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have to join you for practiceter.¡± Cough, cough!! As the person behind the documents starts speaking, Xiang Zeng starts coughing wildly, trying to give hints to the other person. However, the other person doesn¡¯t listen to the advice at all. And just like that, they finished their speech. Xiang Li slowly turns his head, looking at his son, his expression bing increasingly gloomy. Xiang Zeng lowers his head, not daring to make a sound. In the office, the silent atmospherests for about ten seconds. The person sitting behind the desk then senses something is wrong and sticks their head out to check the situation. ¡°Uncle Master, why didn¡¯t you say¡ª Bang! The person¡¯s words are interrupted halfway. They see Xiang Li¡¯s unhappy face and Xiang Zeng, who stands by his side, lowering his head like a quail. The person is immediately startled and jumps up, causing the chair underneath to topple over. The documents on the desk also scatter to the ground due to the sudden movement. ¡°Ma¡..Master!¡± The speaker, is a burly man. With dark skin, wearing training clothes, and a simple and honest look on his face. His name is Wang Qiang. He belongs to the third-generation disciples. Taken as a disciple by Xiang Li¡¯s disciple, he is gentle and honest, and considered a follower of Xiang Zeng. ¡°Out! ¡± As for his own son, Xiang Li knows him well, and does not me Wang Qiang. He just frowns and scolds him. Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang doesn¡¯t dare to stay for a moment longer.. Chapter 131 - 131: 121: Discussion of Power Sect and Prize 2 Chapter 131 - 131: 121: Discussion of Power Sect and Prize 2 Trantor: 549690339 The burly body strode towards the office like a frightened chick. On his way past Xiang Li, he also left a look of seeking good fortune for himself. Bang! Moreover, Wang Qiang thoughtfully closed the office door. ¡°Clean up the documents.¡± Xiang Li said in a deep voice while sitting by the tea table in the office. Xiang Zeng did not dare to resist and could only silently pick up the documents on the floor. ¡°I¡¯ve booked a flight for you tomorrow to Fuhai Province.¡± Xiang Li filled the kettle and ced it on the induction cooker. Speaking casually. Upon hearing this, the document-picking Xiang Zeng suddenly raised his head and looked at his father in amazement. ¡°What¡¯s the purpose of going there?¡± ¡°President Li asked us, the members of themittee, to loosen our control over Spirit medicines and Breathing Techniques, gather local sects, supervise them while also enhancing the overall strength of martial artists in China, and strive to cultivate more strong people.¡± Xiang Li took out his phone and tapped on the screen rapidly, seemingly contacting someone. He casually answered. Whoosh! Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng immediately threw away the documents in his hand and stood up from the ground with a swoosh. ¡°What kind of joke is this?!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t any random member of Power Sect stronger than those trashes?¡± ¡°Sharing our resources with them, is that old man Li Wuji-¡± He yelled anxiously. But halfway through, Xiang Li suddenly raised his head and looked at his son with a gloomy expression. ¡°You want to die?¡± ¡°What kind of person is Li Wuji, and can a junior like you speak about him?¡± Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng immediately closed his mouth with some resentment. ¡°Anyway, ¡± ¡°Power Sect has been promoted by the President himself.¡± ¡°At least we can¡¯t defy his decisions on the surface.¡± ¡°Other members are always waiting for our Power Sect to make a mistake so they can drag us down.¡± Compared to other members, Power Sect has great strength and abundant resources. Therefore, they became a thorn in the side of many people. ¡°In any case, you have to go to Fuhai Province whether you want to or not.¡± ¡°As for how to do it, you figure it out.¡± ¡°But remember, even if you don¡¯t want to share resources, you have to find an excuse and not make trouble too excessively.¡± ¡°Otherwise, I can¡¯t protect you.¡± ¡°Also, I¡¯ll send someone to apany you.¡± As soon as the words fell, Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes lit up in an instant. If someone went with him, he could just throw the responsibility to them. However, how could Xiang Li not know his son¡¯s little schemes. ¡°Wang Qiang won¡¯t go.¡± He said without raising his head. ¡°I¡¯ll let Zhenfeng go with you.¡± Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng¡¯s expression suddenly copsed. Zhenfeng, full name Zhao Zhenfeng, is the eldest disciple of Xiang Li with a very simr character -extremely rigid. With him there, it would be difficult for Xiang Zeng to ck off. However, Xiang Zeng did not dare to defy his father¡¯s order. He could only nod in agreement and pick up the documents on the floor with an annoyed expression. Hmm? At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on two documents. Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association President Candidates Fuhai Province Martial Arts Tournament Champion Reward Distribution Application ¡°This is¡¡± Even if Xiang Zeng wanted to ck off, he knew that matters rted to this had never been the responsibility of Power Sect. He was about to ask Xiang Li, but thetter preempted the answer. ¡°It¡¯ll be different in the future.¡± ¡°Regarding all matters rted to the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association, our Power Sect has jurisdiction.¡± ¡°Therefore, the next Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association candidate and the champion prize distribution of the local Martial Arts Conference will be handled by you, understand?¡± Xiang Li gave Xiang Zeng a meaningful look, emphasizing the word ¡°jurisdiction¡±. Hearing this, Xiang Zeng had a sudden realization and seemed to have understood something. Immediately after, he looked at the document about the Martial Arts Conference Champion Reward in his hand. Approachinz the office desk. Xiang Zeng operates theputer for a while. Immediately, a video appears on theputer screen. It shows Chen Sheng¡¯s battles from the very beginning of the Martial Arts Conference. From the ss C Building, he swiftly defeated his opponents all the way up to the ss A Building, smoothly advancing to the second round. And in the second round, he won all the way until defeating Wu Ran in just a matter of seconds. Because each of Chen Sheng¡¯s fights were extremely short. Plus, this video was edited by the staff of the Martial Arts Association. Thus, It¡¯s only about three or four minutes long. After watching it, Xiang Zeng didn¡¯t show any surprise on his face. To him, Mastering the Breathing Technique with his hands was no big deal. Moreover, In the video, Chen Sheng¡¯s performance in Breathing State didn¡¯t seem particrly outstanding to him. What he cared more about was the issue of the prize. Xiang Zeng picks up the document in his hand. In the document, under the section about the Martial Arts Conference Champion Prize, the word ¡°Spirit Seed¡± was clearly written. He immediately let out a snort ofughter. ¡°Even a local Martial Arts Conference dares to use Spirit Seeds as prizes.¡± ¡°Do they really think the resources from our headquarters can be wasted on just any trash?¡± With this thought, He was ready to change the written Spirit Seed on the form to Spirit Medicine. ¡°What are you doing?¡± But just at this moment, Xiang Li¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. He furrowed his brows, looking at his son. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you?¡± ¡°This is the prize that has already been fixed from our headquarters, and you can change it just because you want to?¡± ¡°Where do you think you ce the credibility of the Martial Arts Association?!¡± The more Xiang Li spoke, the heavier his tone became. In his tone, he subconsciously carried a hint of authority. Xiang Zeng, who was originally ready to modify the table, immediately stopped. He was well aware of his father¡¯s temper. Usually, his father wouldn¡¯t mind if he had a slightly bad attitude. But if he got angry. If he was careless, he would suffer the consequences. ¡°I just think that this person¡ his strength is mediocre, and the Breathing Technique he cultivates is also low-grade.¡± ¡°Giving away a Spirit Seed so easily seems like¡ too much of a waste.¡± Xiang Zeng swallowed saliva, then exined his actions. Having said that, He remained stiff in ce, not daring to move. Not until the authority from behind him gradually dissioated. Then he secretly let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Your starting point is not wrong, but you can¡¯t be so reckless.¡± Xiang Li walked slowly back to the tea table and began to brew tea. ¡°If everyone in the Martial Arts Association acted so tantly, how could it continue operating.¡± He took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and savored the aroma. After a few seconds, he spoke again. ¡°Besides, this person named Chen Sheng does have a promising talent.¡± ¡°Although he chose the wrong Breathing Technique for his breakthrough and has reached a dead end in his path, he can still be considered the top among the youth in Fuhai Province.¡± Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng raised a corner of his mouth, disapproving of it in his heart. That someone of this level could be considered the top person, It could only mean that the entire Fuhai Province was just a pile of garbage. ¡°In any case, ¡± ¡°Since the prize has been set, it must be given.¡± ¡°By the way, haven¡¯t some of the Spirit Seeds in our Power Sect been nearly depleted recently?¡± Oh, that¡¯s right! Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes brightened. Most uses of Spirit Seeds have a deadline, Eithersting one month or up to three or four, before a new Spirit Seed must be acquired. The Power Sect had to rece them inrge quantities every few months. So why not use a nearly exhausted Spirit Seed that can only be used for a few days as the prize instead? It¡¯spletely justified. ¡°I understand.¡± With that thought, Xiang Zeng immediately began to operate theputer. Soon, Themand was sent out. ¡°Hmm.¡± Seeing this, Xiang Li finished his tea, slowly got up, and walked toward the door. ¡°Get ready.¡± ¡°Set out for Fuhai Province tomorrow.¡± ¡°Get things settled there as soon as possible, thene back..¡± Chapter 132 - 132: 122: Daily Life and Farewell Xuanwu Chapter 132 - 132: 122: Daily Life and Farewell Xuanwu Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Quanjiang City. Backyard of Yinghui Grocery Store. Thump thump. Chen Sheng had just woken lip when he heard knocking on the door- ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ve bought breakfast.¡± Xu Ying¡¯s voice came from outside the door. ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Sheng responded, while looking at the clock on the wall. It¡¯s just 6:30 am now. This kid Xu Ying gets up early enough. Thinking so, Chen Sheng picked up his brass basin and toothbrush, and walked towards the door. Opening the room door, he took a deep breath. Refreshing. The air early in the morning is always particrly fresh. He came to the sink and began to brush his teeth and wash his face. Xu Ying put down the breakfast on the stone table and went to Zhou Li¡¯s room to change his medicine. About 10 minutester, the three of them sat at the stone table. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the Martial Arts Associationter and get things done for you,¡± said Chen Sheng, swallowing the bun in his mouth. Now that Xu Yang has been arrested, Rabbit Fist Sect has disbanded. In the Martial Arts Association, Xu Ying is considered a registered frence martial artist. Back in Haizhou City. Xu Ying had asked Chen Sheng to join the Eagle Body Sect. And Chen Sheng dly agreed. It was only natural after all. Xu Ying had been with Xu Yang for many years. He knew where Xu Yang kept some valuable items in his daily life. Before Wu¡¯an Bureau discovered it, he had told Chen Sheng the hiding ce. It was a vi on the outskirts of Haizhou City. When Chen Sheng arrived and followed Xu Ying¡¯s instructions to enter the vi¡¯s partition, he immediately took out his phone and agreed to Xu Ying¡¯s request to join the Eagle Body Sect. It wasn¡¯t about money. He just couldn¡¯t bear to see such a beautiful young man end up on the streets, helpless and alone. Therefore, Chen Sheng nned to visit the Quanjiang City Martial Arts Association after lunch today, and get the procedure done for Xu Ying to join the Eagle Body Sect. He would also collect the monthly share of Spirit Medicine for the Eagle Body Sect, as well as the Martial Arts Conference championship reward. After thepletion of the mission, the Eagle Body Sect sessfully upgraded to a ss A sect. The Spirit Medicine also increased from one a month to ten. With the existence of these nine Spirit Medicines and the Spirit Seed, at least for the time being, Zhou Li¡¯s physical condition would not worsen, and it would only get better. Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t have to worry about cultivation resources in the short-term. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡± Xu Ying gratefully nodded toward Chen Sheng. ¡°No, thank you,¡± said Chen Sheng, patting Xu Ying¡¯s shoulder with a serious face. The sincerity in his emotions makes Xu Ying¡¯s nose turn sour. Brother Chen is such a great person. Not only did he take me in, but he also said ¡®thank you¡¯ so as not to burden me emotionally. But what Xu Ying didn¡¯t know was, what Chen Sheng was now thinking about was how to turn those things into money. Although most of those items were not easy to sell, one or two that could be sold would be enough for the Eagle Body Sect to use for a long time. As for Zhou Li, after the three of them finished breakfast, he ordered Xu Ying to carry him to the kitchen to prepare to decoct the Spirit Medicine. ¡°Old man, decoct the remaining two, I¡¯m going to break through today.¡± Chen Sheng called from behind. ¡°You kid, how do you break through every day?!¡± Zhou Li and Xu Ying turned their heads to look at Chen Sheng as if they had seen a ghost. Although Zhou Li witnessed Chen Sheng¡¯s growth from the beginning as a Hidden Energy Warrior, to such a terrifying degree in just a few days, he still felt a sense of toothache when he heard the word ¡®breakthrough.¡¯ This kid, did he have a cheat?! Breaking through was asmon as taking a shit, once a day. Xu Ying, who was next to him, looked even more terrified. Chen Sheng was already so terrifying, and with another breakthrough, what kind of realm would he reach? Was it the legendary Entering Realm? Xu Ying didn¡¯t know, but he was greatly shocked. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t exin, as the panel was his biggest secret, and he wouldn¡¯t tell anyone, no matter who. Seeing that he didn¡¯t speak, Zhou Li didn¡¯t ask any further questions, as everyone had their own secrets. Immediately, Xu Ying obediently carried Zhou Li into the kitchen. The effectiveness of the Spirit Medicine depended on the heat, herbs, and time. In this aspect, Zhou Li was the most proficient. As the two of them entered the kitchen, Chen Sheng went to the empty ground in the courtyard. It would take about two hours to decoct the Spirit Medicine. In this time, he nned to warm up by practicing Profound and True Martial Arts first. Getting ready for the uing upgrade. With this thought, Chen Shengy face down on the ground. Soon, the muscles on his body¡¯s surface began to slowly swell and contract ording to the rhythm of his breathing. Time quietly slipped away. Two hourster. Xu Ying carried the Spirit Medicine in his hand, while Zhou Li covered his ears on Xu Ying¡¯s back. ¡°Kid, hurry up and drink it while it¡¯s hot.¡± Zhou Li shouted loudly. Following that, The heartbeat-like sound echoing in the courtyard, like the beating of a heavy drum, slowly subsided. Chen Sheng leaped up from the ground and took a deep breath. After two hours of training, his attributes had once again made considerable progress. His physical strength was still adequate. After drinking the spirit medicine, his body would be restored to its optimal state. Chen Sheng had been looking forward to the effects of this upgrade for a long time. Without the slightest hesitation, He took the spirit medicine that Xu Ying handed him and gulped it down directly. Glug glug. During Chen Sheng¡¯s consumption of the medicine, Xu Ying tactfully took Zhou Li back to their room. At the same time. Chen Sheng summoned his panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 46] [Agility: 46] [Constitution: 45] [Skill Points: 56] After two hours of training. Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes had once again seen a small increase. And what wasing next would be the big part. At the thought of this, Chen Sheng began to focus his attention on the skill column. [Skill: Profound and True Martial Arts Lvo] Upgrade! The font suddenly became blurry. The skill points rapidly decreased. [Skill Points: 6] At the moment the skill points stopped decreasing, The words in the skill column promptly became clear. [Profound and True Martial Arts LVI: 0/100000] Huh? A hint of confusion appeared in Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. ording to the usual practice, By now, arge number of cultivation memories and muscle growth should have surged into his body. Why is there no reaction now? WhooshJust then, Chen Sheng¡¯s ears were suddenly filled with the sound of a tidal wave. The sound seemed both far and near. As if it were a million miles away, and yet right beside him. What¡¯s going on? Chen Sheng looked around in confusion. But the next second, He felt a sh in front of his eyes. The surrounding scene had changed. w noosnBoom- At this moment, Chen Sheng. Found himself standing on the sea surface. Above his head were thick ck clouds, with lightning flickering inside, and thunder echoing in his ears incessantly. Next to him was the boundless ocean, surging with raging waves as if in anger. What¡¯s going on? Chen Sheng was baffled. He looked down at his feet. The surface of the sea beneath him did not reflect his image. He bent down, attempting to touch the seawater, But only grasped at empty air. Immediately after, ¡°Hmph-¡® A dull but powerful snort sounded from above him. A fierce wind blew, instantly whipping up a giant wave. A shadow asrge as a mountain peak loomed overhead. Chen Sheng looked up. What met his gaze was an endless expanse of dark green stone pirs. No, This was not a stone pir. Chen Sheng held up his head, trying to see the top of the pir clearly. Just at that moment, The creature standing in front of him, Also slowly bent down. Throughout its movements, thunderous rumbling filled his ears. Even if everything in front of him seemed to be just an illusion, Chen Sheng still felt a suffocating sensation. Finally, The ck pupils filled Chen Sheng¡¯s entire field of vision. And Chen Sheng finally recognized the other party. It was the creature he used to see every time he practiced Profound and True Martial Arts. The Xuanwu divine beast. However, its size was muchrger than what Chen Sheng had ever seen in his mind before. At this point, in front of the Xuanwu, Chen Sheng, who was already considered tall among humans, Was as insignificant as a tiny ant.. Chapter 133 - 123: Upgrade and Xuanming True Martial Chapter 133: Chapter 123: Upgrade and Xuanming True Martial Trantor: 549690339 ¡°You¡¡± Chen Sheng tried. Whether it was the fierce wind or the sea water under his feet. For him, they were things he could see but not touch. That made him understand. Everything around him was just an illusion. But¡ Since he was in an illusion. Was the Xuanwu in front of him watching him, or something else? Chen Sheng looked around. On the boundless sea, there was nothing else except him and Xuanwu. Thus, Chen Sheng called out, trying to ask the other party. As soon as he opened his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the changing color of the surrounding seawater, bing darker and darker. Huh? Chen Sheng looked down. It wasn¡¯t the sea getting darker. It was clearly a huge shadow deep in the sea, rapidly approaching the surface. And he, Was right in the center of the shadow! Such a terrifying scene. Made Chen Sheng instantly feel like his scalp was about to explode. In an instant, His leg muscles tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to jump away. But, It was toote. The sea surface arched high. Whoosh¨C The huge serpent¡¯s head broke through the surface. Opening its enormous mouth. Biting Chen Sheng, who hadn¡¯t yet had time to jump away¡ in one bite. In the instant before plunging into darkness, Chen Sheng looked up at the pupils of the Xuanwu in front of him. Strangely, He felt like he could clearly sense some sort of emotion deep within the eyes staring at him. It seemed like¡ they wereughing secretly? Swish! Before Chen Sheng could figure it out, His vision waspletely engulfed by the ck void. Hands couldn¡¯t touch. Eyes couldn¡¯t see. There was no sound and he couldn¡¯t feel anything. Such darkness drove people to want to scream madly. Fortunately, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t stay in the darkness for long. It seemed like someone was pulling him back. His body started to retreat rapidly. Faintly, he heard a calling from the distant darkness. ¡°Chen¡¡± ¡°Little Child¡.¡± At tms moment, Chen Sheng suddenly realized. At the far end of the darkness, it seemed like a faint glimmer of light was appearing. As his body continued to retreat rapidly, The light grewrger. Eventually, It almost chased away all the darkness, upying Chen Sheng¡¯s entire field of vision. At the same time, The calling voice became clearer and clearer. ¡°Brother Chen?! ¡± ¡°Little Chen, what the hell are you doing?!¡± WhooshChen Sheng¡¯s eyes were suddenly filled with bright light. But soon, The light quickly faded. What appeared before his eyes was the blue sky, white clouds, and birds flying across it. ¡°Ugh ¡± Chen Shengy on the ground, vomiting water in big gulps. Arge amount of water flowed from his mouth and nose. Water? Why was he coughing up water? Could it be that it wasn¡¯t an illusion just now? What was even stranger to Chen Sheng was the fact that, It seemed like he wasn¡¯t vomiting because there was water in his lungs and stomach. The water didn¡¯t cause any difort to his body. On the contrary, He actually felt veryfortable. The reason he was vomiting Had more to do with the dizziness caused by retreating rapidly in the darkness and the feeling of the world turning upside down. ¡°Brother Chen, are you okay?¡± A voice sounded next to him. Chen Sheng looked around. He found that Zhou Li and Xu Ying were squatting next to him, looking at him anxiously. ¡°You little rabbit, didn¡¯t you just break through?¡± ¡°How did your breakthrough end up like this?¡± Zhou Li was speaking. The old man couldn¡¯t walk at all. But he still sat on the ground, ready to help Chen Sheng up. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can do it myself.¡± Chen Sheng gradually came to. He propped himself up with his hands, ready to support his upper body. But at that moment, A crackling sound came from beneath Chen Sheng. The noise quickly drew the attention of the three of them. They all looked down at the same time. ¡°You¡.¡± Zhou Li¡¯s face was filled with horror. What was going on with this kid? Could it be that he couldn¡¯t control his strength after making a breakthrough? Thinking so, The old man quickly moved his body away from Chen Sheng. What was going on? Chen Sheng looked puzzled. He raised his hand. There was no change. But just now, he hadn¡¯t even exerted any effort. He had simply braced his hands on the ground. ¡°Brother Chen, are you sure you¡¯re alright?¡± Seeing Chen Sheng staring at his hand and not saying anything for a long time, Xu Ying asked worriedly. Almost four hours had passed since Chen Sheng began his breakthrough. During that time, The heavy thumping of his heart never stopped inside his body. When the heartbeat gradually faded, Xu Ying was about to go and make lunch, But saw Chen Sheng lying wet and motionless on the ground like a drowned person. He was terrified. He hurriedly woke up Zhou Li, who was sleeping with earplugs, and brought him to Chen Sheng¡¯s side. Just as the two of them were about to take emergency measures, Chen Sheng woke up leisurely. At that time, In the face of their concerned gaze, Chen Sheng waved his hand slightly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, rest assured.¡± ¡°What time is it now?¡± Xu Ying checked the time. ¡°It¡¯s past ten o¡¯clock, I was originally going to go cook¡¡± ¡°Well, go ahead.¡± Chen Sheng waved his hand, indicating there was no need for them to continue watching him. After checking several times, Xu Ying finally got up and carried Zhou Li back to the room, then went to the kitchen. As for Chen Sheng, He slowly sat up from the ground, trying to clench his fists tersely. Sometime after waking, The feeling of being pulled in the darkness had dissipated as well.. Chapter 134 - 123: Upgrade and Profound True Martial Arts_2 Chapter 134: Chapter 123: Upgrade and Profound True Martial Arts_2 Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, his body¡ Was filled with an unparalleled sense of power. It seemed like there was nothing that he couldn¡¯t destroy with a single punch. He summoned his panel. Chen Sheng nned to see if his attributes had changed. What he saw¡ Instantly made his eyes widen. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 56] [Agility: 55] [Constitution: 56] [Profound and True Martial Arts LVI: 0/100000] [Skill Points: 36] His Strength increased by ten points. His Agility increased by nine points. His Constitution increased by eleven points. Terrifying. Such a terrifying increase. He merely upgraded Profound and True Martial Arts to the first level and his attributes were significantly increased by around ten points. Now, even in a normal state, his attributes are almost equivalent to when he activated his Breathing State previously. And not to mention¡ Chen Sheng at the moment, if he were to activate his Breathing State again, his strength would be terrifyingly powerful. You must know that¡ Due to the existence of Breaking Limits¡ Chen Sheng¡¯s potential could be said to be endless. It¡¯s not like what Mr. Hai said, that the more Breathing Techniques he breaks through, the weaker the effect would be in the future breakthroughs. On the contrary, The more Breathing Techniques he cultivates, the faster he would be stronger. Thinking this¡ Chen Sheng felt thrilled. The feeling of rapidly bing stronger was too awesome. He tried swinging his arm. A faint booming sound came from the air. The tremendous enhancement in attributes made it slightly hard for Chen Sheng to control the natural power emanating from him. He had only just lifted his body, and he had pressed a pit into the ground because of this. Every time he levels up in the future¡ He might need some time to adapt to the power of his body. However, this wasn¡¯t a big deal. After doing some strength training, Chen Sheng quickly got used to his present body and could easily control his strength. After adapting to his body¡ Chen Sheng didn¡¯t rest immediately. Now, Profound and True Martial Arts has sessfully broken through to the first level. This meant that¡ Now, he could activate the Breathing State of Profound and True Martial Arts. Mr. Hai once said¡ Higher level Breathing Techniques can cause the human body to instinctively absorb Qi and have all sorts of magical abilities. Although he didn¡¯t know what level the Profound and True Martial Arts Breathing Technique belonged to¡ But looking at the proficiency required for an upgrade¡ It shouldn¡¯t be too bad. With this thought¡ Chen Sheng held his breath and focused¡ He stood there, slowly adjusting his breathing and muscles. Soon¡ Every beat of his heart echoed within his body. Swoosh! Chen Sheng opened his eyes. A deep blue glow shone in his eyes. As if a myriad of icy abysses was hidden within them. With a crunch¡ Chen Sheng¡¯s figure towered to two meters. His muscles immediately swelled. His originally loose clothes were stretched tight due to the sudden bulging muscles. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 74] [Agility: 73] [Constitution: 74] Under the Breathing state of Profound and True Martial Arts¡ Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes increased by a third overall. This was the basic effect. Perhaps because he was only at the first level¡ The change in his body shape was not too big. It only made his already burly body swell a bit more. The real change¡ Was elsewhere. At this moment¡ Chen Sheng raised his arm. On the surface of his skin, a turtle shell-like deep blue pattern emerged, covering his entire body. The pattern was very faint, even with Chen Sheng¡¯s sharp eyes; he needed to focus his attention to notice them. After he upgraded Profound and True Martial Arts¡ In Chen Sheng¡¯s mind, more information about Profound and True Martial Arts had emerged. Thus, he understood that, These patterns were not just simple decorations. They were ayer of armor. When in the Breathing Method state of Profound and True Martial Arts, this armor could absorb all the impacts that Chen Sheng received. For instance, if an enemy¡¯s fist was aimed at Chen Sheng¡¯s chest, The force would be significantly dispersed and eliminated by the Turtle Shell Pattern. This would substantially enhance Chen Sheng¡¯s defense. In the future, Even if Chen Sheng encountered an enemy stronger than him, who he couldn¡¯t beat, they wouldn¡¯t necessarily be able to injure him instantly. He was extremely satisfied with this life-saving capability. Thinking this way, Chen Sheng raised his muscr arm. And then, He swiftly threw a punch at his chest. The next second, ng! ! The sound of metal shing suddenly echoed throughout the courtyard. At his chest, a deep blue Turtle Shell Pattern faintly lit up. The force from Chen Sheng¡¯s punch was swiftly absorbed by the Turtle Shell and dispersed throughout his body, finally tilting directly towards the ground beneath him. Boom!! The ground in the entire courtyard suddenly dipped a notch. An air wave centered around Chen Sheng swept dust and sand from the ground away in a circle. ¡°You, youngd, if you ruin my house, you¡¯ll have to pay me for two sets!!¡± Zhou Li¡¯s roar came from inside the room. Chen Sheng awkwardly rubbed his nose, not daring to try it out so casually again. However, Just from this one action, He had deeply understood the terrifying nature of the Turtle Shell Pattern on his body. He pulled up his shirt. The punch had only left a faint red print on his skin. Beyond that, There was no other effect. That punch then, Chen Sheng had thrown with about 80% of his strength, equalling about sixty of his attribute points. Even if Mr. Hai had to bear that punch, his body would have been blown through directly. But the punch that Chen Sheng threw at himself only left a slight mark. The effect of the Turtle Shell Pattern was indeed far beyond Chen Sheng¡¯s expectations. Additionally, Profound and True Martial Arts brought another small change to Chen Sheng. ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± Chen Sheng took a deep breath. Now, He could clearly sense the moisture content in the air. Moreover, He had an inexplicable affinity towards water. He walked over to the sink and turned on the faucet. Soon, the sink was full of water. Gurgle. Chen Sheng promptly plunged his head into the water. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Anyone who didn¡¯t know might think that Chen Sheng was trying to kill himself. But in reality, He felt exceedinglyfortable in the water. His body would even actively absorb oxygen from the water. ording to the information in his mind, In water, or even in a moist environment, Chen Sheng¡¯s physical strength, recovery rate, and Turtle Shell¡¯s defensive ability would all increase. And the more suitable the present environment, the more they would increase. Whoosh¡ª Chen Sheng lifted his head. Hebed his wet hair back with his hand. He then prepared to go back to his room to change his clothes. Chen Sheng knew very well, His greatest asset was his infinitely upgradeable body attributes. As for other things, they were just the icing on the cake under the foundation of a strong physique. Therefore, Regarding the abilities brought by Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng would only do a minimal amount of experimentation and no longer concern himself with them. After lunch, he went to the Martial Arts Association to collect resources. In these several days, his aspiration was to upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts to perfection. He looked forward expectantly. Wondering just how formidable his physical ability would be at that point.. Chapter 135 - 135: 124 Scaring People and Going to Receive the Award Chapter 135 - 135: 124 Scaring People and Going to Receive the Award Trantor: 549690339 ¡°I¡¯m leaving, watch the ce.¡± ¡°Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± At noon. After having a meal, Chen Sheng instructed Xu Ying before he prepared to leave the Martial Arts Association. At this time, Xu Ying was practicing Rabbit¡¯s Breath in the courtyard after cleaning up the remains of lunch. ¡°Alright, Brother Chen.¡± Xu Ying responded seriously. Seeing this, Chen Sheng nodded and went straight out the door, running towards the Martial Arts Association. The Martial Arts Association is about ten kilometers away from the grocery store. If Chen Sheng ran at full speed, he wouldn¡¯t even need two minutes to get there. However, With his current strength, running at full speed would be like a humanoid tornado. He would probably leave a mess wherever he went. In order not to cause amotion, Chen Sheng could only do his best to restrain his speed. Nevertheless, Chen Sheng¡¯s self-proimed jog, Was still an incredibly terrifying speed in the eyes of ordinary people. At this moment, A small car was driving on the road. ¡°Baby, want to experience what¡¯s called a pushing back sensation?¡± A man and a woman were sitting in the car. The man had a in appearance and was wearing casual attire. In the passenger seat sat a delicate young woman. ¡°Pushing back sensation Having never heard the term before, she subconsciously thought her boyfriend was telling a dirty joke. ¡°What are you talking about? Focus on driving.¡± The young woman blushed and yfully pped the man¡¯s shoulder. ¡°No, I¡¯m talking about this car.¡± The woman looked puzzled, ncing around. The interior of the car was extremely simple. There was no clutter, just arge central control screen for controlling various functions of the vehicle. This car was just picked up by the man today. It was said to be a foreign big brand. But the young woman didn¡¯t think there was anything special about it. Before she could understand what her boyfriend was talking about, He smiled mysteriously. While waiting for the traffic light, He activated the super speed mode of the car through the central control screen. In the instant when the green light lit up, Whoosh! The small car shot out, its speed soaring rapidly within a very short time. The sudden eleration created an inertia that pressed the couple tightly against their seats. ¡°Woohoo!¡± The man felt the strong wind blowing over his cheeks from the car window and let out an excited yell. ¡°See?!¡± ¡°This is called, pushing back sensation!¡± The man excitedly turned his head, intending to enjoy the sight of his girlfriend screaming with a wicked grin. However, he found it odd that, Instead of screaming, his girlfriend was staring nkly out the window, her face looking very strange. ¡°What are you looking at ¨C The man was about to ask when, He followed her gaze and froze as well. On the side of the road, There was a man running??? And, He seemed to be keeping pace with them? ¡°What the hell?¡± The man rubbed his eyes. He subconsciously thought it was just a trick of his vision. When he looked at the central control screen, The disyed speed was a shocking 100. A speed that would result in heavy penalties if caught by monitoring. Looking outside again, The figure of the man, Fell back into view. His speed was not slow at all. And he even seemed to be trying to overtake them. For a moment, There was a silent atmosphere in the car, As the couple exchanged nces. In their eyes, they were filled with the same emotion. Fear. ¡°A ghost!!!!!¡± With a scream. The car elerated again. They even ignored the lit red light ahead and swooshed through the intersection.¡± ¡°What the hell?¡± Chen Sheng looked at the receding vehicle with a baffled expression, digging his ear. He had no idea how shocking his speed was at this moment. After all, This was already the result of him restraining himself over and over again. Soon, Chen Sheng, who had sessfully arrived at the Martial Arts Association, had already put this matter behind him. Swipe! As soon as Chen Sheng stepped into the association hall, He felt countless gazes focus on himself. The martial arts conference held in Haizhou City was a grand event for all martial artists in Fuhai Province. Many sects knew their strength was inadequate, so they didn¡¯t participate. However, they were still very concerned about the specifics of the martial arts conference. And information about those outstanding martial artists in the conference had long since spread to the Quanjiang City Martial Arts Association. Chen Sheng, the champion, was no exception. ¡°Sect Leader Chen!¡± ¡°Sect Leader Chen, nice to meet you for the first time, I am¡¡± Chen Sheng was about to head to the office. A group of people he had never met before quickly surrounded him and introduced themselves to Chen Sheng.¡± He only managed to break away from the crowd surrounding him after quite a while. He arrived at the office in the association hall. ¡°Hi, I am here to collect spirit medicine and the prize for the martial arts conference champion.¡± Now, Chen Sheng¡¯s recognition had changed. Of course, the situation when he first came to collect supplies wouldn¡¯t happen again. When he stated his intention, staff who had already remembered his appearance quickly started processing it without saying anything, ¡°Sect Leader Chen, please wait. The prize for the martial arts conference had been sent earlier, and I will get it now.¡± Having said that, The staff turned and walked into the back of the Martial Arts Association. In less than two minutes, When he reappeared, he had two wooden boxes in his hands. ¡°Sect Leader Chen, this is your prize and spirit medicine, please take care of them.¡± ¡°On the left are nine spirit medicines, and on the right is a spirit seed, which you can check on the spot.¡± The staff held out the wooden boxes respectfully with both hands. ¡°Thank you.¡± Chen Sheng took the wooden box from his hands and opened it directly, preparing to see what the spirit seed looked like. Many martial artists in the Martial Arts Association Hall understood what was in the wooden box. For a moment, Countless envious gazes fell on Chen Sheng. But it was just envy. Although the specifics of the martial arts conference were kept in the dark due to the emergence of the Holy Sect, the ranking of the conference would be publicized. Bing the champion, Meant that Chen Sheng could be considered within the top three among the younger generation in the entire Fuhai Province, even if he wasn¡¯t the first. Not to mention, Every martial arts hall that participated in the martial arts conference praised Chen Sheng to the skies, admiring him incredibly. In just two days, Chen Sheng¡¯s status and prestige in Fuhai Province had skyrocketed to an extremely high level. Therefore, Thinking of stealing the spirit seeds? Even if the martial artists present had a hundred guts, they wouldn¡¯t dare. At this time, Chen Sheng lowered his head, preparing to see how the long-awaited spirit seed looked like. However, When the contents of the wooden box came into view, His brows furrowed instantly. ¡°Are you sure this is the spirit seed?¡± He held the box towards the staff. Inside it, Lay a scone. A gray stone covered in cracks, as if it would shatter into countless pieces the next second. Within it, one could faintly sense a fluorescent glow, simr to that of spirit medicine. However, This glow was so weak that even with Chen Sheng¡¯s eyesight, he could barely see it.. Chapter 136 - 136: 125: Learning and Threatening Gao Sheng Chapter 136 - 136: 125: Learning and Threatening Gao Sheng Trantor: 549690339 Even though Chen Sheng had never seen a Spirit Seed before, he could tell at a nce that there was something wrong with this stone. On the surface of each Spirit medicine, ayer of spiritual light would faintly shine. But this gray stone not onlycked any spiritual light, but it was also covered in cracks as if it would shatter at any moment. At this moment, seeing Chen Sheng¡¯s expression change, the staff member¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but race. ¡°I¡ I don¡¯t know¡ I really don¡¯t know.¡± He opened his mouth and stuttered an exnation. ¡°How about I fetch the director to take a look for you?¡± With that, the staff member swallowed nervously, anxiously watching Chen Sheng, who appeared somewhat displeased. After getting Chen Sheng¡¯s consent, the staff member fled like he was escaping and ran towards the upper floor of the Martial Arts Association. Other martial artists in the association hall seemed to sense something wrong with Chen Sheng¡¯s situation. One by one, they couldn¡¯t help but asionally nce over, trying not to be too tant. While waiting, Chen Sheng opened the wooden box containing the nine Spirit medicines. This time, there was no issue. In the boxy nine variously shaped and colored herbs. Without exception, the surface of these herbs emitted ayer of green fluorescent light. Much better than the so-called ¡°Spirit Seed¡± gray stone. This only made Chen Sheng even more certain. There was definitely something wrong with this gray stone. Like this, he quietly waited. Soon, when the staff member reappeared, an additional figure was behind him. Chen Sheng took a look. It was an acquaintance. It was Gao Sheng who had caused trouble for him when he had first be the Sect Leader of the Eagle Body Sect and visited the Martial Arts Association for the first time to collect Spirit medicine. Of course, although he had encountered difficulties, Chen Sheng ultimately received the Spirit medicine from Gao Sheng through his own methods. When Gao Sheng came out of the side door, his eyes subconsciously avoided Chen Sheng. He didn¡¯t associate Chen Sheng with the person who had attacked him a week ago. After all, in terms of strength, that person was merely a Hidden Energy Warrior. They didn¡¯t even qualify to participate in the Martial Arts Conference. There was no way it could be this Martial Arts Conference champion standing before him. But as he thought about how he had once withheld Chen Sheng¡¯s Spirit medicine, he felt guilty and hoped that Chen Sheng wouldn¡¯t find out. ¡°Sect Leader Chen, hello, hello.¡± ¡°May I know what the problem is?¡± Gao Sheng forced a smile and stood in front of Chen Sheng, acting obsequiously. Completely unlike the arrogance he had shown in their first meeting when he was the director of the association. ¡°Are you sure this stone is a Spirit Seed?¡± Chen Sheng disregarded the change in Gao Sheng¡¯s attitude. He straightforwardly opened the wooden box and handed it to Gao Sheng. Gao Sheng lowered his head to look, and his face instantly stiffened. As the director of the Quanjiang City Martial Arts Association, Gao Sheng hadn¡¯t eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. At a nce, he immediately recognized what was wrong with the Spirit Seed in front of him. This was clearly a Spirit Seed that was about to deplete its energy. Even if it was nted in the ground, it would probably only produce one or two batches of Spirit medicine before itpletely lost its effect. As he looked at the Spirit Seed in front of him, Gao Sheng suddenly remembered the little gossip he had heard yesterday. Apparently, there had been some major changes in Kyoto, and members from the Martial Arts Association Headquarters would take over each region¡¯s Martial Arts Association and implement corresponding measures regarding the local martial arts sects for better management. As for Fuhai Province, it seemed that it would be taken over by the Power Sect, which had a bad reputation. Putting the two together, Gao Sheng had some guesses in his heart. However¡ Regardless of whether his guess was urate, even if it was urate, Gao Sheng didn¡¯t dare to speak up. Even though he couldn¡¯t provoke Chen Sheng, he dared not provoke the Power Sect even more. For him, the Power Sect was almost like an enormous existence. Therefore, Gao Sheng immediately put on an unwittingly confused expression. ¡°This is indeed a Spirit Seed.¡± ¡°But the Qi contained within it is not much, and I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯tst long.¡± ¡°As for why it¡¯s like this, I¡¯m not quite sure.¡± At that point, it seemed Gao Sheng had remembered something. Raising his arm as if swearing to heaven, he solemnly looked at Chen Sheng. ¡°Sect Leader Chen, I assure you,¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t touched this Spirit Seed since it was delivered to us by the Fuhai Provincial Association.¡± ¡°The whole process of receiving and storing the Spirit Seed has been under monitoring in the association.¡± ¡°You may examine it yourself.¡± What Gao Sheng said was all true. That¡¯s why he dared to promise Chen Sheng so confidently. However, Even if Gao Sheng¡¯s disguise was perfect. The brief sh of doubt in his eyes when he saw the Spirit Seed just now still didn¡¯t escape Chen Sheng¡¯s observation. After listening to Gao Sheng¡¯s words, Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment and waved at him, signaling him toe closer. Hmm? Gao Sheng looked confused, not knowing what Chen Sheng wanted to do. This was the Martial Arts Association, an official organization. He didn¡¯t believe that Chen Sheng would dare to cause trouble here. Therefore, Gao Sheng followed Chen Sheng¡¯s instructions, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of him. Then, From an angle that nobody could see. A cold light shed in Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes, and his mouth slightly opened. ¡°If you don¡¯t tell the truth.¡± ¡°Next time, it won¡¯t be just your legs that are broken.¡± Hearing that bubbly voice that had appeared countless times in his nightmares, Whoosh! Gao Sheng instantly raised his head, looking at Chen Sheng in horror. His thighs, which had once been pierced by Chen Sheng with a steel bar, were now throbbing in pain. ¡°Y-yes-¡± Gao Sheng subconsciously wanted to scream, But Chen Sheng raised a finger and gently ced it in front of him. ¡°Even if I did it, you have no proof.¡± ¡°No one would believe that I would go to steal your Spirit medicine.¡± ¡°Moreover, you¡¯ll die.¡± The chilling words seeped into Gao Sheng¡¯s ears, He immediately shivered. ¡°Now. ¡± ¡°Can you tell me why my prize turned into a broken stone?¡± Chen Sheng asked with a smile. People who didn¡¯t know, Would think that the two were having an intimate conversation between friends. Little did they know, Gao Sheng was now struggling to hold in the urge to pee. ¡°No¡no. ¡± ¡°Master Chen, please let me exin.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡± As he spoke, Gao Sheng¡¯s forehead was already filled with beads of sweat. Five minutester. Chen Sheng declined the invitations from the surrounding martial artists to visit the Martial Arts Hall, and slowly walked outside. As soon as he left the Martial Arts Association, His face quickly darkened. ¡°Power Sect¡¡± A sect from Kyoto. Their leader was even a member of the Martial Arts Association Headquarters. Even by just thinking about it, anyone would know that the strength of such a high-level figure must be unimaginable. Furthermore, the Power Sect was located in Kyoto, thousands of kilometers away from Fuhai Province. With Chen Sheng¡¯s current strength, it was almost impossible to seek justice. Chen Sheng¡¯s expression became even more somber. But Gao Sheng also told him another thing. It was that Fuhai Province was now under the control of the Power Sect. That is to say, it was very likely that they would send people to Fuhai Province. Thinking about this, There was a sh of fierceness in Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. He continued to walk outside, While pulling out his phone to search through his contacts. Gao Sheng was just a small director of the Quanjiang City Martial Arts Association. Knowing the general idea of these matters was already his limit. For the specific details, Of course, the people of Haizhou City Martial Arts Association would know more. As it happened, Chen Sheng saved everyone present at the Martial Arts Conference. For this kind of information, He believed that someone would be willing to share it with him. Soon, The phone call was connected. ¡°Chen Sheng?¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± ¡°You left so quicklyst time that I didn¡¯t have a chance to thank you.¡± ¡°When youe to Haizhou, let me know, and I¡¯ll be the one to host you.¡± A man¡¯s voice came through the phone. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure to take you up on that.¡± ¡°Actually, I have something to ask you.¡± In this way, As Chen Sheng spoke on the phone, he jogged towards the grocery store.. Chapter 137 - 137: 126: Arrival and Going Out for a Stroll Chapter 137 - 137: 126: Arrival and Going Out for a Stroll Trantor: 549690339 Port District. Inside a grocery store. ¡°Over there, over there, that spot is more suitable.¡± Zhou Li, carried by Xu Ying, was continuously instructing him to rush about in the courtyard. After learning that Chen Sheng was going to receive the Spirit Seed, Zhou Li had directed Xu Ying to move all the training equipment he had made himself into the utility room in the courtyard. At this moment, He was looking for a suitable ce to nt the Spirit medicine. Although the existence of the Spirit Seed could allow ordinary herbs to grow into Spirit medicine with just a little water and sunlight, For the maximization of the effect of the Spirit medicine, Zhou Li was still choosing carefully. Soon, He had selected a plot of ground. ¡°Loosen this soil a bit and then scatter the seeds.¡± ¡°Once Little Chen brings back the Spirit Seed, watering it every day, it can grow in three or four days.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xu Ying responded with a nod. He carried Zhou Li back to the room and began to busy himself in the courtyard. In a short while, Just as Xu Ying finished sowing the seeds, Chen Sheng returned from outside. ¡°Brother Chen is back.¡± Xu Ying¡¯s face was covered in dust. ¡°Mm, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± With a nce, Chen Sheng knew what the other party was doing. ¡°Old man, how do I handle this Spirit Seed?¡± ¡°Just bury it in the soil?¡± He shouted a sentence towards Zhou Li¡¯s room. Although the Spirit Seeds distributed by the Power Sect could only be used for a few days, They could still stimte a batch of Spirit medicine. No reason to not use them if they¡¯re free. ¡°Yes!!¡± ¡°And when you¡¯re practicing in the courtyard, keep the noise down. Don¡¯t mess up the Spirit medicine, or I¡¯ll run you over with my wheelchair!!¡± Zhou Li¡¯s full-of-energy voice came from inside the house. After drinking the Spirit medicine for two days, the old man¡¯s physical condition had improved a lot. ording to Chen Sheng¡¯s estimation, If he could continue drinking for a month, his body should be able to recover. Even if he isn¡¯t a Qi-sensor, living an extra decade or so wouldn¡¯t be an issue. ¡°I got it!¡± Chen Sheng responded, then crouched down in front of the soil. He dug a small hole with his finger. Then, Seed. ¡°Brother Chen, is this¡a Spirit Seed?¡± Xu Ying stood to one side, looking left and right, feeling that the thing Chen Sheng was holding was just an ordinary stone. He couldn¡¯t see anything extraordinary about it. Therefore, He asked, his expression full of confusion. ¡°It looks ugly, but it is indeed a Spirit Seed.¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t n to tell Xu Ying and Zhou Li about the Power Sect and the rewards. Given their level of strength, even if they knew, it would only add to their worries. At this moment, He had already buried the Spirit Seed in the soil. But its effect would take some time to gradually show. Chen Sheng stood up and went to Zhou Li¡¯s room. Looking at Zhou Li, who was nning to put on earplugs and go to sleep after eating lunch, ¡°I¡¯m going to go out this afternoon, probably be back in the evening.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re going, just go, why tell me.¡± Zhou Li turned over, ready to continue sleeping. ¡°I¡¯m going to Haizhou.¡± Huh? The old man instantly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Sheng. ¡°What are you going to Haizhou for?¡± ¡°To have tea with an acquaintance.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes were downcast. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know that I have friends all over the world?¡± Zhou Li ignored Chen Sheng¡¯s joking. Instead, he stared at him seriously. ¡°Little Chen.¡¯ ¡°Is there something going on?¡± Given Zhou Li¡¯s understanding of Chen Sheng, He didn¡¯t believe that Chen Sheng would go to have tea with someone just for the fun of it. ¡°Just a small thing.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°I brought back some Spirit medicine, remember to drink it.¡± Having said that. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t give Zhou Li the opportunity to continue questioning. He stepped back and closed the room door directly. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going out for a bit, look after Old Zhou.¡± ¡®Yes!¡± Xu Ying didn¡¯t ask any questions, but earnestly nodded in agreement. Afterwards, Chen Sheng returned to his room. When he came out again, he was wearing a loose ck T-shirt and carrying a mask and hat in his hand. The phone call Chen Sheng made earlier was to Zhou Qiming, who is Zhou Tairan¡¯s assistant. During the Martial Arts Conference, He too had been kidnapped by people from the Holy Sect, and he was very grateful for Chen Sheng¡¯s life-saving grace, leaving his phone number. Chen Sheng did not hide anything and directly asked about his reward. The answer he got was basically consistent with what Gao Sheng had said. But it was moreplete. For example¡.. the main person from the Power Sect who came to Fuhai Province arrived in Haizhou City at noon that day. And during their phone call, the person was on his way to the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association. Upon hearing this news, a thought came into Chen Sheng¡¯s mind. He was not in the habit of taking losses without retaliation. A good prize reced by trash that was running out of energy. Chen Sheng appeared calm on the surface. But inside, there was a gloom that was congealing, not dispersing. His fists, even more so, were achingly twitching. Therefore, Chen Sheng, who was irritated at heart, decided to go to Haizhou City to ease his mind. Of course, Not to seek revenge. After all, he was more of a peace-loving person. He simply wanted to witness the strength of a disciple of the Power Sect. If the opponent was stronger than him. He would return to the Eagle Body Sect first, upgrade his strength, and then reconsider. But if the opponent wasn¡¯t strong enough. Then¡ Thinking of this, Chen Sheng walked straight out of the grocery store and ran in the direction away from the urban area. At first in the city, he somewhat restrained his speed. But as soon as he left the city. Chen Sheng made a forceful step. Bang! The ground exploded instantly. His body transformed into a phantom, like a fierce wind blowing through, heading straight towards Haizhou City. Considering Chen Sheng¡¯s current speed, and the fact that he hardly ever ran out of stamina. Departing from Quanjiang to Haizhou, at most would take two hours. And it would be a chance to train a bit, increasing his physical attributes. In Haizhou City, at the Martial Arts Association. Outside the President¡¯s Office. A man named Xiang Zeng with red hair and a suit leaned against the wall, seemingly listless. Muffled voices of a conversation came from the room next to him. That was his father Xiang Li¡¯s disciple, Zhao Zhenfeng, currently discussing matters rted to the martial arts world of Fuhai Province with Zhou Qimin. Xiang Zeng had no interest in such matters, hence chose to stand outside the door daydreaming. Just as he was beqinninq to feel extremelv bored and started to yawn. A click was heard. Finally, he heard the sound of the door opening next to his ear. ¡°Thank you for your troubles, Secretary Zhou.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Mr. Zhao.¡± The one stepping out was a handsome young man in a suit, tall and upright. With his sharp eyes and chiseled facial features, he had an inherently sharp air about him as he walked. Inparison, Xiang Zeng on the side looked like a goof. ¡°Are you done? If you are, let¡¯s go.¡± Xiang Zeng said irritably. Zhao Zhenfeng was Xiang Li¡¯s favorite disciple, with astonishing talent and an extremely steady personality. Both in looks and character, he firmly surpassed Xiang Zeng, the prince of the Power Sect. Therefore, Many people in the sect believed that the position of the next Sect Master of the Power Sect might go to Zhao Zhenfeng, not Xiang Zeng. Xiang Zeng had always met these rumors with disdain. However, as Xiang Li¡¯s concern for Zhao Zhenfeng grew greater and greater over the years, but always disyed disappointment towards his actual son, Xiang Zeng¡¯s sense of crisis deepened. As for Zhao Zhenfeng, the more he looked at him the more irritated he became. ¡®Master asked you to apany me here, with the intention of you helping to manage the martial arts sects in Fuhai Province.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t ask you toe here to disgrace the Power Sect.¡± Looking at the despondent Xiang Zeng, Zhao Zhenfeng frowned, showing a clear trace of disgust in his eyes. ¡°You¡ª Xiang Zeng was about to snap. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be scolded by Master, then do your work properly!¡± ¡°Otherwise, I will report all your words and deeds to Master.¡± But Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s threat was quicker than his explosion. Upon hearing about his father. Xiang Zeng was immediately struck dumb. He knew that Zhao Zhenfeng would truly tell him. Compared to his own son, his father clearly trusted the other party more. Thinking of this, Xiang Zeng forcefully suppressed his rage, remaining silent on the side. Seeing this, Zhao Zhenfeng snorted coldly. His face quickly returned to its expressionless state, and he turned to look at the silent Zhou Qimin. ¡°Mr. Zhou, I will trouble you with the matters moving forward.¡± ¡°Regarding the Martial Arts Hall Masters, I will arrange for visits.¡± ¡°Of course, of course.¡¯ Subsequently, The two men, led by Zhou Qimin, walked towards the Martial Arts Association. Five minutester. They arrived outside the Martial Arts Association. The driver arranged by Zhou Qimin was already waiting. ¡°Wait.¡± He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xiang Zeng. ¡°This is the address of each martial arts hall in Haizhou City.¡± ¡°You have to visit each one.¡± Upon hearing this. Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes widened. Is this a joke? He was the son of the Sect Master of the Power Sect and he has to do minor tasks like this?! But before he could explode, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s next words promptly followed. ¡°Right now in Haizhou City, we want to carry out a series of measures.¡± ¡°But the trash of Fuhai Province might be respectful on the surface, but they might not necessarily act ording to our instructions.¡± ¡°We need to establish our authority initially, understand?¡± Now that the sect was left with only members from their own bunch, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s title for the heads of the countless halls in Fuhai Province had changed. Like Xiang Zeng, he also looked down on the martial artists of Fuhai Province. Butpared to Xiang Zeng who showed his true feelings openly, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s arrogance was hidden more deeply. Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. Did this mean he was being asked to challenge them? This was his favorite thing to do. Swish! He yanked the paper from Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s hand. Without looking back, he left directly. Even though he was very willing to take up this task. But in front of Zhao Zhenfeng, he didn¡¯t want to show that he was willing to do it. Looking at the back of the departing Xiang Zeng, The undisguised disgust in Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes reappeared. He just as much looked down on Xiang Zeng. Thetter held a noble lineage and had countless resources. But be it talent or heart, he was not even mediocre. ¡°What makes you different from the trash.¡± He said to himself.. Chapter 138 - 138: 127: Discovery and Terror Attribute Chapter 138 - 138: 127: Discovery and Terror Attribute Trantor: 549690339 Seeing Xiang Zeng¡¯s figure gradually disappearing from his sight. Zhao Zhenfeng slowly walked toward the special car arranged by the Martial Arts Association. ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. His face was solemn, and he gave a slight nod. He thanked the driver for opening the car door for him. A big shot from the capital would actually thank someone as insignificant as himself. Although it was just a polite courtesy. Still, the driver looked ttered, bowing repeatedly. ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure, my pleasure,¡± he said. As the driver¡¯s respectful and slightly frightened voice rang out, Zhao Zhenfeng prepared to sit in the back seat. But at this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s movements suddenly froze. What?! His expression changed, as if he had sensed something. Whoosh! Zhao Zhenfeng turned his head in an instant. His eyes, like lightning, shot toward the small woods to the right of the Martial Arts Association. However, There were only slightly withered branches and leaves of trees swaying in the breeze. Nothing else. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mr. Zhao?¡± The driver saw Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s movements stopped and thought there was a problem with the car. But Zhao Zhenfeng didn¡¯t respond, just walked toward the woods with a serious expression on his face. Seeing this, the driver didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions. On the way, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes searched around. Soon, In the depths of the woods, his steps suddenly halted. At that instant, He sensed someone¡¯s gaze on him from the shadows, and that¡¯s why he stopped his movements and came to check the woods. But the other party was very alert. The moment he turned around, the gaze disappeared without hesitation. And¡ Zhao Zhenfeng looked around the ground and found no traces of anyone. He didn¡¯t think his feeling was wrong. So that could only mean that the person spying on him was a martial artist with decent strength, and very skilled in such sneaky activities. Otherwise, it would be difficult to immediately flee without a trace when discovered by him. Zhao Zhenfeng had no ns to chase after the other party. Less than a kilometer away from here was the bustlingmercial street. It would only take a few breaths for a martial artist to arrive there. He didn¡¯t see the other party¡¯s face, and blindly rushing after them would only be a waste of effort. At this thought, Zhao Zhenfeng slowly stood up and headed directly towards the entrance of the Martial Arts Association. He didn¡¯t take this matter to heart. As a disciple of the Power Sect¡¯s Sect Master, Throughout the years he joined the Power Sect, Zhao Zhenfeng had experienced countless incidents like this. There were even attacks and assassinations. His usual handling method was, To be absolutely vignt about the surrounding environment. Then, when the opponent reveals himself, Directly kill them. So far, He hadn¡¯t made any mistakes. ¡°Let¡¯s go, back to the hotel,¡± Zhao Zhenfeng said as he got into the car. ¡°Alright.¡± The driver had been working at the Martial Arts Association for many years and knew better than to ask questions he shouldn¡¯t. He sat in the driver¡¯s seat, driving the car toward the hotel where Zhao Zhenfeng was staying. On the way, Zhao Zhenfeng took out his phone and sent a text message to Xiang Zeng. [Someone¡¯s watching us. If you encounter them, just kill them directly] Zhao Zhenfeng disliked and looked down on Xiang Zeng. But after all, Xiang Zeng was his master¡¯s only son. For his master Xiang Li, who had painstakingly nurtured him, Zhao Zhenfeng was always grateful. That¡¯s why he sent a reminder message. Not long after, The phone beeped. Zhao Zhenfeng was slightly surprised. Usually, Xiang Zeng would never reply to his messages. At this thought, He opened his phone and looked at the new message. His body, which had been leaning against the seat, unconsciously straightened up. Even his expression became extremely serious. The person who sent the message was his master and Xiang Zeng¡¯s father, The Sect Master of the Power Sect, Xiang Li. [Finish dealing with Fuhai Province¡¯s matters as soon as possible] [The headquarters has found a new Heavenly Person Seal Land, currently under investigation] The short message only had two simple sentences. Yet, it lit up an unprecedented sharpness in Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Handsome, are you buying clothes?¡± ¡°Wang Jiufu Jewelry special price today, affordable, waiting for you to choose!¡± ¡°Sweet and honey, you smile so sweet-¡± Chen Sheng was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, hands in pockets, head down as he threaded through the crowd on themercial street. He wore a mask on his face. But just by looking at his eyes, one could see that he was extremely serious. [Zhao Zhenfeng] [Strength: ???] [Agility: ??? ] [Constitution: ???] [Realm: ???] [Skill: Just now, He arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Association just as the two Power Sect disciples were leaving. And this, Is the attribute panel he observed using the Eye of True View while watching Zhao Zhenfeng. Question marks. It¡¯s all question marks. This was the first time Chen Sheng had ever seen such a situation. Seeing Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s attribute panel for the first time made Chen Sheng¡¯s heart tremble. The horror of the Power Sect disciples far exceeded Chen Sheng¡¯s imagination. He only nced at the other party briefly before being discovered directly. If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Sheng¡¯s quick decision-making and leaving at the fastest speed, And the other side seemed to have no intention of chasing after him. It would have been very difficult for him to escape. Chen Sheng¡¯s brow furrowed deeply. ording to the intelligence revealed by Zhou Qiming, the two people from the Power Sect who came this time were just disciples of the Power Sect. Yet, a disciple of the Power Sect made it impossible for him to see even their attributes clearly. Chen Sheng, who had originally gained confidence due to leveling up Profound and True Martial Arts and greatly enhancing his attributes, suddenly felt as if he had nothing left. As he walked, He clenched his fist slightly. He was still too weak, far too weak. He had to be even stronger. So strong that he could crush all threats without limit. With that thought in mind, Chen Sheng looked up and pretended to look around nonchntly. In his pupils, the reflection of a red-haired man with his hands in his pockets, casually looking left and right, soon appeared. After being noticed by Zhao Zhenfeng, He didn¡¯t stare directly at the other person, just swept his gaze across them roughly. Such a gaze was verymon on thismercial street. Soon, The other party¡¯s attribute panel appeared in his line of sight. [Xiang Zeng] [Strength: 60] [Agility: 57] [Constitution: 58] [Realm: Hidden Element Realm] [Skill: Ant¡¯s Breath LV3] Compared to Zhao Zhenfeng, Chen Sheng could see Xiang Zeng¡¯s attributes clearly. And they were almost identical to his own. This also made him feel slightly relieved. It seemed that not everyone within the Power Sect was as abnormal as Zhao Zhenfeng. However¡ At this point, the original n of beating the other party half to death and then finding a way to extort a brand -new Spirit Seed from their body had to be temporarily shelved. He always followed the principle of never fighting evenly if he could crush his opponent. With his current strength, if he went all out, he should be able to barely kill Xiang Zeng. However, That would inevitably cause a greatmotion and risk exposure. It would be better to return to Quanjiang first and try to break through Profound and True Martial Arts again in a few days. Then, even if there was a conflict, he would have full confidence in winning. Moreover, For Chen Sheng, This trip to Haizhou City was not a waste of time at all. ording to Zhou Qimin, the other party might adopt a series of measures to control the entire martial arts sects in Fuhai Province. As the champion of the Martial Arts Conference, Chen Sheng¡¯s Eagle Body Sect naturally could not remain uninvolved- No matter what the other party was nning to do, At least he had a preliminary understanding of their strength. This also gave Chen Sheng a short- term goal. Looking at Xiang Zeng, who was leisurely not far away. ¡°I¡¯ll focus on increasing my strength to be enough to kill both of them first.¡± He looked at his palm and thought as such. Afterward, He quickly turned around, preparing to leave this ce. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 57] [Agility: 56] [Constitution: 58] [Profound and True Martial Arts LVI: 0/100000] [Skill points: 40] On his way here, Chen Sheng spent about three hours and managed to increase his strength and agility by one point each, and his constitution by two points. For him, this intensity of training was almost considered rest, helping to alleviate the energy expended when upgrading Profound and True Martial Arts. Returning to Quanjiang City would be the perfect time to start a new round of training. But just then, ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± Suddenly, A fierce inhtion sounded not far behind him. Whoosh! Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils shrank. He tilted his head slightly, looking behind him. He saw Xiang Zeng, who had just been strolling on the street, suddenly growing taller as his muscles continuously bulged. Such an anomaly immediately caused the surrounding crowd to scream and try to run away. Has this man gone mad? Why did he suddenly activate his breathing technique state? Chen Sheng didn¡¯t observe too closely, for fear of being discovered again. He quickly looked away and prepared to leave amidst the fleeing crowd. However, He had only taken a few steps when, Smack! Arge handnded firmly on his shoulder. At the same time, A slightly smug voice sounded from behind him. ¡°Found you..¡± Chapter 139 - 128: Fierce Battle and Extreme Escape Chapter 139: Chapter 128: Fierce Battle and Extreme Escape Trantor: 549690339 Chen Sheng turned his head with a baffled look. When he saw the 2-meter-tall Xiang Zeng standing before him, like a small giant. The confusion in Chen Shengs eyes was instantly filled with fear and anxiety. His legs cant help but tremble. Youwhat do you want to do? Chen Sheng gulped. His voice had already changed. No need to pretend, you scum. Xiang Zeng grinned. He had a look that saw through Chen Sheng. At this moment,bender He entered the Breathing Method state. In Chen Shengs eyes, countless tiny ck pupils were squeezed together densely. Each of these pupils reflected Chen Shengs panic. Originally I was just guessing. The person following Zhao Zhenfeng might change their target to me after being discovered, so I just tried it out. Buthahaha, I actually found it! Xiang Zengs voice became even more triumphant. Tell me, scum. Who are you? And who gave you the guts to monitor the people of the Power Sect? His voice, Gradually became colder. The hand that was gripping Chen Shengs shoulder tightened slowly. As the bones and flesh in his shoulder let out an unbearable wail. Chen Shengs face turned pale at a visible speed, and he directly put on a sad face. I really dont know what youre talking about, Im just shopping. He spoke with a hint of pleading. Both begging Xiang Zeng to let him go. And pleading with the other person not to court death. If a battle broke out on amercial street, It would inevitably cause a huge impact. Even Zhao Zhenfeng could be attracted. Unless it was absolutely necessary. Chen Sheng didnt want to make a move. However, Chen Shengs submission Didnt at all weaken Xiang Zengs suspicion towards him. Did you know? When a person has a strong emotional fluctuation, their body begins to secrete pheromones and releases a unique scent. This scent would be very apparent in some senses with a unique structure. Xiang Zeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When I entered the Breathing State, Among all the people who fled the scene He slowly raised his finger, pointed at Chen Shengs nose. Only you Didnt have the slightest smell of fear. Although Chen Sheng only had his eyes exposed while wearing a mask and a hat, Xiang Zeng could still tell that Chen Sheng was not very old. Among the people of the same age, Xiang Zeng didnt believe that someone stronger than him would suddenly appear in Fuhai Province. Therefore, Looking at the panicked Chen Sheng, The smile on Xiang Zengs face became more yful. Like a cat that caught a rat, he was ready to y with his prey. Hearing this, Chen Shengs heart began to sink. I am a martial artist. But I just happened to pass by here. Really? Xiang Zeng raised an eyebrow. Whether you are really just passing by or not. After I beat you half to death, I will naturally know whats going on. He showed a cruel smile on his face. The Power Sects way of doing things had always been rather kill the wrong person than let them go. Anyone who tried to harm the Power Sect, Even if it was only suspicion, Would be killed first. Is there really no way to let me go? Upon hearing this, The look of fear on Chen Shengs face that was so hard to squeeze out faded away. His voice grew deeper. Hiss Xiang Zeng sneered. Youre thinking that Before Xiang Zeng could finish his sentence, Swipe! His eyes darkened. A muscr arm shot out like lightning, aiming straight at his head. In a short instant, Bang! Xiang Zengs face, filled with a triumphant smile, was covered by a fist in an instant. Between the collision of fist and flesh, The huge fist carried immense power, pouring it all onto his skull. Xiang Zengs facial features were visibly distorted and twisted. Blood spurted out in an instant. Then you can go to hell. Chen Shengs cold voice also reached Xiang Zengs ears at this time. Next second, Boom! Xiang Zengs body, like a cannonball, was shot towards the building behind him under the great power. The loud impact on themercial street caused the crowd not far away to scatter and flee, with terrified screams sounding one after another. Thick dust sDread from the broken walls of the building. The sound of cracking walls came from the building from time to time. Many stones rolled down onto the street because of it. Fortunately, due to Xiang Zengs previous actions, the nearby crowd had already escaped. No further damage was caused. Chen Sheng looked around. Some people were frightened and fell to the ground, while others, with trembling hands, picked up their phones and prepared to call the police. There were also many bold people who, while distancing themselves, couldnt help but take out their phones and record. Seeing this, Chen Sheng hesitated not at all. With a bang, The ground under his feet copsed instantly, and his body burst into the air, disappearing into the broken walls of the building, chasing after Xiang Zeng. Take advantage of his illness, go for his life! In the process, Chen Sheng breathed in, Entering bined state of Eagle Body, Rabbit body, and Profound and True Martial Arts for three Breathing Methods simultaneously. Chen Shengs body rose and his muscles continued to expand. Elusive deep blue tortoise shell patterns lit up on his body surface. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 110] [Agility: 109] [Constitution: 112] Unfortunately, The two Breathing States he had previously mastered turned part of his hidden potential into real strength. And this power hidden within Chen Shengs body was fixed.. Chapter 140 - 128: Fierce Battle and Extreme Escape_2 Chapter 140: Chapter 128: Fierce Battle and Extreme Escape_2 Trantor: 549690339 In other words, The upgrade effects of the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form do not increase with the change in Chen Shengs basic attributes. However, this is within his expectations. Otherwise, He wouldnt need to pursue any powerful Breathing Techniques. Just stack ordinary Breathing Techniques and then continuously stack Breathing States, bing invincible even faster. But even so, Under the full liberation of the three Breathing Method states. Chen Shengs attributes have also reached an astonishing 100 -plus points. Such horrifying attributes can almost be said to be a humanoid Gundam. The surrounding solid buildings are like stic in front of him, and he doesnt even need to exert force to easily destroy them. At this moment, Xiang Zeng adjusts his body in midair. Bang! His legs are like steel rods inserted into the ground, trying to stop his momentum. But even so, The residual force still slides his body backward for more than ten meters. Damn dog thing! His legs plow two deep trenches into the ground. Xiang Zeng looks at the dust not far away with a fierce and angry expression. In his opinion, the power of Chen Shengs punch is not extraordinary. The force is not even close to his own. He is just ashamed and angry at being ambushed. Thinking of this, Xiang Zeng takes a deep breath, intending to activate his Breathing State and crush Chen Sheng to death. The Breathing Techniques held by the Power Sect are mostly focused on enhancing strength. The Ants Breath practiced by Xiang Zeng is one of them. This Breathing State, when cultivated to the Breathing State, can cause a strange change in the body. Whenever Xiang Zengs muscles exert force, his body secretes a unique hormone, stimting the muscles to explode with a powerful force far beyond the physical quality. And, he also has insect-like sensory abilities. At this moment, Xiang Zengs skin gradually turns brownish. And his muscles did not expand, but instead, kept contracting in a trembling manner. His eyes stared fixedly at the not far-off distance, where the dust was being lifted, covering everything within and making it impossible to see the specific situation. Come on, you trash! I was originally nning to just beat you half to death. Nowl will make you wish you were dead, but unable to die! Apanied by the cold voice, it squeezed out from between his teeth. Xiang Zeng can smell it. Chen Sheng is rapidly approaching him. And this time, He wont be careless! Whoosh! The strong wind caused by Chen Shengs running instantly blows away the dust by his side. His huge body appears. Instantly upying Xiang Zengs field of vision, every tiny pupil. What the hell is this?! Is it a Breathing State?! Whose Breathing State is so big?! Looking at Chen Sheng wearing a pig face mask, his head almost touching the ceiling, and his body glowing with a deep blue color. Xiang Zengs face shes with astonishment. He hasnt had time to think too much. Whoosh! Despite his huge body, the fast Chen Sheng instantly crosses a distance of tens of meters and rushes in front of Xiang Zeng. Behind the pig face mask, Chen Shengs eyes coldly stare at Xiang Zeng. His arm instantly turns into a ck thread, striking from top to bottom towards Xiang Zengs skull. A piercing scream echoes throughout the building. Its the sound of a fist tearing through the air. Facing the oing force, After a brief shock, Xiang Zeng quickly recovers.bender So what if youre bigger?! Do you think Im afraid of you?! Comparing strength, The Power Sect has never been afraid of anyone. Whoosh! Unwilling to show weakness, He raises his arm to meet Chen Shengs attack. In an instant, All the muscles in his body contract. Like an engine, it instantly makes his originally brownish skin slightly reddish, and white mist rises from the surface of his skin. Boom! !!! The entire floor shakes violently. The collision of fists. The terrifying force pours down, instantly crushing the ground beneath their feet. As the ground copses with a thunderous sound, the two of them fall down to the next floor. At the moment their fists collide, Chen Shengs pupils contract. He looks at Xiang Zeng across from him. Under his full-strength punch, the opponents arm just twists and fractures slightly. Keep in mind, Chen Shengs current strength is more than 100 points. [Xiang Zeng] [Strength: 90] [Agility: 85] [Constitution: 87] And Xiang Zengs attributes, even when activating his Breathing Method state, are only around 90 points. Can he withstand it? Could it bethe effect of the Breathing Technique? Chen Sheng suddenly remembers. Mr. Hai had said before his death that breakthroughs using advanced Breathing Techniques can give the human body various miraculous abilities. Perhaps this extraordinary strength is a manifestation of Xiang Zengs Breathing Technique. Compared to Chen Shengs surprise, Xiang Zengs shock in his heart is even stronger. What kind of joke is this?! Even when his Breathing Method state is fully activated, the opponents strength is stronger than his own?!? Could it be that the other party also cultivates something simr to the Ants Breath, which has the same effect on strength?! Or is it that the strength of the opponents body No, absolutely impossible! Xiang Zeng subconsciously throws the second possibility behind him. Even in Kyoto, which is full of strong people, has vast resources, and is rich in resources, the number of martial artists of his generation who are stronger than him can be counted on one hand. How could a random person from a remote area be stronger than him! Its absolutely impossible!! Perhaps its because his pride has been repeatedly offended, Xiang Zengs eyes are bloodshot, and his face is like a madman. Step! The two fall to the next floor, and as their feet touch the ground, Die!! t, Xiang Zeng roars in anger and punches Chen Shengs chest. Bang! It seems Chen Sheng cant react in time, and he doesnt even bother to defend. His chest is hit with a solid punch.. Chapter 141 - 128: Fierce Battle and Extreme Escape_3 Chapter 141: Chapter 128: Fierce Battle and Extreme Escape_3 Trantor: 549690339 Good! Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes lit up. Even if the opponent¡¯s strength was a bit stronger than his own. But after taking this punch, their condition would inevitably be affected. He must take advantage of this opportunity. With that thought in mind. Xiang Zeng didn¡¯t hesitate at all. His arms turned into a flurry of fist shadows, pouring all his strength into Chen Sheng¡¯s chest. Boom! Boom! Boom! Xiang Zeng¡¯s fist speed could be described as terrifying. In less than a second, he had connected dozens of punches on Chen Sheng. The ground below the two of them couldn¡¯t withstand this torrential outpouring of power, causing it to continuously copse and form a circr pit with a diameter of several tens of meters in just a blink of an eye, and it was still sinking. ¡°Hahaha! ¡± Xiang Zengughed wildly. ¡°You¡¯re dead now¡ª¡± He didn¡¯t have much time to savor his triumph. Smack! A crisp sound suddenly echoed in front of him. Xiang Zeng¡¯s face froze. He felt his arm suddenly being grabbed by something. Unable to advance. Unable to retreat. The dust and smoke between the two slowly dissipated. Revealing Chen Sheng¡¯s towering figure. As well as¡ hispletely unharmed chest. ¡°How is that possible?!!!¡± Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes widened, and he let out a strange cry. After taking so many of his punches, even Zhao Zhenfeng would have been injured. How could the man in front of him be unscathed?! For a moment. Perhaps unable to ept this shocking information. Xiang Zeng actually froze, unable to even struggle. But while he froze. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t. With the protection of the turtle shell pattern, Xiang Zeng¡¯s attack had no effect on him whatsoever. As such He suddenly knew what he had to do. ¡°Had enough fun?¡± Chen Sheng spoke in a muffled voice. His left hand tightly gripped Xiang Zeng¡¯s arm, making it impossible for him to break free. At the same time, He raised his right arm. ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn.¡± As soon as his words fell, The fist, carrying the force of thousands of pounds, mmed down fiercely. Boom! The ground trembled. Under the weight of that great strength, Xiang Zeng had no power to resist, his body deeply embedded in the ground. ¡°Damn it!¡± His reaction was fast. The muscles in his legs contracted in an instant, pulling him out of the ground and kicking at Chen Sheng. But Chen Sheng didn¡¯t care at all. He let the opponent¡¯s attacknd on him, his figure unmoving like a boulder. At the same time, The muscles in his arm expanded. The fist came crashing down again. Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground trembled madly! Countless fissures spread rapidly in all directions. On the surrounding road, passing vehicles stopped one after another, narrowly avoiding chain-reaction idents. Seeing the spreading fissures, Some drivers even abandoned their cars and fled in the distance. In the distance, Many people were peering at the scene, but where Chen Sheng and Xiang Zeng were standing had long been covered by the billowing dust and smoke, making it impossible to see what had happened. They could only listen to the constant booming in their ears and feel their hearts fill with fear. ¡°Damn it¡ª¡± ¡°You, this¡ª¡± At the center of the battlefield. Xiang Zeng tried to struggle but couldn¡¯t do anything. His arm was tightly locked by Chen Sheng, and he could only watch helplessly as the huge fist continued to hammer down like a sledgehammer. Even when he tried to speak, he couldn¡¯t spit out more than three words before being mmed back by Chen Sheng. Even though the Ant¡¯s Breath granted him formidable vitality, With each punch thatnded, his head sunk deeper, and he felt dizzy. Up until now, He could only ept Chen Sheng¡¯s pounding like a battered puppet, unable to struggle. As for Chen Sheng. It was as if he wouldn¡¯t stop until he had beaten him to death. ¡°I was already¡¡± Boom! ¡°Leaving. ¡± Boom! ¡°You just had to be stupid¡¡± Boom! ¡°And stop me.¡± Boom! ¡°If you don¡¯t die, who will.¡± Chen Sheng vented all his fury on the person below him. This booming sound, Lasted for nearly a minute. On this road, A terrifying scene resembling a sinkhole had formed. And at this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng, who had left not too long ago, had already appeared less than three kilometers away from the battlefield. His body was like lightning, kicking up a fierce wind as he sped towards the center of the battlefield. While running, Zhao Zhenfeng looked at his phone. The screen showed that he was dialing Xiang Zeng¡¯s number, But no one ever picked up. Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s face grew increasingly gloomy. Soon, That billowing dust and smoke came into his view. Zhao Zhengfeng stomped the ground and his speed increased once more. In just a few moments, he had bridged the gap between them and rushed straight into the dust and smoke. He searched with his eyes. Quickly, He found Xiang Zeng, whose head was distorted and deformed, his body deeply embedded in the ground, and without a trace of life. But besides that, There was no second person in the dust and smoke.. Chapter 142 - 129: Return and Future Plans Chapter 142: Chapter 129: Return and Future ns Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Hoo¡ª¡± One kilometer away from the center of the battlefield. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t stop running, heading towards the direction away from the urban area of Haizhou City. By a slim chance, he managed to beat Xiang Zeng down before Zhao Zhenfeng arrived, and sessfully left the battlefield. Making sure no one was following behind, he casually took a set of clothes from a roadside stall. The stall owner didn¡¯t even realize what had happened. He only felt a gust of wind, and a piece of paper money slowly floated down in front of him. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t Hell Money. Otherwise, the owner might have been scared to death in broad daylight. Listening to the sirensing from afar. Chen Sheng continued to sprint, showing no intention of stopping. Compared to Quanjiang City, There were more cameras on the streets of Haizhou City. If he stopped now, he would be easily captured by those cameras. As long as he kept moving at high speed, even if captured by the cameras, he would only be seen as a vague figure. After about ten minutes, Chen Sheng finally left the urban area and arrived at the mountain forest outside Haizhou City. He reached into his pocket and pulled out something. A phone. To be precise, It was Xiang Zeng¡¯s phone. Just killing him was quite satisfying, But if he didn¡¯t take anything, it felt a bit off. Unfortunately, Xiang Zeng didn¡¯t have anything good on him. Eventually, Chen Sheng chose to take his phone. Even though he knew that nowadays phones have screen locks, and he wouldn¡¯t dare to bring it back to Quanjiang City. If it were located, It would greatly raise suspicions of him. But what if he discovered something? With that in mind, Chen Sheng used his finger to block the camera and turned on the screen. On the screen, there was a missed call from Zhao Zhenfeng and an unread message. Chen Sheng clicked on the message content. [Assist Zhenfeng, familiarize yourself with the management matters in Fuhai Province as soon as possible] [A new sealednd has been discovered, Zhenfeng needs to investigate] Sealednd? Seeing the contents of the message, Chen Sheng appeared thoughtful. Could it be a Heavenly Person Sealed Land? Profound and True Martial Arts were what Chen Sheng had obtained from the sealednd at the bottom of Zhou Family Vige waterfall. If it hadn¡¯t been for the strong defense brought by the Profound and True Martial Arts, even if Chen Sheng could have dealt with Xiang Zeng, it wouldn¡¯t have been so easy. Would the other Heavenly Person Sealed Lands have breathing techniques? It¡¯s true that Profound and True Martial Arts required a lot of skill points to upgrade. But with his current progress, he would soon be able to perfect them. At that time, He would need a new breathing technique. And the sealednd mentioned in the message, Could be an opportunity. For a moment, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes flickered, and he was somewhat tempted. At the same time, His palm tightened slightly. The phone in his hand was quickly crushed into pieces and slipped from his palm. To go to this sealednd, he must keep an eye on Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s actions. But for such an important matter, Zhao Zhenfeng would not let others know easily. The only way Chen Sheng could find out would be if Zhao Zhenfeng left Fuhai Province. After all, if he were to leave, he shouldmunicate with the people in Fuhai Martial Arts Association. Therefore, Chen Sheng¡¯s n, Was to be stronger than Zhao Zhenfeng as fast as possible. As long as his strength was strong enough, he would have many ways to pry information about the sealednd from Zhao Zhenfeng. With that in mind, He immediately started running at high speed towards Quanjiang City. At the same time, Haizhou City. In the ambnce, Zhao Zhenfeng was holding his phone, with his fingers tapping on the screen, seemingly sending messages to someone. While operating, HIS face was gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes shed from time to time. A sharp momentum unconsciously exuded from him, spreading all around. All the medical personnel in the ambnce felt their blood seemingly turning cold and didn¡¯t dare to move. And what was even more shocking to them, Was Xiang Zeng, whoy on the stretcher bed. With a breathing mask on his face and a blood transfusion bag hanging by his side. Although there was only a small movement in Xiang Zeng¡¯s chest, If observed carefully, one could see that it had signs of life! If Chen Sheng were there, he would be extremely surprised. No matter how it looked, he was already dead. The medical personnel who had arrived at the scene had thought the same thing. It was only upon Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s request that they had toply with his wishes, ced Xiang Zeng on the ambnce, and provided him with oxygen and blood. Then, They heard strange noisesing from Xiang Zeng¡¯s body. HIS pale skin gradually redden in only a few minutes. Though his head still appeared deformed, His heart started to beat again. This scene, Completely shattered their world view. Therefore, Even though Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s momentum was terrifying, The shock it brought to the medical personnel was far less than the changes in Xiang Zeng¡¯s body. At this time, Zhao Zhenfeng looked at the gradually reviving Xiang Zeng, clicked his tongue in annoyance, and couldn¡¯t help but feel frustrated. Trash is trash. Getting killed by some random person of unknown origin. Not only had he lost the face of the Power Sect, He also wasted the life-saving medicine his master had given him. That was thetest scientific research achievement, and even his own master didn¡¯t have much of it. In order to be on the safe side, he had given one of the doses to Xiang Zeng. And it was wasted on the very first day.. Chapter 143 - 143: 129: Return and Future Plans 2 Chapter 143 - 143: 129: Return and Future ns 2 Trantor: 549690339 What a waste on this garbage body. Zhao Zhenfeng is holding his phone at this moment. He is reporting the matter to Xiang Li. [No problem] [I participated in the research and development of a new batch of medicine, and I can get more in two days] [As for the assant] [Find them and eliminate the threat] Xiang Li always gets straight to the point. After briefly exining, he didn¡¯t say much more. Putting away the phone, A thoughtful expression appears on Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s face. He has already contacted the Wu¡¯an Bureau, and they are currently searching the monitoring footage and gradually questioning the onlookers at the scene. But to be honest, Zhao Zhenfeng doesn¡¯t hold much hope for finding any clues. If the one who killed Xiang Zeng is also the one who peeped at him, Considering the other party¡¯s caution, They will undoubtedly not be captured by the monitoring. As for the onlookers, it¡¯s probably also unlikely. There were too many ways for people not to see the real face. Then the only source of clues¡ Zhao Zhenfeng lowers his head and looks at the half-dead Xiang Zeng lying on the stretcher bed, unconsciously showing his disgust on his face. It¡¯s just this piece of trash in front of him. He is the only one who has had contact with the attacker. However, Although the effects of the medicine were powerful and could revive dead organs, flesh, and muscles, It couldn¡¯t create something from nothing. At this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng is hoping, That Xiang Zeng¡¯s brain hasn¡¯t been too severely damaged. Otherwise, even if he survives, he might just be a brain-dead person who could lose his memory in the end. Sunset and dusk. Quanjiang City. Yinghui Grocery Store. Waves of steam drift out of the kitchen. The smell is clearly that of pungent Chinese medicine. But for some reason, When people pass by the alley, They always linger and forget to return, deeply sniffing a few times. It seems that there was something fascinating mixed in the smell. ¡°Old man, I¡¯m back.¡± Chen Sheng walks into the backyard and calls out indifferently. He quickly returns to his room and changes his clothes. On the way back, he changed several sets of clothes. Destroying the original clothes and changing into new ones at every interval. The main idea was to be foolproof. After changing his clothes, Chen Shenges to the kitchen. The preparation of the Spirit Medicine Soup will take another half an hour or so. Xu Ying is cooking at the stove nearby. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re back.¡± He turns his head and greets Chen Sheng respectfully. ¡°Dinner will be ready soon.¡± ¡°No rush, take your time.¡± Chen Sheng responds and walks out again. Hees to the backyard where the Spirit Seeds are nted. At this time, the Spirit Seeds in the soil are gradually showing their effects. Chen Sheng can clearly see, Underneath the soil, the gray stone is radiating its spirit light at an extremely slow speed and continuously disappearing into the surroundings. Compared to noon, There are several more cracks on the stone, and the color has even faded a little. In two days, the Spirit Seed mightpletely lose its effect. Seeing this, A sh of coldness passes through Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. Today, If Zhao Zhenfeng hadn¡¯t arrived so quickly, maybe Chen Sheng would have had time to interrogate Xiang Zeng a bit. Or if his strength was stronger, he could have subdued Xiang Zeng directly and taken him to a secluded corner for a lengthy interrogation. Unfortunately, There are no ifs. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t expect that those enemies who appeared in front of him would happen to be the ones he could crush. As for Zhao Zhenfeng, Chen Sheng has a feeling, That he and the other party should meet soon. Thinking of this, ¡°Whoosh¡ª¡± Chen Sheng takes a long breath. He feels a strong sense of crisis in his heart. With the impending revival of the Heavenly Person, whose strength is unknown, The Power Sect, which has reced his prize and formed a grudge with him, is closing in on him step by step. Although Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t know what measures Zhao Zhenfeng will take to monitor the martial arts sects in Fuhai Province, The only thing Chen Sheng can be sure of is, The other party is not in Fuhai Province for a good reason. If his growth slows down, he might be caught up in these crises and be crushed to pieces. Chen Sheng hates the feeling of facing threats but being powerless. The only thing he can do, Is to quickly make himself stronger. Strong enough to be invincible. Then there won¡¯t be any more troubles like this. Smack! Chen Sheng clenches his fist. The worried look in his eyes disappears, Leaving only determination. Arriving at Zhou Li¡¯s room, At this moment, Zhou Li is walking back and forth in his room using a crutch, practicing walking. The effect of the Spirit Medicine is truly extraordinary. Even though he is not a Qi-sensor, His bone injury, which originally would take at least a month or two to recover, can now be attempted with the aid of crutches after drinking Spirit Medicine for two days. After entering the room, Zhou Li looks at Chen Sheng and quickly scans him up and down. Seeing that there are no injury marks on Chen Sheng, he breathes a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly. ¡°Kid, is everything settled?¡± Zhou Li takes his eyes off Chen Sheng and focuses on his feet. ¡°Hmm.¡± Chen Sheng nods and quickly changes the topic. ¡°With Xu Ying around, you should just stay in bed and wait for your leg to recover, instead of messing around.¡± ¡°Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.¡± ¡°Riding on someone else¡¯s back is not asfortable as walking by yourself.¡± Zhou Li speaks without lifting his head. Seeing this, Chen Sheng shrugs, ¡°Get ready for dinner in a while.¡± After saying this, He goes to the backyard and does some simple exercises while waiting. Not long after, Xu Ying, who cooked the meal, puts the food on the dining table one by one. Chen Sheng eats as fast as ever. Influenced by him, Zhou Li and Xu Ying also speed up their pace involuntarily. Under the voracious eating of the three, the dishes on the table disappeared at a visible speed.. Chapter 144 - 144: 129: Return and Future Plans_3 Chapter 144 - 144: 129: Return and Future ns_3 Trantor: 549690339 Soon, Dinner was finished. Chen Sheng went into the kitchen and scooped out the boiled spirit medicine soup. He returned to the backyard. He drank the warm soup in one go. Feeling the heat flowing inside his body, He quicklyy face down on the ground. Seeing Chen Sheng assume the Profound and True Martial Arts pose again, The two people nearby hurriedly fled the scene. ¡°Crutch, crutch!¡± Zhou Li cried out repeatedly. Xu Ying, who had already carried him to the room¡¯s entrance, doubled back, picked up the crutch and rushed directly into the room. Bang! The room door was firmly closed. Hearing the voices in his ears, Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes and began to control his breathing rhythm and muscle movement. Having cultivated the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts, he had be increasingly proficient in the practice. The sound of his heartbeat, like the beating of heavy drums, gradually echoed throughout the grocery store. Time trickled by. The night grew darker. The full moon hung high in the sky. As the efficacy of the spirit medicine soup was absorbed by his body, Chen Sheng could clearly feel every second that his body was getting stronger. Sweat constantly seeped out from his forehead, dripping down Chen Sheng¡¯s chin. The scorching hot sweat evaporated into white mist the moment it touched the ground. The white mist slowly rose, caressing Chen Sheng¡¯s towering body, as if clothing him in white armor. ¡°Whoosh -¡± Chen Sheng sprung up from the ground. He called up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 63] [Agility: 62] [Constitution: 66] [Skill Points: 60] After a night of training,bined with the attributes he had gained during his runs back and forth to Haizhou City, All his attributes had broken through the 60-point mark. He still needed forty skill points to upgrade Profound and True Martial Arts again. In just one day, Chen Sheng¡¯s three attributes had risen by more than ten points each. At this rate, He would be able to upgrade Profound and True Martial Arts again the day after tomorrow. The only concern was the spirit medicine. At Chen Sheng¡¯s current rate of consuming four spirit medicines a day, He would only have enough for two more days of training. Although he could still train without the spirit medicine, The speed would be reduced. Having grown ustomed to rapid improvement, Chen Sheng naturally did not want his pace to slow down. ording to Zhou Li, it would take at least four days for the spirit medicine to grow in the soil. ¡°Where can I get the spirit medicine¡¡± Chen Sheng pondered for a long time but could note up with any ideas. Out of options, He put this issue at the back of his mind. Anyhow, once he reached the second level of Profound and True Martial Arts, his strength should significantly improve. By then, he could explore new ideas that might lead to better insights. With that thought, Chen Sheng went to the bathroom, took a quick cold shower, and returned to his room. Lying on the bed, Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes. His ears twitched slightly. In the adjacent room, Xu Ying seemed to be practicing Rabbit¡¯s Breath. Thinking about Xu Ying, A thought suddenly rose from the depths of Chen Sheng¡¯s heart. At the beginning, he had taken on the role of Sect Leader of the Eagle Body Sect due to a deal with Zhou Li. Zhou Li had been severely weakened at the time, with not much time left to live. Chen Sheng, however, needed the Eagle¡¯s Breath in Zhou Li¡¯s possession, as well as a share of the spirit medicine belonging to the Eagle Body Sect. One thing led to another. It was like the tortoise and the green¡ oops! That¡¯s when they reached a consensus. But now, With the help of the spirit medicine, Zhou Li¡¯s health had gradually improved. Perhaps¡ it was time to consider returning the Sect Leader¡¯s position to him. Having experienced the Martial Arts Conference, Chen Sheng understood the importance of his involvement in certain matters and the problems that could arise from attracting too many enemies. Only by bing unencumbered, Could he fully stretch his legs and act. Once this thought arose, It lingered in Chen Sheng¡¯s mind. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to that old man Zhou Li about it tomorrow.¡± With this in mind, He gradually emptied his thoughts. Soon, He fell into a deep slumber.. Chapter 145 - 145: 130: The Meeting and the Miserable Xiang Zeng Chapter 145 - 145: 130: The Meeting and the Miserable Xiang Zeng Trantor: 549690339 The next day. Morning. Haizhou City. Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association entrance. Just like the day the Martial Arts Conference began. The originally slightly lively entrance, today was exceptionally deserted. The reason for this was the sign ced at the bottom of the stairs leading to the entrance , [Closed to the public today] Inside the association hall, Compared to the bustling day of the Martial Arts Conference, Today, the number of people present can be counted on one¡¯s fingers. Zhou Qiming, president¡¯s assistant, temporarily responsible for handling the affairs of the president of the Martial Arts Association. Zhao Zhenfeng, a closed-door Disciple of the Sect Master of the Power Sect. Xiang Zeng, the son of the Sect Master of the Power Sect. The three most powerful and influential martial arts halls in Haizhou City, The masters of the Flying Fish Boxing Club, Kongming Boxing Club, and Turtle Fist School. And the apanying personnel of the Kongming Boxing Club Master. Zhao Zhenfeng stood in the center of the hall, Still poker-faced Zhou Qiming, stood quietly behind him. The most eye-catching was Xiang Zeng. He, who had just walked through the Ghost Gate yesterday, had a gauze wrapped around his head. His eyes were filled with undisguised malice as he swept them back and forth over the people from the three martial art halls. At the same time, the facial features on his face involuntarily twitched periodically. The masters of the three martial arts halls were well aware of what happened yesterday. They were all seasoned martial artists. Facing Xiang Zeng¡¯s malicious gaze, they remained calm andposed. ¡°I am Qi Ming, a pleasure to meet you.¡± The Kongming Boxing Club Master took a step forward and sped his hands in salute toward Zhao Zhenfeng. He was neither humble nor arrogant when facing the two men from the Power Sect. In terms of status, he was the Martial Arts Hall Master. Although the Power Sect was powerful and the disciples were strong, It did not warrant him to bow and submit. ¡°Hehehe.¡± ¡°I have long heard of the Power Sect¡¯s reputation, and today I have finally met you two, young talents indeed.¡± The one speaking in an old-fashioned manner, Was a short old man with white hair and beard, and sagging, aged skin standing beside Zhao Kongming. His name was Li Hengkong. He was the second master of the Kongming Boxing Club. He was the direct disciple of the Kongming Fist Ancestor. He was already over a hundred years old. Back then, he was unrivaled in all of Haizhou City ¡ no, the entire Fuhai Province. Moreover, he was one of the few martial artists who sessfully retreated from the martial arts world as they aged. For so many years, Li Hengkong had been living in seclusion in the mountain forests near Haizhou City, leading a life like a carefree wandering crane. Perhaps due to his healthy lifestyle, he managed to live past a hundred years old. Moreover, just when he was nearing the end of his life, he encountered the Tide Rising Period and became a Qi-sensor. However, After bing a Qi-sensor, Li Hengkong did not choose to return to the martial arts world. Instead, he continued to live in the mountain forests, practicing martial arts and farming every day. Day by day, he did so. Qi Ming, the current master of the Kongming Boxing Club, did not know the specifics of Li Hengkong¡¯s strength. All he knew was that, Whenever he went to visit this Ancestor, In his presence, he would inexplicably find himself unable to speak and feel as if he were an ordinary person in front of a god. Therefore, When he heard that the Power Sect wasing and felt uneasy, He sent someone to find this Ancestor, hoping that he would help him hold the ground. With his Ancestor present, ¡°This person is ¡¡± After Li Hengkong spoke, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s expression remained unchanged as his gaze fell directly upon him. When facing the martial artists of Haizhou City, he still maintained politeness and cordiality, not showing the disdain and impatience in his heart. ¡°I am Li Hengkong.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve met the two young friends.¡± Li Hengkong stroked his white beard cheerfully. ¡°Junior Zhao Zhenfeng, I have met Senior.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng sped his hands in salute. However, Xiang Zeng behind him stared intently at Li Hengkong. Bloodshot eyes gradually climbing up. ¡°Was it you?!¡± ¡°Was it ¡ was it you who ambushed me?!¡± As he spoke, Xiang Zeng¡¯s facial expressions wentpletely out of control. His features squeezed together, bing extremely ferocious. Even more, saliva constantly overflowed from the corners of his mouth. ¡°Senior Brother, I think it must be him!!¡± As he said this, Xiang Zeng unexpectedly took a step forward, preparing to rush up. ¡°Get back!¡± But at this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng suddenly frowned and scolded lowly. His voice was not loud, but Xiang Zeng seemed to be frightened, his body visibly shivering. His legs were even more rigid in ce, not daring to move at all. Only his eyes were still fixed on Li Hengkong. Seeing this, Zhao Zhenfeng bowed his hands again. ¡°My younger apprentice was just preparing to visit you all yesterday, but he was attacked on the way.¡± ¡°Though I barely saved him with medicine, it will still take some time to recover, so his behavior has been somewhat abnormal.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for him insisting oning, I wouldn¡¯t have brought him to this formal asion.¡± ¡°I ask you all not to take offense.¡± As he spoke, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s face looked slightly heavy. Nowadays, Xiang Zeng¡¯s memory had be like a mentally disabled person, his emotional managementpletely out of control, and his impressions on many things were very fuzzy. Like Zhao Zhenfeng. In Xiang Zeng¡¯s memory, he only remembers him as his senior brother. So he obeyed Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s words. As for the person who attacked him, Xiang Zeng could only vaguely remember some features of the attacker. He only remembers a big figure, a deep voice, seemingly a young man. But these were too vague to recognize. Any martial artist who cultivates the Breathing Technique can erge their figure. And Xiang Zeng couldn¡¯t remember any specific information, only vague things. There was only one useful point. When the attacker entered the Breathing Method state, there was a deep blue tortoiseshell pattern on their body surface. ¡°Oh?¡± After hearing what Zhao Zhenfeng said. Although several people present had known about this already, they still pretended to be surprised. ¡°Who is so rampant as to attack a disciple of the Power Sect in our Haizhou ¡°I wonder if Zhao has any information about the attacker, and we will definitely help to the best of our ability.¡± The Turtle Fist Sect leader patted his chest loudly, assuring Zhao Zhenfeng. ¡°It¡¯s not a problem.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about itter.¡± But Zhao Zhenfeng waved his hand. He would soon know whether these people in front of him were the culprits who attacked Xiang Zeng. Right now, the most important thing was his management measures for the martial arts halls in Fuhai Province. ¡°All of you are well-respected figures in Haizhou City and even the entire Fuhai Province.¡± ¡°So today, I hope you will set an example.¡± With that, Zhao Zhenfeng looked at Zhou Qiming beside him. Zhou Qiming nodded and took a document out of his briefcase. Looking at the words on the document, even he, who rarely expressed his emotions, couldn¡¯t help but reveal some anxiety in his eyes. Last night, when he received the message from Zhao Zhenfeng, he already had a premonition in his heart. Starting today, for some time toe, the martial arts world of Fuhai Province might undergo unprecedented turmoil. Seeing Zhou Qiming¡¯s performance, the Martial Arts Hall Masters couldn¡¯t help but notice it. They exchanged nces, a trace of solemnity shing in their eyes. At this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng took the document from Zhou Qiming¡¯s hand. ¡°There are three copies here.¡± ¡°Next, I will tell you the Power Sect¡¯s management measures for Fuhai Province. ¡± ¡°After I finish, if you agree, you can sign and seal on the document.¡± At this point, Zhao Zhenfeng paused for a moment, his gaze swept over the several martial arts hall masters and Li Hengkong. He continued speaking only after making sure they had no objections, ¡°The day before yesterday, Martial Arts Association President Li Wuji issued an order for our Power Sect to take charge of supervising all the registered martial arts sects in Fuhai Province.¡± ¡°The purpose is to regte the martial artists all across China and provide resource assistance to the best of the association¡¯s ability.¡± Upon nearing this, The several Martial Arts Hall Masters remained expressionless, their emotions not wavering at all due to Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s words. They knew, these were surface words. Based on the information they had gathered, the Power Sect would never willingly hand over resources to others. Next, the main topic would be discussed. However, the first regtion Zhao Zhenfeng mentioned, made their facial expressions no longer able to hold back. ¡°Starting today, ¡± ¡°Spirit medicine resource allocation will be cancelled for martial arts sects ranking below ss A.¡± ¡°After being tested and approved by personnel from the Power Sect, ss A sects can choose to join the Power Sect as affiliates and receive Spirit medicine resources allocated by the Power Sect.¡± ¡°For ss A sects that do not pass the test by Power Sect personnel, their qualification will be revoked as well..¡± Chapter 146 - 146: 131: Temptation and the Power Sect’s Plan Chapter 146 - 146: 131: Temptation and the Power Sect¡¯s n Trantor: 549690339 Thud! The Turtle Fist Sect¡¯s leader, with his muscr and sturdy figure, abruptly stomped forward. As his foot hit the ground, a cracking sound echoed. Underneath his foot, the ground slightly dented in. This showed just how much his inner turmoil was, taking this step. ¡°Zhao Zhenfeng, what are you guys in the Power Sect up to?!¡± The leader of the Turtle Fist Sect asked in a fury, his eyes round and wide open. Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s words were too shocking, So much that in his agitation, he addressed him by his full name. ¡°These martial arts sects of Fuhai Province never had any illusions about what your Power Sect could do for us.¡± ¡°But right from the start, your Power Sect want to take away the spirit medicine share of the majority of the martial arts halls. Even the ss A Sects like us need your Power Sect¡¯s approval. Isn¡¯t this too tant and overbearing?¡± ¡°This has never been the case since the establishment of the Martial Arts Association.¡± ¡°If your Power Sect insists on doing this, then we will go directly to Kyoto and ask President Li if this is his intention!¡± When the leader of the Turtle Fist Sect said this, he was confident. Everyone in the martial arts world knows what kind of person Li Wuji is. It can be said that it¡¯s all thanks to Li Wuji¡¯s promotion and endorsement of martial arts over the years, as well as persuading the authorities to cultivate martial artists, that China¡¯s martial arts world has developed to be as strong and talented as it is now from the dwindling numbers it had decades ago. However, in recent years, It was heard that Li Wuji seems to have made a mistake in his cultivation, with his strength deteriorating significantly and his health worsening day by day. It seemed like he didn¡¯t have much time left. Therefore, For Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s just mentioned rule, the leader of Turtle Fist Sect subconsciously thought that Power Sect was acting alone, trying to deceive and take control of the resources of Fuhai Province. At this moment. Facing the interrogation of the Turtle Fist Sect¡¯s leader, And the equally hostile nces from the other two sect¡¯s leaders, Zhao Zhenfeng kept his gaze down, his face unchanged. ¡°Why are you all in such a hurry?¡± He started to speak in a calm, unhurried tone. At the same time, he slowly raised his head to look at the Turtle Fist Sect¡¯s leader, who was taller than him by a head. His gaze was as emotionless as an ancient well, Yet inexplicably cold to the core. The leader of the Turtle Fist Sect was originally full of bluster. But when he was caught by Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s gaze, he felt a chill in his heart, and his right foot subconsciously moved to step back. Smack. Luckily, Li Hengkong had appeared by his side at some point and used his weak, thin palm to lightly hold him back, preventing him from making a fool of himself in public. ¡°Hehe, young man, continue.¡± Li Hengkong lightly patted the Turtle Fist Sect¡¯s leader¡¯s back, indicating him to calm down. Afterwards, He looked at Zhao Zhenfeng with a friendly face. All three martial arts hall masters in the room respected their senior, Li Hengkong, and kept quiet after his words, waiting for Zhao Zhenfeng to continue. Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhenfeng took a deep look at Li Hengkong before speaking again. ¡°We, the Power Sect, have no interest in the resources of Fuhai Province where you guys belong.¡± ¡°Our only goal is to provide assistance to the local martial arts sects as President Li directed.¡± ¡°However, we in the Power Sect have always respected the strong.¡± ¡°Handing resources over to a hopeless weakling is a waste that we believe is against nature. ¡± ¡°Only by concentrating resources on talented martial artists can we maximize the potential of the elite martial artists in Fuhai Province.¡± ¡°And, we in the Power Sect won¡¯t touch any of the low-level martial arts halls¡¯ resources.¡± ¡°Do you understand my meaning?¡± Upon hearing this, The eyes of the three martial arts hall masters all concentrated on Zhao Zhenfeng. ¡°You mean those resources that originally belonged to the low-level sects will all belong to us, the ss A Sects?¡± Kongming Boxing Club¡¯s leader, Qi Ming, gulped down his saliva, And when he said this, His voice auivered a little. Under the gazes of the three men, Zhao Zhenfeng slowly nodded, ¡°Not only that,¡¯ ¡°For those martial arts halls that pass the test and are willing to join our Power Sect as affiliates¡¡± As he said this, Zhao Zhenfeng slightly lifted his chin, For the first time since the meeting began, His face showed the pride of the Power Sect¡¯s disciples. ¡°Be it power, status, resources, or money,¡± ¡°We, the Power Sect, will not stint.¡± ¡°We will provide you with ess to the numerous breathing techniques hoarded by the Power Sect, and also¡ we will also give you spirit medicine resources equivalent to those of the Martial Arts Association.¡± ¡°Fuhai Province, will be under your ss A martial arts halls from now on, how you manage those low-level sects is up to you. We, the Power Sect, will only assist and not intervene too much.¡± ¡°All you need to do is listen to ourmands and movement when we need it.¡± ¡°And also, on ordinary days, identify, supervise, and register the identity information of all Qi-sensors.¡± ¡°Once we find a Qi-sensor with high enough talent, you can rmend them to join the Power Sect, and we will offer resources as a reward.¡± ¡°Even if you want to keep them, it¡¯s fine, but you have to inform us, and we will still provide resources for assistance.¡± His voice died away. The room fell silent. Only asional gulping noises could be heard. The three Martial Arts Hall Masters looked at each other, their breath somewhat hurried. Their eyes were burning with desire. It is impossible for them not to be tempted. Who doesn¡¯t want their Martial Arts Hall to flourish and expand? Who doesn¡¯t want to know how many Breathing Techniques the Power Sect possesses? Who doesn¡¯t want to have resources for the disciples at their disposal to cultivate freely? Admitting to Power Sect may morally be a little difficult to ept. But in front of interests, These three Martial Arts Hall Masters have already put those moral aspects behind them. Moreover, The so-called requests of the Power Sect are not requests at all. As an affiliate, assisting the Power Sect in affairs is very normal. Because originally, when Zhou Tairan was in office, they were also approximately of the same status. Therefore, The three Martial Arts Hall Masters, at this moment, all had the look of temptation. As for their reactions. Zhao Zhenfeng had already expected it. At this moment he stood quietly in the same ce, just waiting for the three to agree. For the Power Sect. The resources share of a few ss A Sects is just a drop in the bucket. As long as these ss A Sects agree to his terms, Then the Power Sect only needs to pay a bit of insignificant Spirit medicine resources and release some low-level Breathing Techniques collected from other sects. They can then pull these ss A Sects under theirmand and control martial artists within Fuhai Province. Nowadays Qi has reached its peak, Qi-sensors will appear in a blowout form. What Power Sect really wanted to do, Is to absorb potential high-talent Qi-sensors within Fuhai Province, and bring these people under their banner. As for Kongming Hall, Flying Fish, and Turtle Fist Sect. To tell the truth, Not just these three martial halls. Power Sect looks down on all present-day martial arts sects in Fuhai Province. The reason for choosing them is merely because these three Martial Arts Halls have enough influence in Fuhai Province, which is convenient for the next action. As for what if the three martial arts halls took the benefits but didn¡¯t listen to themands? If they don¡¯t listen to themands, there¡¯s no need for them to exist. Power Sect has this confidence and strength. ¡°I wonder how this so-called test will be conducted?¡± At this moment, The three Martial Arts Hall Masters exchanged nces. In the end, Leader of Kongming Hall, Qi Ming, took the first step forward and gave a salute to Zhao Zhenfeng. In the final analysis, All the benefits promised by Zhao Zhenfeng. They need to pass the test first. If they can¡¯t pass the test, the treatment of their three sects wouldn¡¯t be any different from those of the lower-level sects. ¡°Very simple.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng raised his hand, pointing to Xiang Zeng behind him. ¡°Each of you Martial Arts Halls sends one person to fight me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be the judge if you have enough qualifications.¡± The so-called test. Actually, it is just a formality. The three Martial Arts Halls were chosen by Zhao Zhenfeng after deep consideration as management sects. No matter what the result, as long as the three Martial Arts Halls are willing, he will let them join the Power Sect as affiliates. The real purpose of the test, Is to merely take a look and see if the person who attacked Xiang Zeng yesterday is among the four people in front of him. Just like this? Hearing the requirements, three Hall Masters were stunned. They thought that there would be an all-around test of personnel and various indicators of the martial arts hall. But they didn¡¯t expect that it was just a simple duel. It really seemed to be a bit childish. But the one who proposed the n is Zhao Zhenfeng himself. They can¡¯t say much. ¡°Then about the test site¡¡± Thinking of this, Qi Ming speaks once more. Following this, He saw Zhao Zhenfeng pointing with his finger, Pointing to the ground below him. ¡°Right here..¡± Chapter 147 - 147: 132: Treachery and Individual Actions Chapter 147 - 147: 132: Treachery and Individual Actions Trantor: 549690339 Half an hourter. Martial Arts Association. Convention Center Ruins. ¡°You really are an impressive youth, the old man admits his inferiority.¡± Li Hengkong of the Kongming Boxing Club concedes defeat to Zhao Zhenfeng in front of him. His white hair and beard are slightly disheveled, but his face still maintains a smile. The tense atmosphere from the drawn swords and bent bows earlier haspletely disappeared. All three ss A martial arts halls in Haizhou City, including Li Hengkong, have smoothly passed Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s test. And have proven that they were indeed not the ones who attacked Xiang Zeng. In their surroundings, the ruins once piled with stones have been impressively cleared to create an enormous open space. This was not intentional on the part of Zhao Zhenfeng and Li Hengkong. It was simply caused by the aftermath of their fight. Not far away. The three Martial Arts Hall Masters, along with Zhou Qiming, stand at a distance, fearing they might be affected by the fight and end up seriously injured. Not until the mor dies down. Do they tentatively observe from a distance. Only when they confirm that the fight has ended do they quickly approach the ruins. The head of the Kongming Hall, Qi Ming, looks at his ancestor and then at Zhao Zhenfeng. For a moment, He is unsure whether to be shocked by Li Hengkong¡¯s strength or by Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s monstrosity. Moreover, it seems like, Neither of them had used their full strength. ¡°All right, all right.¡± Li Hengkong still seems rxed, as if the fight just now was just a post-meal exercise and not something he¡¯s taking to heart. ¡°Now, let¡¯s talk about joining the Power Sect.¡± Tn the end Under the temptation of resources and power, All three martial halls decide to join the Power Sect and be affiliated sects. ¡°Brother Zhao, I wonder about other ss A sects¡..¡¯ The title with which the leader of the Turtle Fist School addresses Zhao changes quickly. Right after the document is signed, he changes his address to Zhao from his name to ¡°Brother Zhao¡±. Although it ismon in sects to be ranked ording to strength or seniority, No matter which one, Zhao Zhenfeng deserves this title. However , The Flying Fish Hall¡¯s master and Kongming Hall¡¯s master admire the Turtle Fist School¡¯s master for adapting so quickly to the title. It should be noted, Zhao Zhenfeng is about the same age as their sons. ¡°How about letting you guys notify and test the other ss A sects?¡± ¡°Let me say one more thing.¡± ¡°The more ss A sects join the Power Sect, although the resources Power Sect gives you will not decrease,¡± ¡°But the resources originally belonging to your Fuhai Province Martial Arts Association¡..¡± Zhao Zhenfeng says lightly. The implication is clear. The number of disciples from these three martial halls is already sufficient to be dispatched to various cities in Fuhai Province to takeover the local martial arts associations. The rest of the ss A sects, the Power Sect does not n to absorb. The same goes for the Eagle Body Sect where Chen Sheng is located. Even though ording to the information he gained from Zhou Qiming and others, Chen Sheng seems to have cultivated more than one breathing technique to perfection in order tobe able to kill Mr. Hai who is suspected to be an entering realm martial artist. However, Such strength is not outstanding in the Power Sect. Moreover, the breathing techniques that Chen Sheng chooses to break through are all low-level ones without special abilities. Although his talent is indeed not bad, Unfortunately, his path forward has been cut off. To Zhao Zhenfeng, this kind of talent, even if given arge amount of spirit medicine, his limit is onlyparable to Xiang Zeng¡¯s current strength. There is no need to waste more resources on him. After listening to Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s words, The three Hall Masters all shiver inwardly. Fortunately, They were already aware of this. ¡°Brother Zhao, rest assured.¡± ¡°We will notify the other ss A sects and the many low-ranking sects.¡± ¡°I guarantee there will be no objections.¡± Qi Ming lowers his head to take his orders. If it were half an hour ago, He might not have been so confident. However, just now, having witnessed the battle between his ancestor, Li Hengkong, and Zhao Zhenfeng, He no longer has anv doubts in his mind. Unless Chen Sheng¡¯s strength advances again in just a few days, He will certainly not be a match for his ancestor. The two Hall Masters of the Flying Fish Fist School and the Turtle Fist School, looked at Qi Ming with a mix of fear and envy. They wished their ancestors could also emerge from the ground to back them up. ¡°Good, then I¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng gives a slight nod. He doesn¡¯t have much time to waste on these affairs. Next, all he needs to do is quietly wait for the martial arts world of Fuhai Province to change drastically. If the three martial halls can¡¯t keep the various martial arts sects in check, that¡¯s when he needs to step in. Having said that, Zhao Zhenfeng prepares to leave the Martial Arts Association without paying any more attention to the others. To him, What¡¯s more important is to prepare for the newly discovered Sealed Land. Behind him, Xiang Zeng, who has already lost his mind, sees Zhao Zhenfeng preparing to leave and quickly follows. ¡°Oh right, young man.¡± But just then, Li Hengkong, standing at the original spot, speaks up again. ¡°What you said earlier about the attacker¡¯s physical characteristics reminds me of someone.¡± Step. Zhao Zhenfeng stops his steps, turns around, and looks at Li Hengkong. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Eagle Body Sect, Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Even though I have neverid my eyes on this person Chen Sheng,¡± ¡°I have heard of him from my disciples.¡± ¡°There are not many among the younger generation in the entire Fuhai Province who could cause such destruction as we saw yesterday.¡± ¡°Apart from not having the deep blue pattern, every other detail matched up with this Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think, my friend Zhao, that this is worth questioning?¡± As he spoke, Li Hengkong squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved up into a smile. He looked exactly like a crafty old fox. Whoosh! As soon as he finished talking. All those present turned their gazes to Li Hengkong. Even Qi Ming looked puzzled. He didn¡¯t understand why his ancestor suddenly pointed his spear at Chen Sheng. Other than the deep blue pattern, every other characteristic that Zhao Zhenfeng mentioned was too vague. Moreover, Chen Sheng¡¯s state when he activated his breathing state and his appearance when he killed Mr. Hai and rescued them had nothing to do with the deep blue pattern. The implication of Li Hengkong¡¯s words was far too forced. ¡°Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t have the strength,¡± he said indifferently. These people didn¡¯t know how powerful Xiang Zeng was. But he knew it clearly. Chen Sheng, even with two breakthroughs in his breathing technique, would never have been able to defeat Xiang Zeng, let alone kill him in such a short time. ¡°However¡. since you are going anyway, just take a look.¡± With these words, Zhao Zhenfeng shot Li Hengkong a deep look. Then, He grabbed the frantic Xiang Zeng who was itching to act beside him. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go.¡± ¡°Senior Brother- -¡± Xiang Zeng was now no more than a simpleton. Anyone who gave him a suspect could drive him mad. ¡°Shut up! ¡± Zhao Zhenfeng frowned and scolded. Xiang Zeng was so scared that he dared not move again. He looked at Li Hengkong, who was smiling contentedly, and a sh of displeasure crossed his face. Zhao Zhenfeng knew all too well. Li Hengkong only mentioned Chen Sheng¡¯s name just to trigger Xiang Zeng and take him along. Given Xiang Zeng¡¯s current intelligence, a simple verbal incitement from Li Hengkong would be enough to make him and Chen Sheng sworn enemies. When the timees, He can kill Chen Sheng under the guise of protecting Xiang Zeng. ¡°Chen Sheng, if you want to kill, then kill, ¡± ¡°My Power Sect can bear it.¡± ¡°But I warn you, this will not be tolerated again.¡± An edge of coldness seeped into Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s voice. Finishing his words, Without waiting for Li Hengkong¡¯s response, Zhao Zhenfeng turned around and walked directly towards the Martial Arts Association¡¯s exit. Xiang Zeng looked at the departing Zhao Zhenfeng, then at Li Hengkong. He stayed there frowning for a long time. In the end, He chose to follow Zhao Zhenfeng, not daring to defy his senior brother. ¡°Thank you, my friend Zhao!¡± Li Hengkong, smiling broadly, bowed towards them from behind. He didn¡¯t mind the chill that had just emanated from Zhao Zhenfeng at all. The figures of the two men soon disappeared from sight. ¡°Master, why target Chen Sheng?¡± ¡°With your strength, you shouldBang! Before Qi Ming could finish his sentence, he got hit on the head. ¡°Indecisive, no wonder our Kongming Fist Club has been declining under your leadership.¡± Li Hengkong huffed derisively, and walked towards the Martial Arts Association¡¯s exit with his hands behind his back. ?orancea, we rew on me yower NCC, ana our rapiQ sess IS a matter 01 lime.¡¯ ¡°But right now, we can¡¯t underestimate Chen Sheng¡¯s strength. To our Kongming Fist Club, it¡¯s a considerable threat.¡± ¡°Moreover, martial artists as young as him tend to vengeful and aggressive.¡± ¡°You took their resources, do you expect them to be friends with you?¡± ¡°What if he disapproves and attacks our club while I¡¯m away, can you handle ¡°What if he runs away after fighting, can you catch him?¡± ¡°Or, do you want me, this old man, toe down from the mountain over and over, or just stay and guard your club every day?¡± ¡°What use is a club master like you?!¡± With Li Hengkong¡¯s questioning, Qi Ming was left speechless. He followed behind him, his face changing from cloudy to clear as he wrestled with his thoughts. After a long while, Only determination was left on his face. ¡°I understand, Master.¡± At these words, A gratified smile appeared on Li Hengkong¡¯s face. ¡°Good that you understand.¡± ¡°After notifying the martial arts clubs in Haizhou City, let¡¯s head to Quanjiang City together. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s best to eliminate threats as soon as possible.¡± The two gradually walked further away. Soon, The other two club masters also left together. Previously, when Li Hengkong and Zhao Zhenfeng were fighting, the three had already decided among themselves which cities¡¯ Martial Arts Sects they would take charge of. Now, It was best to get these martial arts sects settled as soon as possible. In no time, Zhou Qiming was the only one left in the Martial Arts Association. He stood there, A look of indecision on his face. Finally, He seemed to make up his mind, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°I have something very important to tell you..¡± Chapter 148 - 148: 133: Coping with the Imminent Threat Chapter 148 - 148: 133: Coping with the Imminent Threat Trantor: 549690339 At noon. In Yinghui Grocery Store. ¡°Huff¨C¡° Chen Sheng, who had just finished his morning training, leaped up from the ground. His heavy body mmed into the ground, making a muffled noise. Standing in ce, Chen Sheng called out the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 70] [Agility: 69] [Constitution: 74] [Skill Points: 82] Nowadays, threats surround Chen Sheng, making him feel a strong sense of crisis. Therefore, As soon as he got up in the morning, after having breakfast, Chen Sheng immediately started practicing. Even during the two hours of boiling the Spirit Medicine Soup, he didn¡¯t waste any time and used it all to practice the Profound and True Martial Arts. Fortunately, After a morning of training and the energy brought by the two spirit medicines, The effect of Chen Sheng¡¯s training was extremely significant. Agility and strength both increased by seven points. Constitution also increased by eight points. Such progress could be described as huge. Not to mention, half a day has just passed now. ording to Chen Sheng¡¯s estimate, by the end of his afternoon training, He should be able to gather enough skill points to upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts to the secondyer. The firstyer of Profound and True Martial Arts not only brought Chen Sheng a significant increase in attributes but also brought him a strong defensive power. Allowing him to firmly take the upper hand in the battle with Xiang Zeng. Besides, There was another skill, in a moist environment, Chen Sheng¡¯s physical fitness would be significantly improved. As for this ability, due to its limitations, Chen Sheng hasn¡¯t tried it yet. However¡ At this thought, Chen Sheng seemed to have an idea. He looked up at the sky. It was still clear. But as Chen Sheng sniffed, he could clearly feel that the humidity in the air seemed to be constantly increasing. It seemed to be raining. Maybe by then, he could test how much this skill could enhance his abilities. From the turtle shell pattern¡¯s power, It shouldn¡¯t be too weak either. And the secondyer, What kind of changes would it bring to Chen Sheng? He was looking forward to it. With this in mind, Chen Sheng got up and went to the stone table to quench his thirst with a sip of water. At this moment, There was a sudden noise from the front door. It was the sound of someone opening the ss door. Following this was the sound of hurried footsteps. Without having to think about it, Chen Sheng knew it was Xu Ying who had gone out. Now, because of Zhou Li¡¯s poor health, The grocery store had been closed for a long time. If it wasn¡¯t for Xu Ying being diligent, cleaning every day, and throwing out the expired stuff, The store would have been smelly long ago. However, This young man seemed to be restless, as if he couldn¡¯t wait to have work to do twenty-four hours a day. Even during Chen Sheng¡¯s practice, when he couldn¡¯t move around in the backyard, he would ask Chen Sheng if he needed him to go out to do anything. As luck would have it, Chen Sheng happened to have something for him to do today. At this time, Xu Ying just entered the grocery store and saw that the deafening heartbeat had stopped. He quickly walked to the backyard. ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s done.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already deposited the money in it.¡± Xu Ying handed Chen Sheng a bank card and several documents. Then, He sat down by the stone table, carefully watching Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen.¡± ¡°You¡l¡¡± Xu Ying opened his mouth, looking hesitant. He had just gone out and, under Zhou Li¡¯s introduction, sold one or two valuable items that belonged to Xu Yang. The money from the sale, ording to Chen Sheng¡¯s idea, was deposited into two cards. One card was left with the Eagle Body Sect, and the other was taken by Chen Sheng. As for the documents, They were procedures for changing the acting Sect Leader of the Eagle Body Sect. In the morning, During the meal, Chen Sheng mentioned his n to leave the Eagle Body Sect to Zhou Li. Zhou Li knew Chen Sheng¡¯s concerns and didn¡¯t say much. He just became noticeably quieter. Xu Ying, of course, was even more affected. The main reason he joined the Eagle Body Sect, besides being homeless, Was because of Chen Sheng¡¯s presence. Now that Chen Sheng wanted to leave, he suddenly felt a little lost. ¡°Hmm.¡± Chen Sheng gave a light sigh, looking at Xu Ying. Seeing his dejected face, Chen Shengughed and patted his shoulder. ¡°As for you, just stay in the Eagle Body Sect.¡± ¡°At least until Old Zhou recovers, I won¡¯t leave.¡± Chen Sheng looked at the water cup in his hand, his eyes somewhat absent-minded. Initially, he promised Zhou Li that even if he left the Eagle Body Sect, he would at least wait until he found two or three talented disciples. But now, Chen Sheng felt that Xu Ying was more suitable for this task than himself. Continuing to be the sect leader would be more harmful than beneficial for Zhou Li and the Eagle Body Sect. Seeing that Chen Sheng had made up his mind, Xu Ying could not say anything else. He could only hang his head and stand up, walking towards the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for lunch. As for Chen Sheng, After rxing for a few minutes, he got up and went to the empty ground to begin his training again. Ding-dong- But at this moment, The phone on the table suddenly lit up. Chen Sheng turned his head to look, and his face immediately became serious. On the screen, it showed that it was a call from Zhou Qiming. The phone call was probably rted to the Power Sect. He immediately picked it up. ¡°I have something important to tell you.¡± Zhou Qiming¡¯s voice came from the other end of the line. Then, he ryed the events at the Association in the morning to Chen Sheng. When he first heard that Xiang Zeng was still alive, Chen Sheng looked astonished. He clearly remembered that he had already killed the man. And when Zhou Qiming mentioned the rest of the story, as well as the two men from Kongming Boxing Club preparing toe to Quanjiang City to kill him, Chen Sheng¡¯s face became even more somber. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t resolve this matter with my abilities, so I can only give you advance notice.¡¯ ¡°Chen Sheng, if you really can¡¯t¡ just run away.¡± Zhou Qiming advised with an unbelievably serious tone. For a moment, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t respond. His mind was racing, thinking about what to do. ording to the information Zhou Qiming provided, Li Hengkong of the Kongming Boxing Club was able to briefly fight with Zhao Zhenfeng. However, neither of them had exerted their full strength. But they were likely much stronger than Xiang Zeng. Although Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes had increasedpared to yesterday, it still seemed¡not safe enough. What he needed now was time. ¡°Brother Zhou, do you have any idea when they might arrive in Quanjiang ¡°They just set off and will visit the martial arts halls in Haizhou City, which will take at least two hours.¡¯ ¡°From Haizhou to your ce¡¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng furrowed his eyebrows. Four hours. His training needed time. Breaking through required time as well. What if, when breaking through to the Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng would pass out like he had before, and the enemies just happened to arrive at that time? Then he would be digging his own grave¡ªcertainly doomed. He had to figure out a way to dy. Thinking of this, ¡°I understand, Brother Zhou. Thank you for giving me a heads-up.¡± After hanging up the phone, a cold light shed in Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. He went to the kitchen. ¡°Xu, help me cook two stalks of spirit medicine soup.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xu Ying agreed without hesitation. These past few days, he had been pestering Old Zhou, learning about thebination of spirit medicine and herbs, as well as the technique of decocting them. Now he also had a preliminary understanding. After instructing Xu Ying, Chen Sheng practiced the Profound and True Martial Arts in the backyard as if nothing had happened. Two hourster. Xu Ying had lunch ready. Chen Sheng got up again and finished eating with the two of them. During the meal, he summoned the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 72] [Agility: 71] [Constitution: 77] [Skill Points: 89] The two hours of training had increased Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes by another point. With a little more time, he could directly upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts. Unfortunately¡ The two from the Kongming Boxing Club had probably already set off. There wasn¡¯t much time left for Chen Sheng. After the meal, ¡°Old man, I remember your store has monitoring, right?¡± Chen Sheng suddenly spoke up. ¡°Why?¡± Old Zhou nced at him, somewhat confused. ¡°Give me your phone, andter go out with Xu Ying for a while.¡± ¡°Don¡¯te back until I call.¡± Upon hearing this, Old Zhou¡¯s expression instantly turned serious. It wasn¡¯t his first time experiencing this kind of situation. Whenever enemies might arrive, Chen Sheng would ask him to hide. Previously, he hid in his room. But this time, Chen Sheng told them to leave the grocery store directly. Obviously, The enemies were very strong. ¡°Can you handle it?¡± Old Zhou asked solemnly. ¡°I can.¡± Chen Sheng nodded confidently. Upon hearing this, Old Zhou had no more doubts. He threw his phone at Chen Sheng right away. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t pack up, let¡¯s go.¡± Old Zhou waved his hand and directly instructed Xu Ying to carry him. He knew that the two of them would only be a burden to Chen Sheng as he was now. The best they could do was try not to hold him back as much as possible. One minuteter. Old Zhou and Xu Ying had already left the grocery store. Chen Sheng slowly got up, grabbed a ss of water from the room, went to the kitchen, and poured the spirit medicine soup into the ss. Then, he walked straight out of the house. At the same time, in Haizhou City, > the pair from the Kongming Boxing Club had just taken a car to Quanjiang. Pitter-patter. From the back seat, Qi Ming was attracted by a sound outside the window. He looked up. ¡°It seems¡. it¡¯s raining? Chapter 149 - 134: Past Stories of Rainy Days and Skies Chapter 149: Chapter 134: Past Stories of Rainy Days and Skies Trantor: 549690339 Its good that its raining. Li Hengkong was originally resting with his eyes closed on the other side. Upon hearing the words, He slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the droplets of rain continuously hitting the car window and spreading into circles, he couldnt help but be a bit lost in thought. Even though the Power Sect is willing to settle things for us, Rainwater can save us a lot of effort. Right. It seemed as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Qi Ming. There are still two people from the Eagle Body Sect, right? Later, kill them too. Tell the people who are tailing them not to miss anyone. But if its Chen Sheng, dont monitor him. A martial artist with Chen Shengs strength will notice immediately if someone is watching him. During his conversation, Li Hengkongs face was calm, as if what he said was a matter of course. It seemed as if he wasnt talking about killing two people, But rather stepping on two ants. Huh? Ancestor, those two people, Before finishing his sentence, Qi Ming was interrupted by Li Hengkong. Staring at Qi Ming, who was showing a look of reluctance, his eyes slightly narrowed. If you dont eradicate the root while cutting the grass, are you waiting for others to take revenge? Since youve decided to do it, then be thorough and resolute. No wonder you havent achieved much despite practicing martial arts for so many years with your attitude. Although Qi Ming was nearing fifty, in front of Li Hengkong, he still didnt dare to say much. Understood, Ancestor. He had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistakes. Seeing this, Li Hengkong gave a nod in acknowledgement. Sigh He withdrew his gaze. He heaved a quiet sigh. Looking at the increasingly dense rainwater on the car window. As his eyes gradually lost focus, Li Hengkongs thoughts also began to drift far away. When he was young, the poprity of practicing martial arts was quite strong. In turbulent times, China was in a state of insecurity. Ordinary, powerless people were like ants at the side of the road, constantly facing the threat of annihtion. Just merely living in peace was a desire that most people couldnt attain. And it just so happened, Martial arts was the way ordinary people could change their fate with the lowest barrier to entry. Young Li Hengkong was born into a farming household. Although he couldnt be said to be well-off, He wasnt starving either. ording to his original life trajectory, his father would save some money to send him to school to be a schr. Schrs had a very high social status at that time. It was also Li Hengkongs dream. Until one day, His father identally bumped into a noble while going to the market and was whipped by them, covering his entire body in blood and injuries. Luckily, He wasnt beaten to death. It was indeed fortunate in his misfortune. Because he barely survived, It seemed as if not killing him made the noble a great benefactor. The young Li Hengkong, for the first time, felt puzzled, And felt anger. He questioned his father why he didnt harbor hate, Why he didnt seek revenge on those nobles. Even an ant should stand up and resist when bullied, strive to bite a chunk of flesh from the opponent, instead of being grateful and thankful for being spared a lowly life. Ferocious. Resentful. This was the first time young Li Hengkong demonstrated his true nature and dissatisfaction with society. What he received, Was the shock and strangeness in his mothers eyes, And his fathers p in the face. This p, Didnt subdue Li Hengkong. Instead, it made him understand some things. The world is unequal. He didnt want to be a person like his parents. He didnt want to be a vile person who is grateful even after being pped in the face. He wantedto live a good life. As for what defines a good life, Actually, at that time, Li Hengkong himself didnt have a clear idea. All he remembers is that, By the time he snapped back to reality, he had already run far away from home. That day, Was also a rainy day. Thinly d and hungry, Li Hengkong randomly chose a direction and wandered aimlessly. He soon fainted. When he woke up, he had been rescued by the founder of the Kongming Boxing Club, Li Sheng. Not wanting to return home, Li Hengkong lied about being an orphan and started doing misceneous chores at the Kongming Boxing Club. Sometimes, When the disciples were practicing boxing, he would learn a few moves. And then he would stay up during the night, secretly practicing. It wasnt long before he was caught by Li Sheng. Luckily, Li Sheng saw potential in Li Hengkong and decided to ept him as a disciple. Within the Kongming Boxing Club, Li Hengkong set foot on the path of being a martial artist. He was highly gifted. In just two to three short years, no one in the boxing club, apart from Li Sheng, was his match. He had thought that life would go on quietly like this. Unfortunately, Good times dontst. One day. Ll LS Lile DUX111b CIUU. Suddenly, a body drenched in blood was carried in from outside the door. This body was his Master, Li Sheng. After a series of questions, Li Hengkong finally found out the reason. Again, it was because of the citys nobility. Li Sheng, with a chivalrous heart, saw the nobility bullying men and belittling women on the roadside. He stepped in to help and injured the aristocrats. As a result, the next day, he was caught under the muzzles of a dozen foreign guns. He was stabbed miserably by the nobility using a dagger. Such shocking things. In those troubled times, there were countless, and many people were already ustomed to it. But Li Hengkong would not ept it. It was as if he had returned to that rainy day five years ago. The day when he saw his father return home covered in scars. A me of nameless anger lit up, quickly filling Li Hengkongs heart. Usurping power with martial arts is not just a joke. That night. Li Hengkong held a wide-back knife, strode into the noblemans house alone. He killed all six members of the family, plus dozens of servants, everyone. He even moved the silver notes and jewels from the noblemans house overnight and presented them to another nobleman in the city to bargain for a chance to survive. In the end. Li Hengkong seeded. He became the gym leader and sessfully escaped the murder penalty. In the next five years, Li Hengkong worked for the citys nobility, umting arge amount of wealth while his status kept rising, and hiswork kept expanding. Another five years. Li Hengkong plotted for a long time, killed the noble who had saved him back then, and reced him. The Kongming Martial Arts Gym. Became thergest martial arts gym in Haizhou City at that time. He, had be the nobility. In the following days. Li Hengkong gradually realized the benefits of being in a high position. He also gradually understood what kind of good days he wanted. Unfortunately, he was ultimately just a mortal. As he got older, his body grew weaker and weaker. The me deep in his heart was gradually extinguished. Just when he was preparing to step down as the gym leader and enjoy the riches and glory in thest moments of his life. Li Hengkong met a person. It was the appearance of this person that made Li Hengkong choose to retreat to the mountain forests and nourish his heart. He did this to extend his own life. Thus, Li Hengkong lived a leisurely life in the mountain forests, day after day. Until the Tide Rising Period came, until the Power Sect took over Fuhai Province. Until Qi Ming invited him out of retirement. Li Hengkong knew, The me in his heart, finally had the possibility of burning again. Thinking of this. Li Hengkong looked out the window. The corners of his mouth couldnt help but slightly turn upwards. It was as if he had returned to the troubled times of the year. Back to that time, he used his fists to force his way into the world. Now, it can also be a time of turmoil. In the quiet carriage, he suddenly spoke. Your disciple is here, Qi Ming quickly straightened his body and respectfully replied with his head low. Do you know what the most important thing about being a martial artist is? Without waiting for Qi Ming to answer, he spoke his answer first. It is to fight. The practicing of martial arts, like a brave leap in the rapids, if you do not advance, you will retreat. In this world, there has never been a saying that if you are honest and stay put, you can live a peaceful life. Especially since the Tide Rising Period ising. If you dont find ways to be stronger, others will be stronger than you. If you dont want to climb up, you will be squeezed down. If he is strong, he is justified. If you are weak, you should take a beating.bender If the Kongming Boxing Club wants to avoid being swallowed, it must swallow others first. Chen Sheng wont be the first, and he wont be thest. If you cant do it. Then you are ruining my hard work. I will not allow it, do you understand? Towards the end. The voice of Li Hengkong carried a slight chill. Qi Ming subconsciously shivered. This was the first time he had seen Li Hengkong, who was usually very amicable and friendly, demonstrate this kind of behavior. Disciple understands. Regardless of what he thought internally. At least on the surface, Qi Ming promised quickly. Hearing this. Li Hengkong returned to his previous smiling demeanor. He patted Qi Mings shoulder. I know that there is still resistance in your heart. But thats alright. Once you taste the sweetness of this, you will be addicted and find it hard to extricate yourself. Chen Sheng, and his Eagle Body Sect. Should be considered as our Kongming Boxing Clubs first step upward.. Chapter 150 - 135: Stalking and Meeting Point Requirements Chapter 150: Chapter 135: Stalking and Meeting Point Requirements Trantor: 549690339 Port District. Alley entrance. Old Jis Home Cooking. This restaurant is the same one Chen Sheng and others often order from for takeout. There is no menu, only the fresh ingredients the boss buys every day from the vegetable market for customers to order from. Because the alley is in a remote location, most of the time, there are no guests in the restaurant. There are only two tables haphazardly ced inside the store. The boss mainly relies on takeout orders from the surrounding neighbors to make money. But today. In the deserted store, there was a young man dressed in casual clothes. He has an ordinary appearance, hard to find if thrown into a crowd.bender He ordered only a bowl of noodles. Then, he sat down next to the table and took out his camera. Boss, I came here to travel in Quanjiang. A friend told me that the dishes here taste great, so I wanted to give it a try. But this ce is really hard to find, I navigated for a long time and finally found it by asking for directions. As the young man fiddled with his phone, he chatted casually with the bossdy at the counter. After obtaining the bossdys permission, he began to take pictures with his camera. When the boss brought the noodles to the table, the young man took pictures from different angles for several minutes, only stopping when the bossdy reminded him that the noodles would stick together. Then he sat down and started eating. He looked like a genuine tourist from another ce. Bossdy, your cooking is so good, why dont you try? After just one bite, the tourists eyes widened in an instant. It seemed that he was shocked by the deliciousness of the noodles. Strangely enough, its rare to see guests in the store for a whole week. But today, two came one after the other. Before the young tourist could finish speaking, a young man in a ck hooded sweatshirt entered the store. It was Chen Sheng. Boss, prepare some dishes for me. Ille and get themter. Chen Sheng handed two hundred yuan in cash directly to the bossdy. You must be Old Zhous rtive, Ive only heard your voice before. I didnt expect you to be so handsome. The bossdy yfully patted Chen Shengs chest. Her hand felt as if it had touched steel, causing her palm to ache a little. But the bossdy didnt seem to mind. I didnt expect you to work out, young man. With that, she was about to reach out her hand again. Ahem. Bossdy, why dont you go to the kitchen and tell the boss first? Fortunately, Chen Sheng quickly stepped back, avoiding her groping hand. Alright. Withdrawing the cash from Chen Shengs hand, the bossdy twisted her wide body and slowly walked towards the back door. Inside the store, there were only two people left. The tourist looked at Chen Sheng and nodded with a polite smile. Immediately, he saw Chen Sheng walk straight to him, pulled up a chair, and sat down. Very close. Facing Chen Shengs strange behavior, the man eating the noodles hesitated for a moment. But he didnt explode, just moved his chair a little further away from Chen Sheng. But the next second, Whoosh! A sturdy arm turned into a ck thread, and before the man could react, it grabbed him by the neck. Looking at the calm Chen Sheng, the mans eyes widened in an instant,pletely unsure of where he had exposed himself. He tried to struggle, but Chen Shengs arm was as solid as steel, unmoved by his efforts. Following that, with Chen Shengs palm slightly tightening, there was a crisp crack. The mans arm went limp at his side. The light in his eyes faded at a visible speed. Without any dy, Chen Sheng held the mans head and quickly walked out of Old Jis Home Cooking. Two minutester, Huh, wheres the person? The bossdy came out of the kitchen, only to find that the two had disappeared. All that was left on the table was the barely eaten noodles. Five minutester. Port District, Wastewater Discharge Area. Ssh Three corpses tied together with ropes and weighted down with stones were casually thrown into the river by Chen Sheng. After doing all this. Chen Sheng took out his phone, seemingly sending a text message to someone. Drip-drop. As raindrops hit the phone screen. Chen Sheng looked up. On the way here, the sun overhead had already been obscured by dark clouds. Its about to rain. Inhale He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. In this kind of environment, he could feel his body seemingly full of strength. He called up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 77] [Agility: 76] [Constitution: 82] Chen Shengs eyes widened slightly. He was surprised to find that his attributes had increased slightly. And moreover, With the raindrops overhead bing denser. His attributes were still rising. Is this Profound and True Martial Arts? Just because of a little rain. His attributes had increased by nearly five points across the board. What if it was a downpour or if he was in water? What would be the effects when he upgraded to the secondyer? Thinking about it. Chen Sheng clenched his fists. Feeling the increasingly abundant power within his body, his confidence in dealing with the two people from Kongming Boxing Club deepened by a point. There was no time to waste. Chen Sheng immediately took out the water bottle hanging from his waist and drank all the Spirit Medicine Soup inside. The rain grew denser. The droplets of water thatnded on Chen Shengs body did not bring him any difort. On the contrary, it made his bodys condition unprecedentedly good. Chen Sheng quicklyy down on the ground. In no time. Waves of heartbeats like the pounding of heavy drums echoed, perfectly blending into the sound of the rain falling. One hours time passed in an instant. During this time, the rain showed no signs of stopping, but rather grew heavier. Huff Still maintaining the posture for training the Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng pulled up the panel. [Skill Points: 102] He didnt know if it was because of being in the heavy rain. But this time, Chen Shengs training results far surpassed the previous ones. In just one hour, his skill points had increased enough to upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts. Just in time, Half of the medicines effect remained in his body, unconverted. Without any hesitation, Chen Sheng focused his gaze on the Profound and True Martial Arts skill. Upgrade! As soon as his thoughts moved, His skill points began to drop rapidly. [Skill Points: 2] [Profound and True Martial Arts LV2: 0/200000] Boom! This time, Unlike the calmness during thest upgrade, The moment the text on the panel solidified, An intense pain swept through Chen Shengs mind. Thump! Chen Shengs vision went ck. His body hit the ground, not moving at all. The heavy rain poured down. Trying to bury Chen Shengs body in the curtain of rain. As time gradually moved forward, Chen Shengs body seemed to be undergoing wondrous changes. Deep blue turtle shell patterns on his skin surface lit up and vanished in a peculiar rhythm. In the dim rain curtain, it was particrly eye-catching. Whoosh-Whoosh- From the surroundings, the rivers surface, which had been rtively calm, was now making continuous sounds like sea waves washing over it. It was as if the river was hiding an undercurrent. And the frequency of this sea wave sound coincided with the frequency of the turtle shell patterns lighting up on Chen Shengs body..
Chapter 151 - 151: 136: Illusions and Arriving at Quanjiang Chapter 151 - 151: 136: Illusions and Arriving at Quanjiang Trantor: 549690339 Whoosh¡ª Whoosh¡ª The sound of the raging sea waves echoed in his ears. Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes. What filled his sight was the boundless horizon of the sea. The sea water underneath him was churning tumultuously. Dark clouds filled the sky, as if thunder snakes were dancing wildly. As expected. He had returned once again to the ocean when he broke through the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts. Before him¡ Chen Sheng looked up. Even though he was mentally prepared. But when his sight was overtaken by a huge pupil filled with yfulness, Chen Sheng¡¯s heart involuntarily shuddered. And needless to say, There was a vertical yellow pupil, staring at him coldly. It was, yet again, Xuanwu. It seemed like it was not satisfied with teasing himst time. It had been waiting here for a while. ¡°You came again?¡± Having had one experience before, Chen Sheng¡¯s mind quickly regained its calmness. He met Xuanwu¡¯s gaze, somewhat speechless. After all, it was a divine beast. Was it really that idle? Seeming to feel belittled, Xuanwu snorted. A thick column of Qi was exhaled from its nostrils. The next moment, This column of Qi turned into boundless gales, making it difficult for Chen Sheng to keep his eyes open. It stirred up colossal waves that roared furiously. Immediately after, Before Chen Sheng could respond, The giant snake beneath his foot once again opened its huge mouth. And¡ grabbed him in its mouth. Instantly, he was engulfed in darkness. Closing in, Was a rapid descent. When Chen Sheng opened his eyes again, Below, A vast cknd came into sight. More urately, It was not thend, But Xuanwu¡¯s carapace. It was just too enormous. A nce reveals no boundaries. What is it trying to do? Chen Sheng was puzzled. He was somewhat uncertain as to why he had to meet Xuanwu each time he made a breakthrough. Could it be that, He must gain its acknowledgement in the illusion, To sessfully upgrade? Before Chen Sheng could figure it out, Sudden changes took ce. A strange sensation arose from under his feet. He looked down and saw that, Unbeknownst to him, sea water began to seep out from Xuanwu¡¯s carapace, rising visibly fast. In just a few breaths, it had already reached Chen Sheng¡¯s shins. What is happening? Chen Sheng looked on in confusion, observing his surroundings. Butpared to Xuanwu, he was just too minuscule. The spikes rising from its carapace, from Chen Sheng¡¯s point of view, looked like a range of continuous mountain tops. The head of the snake that had grabbed him had also disappeared without a trace. Soon, The water level had risen more than two meters. Chen Sheng had nowhere to escape and could only be submerged. Gurgle gurgle_ Water was continuously flowing into his body through the holes in his face. Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes widened. He was actually experiencing the sensation of suffocation. In principle, Havingpleted the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts, he should have been able to breathe underwater, and would not face the problem of suffocating in the water. But at this moment, It seemed as though all his abilities had been lost. But Chen Sheng did not give up. He iled his limbs, trying his best to swim upwards to gain a chance to breathe. But his rate of ascent could not catch up with the speed at which the water level was rising. He could do nothing but watch as the water surface got further and further from him. Chen Sheng, stuck in the illusion, Seemed to no longer possess his unbeatable body, but was merely an ordinary person who was weaker than the weakest. With the passage of time, The sensation of suffocation was bing increasingly intense. Water had already upied his lungs and throat. Chen Sheng at this moment, his pupils were somewhat dted. The movement of his limbs was getting slower and slower. The vision before his eyes was gradually blurring. Consciousness was slowly dissipating. In the end, He once again plunged into darkness. ¡°Do not fear.¡± ¡°Do not be afraid.¡¯ ¡°ept them.¡± ¡°Now, they are friends.¡± The Real World. The Wastewater Discharge Area. The heavy rain continues unabated. The densely falling raindrops linked into a sheet, turning into a curtain of rain covering Heaven and Earth. Whirl ¨C The raindrops struck the ground, causing friction with the air. The resulting mor drowned all other noises in the surroundings. In the midst of the rainfall. The deep blue rune pattern on Chen Sheng¡¯s skin was gradually solidifying. His brows were furrowed deeply, and his mouth was open, trying to breathe. His hands trembled slightly, asionally raising them. It seemed like he was trying to grab onto something. The raindrops falling from the sky around him were not flowing into the river along the slightly sloped ground. Instead, they were eerily lingering on the ground. Centered on Chen Sheng, the surrounding ground within a dozen meters. Pooling water swiftly rose. This pooled water surrounded Chen Sheng, periodically causing sshes, hitting Chen Sheng¡¯s face. It seemed, Like it was trying to wake Chen Sheng. One hourter. At the entrance of Yinghui Grocery Store. Qi Ming held an umbre, shielding Li Hengkong from the falling rainwater. ¡°Ancestor, this is the registered residence of the Eagle Body Sect registered in the Martial Arts Association. ¡± ¡°Just that¡..¡± Qi Ming¡¯s face darkened slightly. When the two were about to reach Quanjiang City, he had already tried to reach the trailing personnel via phone. But there was no response at all. Clearly, They had already been discovered by Chen Sheng. Even though he had warned the trailing personnel in advance not to pay too much attention to Chen Sheng, and just needed to keep an eye on his movements. With a martial artist of Chen Sheng¡¯s level, anyone who stared at him for more than a second would be quickly noticed. But it¡¯s unknown whether the trailing personnel were too bold, or Chen Sheng had other means. In short, Qi Ming did not expect Chen Sheng to stay here waiting for them after discovering that someone was tailing him. ¡°Ancestor, someone must have tipped him off in advance¡ª¡± Saying that, Qi Ming was about to pick up the phone, ready to pursue Chen Sheng¡¯s tracks through other channels, But was interrupted by a wave of a hand. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°He wille out.¡± Li Hengkong still had a smiling face. Having said that, He stretched out his hand and pulled open the ss door directly. The door was not locked. It seemed like it was waiting for their arrival. Li Hengkong did not hesitate. He stepped in. The shop¡¯s lights were not on, and it was raining outside. So it was exceptionally gloomy. He did not continue to move forward. Instead, he looked into the corner above. In the gloomy environment, there was a little red light that flickered from time to time. A surveince camera. When he was standing at the door, had already noticed this camera. ¡°Eagle Body Sect Leader, Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°Suspected of attacking Xiang Zeng, a disciple of the Power Sect, in Haizhou City yesterday, causing him to be seriously injured, and causing arge number of casualties. The scene was severely damaged.¡± ¡°Today, Li Hengkong of the Kongming Boxing Club came to inquire and found that including Chen Sheng, all the members of the Eagle Body Sect had fled.¡± ¡°Thus, a manhunt is issued.¡± Li Hengkong seemed to be speaking to the camera, and was also making a deration. Having said that, He chuckled and stroked his white beard. ¡°Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯te out today.¡± ¡°Tomorrow, this news will be reported directly to the Wu¡¯an Bureau and the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association. ¡± ¡°Given the Power Sect¡¯s domination, even if you can hide for a while.¡± ¡°Everyone rted to you will suffer.¡± ¡°Good luck. ¡± Having said that, Li Hengkong closed his eyes and stood there without moving. Waiting for something. People are obtuse. They are used to binding themselves with emotions. During the decades he served at the Kongming Martial Arts Gym, He had witnessed countless powerful martial artists being dragged down by so-called emotions, ending up with nothing. Li Hengkong believed, Chen Sheng would be no exception. After a while, Ring, ring, ring- The phone ringtone came from outside. Qi Ming picked up the phone, looking at the screen. His pupils contracted immediately. This number. Came from the trailing personnel from before. ¡°Hello.¡± Qi Ming put the phone to his ear, his face serious. The next second, Chen Sheng¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°You cheeky thing, remember when I saved your life?¡± Chapter 152 - 152: 137: Meeting and Immediate Combat Chapter 152 - 152: 137: Meeting and Immediate Combat Trantor: 549690339 Upon hearing this. Qi Ming¡¯s face quickly darkened. Although he was indeed in the wrong. But when Chen Sheng pointed his nose and scolded him, Qi Ming still felt very embarrassed. Deep in his heart, thest trace of guilt disappeared without a trace. ¡°Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°I know I have acted unjustly, and in fact, I have always been advising my ancestor.¡± ¡°How about this, you cooperate with our investigation, or simply join Kongming Martial Arts Gym, and I can ensure you remain unharmed.¡± ¡°What do you say? In the meantime. Qi Ming looked at Li Hengkong inside the room. Li Hengkong chuckled. He nodded towards the camera. What he said was not the truth. The main purpose was to deceive Chen Sheng out. As long as they kill him, the rest would be much easier. ¡°Okay.¡± What Qi Ming didn¡¯t expect was that. Chen Sheng on the other end of the phone agreed without any hesitation. ¡°Then, you guyse to¡¡± Chen Sheng mentioned an address. ¡°Head of Kongming Hall, I hope you keep your word.¡± With that said. Only a click was heard. The phone call was abruptly hung up. ¡°Do you believe him?¡± Li Hengkong walked out of the grocery store, looking at Qi Ming. Qi Ming didn¡¯t answer. He just looked at his mobile phone screen and sneered. All went unspoken. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what this kid is up to.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Qi Ming quickly took out his phone and entered the location mentioned by Chen Sheng in the navigation. Both were unfamiliar with Quanjiang City. To go to the location that Chen Sheng mentioned, they could only rely on the navigation. After confirming the direction. Li Hengkong walked forward with his hands behind his back, following the direction indicated by the navigation. His figure seemed slow but actually fast. In the blink of an eye, they had almost reached the entrance to the alley. Qi Ming hurriedly followed. As they walked. His face showed a hint of confusion. ¡°Ancestor.¡± ¡°Chen Sheng kid shouldn¡¯t be stupid.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t trust him, and he surely doesn¡¯t trust us.¡± ¡°But if he gave out this address, could it be that¡¡± Now that it hade to this. Qi Ming didn¡¯t want to capsize in the gutter. ¡°No need to worry.¡± ¡°Today¡¯s battle with Zhao Zhenfeng, I probably¡ only used 50% of my strength.¡± As soon as these words came out. He heard a whoosh sound. Qi Ming looked at Li Hengkong, his eyes widening in an instant. ¡°What?¡± Although he knew in his heart. Li Hengkong and Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s battle, neither had given their true strength. But the battle remnants, which felt suffocating just by being close, were made by his ancestor using only 50% of his strength. ¡°No need to be surprised.¡± ¡°The vastness of this world is far beyond your imagination.¡± ¡°It is because of some adventures that I have been able to reach my current realm.¡± ¡°In the future, with the support of the Power Sect, it is only a matter of time before you reach this level.¡± Hearing this, Qi Ming Li Hengkong¡¯s few words. It swept away Qi Ming¡¯s doubts in his heart. What reced it was unparalleled excitement. And, The thirst for power. Fifteen minutester. The wastewater discharge area was not far from the grocery store. Since Li Hengkong was neither fast nor slow, the two arrived here in less than twenty minutes. Huh? Qi Ming stood by the riverside and looked around. He couldn¡¯t find a single figure. A look of confusion appeared on his face. He looked at his phone. The destination shown by the navigation was indeed here. ¡°Ancestor, did that kid intentionally deceive us here to buy some time?¡± Qi Ming turned to look at Li Hengkong next to him and asked. Li Hengkong shook his head lightly. He didn¡¯t look around like Qi Ming. From beginning to end. His gaze was fixed on the drainage pipe not far away and never shifted. ¡°Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve arrived.¡± ¡°Are you nning to keep hiding?¡± Li Hengkong spoke loudly in the direction of the pipe entrance. Step. Amid the rain, the sound of sttering water filled Qi Ming¡¯s ears. However, even so. When Li Hengkong took a step; He could still clearly hear the opponent¡¯s footsteps on the ground. Li Hengkong carried his hands behind his back and walked step by step towards the direction of the drainage pipe with a calm expression. The momentum of his body. Gradually increased. Upon seeing this, Qi Ming¡¯s pupils contracted. At the same time, he hastily retreated in the opposite direction of Li Hengkong. At this moment, The aura emanating from Li Hengkong¡¯s body. Stronger than when he fought against Zhao Zhenfeng in the morning. How strong? Qi Ming could clearly see. The raindrops falling from the sky, once they approached Li Hengkong¡¯s side, would directly vanish. It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier around him. Blocking the invasion of rainwater. That was Li Hengkong, a martial artist, whose in-body blood flow at high speed brought high temperature, instantly evaporating the raindrops that approached. Such a magical scene appeared. Chen Sheng is dead. That is Qi Ming¡¯s only thought. Even in his opinion, Li Hengkong was making a big fuss. With Chen Sheng¡¯s strength shown at the Martial Arts Conference. Even if Li Hengkong only used 50% of his strength, the opponent might not have the slightest chance of survival. Let alone now. ¡°Sorry Chen Sheng.¡± ¡°The essence of this world, after all, is thew of the jungle.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just¡not strong enough.¡± Until he retreated a hundred meters away. Qi Ming, holding an umbre and standing in the rain, muttered. In his opinion. Chen Sheng was indeed a gifted individual. If not for the appearance of the Power Sect. Perhaps, Chen Sheng could have be a leader in the martial arts world of Fuhai Province. The Eagle Body Sect would have flourished in his hands. It¡¯s a pity¡ At this thought. A trace of regret appeared in Qi Ming¡¯s eyes. At this time, As Li Hengkong approached within twenty meters of the drainage pipe, A huge shadow gradually appeared at the entrance of the pipe. Thud. Li Hengkong felt a vibration under his feet. In the pipe in front of him, a huge beast as big as a mountain peak seemed to be getting closer. Thud, thud, thud. The vibration became stronger. But face remained unchanged. Still taking one step at a time forward. Soon, The huge shadow covered his head from above. Li Hengkong looked up. A terrifying body with perfectly proportioned muscles, like a Greek sculpture, upied his entire field of vision. At the end of his sight. Were a pair of eyes without any emotional fluctuations. ¡°Are you Li Hengkong?¡± Click¡ Crackle! As if sensing a threat. Li Hengkong straightened his hunched, skinny body. Inside his body, there was a continuous sound like frying beans. In an instant, His momentum was like a drawn sharp sword. The sword¡¯s energy instantly cut through the curtain of rain, stabbing towards Chen Sheng. [Li Hengkong] [Strength: 112] [Agility: 112] [Constitution: 112] [Skills: Eagle¡¯s Breath Level 2, Crane Cry Wind Song Level 2, Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Level 2, Bear¡¯s Breath Level 2¡.] When Chen Sheng looked at Li Hengkong. His entire field of vision. Was almost upied by his opponent¡¯s panel. Densely packed, all breathing techniques. And none of them had broken through to the Breathing State. Was this old man able to pile up his attributes to such a terrifying level by relying on arge number of breathing techniques and resource supply alone? At this moment. Facing Chen Sheng¡¯s inquiry. ¡°Are you Chen Sheng?¡± Li Hengkong chuckled and not only didn¡¯t answer, but even asked a question in return. Chen Sheng¡¯s exhibited form. Qi Ming had seen it once in the secret passage in Haizhou City and had informed Li Hengkong about it. so, Even though Chen Sheng¡¯s disyed power was very astonishing now, Li Hengkong was not surprised at all. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t answer either. The two stared at each other. Nobody spoke again. In the brief silence, Momentums collided and stirred. The surrounding raindrops were hit by the invisible impact, and all avoided both of them. A temporary vacuum zone was formed with them at the center. Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes gradually sharpened. The ground under Li Hengkong¡¯s feet was constantly cracking. Then, Woosh! Chen Sheng was the first to attack. His thick, pitch-ck arm instantly broke through the air, carrying a huge force, and bombarded Li Hengkong below him with a fist. The sound of the air bursting was continuous. The sharp de-like gale constantly impacted Li Hengkong¡¯s face, brushing his hair back behind his head. Facing the terrifying fist that roared above his head. Li Hengkong chuckled. ¡°Nice momentum.¡± ¡°Just don¡¯t know how powerful it is.¡± Woosh! Li Hengkong appeared confident. He directly raised his arm and punched straight against Chen Sheng¡¯s fist. It looked as if he was using a toothpick to confront a steel bar countless timesrger. One big and one small. Two fists collided. Next second. Boom! Under the terrifying force, In just a short moment, the ground within dozens of meters around them copsed. Under the ground shaking, it cracked inch by inch, spreading farther out. The terrifying airwaves, with the two as the center, curled up countless stones, shooting them out in all directions.. Chapter 153 - 138: Escaping and Mysterious River Water Chapter 153: Chapter 138: Escaping and Mysterious River Water Trantor: 549690339 Whoosh! When the stone grazed by his cheek, simply the wind it stirred up left a deep gash on his face, exposing the bone beneath. Qi Ming couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes, and his breathing quickened. He felt his scalp go numb. Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! It wasn¡¯t over yet. The sound of air breaking continued one after another. Arge amount of shattered stones shot viciously in his direction. ¡°Inhale¨C ¡± Qi Ming¡¯s pupils shrank. Without a moment of hesitation, he simultaneously activated the Breathing State and retreated at breakneck speed. He didn¡¯t want to experience the sensation of being hit by these stones head-on. During the retreat, Qi Ming barely managed to avoid the barrage of stones. His distance from the battlefield grew further and further. It wasn¡¯t until he was about two hundred meters away that Qi Ming stopped. His face showed a lingering fear. And amidst that fear, there was a hint of disbelief. ¡°What level of power¡ is this?¡± Qi Ming¡¯s voice trembled slightly. He was, after all, a prestigious Martial Arts Hall Master. A powerful person who had perfected a Breathing Technique. But now, The mere aftershocks of the two¡¯s battle were too much for him to bear. In Qi Ming¡¯s eyes, Li Hengkong already seemed like a heavenly god. Just based on his performance at the Martial Arts Association¡¯s morning event, Qi Ming believed that if he fought against Li Hengkong, he wouldn¡¯t evenst a second. Not to mention now. Yet Chen Sheng Could actually sh head-on with Li Hengkong and cause so muchmotion. For a moment, A strong sense of defeat surged up from the depths of Qi Ming¡¯s heart. He lifted his head, trying to see the situation in the distant battlefield after the direct sh between the two. But for some reason, The surrounding rain curtain was so dense that it seemed abnormal. With his eyesight, he could only vaguely see Chen Sheng standing still within the rain. Looking at his massive figure, Qi Ming couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, Now there was an ancestor to take action. Otherwise, Relying solely on himself, even if he wanted to attach himself to the Power Sect, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to get past Chen Sheng. Thinking about this, Qi Ming¡¯s gaze searched around Chen Sheng but never saw Li Hengkong¡¯s figure. But he didn¡¯t worry. Indeed, Compared to Chen Sheng, Li Hengkong¡¯s physique was far too small. It was normal for him not to be able to see it. Qi Ming thought this way in his heart. He decided to wait quietly here. He would wait till after Chen Sheng died, then approach. On the other side, At the center of the battlefield. The copsed ground formed a giant circr crater with a diameter of several dozen meters. Rainwater constantly dripped into the pit, quickly raising the water level. Scarlet-red droplets mixed with the already murky rainwater, continuously spreading out in all directions. Drip. Drip. Li Hengkong¡¯s face disyed shock as his legs stumbled backward. Soon, His body lost its bnce. With a thud, he fell directly onto the ground, sshing water everywhere. Unclear water mixed with blood sttered onto Li Hengkong, making him look extremely miserable. He instinctively tried to stand up. But as soon as his body was lifted, it couldn¡¯t find any support and crashed back down to the ground. Whoosh- ¨C Water sshed once again. On the ground, Li Hengkong mechanically turned his head to look at his arm. However, All he saw was empty air. Just from exchanging one punch with Chen Sheng, His arm was obliterated? ¡°No¡ It¡¯s impossible.¡± Li Hengkong was disheveled, his gaze unconsciously scanning the surroundings. The swollen water around him was rising rapidly. On the water¡¯s surface floated scattered fragments of bone and flesh. Their origin was self-evident. Perhaps the impact of reality was just too intense, Or perhaps his earlier disdain for Chen Sheng,bined with his current miserable state, had formed a huge gap in Li Hengkong¡¯s heart, making him unwilling to face reality. Looking at the severed end of his shoulder, Li Hengkong¡¯s expression gradually turned ferocious. Boom! His right palm mmed the ground forcefully, and his body instantly sprung up with the help of inertia. His hair danced wildly, and his face looked like that of a madman. Perhaps it was the remnants of reason in his mind that prompted him, This time, Li Hengkong did not choose to directly confront Chen Sheng. Instead, he used his smaller stature to slip under Chen Sheng¡¯s body. At the same time, Rip- The muscles in Li Hengkong¡¯s legs beneath Chen Sheng swelled up in an instant, tearing apart his already loose trousers. Simultaneously, His right arm turned into a ck thread, striking Chen Sheng¡¯s vital point. Li Hengkong was truly a seasoned martial artist. Within just one punch, he realized that he was no match for Chen Sheng in terms of strength. The only chance for victory was to take advantage of his own size, sneak into his opponent¡¯s blind spot, and strike at his vital points! As he saw it, His fist was getting closer and closer to Chen Sheng¡¯s vital point. A sneer crossed Li Hengkong¡¯s face. In the end, His fist firmly struck Chen Sheng¡¯s vital point. ng! ! A sound like metal shing erupted in an instant. The next second, ¡°Ahh- A piercing scream tore through the rain curtain. From a distance, Qi Ming¡¯s face lit up with joy. Although the thickening curtain of rain made it increasingly difficult for him to see the battlefield, Such a heart-wrenching scream must mean that Chen Sheng was near death. Thinking about how even a genius like Chen Sheng, who seemed unattainable to him, was about to fall at the hands of his own ancestor, Qi Ming felt an inexplicable surge of joy in his heart. Meanwhile, At the center of the battlefield, Li Hengkong, who had lost both arms,y in the circr pit with lifeless eyes. It seemed that what had just happened was too beyond his imagination, causing his brain to stop thinking. ¡°Are you satisfied with this level of power?¡± A cold voice came from above. Chen Sheng took a step forward and arrived in front of Li Hengkong. His grayish-white beard and mustache were messily sticking to his face, and hisplexion was extremely haggard. As the voice rang out. Li Hengkong slowly raised his head and looked at the indifferent Chen Sheng. It seemed he wanted to say something. But as soon as ne openea ms moutn, tne Diooa tnat naa Deen trappea In ms throat could no longer be suppressed and gushed out instantly. Blood stained his chest. At this point, Li Hengkong gradually came to his senses. He looked at the deep blue lines engraved on Chen Sheng¡¯s body, and his eyes widened in an instant. Li Hengkong¡¯s legs iled randomly on the ground, trying to distance himself from Chen Sheng. ¡°It¡is you. ¡± ¡°Sure enough¡ It¡¯s you!¡± Li Hengkong¡¯s face had lost its previous carefree demeanor. All that remained was endless terror. ¡°You¡¯re the one who attacked the Disciple of Power Sect!¡± At this point, he finally realized, The one hiding the deepest was none other than Chen Sheng, standing right in front of him. How ridiculous, just a few minutes ago, he still thought of Chen Sheng as a fish waiting to be ughtered on the chopping board. Li Hengkong¡¯s legs scraped the ground randomly, continuously retreating in the direction away from Chen Sheng. As he spoke, his voice trembled even more. It seemed that Chen Sheng¡¯s punch earlier hadpletely shattered his courage. ¡°If you kill me, the people of Power Sect won¡¯t let you go.¡± ¡°Zhao Zhenfeng knows about my visit to Quanjiang, but he doesn¡¯t suspect you yet.¡± ¡°Let me go.¡± ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll give you all of Kongming Martial Arts Gym¡¯s resources with both hands. I can also- However¡ From beginning to end, Li Hengkong¡¯s mind had been silently calcting the distance. At this moment, there was already a two-meter gap between him and Chen Sheng. For a martial artist, This distance meant nothing. But if it¡¯s for escaping¡ Li Hengkong slightly raised his head. Seeing that Chen Sheng was still standing in ce and didn¡¯t seem to approach him, His face turned sharp. Bang! Li Hengkong¡¯s leg muscles swelled up instantly. Whoosh- ¨C Water sshed everywhere as Li Hengkong¡¯s body dashed forward. Without any hesitation, Li Hengkong didn¡¯t dare to say anything more, fearing that his unstable breathing would affect his speed. He only wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible. There was no need to frame Chen Sheng now. As long as he truthfully told Zhao Zhenfeng about Chen Sheng¡¯s performance, With the way Power Sect operated, they would undoubtedly send people to capture Chen Sheng, who wouldn¡¯t be able to escape no matter how strong he was! Bang! An airwave apanied by a breaking air sound followed Li Hengkong as he charged forward. But under the threat of the fear of death, the seriously injured Li Hengkong ran at the fastest speed of his life. In the blink of an eye, He had already run hundreds of meters and was continuously approaching Qi Ming¡¯s position. ¡°Ancestor! ¡± Seeing the short figure that broke through the rain curtain and dashed hundreds of meters towards him in the blink of an eye, Qi Ming¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but light up, and Gao Sheng called out. Judging by the figure, it was undoubtedly Li Hengkong. It seemed, He had sessfully killed Chen Sheng. With the biggest obstacle in Quanjiang City removed, Next, all they had to deal with were those insignificant small sects. ¡°Ancestor, what should we do next¡ ¡® Qi Ming shouted towards Li Hengkong who was rushing towards him. The heavy rain continued to fall, and the sound of rain grew louder and louder. It made him involuntarily raise his voice. However, Before he could finish speaking, Whoosh! Li Hengkong¡¯s figure instantly passed him by, heading straight towards the river behind him. Leaving Qi Ming standing in the rain, with his talking posture, looking particrly lonely. Approaching. Very close. Seeing the river getting closer and closer to him, Li Hengkong¡¯s face showed a trace of ecstasy. Step! The river, bearing the massive impact, instantly raised arge spray of water. Li Hengkong¡¯s body stepped directly on the river¡¯s surface and headed towards the distance. Not until now did he dare to look back. ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Seeing that Chen Sheng hadn¡¯t caught up, he couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. As long as he could escape to Haizhou City without any problems and tell Zhao Zhenfeng about it, Chen Sheng would still have to die no matter how strong he was! Thinking this, Bang! His legs exerted force once more. Li Hengkong¡¯s speed increased again. With each step,rge sshes of water erupted from the river¡¯s surface, mixing with the rain falling from the sky and drenching him. However, Not long after he started running, Li Hengkong felt that something was wrong. For some reason, he felt his body bing heavier and heavier. From top to bottom, it seemed as if it were loaded with a tremendous amount of pressure. With every step taken, Li Hengkong had to exert more and more effort to prevent himself from falling into the water. But gradually, The pressure grewrger andrger. What¡¯s going on?! While running, Li Hengkong¡¯s eyes widened in shock and uncertainty. It wasn¡¯t until he looked down at his body that he realized there was nothing wrong with it. On his body, There was nothing but rainwater and clothes. But Li Hengkong could distinctly feel that the pressure on his body was increasing at an extremely fast rate. Finally, Terror rapidly climbed onto Li Hengkong¡¯s face. Whoosh¨C He couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. His body plungedpletely into the river. Once in the water, Li Hengkong frantically moved his only remaining limbs to try to swim to the surface. However, something strange had happened. An endless amount of pressure suddenly transmitted from the water surrounding him, immobilizing himpletely. Gurgle¨C The water flowed through the holes on his face, instantly filling his lungs and throat. In the end, Li Hengkong, who couldn¡¯t struggle anymore, Could only helplessly watch as his body sank deeper and deeper into the river, his consciousness gradually growing blurry.. Chapter 154 - 139: Capability and Profound True Martial Arts Chapter 154: Chapter 139: Capability and Profound True Martial Arts Trantor: 549690339 Riverside. Pouring rain. A curtain of rain fills the sky. Chen Sheng stands in the rain. The rainwater vibrates the air, making a sound as it strikes the ground and the river surface. Right now, to Chen Sheng¡¯s ears, it sounds like a beautiful symphony. He stretches out his palm. Looking at the raindrops thatnd in his palm. Chen Sheng holds his breath and concentrates, his eyespletely focused. ¡°Good.¡± He speaks softly, as if talking to someone else. But there is no one else around. Having said that. He withdraws his hand, letting the rainwater slide between his fingers. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 97 (174)] [Agility: 96 (173)] [Constitution: 107 (183)] [Skill Points: 67] This is Chen Sheng¡¯s current attribute panel. Upgrading to the Profound and True Martial Arts Second Layer, his strength and agility both increased by 20 points. His constitution increased by 25 points. Now Chen Sheng, With only his basic attributes, he is only a step away from breaking 100 points across the board. Moreover, the terrifying power brought by the secondyer of Profound and True Martial Arts is far from over. The turtle shell pattern, which now no longer floats on Chen Sheng¡¯s body surface like it did during the first level, is now engraved on his skin. It no longer appears only when the Profound and True Martial Arts breathing technique is activated. Instead, it constantly provides protection to Chen Sheng, and it will automatically reveal itself when he is attacked. Not only that, The turtle shell pattern now has a new abilitypared to the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts. Counter shock. The previous turtle shell pattern had the function of unloading force, It could disperse the enemy¡¯s power throughout Chen Sheng¡¯s body or even pour it into the ground. But now, While unloading force, The turtle shell pattern will first absorb the enemy¡¯s attack force and return it all. Only the force that exceeds the absorption limit of the turtle shell pattern will truly fall on Chen Sheng¡¯s body and be dispersed by the unloading function. In this way, Chen Sheng¡¯s defensive ability has been elevated to an extremely terrifying realm. Furthermore, he can use the turtle shell pattern to counterattack while defending. Now, even if he encounters an enemy with attributes higher than his own, as long as it is not an overwhelming advantage, Chen Sheng can be said to be in an invincible position. And this, Is still only one of the changes in the secondyer of Profound and True Martial Arts. The bigger change is in another ability. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng once again recalls his breakthrough to the secondyer during his illusion encounter. At that time, his consciousness was gradually fading, and he was about to drown in the illusion. It seemed as it someone whispered something in his ear. At that time, Chen Sheng almost had to concentrate all of his remaining attention to barely make out what the other person was saying. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be scared.¡± ¡°ept them.¡± ¡°Now, they are friends.¡± Friends? Who are friends? Chen Sheng immediately realized that the other person was probably talking about the surrounding water flow. True or false, At that time, the powerless Chen Sheng seemed to have no choice but to believe the other person. He immediately gave up resistance. He let the water flowpress his body and pour into his lungs. At first, The intense suffocation caused Chen Sheng to instinctively want to resist. Fortunately, he forced himself to restrain and let the water flow do as it pleased. Thus, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyespletely sank into darkness. But soon, In the darkness, a deep blue light spot appeared. The light spot quickly approached, erged, and enveloped Chen Sheng. After that, Chen Sheng woke up from hisa. As soon as he woke up, he realized something was wrong. The world was very noisy. The raindrops that fell from the sky seemed to be conveying some kind of information to him. Vaguely, Chen Sheng seemed to be able to feel the consciousness and emotions of the surrounding water flow. They were cheering and jumping for joy. d that they had a new friend. This kind of experience, Was also quite novel for Chen Sheng. During the time when Li Hengkong and Qi Ming arrived, He had been studying the new changes in this ability. The result was quite surprising. When he broke through the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng¡¯s affinity for water greatly increased. He could breathe underwater, sense humidity, and have his body attributes slightly increased in a humid environment. This could only be considered as a small addition to the breakthrough of the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts, which was better than nothing. But now, This ability, like the turtle shell pattern, can bring extremely terrifying changes to Chen Sheng¡¯s strength. First, It was about controlling water flow. Water, beneficial to all things, can be soft or hard. For example¡ water droplets can actively absorb the free-flowing Qi in the environment, constantly increasing their own mass and weight. As well as, increasing the pressure of the water flow, making it able to bind enemies. Still, in a short time, gathering the moisture in the air, increasing the environmental humidity, and greatly enhancing Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes. Such as heavy rain, which can directly increase Chen Sheng¡¯s body attributes by one-third. On Chen Sheng¡¯s attribute panel, the average of 170 terrifying attributes were acquired through activating the two breathing states and the enhancement brought by heavy rain on his body. Such a terrifying property. Chen Sheng had to be extra careful in every action he took. Otherwise, it would cause extensive damage to the surrounding environment. Just like earlier, when he shed fists with Li Hengkong. Chen Sheng merely used a force simr to that of tapping fists and directly shattered the old man¡¯s arm. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t pursue Li Hengkong but chose to ask the river water and raindrops for help. He feared not controlling his strength well enough. Li Hengkong would turn into a flesh and blood firework and explode on the spot. ¡°Hoo- ¨C ¡± Thinking of this, Chen Sheng slowly exited the breathing state. It was difficult to control his body in that state just now. He moved his hands and feet a bit on the spot. Only then did he take a step and head towards the riverside. ¡°Chen¡..Chen Sheng?!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not dead?!¡± As he reached the halfway point, A horrified scream suddenly came from not far away. It was Qi Ming, whose face was full of confusion andpletely unaware of what had happened. The ancestor had just left him and ran towards the river alone. Before he could figure out what had happened, He saw a figure slowlying out of the rain curtain. It was Chen Sheng, whom he thought had already died. In surprise, Qi Ming let out a scream. But as soon as the words were spoken, Qi Ming quickly reacted to the situation. The ancestor was gone. Leaving him alone to deal with Chen Sheng? And a Chen Sheng without even a single scratch on his body? Although he didn¡¯t know why the ancestor ran to the river, Qi Ming¡¯s heart already had a vague guess. But this guess was too horrifying; he didn¡¯t dare think about it in detail. However, when facing Chen Sheng, There was no need to think. Run! so, Bang! A muffled sound as Qi Ming¡¯s figure dashed toward another direction. At the same time, He took out his phone, which had already been soaked by the rain. Fortunately, modern phones are waterproof. Otherwise, they would malfunction. Without hesitation, Qi Ming prepared to make a call to the Martial Arts Association. With the strength demonstrated by Chen Sheng, No one would believe that he wasn¡¯t the killer of the Disciple of the Power Sect! However, Thump! Qi Ming had only taken a few steps before, He fell on his knees. With a snap, The phone also fell to the ground. No one pressed the dial button. ¡°What¡.what¡¯s going on?!¡± Qi Ming¡¯s face was full of shock, feeling as if a weight of ten thousand pounds was pressing down on his body and continuing to increase. Causing him to only be able to kneel on the ground, his body bending towards the ground. But Chen Sheng was still not far away, And there were no people around in the surroundings. Such a bizarre scene made his inner fear grow rapidly. Whoosh! Qi Ming¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. He recalled the scene of Li Hengkong running on the river surface and diving into the water. At that time, he thought Li Hengkong wanted to swim away. But now¡ experiencing this pressure personally, Qi Ming seemed to understand something. His inner fear was growing incessantly. The expression on Qi Ming¡¯s face gradually became hazy. The sound of Chen Sheng¡¯s footsteps was getting closer and closer. The thick and strong green tendons on Qi Ming¡¯s neck burst out in an instant. He struggled desperately to stand up, But against the pressure brought by the water droplets, it was useless. ¡°Why are you so strong?!!!¡± Qi Ming looked down at the ground beneath him, listening to the ever-approaching footsteps. ¡°Why¨C¡± His eyes bloodshot, he suddenly roared. Bang! The sound abruptly stopped. In midair, a sky full of blood suddenly burst open. ¡°So annoying.¡± Chen Sheng, with no expression on his face, stepped over Qi Ming and walked slowly towards the riverside. He reached out his hand, Allowing the rainwater to wash away the blood in his palm. Behind him, A thump, The headless body slowly fell to the ground.. Chapter 155 - 155: 140: Interrogation and an Old Friend’s Visit Chapter 155 - 155: 140: Interrogation and an Old Friend¡¯s Visit Trantor: 549690339 Riverside. Chen Sheng stood quietly, looking at the concealed waves of the river in front of him. The river water constantly washed toward the shore, soaking his feet. Under the surface of the river, a faint shadow lingered. Whoosh- Apanied by another rush of river water. Li Hengkong, with his arms severed, was carried by the river water to Chen Sheng¡¯s feet. Chen Sheng had specifically instructed not to kill Li Hengkong. Therefore, the other party was only in a state of unconsciousness at the moment. p. Chen Sheng casually grasped Li Hengkong¡¯s skull and lifted him directly from the ground. After propping up his body, Chen Sheng did not let go of his hand. With Li Hengkong¡¯s terrifying bodily attributes, simply having his arms severed and being suffocated wasn¡¯t enough to keep him unconscious for so long. The other party was faking it. As Chen Sheng¡¯s palm tightened, Crack¡ Crack. Pitiful cries of bones unable to bear the pressure came from within the skull. Whoosh! Li Hengkong¡¯s eyes opened suddenly. He looked at Chen Sheng, a trace of fear in his eyes, and said with a trembling voice, ¡°What do you want to know?¡± At this point. Li Hengkong fully understood his situation. He was at the mercy of others. Chen Sheng did not kill him directly, probably because he needed something from him. He didn¡¯t want to die. To survive, he had to submit to Chen Sheng first, and then make other ns. Hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s expression was indifferent. In the following period, With the help of the water flow, Chen Sheng tortured Li Hengkong and extracted the information he wanted from his mouth. As for the Holy Sect, Li Hengkong didn¡¯t know much about it. Even the name of the Holy Sect was unknown to him until he heard about the Martial Arts Conference incident. The breathing techniques he possessed were obtained, during the years when Kongming Boxing Club was at its most powerful, through various dirty means from other martial arts sects. Very few people knew about this matter, and most were silenced by Li Hengkong on the spot. As for why he began to collect breathing techniques. ording to Li Hengkong, it was because of a wandering Taoist. The incident happened in the 40th year of Li Hengkong¡¯s tenure as the Master of the Kongming Boxing Club. At that time, Kongming Boxing Club was thergest martial arts school in Haizhou City, with the most disciples. Even the local nobles in Haizhou City frequently sought help from Li Hengkong. For a time, he was unparalleled. But one day. A wandering Taoist suddenly appeared, asking for breathing techniques from the Kongming Martial Arts Gym. Even though it wasn¡¯t the Tide Rising Period back then, The breathing techniques were still secret arts of the sect, and they couldn¡¯t be randomly given to others. The disciples present at the scene wanted to drive this Taoist away on the spot. However , All the disciples couldn¡¯t match this Taoist. Until finally, when Li Hengkong, who was out dealing with business, received the news and returned to the martial arts gym. The two fought in a ce where there were no outsiders. Nobody knew who won or lost the battle. But Li Hengkong told Chen Sheng. That Taoist, With just one finger, Had almost killed Li Hengkong, who was then considered the number one person in Haizhou City. After that, The Taoist sessfully obtained the breathing technique. As a reward, he informed Li Hengkong about the Tide Rising Period, the Qi-sensors, and the Heavenly People. Not long after that, Li Hengkong, using various means, collected arge number of breathing techniques, resigned from his position as master, hid in the mountain forests to cultivate his mind and body while studying the breathing techniques of various sects. All to, Enhance his strength at the fastest speed when the Tide Rising Period arrived. However, On the first day he left the mountain, he met Chen Sheng. It was a tragedy. At this moment, With a thud, Li Hengkong¡¯s corpse slumped lifelessly on the ground. Through the five bloody holes on top of his skull, one could vaguely see the red and white substances inside. His eves were wide ooen. seeminglv unaware that Chen Shenz would kill him so decisively. Not getting any information about the Holy Sect was somewhat disappointing for Chen Sheng. Fortunately, he did note away empty-handed. The dozen or so breathing techniques that Li Hengkong possessed, Chen Sheng had already obtained them all. Although these were just ordinary breathing techniques, not as powerful as the Profound and True Martial Arts. But if Chen Sheng achieved perfection in the Profound and True Martial Arts, and did not obtain breathing techniques of the same level, At least he could use these breathing techniques to constantly stack attributes. However, After dealing with the two from the Kongming Boxing Club, Chen Sheng¡¯s brow was still furrowed, unable to shake off the irritation. These two were just small fry. The real urgency is Zhao Zhenfeng, who is far away in Haizhou City. Li Hengkong and Qi Ming are dead. Chen Sheng will inevitably be suspected. After all, Quanjiang City is only so big. Compared to a mysterious strong person from who knows where, he, as the Martial Arts Conference champion, is obviously more suspicious. Fortunately, Chen Sheng still has other options. The Power Sect, though strong, is not the head of the Martial Arts Association in China. If it reallyes down to it¡ Thinking of this, Chen Sheng turns around and prepares to leave. Behind him, the river water continuously rushes to the shore, dragging the two corpses on the ground into the river. Meanwhile, the scattered flesh and limbs on the ground are also washed into the river by the rain. This ability doese in handy for cleaning up. Chen Sheng thinks so. Swish! His figure disappears instantly. Three minutester, In the alley at the entrance of Yinghui Grocery Store, Chen Sheng hangs up the phone. On the other end of the call is Xu Ying. She is still wandering around Quanjiang City with Zhou Li, fearing that staying in one ce for too long would expose their whereabouts. Through the phone, Chen Sheng tells Xu Ying to go directly to the Wu¡¯an Bureau in Jincheng District. As for Chen Sheng himself, he intends to return to the grocery store, pack up, and move to the Wu¡¯an Bureau as well. The Wu¡¯an Bureau is an official department. Chen Sheng¡¯s master, Li Chenghu, is the captain of the Jincheng District Wu¡¯an Bureau. Even if it¡¯s just a local branch, it¡¯s still part of the government. Even if the Power Sect is influential, they would still need a cause to take Chen Sheng away from the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Without sufficient evidence beforehand, they wouldn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Chen Sheng is quite certain that, there is no overt evidence of his killing those two from the Kongming Boxing Club. With that thought, Chen Sheng puts his phone in his pocket and quickly walks towards the grocery store. However , the deeper Chen Sheng goes into the alley, the more serious his expression. Even his footsteps involuntarily slow down. His body muscles are constantly tense. He senses an aura, and it¡¯s not that of an ordinary person. With a cautious expression, Chen Sheng keeps moving forward. Soon, he stops about ten meters away from the grocery store entrance, where arge ck umbre catches his eye. Following that, a line of text pops up in front of him. [Unable to detect] What¡¯s going on? Chen Sheng¡¯s face turns serious. Since obtaining the Eye of True View, he has never encountered such a situation. He originally thought that having all attributes as question marks, like Zhao Zhenfeng, was already an outrageous thing. But now, there¡¯s someone he can¡¯t even detect? He must escape. Chen Sheng frowns with a decision in his heart. Considering that he can¡¯t even sense the other party¡¯s attribute panel, it must be a terrifying existence. Without any hesitation, Chen Sheng immediately prepares to break out. But at this moment, perhaps sensing someone nearby, the ck umbre gradually lowers. As the umbre master closes the umbre, they see Chen Sheng, who is not far away and about to turn and flee. Their eyes, instantly meet. The moment he sees the umbre master, Chen Sheng stops in his tracks. His face shows astonishment. At the same time, the umbre master also reveals a gentle smile. Even though Chen Sheng has changed greatly in height and physique since thest time they met, he still recognizes him at a nce. ¡°Long time no see,¡± ¡°Brother Chen..¡± Chapter 156 - 156: 141: Conversation and Power Sect’s Actions Chapter 156 - 156: 141: Conversation and Power Sect¡¯s Actions Trantor: 549690339 In the heavy rain. Two people face each other. ¡°Shen Zi Ming?¡± ¡°How could you¡..¡± Chen Sheng frowns, puzzled. In the conversation. His muscles remain tense and unrxed. Although the other person is someone he once knew. But at this sensitive time. Chen Sheng can¡¯t help but be alert when the other person suddenly appears. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Shen Zi Ming nods with a smile. However, After saying that, The scene Shen Zi Ming imagined, friends meeting and feeling close, did not appear. Chen Sheng just stood there, looking at him with a wary face. Seeing this, Shen Zi Ming did not show much surprise. He pondered for two seconds before speaking again. ¡°Mandarin oranges?¡± ¡°Money in the graveyard?¡± ¡°Ferrero?¡± Shen Zi Ming spoke of some things that only he and Chen Sheng would know. Hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s face rxed slightly. At least he can be sure that the person in front of him is undoubtedly Shen Zi Ming. However, The fact that Shen Zi Ming cannot check attributes always made him a little uneasy. ¡°Is Old Zhou at home?¡± Realizing the atmosphere was a bit tense, Shen Zi Ming quickly changes the topic. He nced inside the grocery store. Inside was dark and seemed to be empty. Shen Zi Ming and Zhou Li were old acquaintances. Chen Sheng¡¯s acquaintance with Zhou Li was also introduced by him. ¡°He¡¯s not here right now because of some business.¡± Chen Sheng shook his head and continued to ask. ¡°How¡¯s your body doing now?¡± Having not seen each other for just half a month, some kind of magical change seems to have taken ce in the other person. He still remembered, Thest time they met, Shen Zi Ming was seriously ill and was also weakened by Mr. Hai¡¯s torment. Leaving Quanjiang City was to find a cure for the familial gic disease. Now, Although Shen Zi Ming¡¯s face still looks a little pale, it is obviously much better than before. And on him, there was also an indescribable air. ¡°Would you like to go inside and talk?¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite cold.¡± Seeing that the conversation might not end soon. Shen Zi Ming pointed to the house. He put away his umbre, rubbed his shoulders, and exhaled a white mist from his mouth. Chen Sheng noticed that the other person¡¯s body was slightly trembling. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He was silent for two seconds. Only then did he walk to Shen Zi Ming¡¯s side and open the ss door of the grocery store. Shen Zi Ming put the umbre at the entrance of the grocery store, followed Chen Sheng into the house. Both of them went to the backyard and entered Chen Sheng¡¯s room. ¡°Whew.¡± Standing at the door, Shen Zi Ming shakes off the droplets on his clothes. Chen Sheng, however, went straight to the tea table and sat down. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯ve changed a lot in the past half-month.¡± Shen Zi Ming noticed that. Chen Sheng clearly didn¡¯t use an umbre, but there was no trace of wetness on him. ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot too.¡± Chen Sheng sat on the bench, his eyes drooping. He believes that Shen Zi Ming¡¯s sudden visit is not for catching up. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about business first.¡¯ Upon hearing this, Shen Zi Ming smiled slightly. He didn¡¯t continue the conversation immediately. Only when the water stopped dripping from his body did he stride into the room. ¡°Brother Chen, have you dealt with the people of Kongming Boxing Club?¡± As soon as Shen Zi Ming sat down, the first thing he mentioned caused Chen Sheng¡¯s movement to freeze instantly. He raised his head and stared at Shen Zi Ming. A dangerous aura emanated from him. ¡°Don¡¯t get excited.¡± Seeing this, Shen Zi Ming hurriedly raised his hand to suppress it, signaling Chen Sheng to be calm. ¡°I came to find you to solve this matter in the first ce.¡± Hmm? Ellen Dileng S eyet-nuvvs Ld1SeU. ¡°Are you sure you can solve it?¡± Shen Zi Ming nodded with a smile. ¡°Very sure.¡± Night. Haizhou City. Lijing Hotel¡¯s eighteenth floor, the presidential suite. Zhao Zhenfeng and another person did not n to stay in Fuhai Province for long. They only need to be responsible for monitoring the martial arts sects in Fuhai Province and preventing any idents from Power Sect¡¯s actions in the province¡¯s martial arts world. Once the specific changes are implemented, they can return to the Power Sect, and their disciples will take over the matters here. Zhao Zhenfeng, who had just finished practicing, leaped up from the empty ground in the center of the room, ready to take a bath in the bathroom. But at this moment, Bang, bang, bang! His room door was suddenly knocked on. The sound was frantic and hurried, Making Zhao Zhenfeng frown deeply. Without even using his senses to probe, he knew who was knocking on the door. In the entire Haizhou City, Only one person could enter this hotel¡¯s eighteenth floor and dared to knock on his door like this. ¡°The door is unlocked!¡± Zhao Zhenfeng said coldly, a sharp light shing in his eyes. Dammit, What an idiot. Just thinking that he would have to stay with this idiot in Haizhou City for a few more days made him feel extremely irritated. As soon as his words fell, The room door was pushed open with a ng, A figure rushed into the room and instantly stood before Zhao Zhenfeng. ¡°Senior Brother! ! ¡± ¡°Those two, I can¡¯t get in touch with them!¡± Xiang Zeng grabbed Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s arm, looking anxious. ¡°Let go.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng didn¡¯t care about the content of Xiang Zeng¡¯s words, but stared at him coldly. Perhaps feeling the chill, Xiang Zeng¡¯s head shrank and he let go of Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s hand immediately, Even with an anxious look on his face, he could only lower his head and stand in ce, waiting for Zhao Zhenfeng to speak. ¡°Speak.¡¯ It wasn¡¯t until Zhao Zhenfeng sat down beside the table that he allowed Xiang Zeng to speak again. ¡°Those two, I can¡¯t get in touch with them!¡± Xiang Zeng repeated it once more, ¡°The two who went to Quanjiang!¡± ¡°They said they were going to find Chen Sheng and help me find the murderer.¡± ¡°But starting this afternoon, I can¡¯t get in touch with them!¡± ¡°They must have been killed by Chen Sheng!¡± ¡°Chen Sheng is the attacker who assaulted me!!¡± While speaking, Xiang Zeng¡¯s expression was exaggerated, sometimes anxious and sometimes fierce, The moment he mentioned Chen Sheng, killing intent surged on his face, as if he was extremely certain that Chen Sheng was the murderer. He was even turning around on the spot, Such performance Really seemed no different from an imbecile. The two from Kongming Boxing Club? Zhao Zhenfeng furrowed his brows, He didn¡¯t say anything about looking for someone, No matter if it was Li Hengkong or Qi Ming, they were powerful martial artists who would not lose contact for no reason. Although their purpose in going to Quanjiang was to inform the martial arts sects there, Their main goal, Was to deal with the Martial Arts Conference champion named Chen Sheng. As soon as they arrived in Quanjiang, they would definitely deal with the Eagle Body Sect first to avoid news leak. But now, Xiang Zeng imed that he had not been able to contact the two since the afternoon, To think that there was nearly a six-hour gap between the afternoon and the present, Could it be¡.. A cold light shed in Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes. Without hesitation, he immediately picked up his phone and dialed Zhou Qiming¡¯s number. ¡°Assistant Zhou,¡± ¡°I¡¯m giving you half an hour to contact the Wu¡¯an Bureau and Martial Arts Association in Quanjiang City, and immediately report Chen Sheng of Eagle Body Sect¡¯s whereabouts.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t find him,¡± ¡°Immediately issue a warrant.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng spoke decisively, with an unquestionable force, Xiang Zeng being attacked, turned into an idiot, or even killed, he didn¡¯t care, He cared about the dignity of the Power Sect, Now, Li Hengkong and Qi Ming had said just in the morning that they were going to trouble Chen Sheng, In the afternoon, they disappeared directly, With Chen Sheng¡¯s suspiciousness significantly increased, Although it was not a hundred percent certain that he was the murderer, But the Power Sect always acted on suspecting guilt, Whether it was him or not, they would arrest him first and ask questionster. Having said that, Zhao Zhenfeng immediately hung up the phone. ¡°Get back to your room,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get in my way.¡± Looking at Xiang Zeng in front of him, he frowned and scolded, Not getting any result, Xiang Zeng was reluctant to leave, However, under Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s fierce gaze, he could only droop his shoulders and obediently walk towards the door, ¡°Close the door¡± ¡°Oh¡± Xiang Zeng responded reluctantly and was about to walk out the door with his hand on the doorknob. But in the next second, Bang, Not noticing the figure that suddenly appeared at the door, Xiang Zeng crashed into it, The impact made him step back and almost fell to the floor, Fortunately, the person reached out to steady him on time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry,¡± ¡°Are you alright?¡± Apologetic words rang in his ears, His face full of surprise, Xiang Zeng looked up, What greeted his eyes was a gentle smile.. Chapter 157 - 157: 142: Agreement and Confrontation Chapter 157 - 157: 142: Agreement and Confrontation Trantor: 549690339 The man standing in front of Xiang Zeng was wearing a white shirt and suit pants. He wore gold-framed sses on his face, giving him a refined appearance. ¡°You¡.¡± A look of confusion shed across Xiang Zeng¡¯s face. He felt a slight familiarity with this face. However, due to the head injury, he lost most of his memory. For a moment, Xiang Zeng couldn¡¯t recall who the person in front of him was. He held his head, trying desperately to remember. At that moment, Zhao Zhenfeng in the room also turned his gaze to the door. When the figure of the neer entered his sight, his face showed a moment of surprise. Then, his expression quickly darkened. ¡°You are¡ Shen Ziming? ¡°The new disciple of old Sun Yihe?¡± Zhao Zhenfeng frowned and said. Sun Yihe, the Sect Leader of the Yihe Gate and amittee member of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. He and Sect Master Xiang Li of the Power Sect do not get along. If Xiang Li had to describe him with one sentence, it would be that he is the most loyal dog of the President of the Martial Arts Association, Li Wuji. Now, themittee members of the Martial Arts Association were mostly promoted by Li Wuji himself. Even the sects they belong to are the same. Only Sun Yihe was an exception. He and Li Wuji were friends when they were young, and they had a brotherly rtionship. When Li Wuji obtained the official permission to establish the Martial Arts Association and prepared to make great achievements, Sun Yihe joined him to help Li Wuji expand the Martial Arts Association step by step. Last time at the meeting, the old man who openly insulted Xiang Li as a dog was Sun Yihe. ¡°Nice to see you, Brother Zhao.¡± After Zhao Zhenfeng spoke, Shen Ziming also looked at him. He walked past the stunned Xiang Zeng and entered the room with a smile. ¡°Thest time we met, it was at the initiation ceremony.¡± ¡°I have long heard of Zhao Zhenfeng from the Power Sect¡¡± Just as Shen Ziming took a step, he saw Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s gaze congeal, and he flicked his finger. Whoosh! A white shadow shed before his eyes. Apanied by the breaking air sound. Bang! The ceramic tea tray was embedded in the ground in front of Shen Ziming¡¯s foot without any damage. This was evidence of Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s control over his strength. ¡°I have not allowed you to enter my room.¡± ¡°Dirty things.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng coldly stared at Shen Ziming, showing no courtesy in his words. Unconcealed hostility emanated from him. Like a fierce beast, it pounced on Shen Ziming, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin. However, Shen Ziming just chuckled, seemingly unperturbed by the other¡¯s threat. It was quite normal for the disciples of Yihe Gate and the Power Sect to encounter each other like this. The Power Sect is now thergest and most powerful of the many sects in the Martial Arts Association. However, Power Sect also made a lot of enemies. Members of other sects in the Martial Arts Association were like hungry beasts, staring at the Power Sect. As long as the Power Sect showed the slightest weakness, these beasts would swarm and tear them to shreds and swallow them up. When facing weak martial artists from Fuhai Province, Zhao Zhenfeng remained polite, showing thepassion of a strong person towards a weaker one. However, when facing Shen Ziming, a fellow disciple from themittee, his words and actions, were nothing but the simplest and most direct tyranny and domineering. Unfortunately, Facing Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s undisguised hostility, Shen Ziming showed no fear. ¡°Brother Zhao, what do you mean by this?¡± He maintained his smile, stepped over the tea tray in front of him, and slowly approached Zhao Zhenfeng. Zhao Zhenfeng sat in his chair, not moving. However, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense. It was to the point that Xiang Zeng, who was standing by the door and had just remembered who Shen Ziming was, shrank back and dared not make a sound. ¡°I came here this time to carry out my master¡¯s orders and take care of some business.¡¯ ¡°By the way¡ I wanted to fulfill the duty of mutual supervision among themittee members. Brother Zhao wouldn¡¯t mind, right?¡± Shen Ziming spoke on his own. When he reached the tea table, he even expertly moved a chair and sat down. From beginning to end, Zhao Zhenfeng did not speak again. Thump, thump, thump. His eyes drooping, Zhao Zhenfeng tapped his fingertips on the tabletop at a slow rhythm. Fine cracks spread out from the points where his fingers fell, continuously widening. ¡°Huh?¡± This scene was naturally seen by Shen Ziming. He looked at Zhao Zhenfeng, his face showing some astonishment. ¡°Brother Zhao.¡± ¡°What are you staring at?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it your job to serve me tea?¡± Crack! Wood chips sttered. On the tabletop, a finger-sized crater appeared, with visible cracks spreading outwards. ¡°If someone else finds out, they might think that Power Sect has be so overbearing that they don¡¯t even care about Yihe Gate, the sect affiliated with the Association¡¯s Committee.¡± ¡°Right?¡± Shen Ziming¡¯s smile grew even more radiant. His words carried hidden implications. As his voice fell. The sharp momentum slowly dissipated. Even though Zhao Zhenfeng really wanted to punch Shen Ziming to death. He knew that thetter was not a minor character like Chen Sheng from Eagle Body Sect, but a disciple of the Association¡¯s Committee. If something happens here. It would be extremely detrimental to Power Sect and Master Xiang Li. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°If not, get lost.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng snorted coldly, still having no intention of serving tea. ¡°Of course, I have something.¡± ¡°This afternoon, I went to the Martial Arts Association and heard some bad news.¡± Seeing Zhao Zhenfeng unmoved. Shen Ziming didn¡¯t mind, he directly bypassed the other party, picked up the teapot on the table, and started to pour water. ¡°President Li has tasked manymittee members with managing the martial arts world in various parts of China, to support local martial artists and unite their strength, in case the Heavenly Persons awaken in the near future.¡± ¡°But I heard that Power Sect has directly taken control of the spirit medicine resources of most martial arts sects in Fuhai Province.¡± ¡°With such actions, isn¡¯t Power Sect afraid of affecting the stability of Fuhai Province¡¯s martial arts world?¡± ¡°If this leads to any problems, can you, Power Sect, handle it?¡± As he spoke. He stared at Zhao Zhenfeng with a solemn expression. ¡°Of course we can handle it.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng unyieldingly met Shen Ziming¡¯s gaze, raising his head slightly. ¡°As I said before.¡± ¡°The weak are just cannon fodder in front of Heavenly Persons.¡± ¡°Instead of wasting resources on them, it¡¯s better to cultivate martial artists with talent.¡± ¡°Moreover, even though we, Power Sect, have taken control of resources of most martial arts sects, we have not taken a single penny for ourselves. For the ss A martial arts halls that have passed the test, we even provide additional resources and open up the martial arts library of Power Sect.¡± At this point. Zhao Zhenfeng nced at the teapot filled with water, which was ced on the heating te. He reached out and turned off the heating te directly. ¡°As for those lowly martial arts sects, we didn¡¯t block their waypletely.¡± ¡°As long as they can prove their strength, they can also qualify to be affiliated with Power Sect.¡¯ ¡°Such action, you could say it¡¯s radical.¡± ¡°But if you say there¡¯s a problem.¡± ¡°I disagree.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng slowly stood up and walked towards the bathroom. ¡°Have you finished asking?¡± ¡°If you have, you can get lost.¡± It seemed like an inquiry. But obviously, even if Shen Ziming still had questions, Zhao Zhenfeng no longer intended to listen. Facing Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s tant disgust, Shen Ziming didn¡¯t mind at all. He slowly stood up and walked towards the door. As he passed by the bathroom. He paused his footsteps as if remembering something. ¡°By the way, Brother Zhao.¡± ¡°In recent times, I will be living next door to you.¡± ¡°I will constantly pay attention to the various measures Power Sect takes in Fuhai Province and report them to my Master one by one.¡± ¡°I hope Brother Zhao, be cautious in your words and actions.¡± Having said that. Without waiting for Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s response. Shen Ziming smiled and nodded at Xiang Zeng, then walked straight out of the room. Inside the bathroom. Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s face was extremely gloomy. Murderous intent churned in his eyes. ¡°Just a mere hybrid¡¡± Committee members of the Martial Arts Association have the responsibility to supervise and report each other¡¯s wrongdoings. With Shen Ziming present. At least on the surface, Power Sect¡¯s actions must be restrained. Xiang Li was both a teacher and father figure to Zhao Zhenfeng. Power Sect was like a family to him as well. Zhao Zhenfeng did not want his mistakes to cause any negative impact on Power Sect or Xiang Li.. Chapter 158 - 158: 143: Leisure and the New Spirit Seed Chapter 158 - 158: 143: Leisure and the New Spirit Seed Trantor: 549690339 Night. Port District, Yinghui Grocery Store. ¡°Hoo¡ª¡± Chen Sheng, who had finished working out, stood up from the ground. He summoned the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 97] [Agility: 96] [Constitution: 106] [Skill Points: 68] Chen Sheng¡¯s evening training had increased his strength and agility by five points each. His constitution had increased by six points. Now that the spirit medicine was exhausted, the effect of training had suddenly dropped a lot. Although such an increase was already considerablepared to one or two days ago. But when thinking about how he could have achieved more, Chen Sheng felt as ufortable as losing money. He looked at the spiritual medicine field on the other side of the courtyard. Under the bright moonlight, it could be clearly seen that the cracks in the soil were faintly shimmering with fluorescence. That was the spirit seed slowly releasing Qi, enhancing the life essence of the surrounding herbs. Seeds that had just been nted for a day were now starting to sprout, and their speed could not be considered slow. But no matter how fast. It would take at least three days for the spirit medicine to fully mature. Fortunately, Chen Sheng had killed Li Hengkong today, and it was not without gain. The old man had told Chen Sheng his hiding ce before he died. He must have relied on a substantial supply of spirit medicine to practice so many breathing techniques in just over half a year. Probably tomorrow, Chen Sheng would be able to obtain a batch of spirit medicine smoothly. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng went into the bathroom to take a shower. Zhou Li and Xu Ying were still at the Wu¡¯an Bureau. Although Shen Ziming said in the afternoon conversation that he was willing to help with the Power Sect, at least he could guarantee that they would not mess around without evidence. However, Chen Sheng never liked to pin his hopes on others. He nned to wait for some time, confirm the safety, and then let the two of them return. Soon, After taking a shower, Chen Sheng returned to his room. As hey on the bed, He stared at the ceiling, his eyes somewhat dazed. ¡°Shen Ziming¡¡± Compared to when Chen Sheng started practicing martial arts, now upon meeting Shen Ziming again, the mystery surrounding him had not diminished but had be even stronger. Chen Sheng really wanted to know why his Eye of True View could not see Shen Ziming¡¯s attribute panel. How did the other party be a disciple of the Association¡¯s headquartersmittee in less than half a month and smoothly get rid of the status of a wanted criminal? As well as the hereditary disease of his family that he could never cure. Unfortunately, In the afternoon conversation, Shen Ziming, as always, had not revealed much about himself to Chen Sheng. However, the two had already agreed. Shen Ziming would return to Haizhou City tonight to deal with the Power Sect. The next day, he woulde back and meet Chen Sheng again. At that time, there would naturally be an opportunity to ask questions. With this thought. Chen Sheng turned off the light and closed his eyes. Sleepiness gradually spread in his mind. Soon, a long and steady breathing sound was heard in the dim and quiet room. The next day. At the break of dawn, Chen Sheng woke up on time. Now that Zhou Li and Xu Ying were not around, he had to take care of breakfast on his own. He opened the door to his room. The cold wind from outside rushed straight in. But Chen Sheng was unfazed. He went to the washbasin, and after washing up, he put on his clothes and went straight out the door. Coming out of the alley entrance, standing on the deste street and taking a deep breath, Chen Sheng said, ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± Arge amount of air was drawn into his body, and he closed his eyes with a look of intoxication on his face. The fresh morning air was always so refreshing. Afterward, He then took a leisurely walk in the direction of the breakfast shop. The brief rxed time Made Chen Sheng feel quitefortable. Not long ago, when Chen Sheng first came into contact with the Sealed Land of Heavenly People under Zhou Family Vige¡¯s waterfall, Now, as his strength increased day by day, He became more and more aware of the power of the ancient humans buried under the waterfall at that time, which still seemed terrifying to remember. If it had not been for the seemingck of malice from those ancient humans towards him, who was also a human, Maybe at that time, Chen Sheng would have died directly in that cave. Yet, such terrifying power radiated only from the corpses of ancient humans that died tens of thousands of years ago. It¡¯s hard to imagine how strong these people were when they were alive. Even with the sacrifice of so many powerful ancient humans. they could harely seal the Heavenly Person. They couldn¡¯t even kill him. Heavenly Person¡ what kind of existence could it be? Moreover, there are threats lurking in the dark, like the Holy Sect. Therefore, During that time, Chen Sheng¡¯s heart had a persistent sense of urgency he couldn¡¯t escape Until now, Basking in the early morning sun and looking at the slightly deste streets around him. He breathes in the fresh air. Only then could Chen Sheng¡¯s mind slightly rx. He arrives at the breakfast shop. Quite a few people are already gathered at the entrance, waiting in line to buy breakfast. Most of them are stallholders at the nearby vegetable market. ¡°Boss, please give me¡¡± After waiting for about three to five minutes, it was finally Chen Sheng¡¯s turn. Once the boss finished packing, Chen Sheng carried his breakfast and walked back the way he came. He returned to the grocery store. Immediately after finishing his breakfast, Chen Sheng stood in the empty space in the courtyard. The brief rxation made him feel much happier. But Chen Sheng knew very well. To live a leisurely life for a long time, He must possess enough strength to eliminate any threats that would try to disturb his life. With this in mind, Chen Sheng closed his eyes. Then, he opened them again, And his gaze became firm once more. Without hesitation, He quickly assumed the training stance for Profound and True Martial Arts. Not long after, In the early morning grocery store, The sound of heavy drum-like heartbeats echoed again, lingering in the air above the courtyard. Time passed swiftly. Before he knew it, It was already noon. Chen Sheng, who had maintained his training posture for several hours, jumped up from the ground and exercised his body. Instantly, The sound of crackling explosions, like frying beans, rang out from all parts of his body. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 103] [Agility: 102] [Constitution: 113] [Skill Points: 87] Chen Sheng¡¯s attributes had finally broken through the 100 -point mark. It would only take Chen Sheng about three days to upgrade Profound and True Martial Arts to the thirdyer. Compared to other martial artists, this is an astounding increase in speed. But Chen Sheng is far from satisfied. With this in mind, He picked up the phone and called Shen Ziming, asking when they could meet. The next second, Ding-ling-ling- The phone rang outside the grocery store. With the sound of the ss door being pushed open, The ringing grew louder. Chen Sheng hung up the call. Right after, A figure carrying a paper bag entered the backyard. Shen Ziming, with a smile, lifted the paper bag in his hand and shook it. ¡°Brother Chen, your harvest this time is not small.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up. He directly took the paper bag from Shen Ziming¡¯s hands, pulling out the contents. It was two wooden boxes, identical in style to the wooden boxes used for storing spiritual medicine at the Martial Arts Association. Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t wait to open them. The next second, A lush green reflected in his eyes. Inside the wooden box was a palm-sized tree root. And the surface of the tree root was covered with a denseyer of green fluorescence. It was far denser than the stone spirit seed that Chen Sheng had initially obtained, by countless times.. Chapter 159 - 159: 144 Conversation and Harvesting a Lot Chapter 159 - 159: 144 Conversation and Harvesting a Lot Trantor: 549690339 Looking at the tree root in front of him, shimmering with a vibrant spiritual light. An expression of delight appeared on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Without any hesitation, he immediately took the spirit seed to the front of the spiritual medicine field. Leaning over, Chen Sheng again dug up the spot where he had previously ced the stone spirit seed and put the new spirit seed in. Then, He squatted beside the field, watching the spiritual light from the tree root spirit seed continue to prate into the cracks in the soil around it. Even the stone spirit seed that was originally full of cracks was tinted with this strong spiritual light, no longer appearing dull as before. ¡°This Spirit Seed is of a high-quality, with such a thick release of spiritual light. I¡¯m afraid that by tomorrow, it will be able to sprout a new batch of spiritual medicine at the verytest.¡± At this time, Zi Ming also walked over and squatted beside Chen Sheng. His gaze swept across the small 4 or 5 square meter spiritual field in front of him. ¡°Brother Chen, I think we can further expand this spiritual field.¡± Zi Ming pointed to the tree root spirit seed underground. In mere moments, Its aura had practically covered the entire spiritual field. By night, It would be enough to illuminate the entire backyard without any need for amp. Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded, before turning his gaze to Zi Ming. ¡°Do you know how to do it?¡± Zi Ming was taken aback. Immediately after, a smile appeared on his face. ¡°I know a bit about opening up wastnd, digging graves, and hoeing.¡± ¡°Clearing thend, digging graves, hoeing, I know a bit.¡± After ten minutes, ¡°Done.¡± When Zi Ming stood up again, his hands were already covered with mud. The spiritual field beneath him had been expanded by a ring, and medicinal herb seeds were nted. After wiping off the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, Zi Ming walked towards the sink to clean his hands. As for Chen Sheng, He was in the grocery store, ordering takeout over the phone. Since neither Xu Ying nor Zhou Li were present, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t feel like cooking and would rather order in. ¡°Thank you.¡± After returning to the backyard, Chen Sheng nodded towards Zi Ming. Immediately afterwards , His expression grew a little strange. Was Zi Ming actually¡ sweating? Even his breathing appeared somewhatbored. Chen Sheng had originally assumed that because he couldn¡¯t see Zi Ming¡¯s attribute panel, his strength was likely simr to his own, and he might even far surpass him. But now, Zi Ming¡¯s performance overturned Chen Sheng¡¯s spection. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Zi Ming saw Chen Sheng¡¯s concern, but he didn¡¯t seem to feel like exining. He continued washing his hands in silence by the sink. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t take it to heart. Though he was somewhat curious, if Zi Ming wouldn¡¯t speak, he couldn¡¯t strong-arm him into it. Upon this thought, Chen Sheng approached the stone table. The gift bag that Zi Ming brought contained two wooden boxes in total. After seeing the spirit seed and getting overjoyed, Chen Sheng momentarily forgot that he hadn¡¯t opened the other wooden box. Upon opening the box, The bright light once again filled Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes. Inside the wooden box, neatly arranged, were about a dozen spiritual medicines. Their source must also be Li Hengkong. Although Chen Sheng was unclear how Li obtained these resources. Chen Sheng wasn¡¯t shy about calling Li a sly dog. Luckily, Now, all of these are his. With this harvest, Chen Sheng would not need to worry about cultivation resources for a long time. Upon thinking this, Chen Sheng picked up a spiritual medicine and headed straight to the kitchen. After asking Zhou Li a series of questions, Chen Sheng selected the appropriate herbs and began to boil water to cook the spirit medicine. Upon returning to the backyard, Zi Ming had already sat back down at the stone table, quietly waiting for Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, ¡± ¡°About yesterday¡¯s incident, you¡ didn¡¯t leave any evidence, did you?¡± Chen Sheng shook his head. ¡°No.¡± When it came to handling crime scene evidence, the current Chen Sheng was no longer the rookie who needed Zi Ming¡¯s guidance. Now, he already had a wealth of experience. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Upon hearing this, Zi Ming nodded,pletely relieved. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about Power Sect for now.¡± ¡°As long as they can¡¯t find any evidence, at most the Wu¡¯an Bureau will send someone to investigate. They won¡¯t tantly give you a hard time.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± Chen Sheng sat down at the stone table and thanked Zi Ming again. He was well aware that Zhao Zhenfeng had behaved himself only because of Zi Ming. ¡°You¡¯ve saved me twice.¡± ¡°This little thing is nothing.¡± Zi Ming slowly shook his head. After saying that, He fell into silence, hesitation shing in his eyes, as if wrestling with something. After a while, Shen Ziming seemed to have made up his mind. He turned to Chen Sheng. ¡°Brother Chen, ¡± ¡°Are you interested in the Sealed Land?¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze sharpened. As expected. He suspected that Shen Ziming¡¯s visit to Fuhai Province was not just to help him deal with the power sect issue. A few days ago, Chen Sheng attacked Xiang Zeng and took his phone. While checking the text messages on the phone, he saw a message about the sealea Lana. Last time he explored the Sealed Land, Chen Sheng obtained the powerful breathing technique of Profound and True Martial Arts. But he was not sure if the other Sealed Lands would also contain simr breathing techniques. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Chen Sheng didn¡¯t show any interest in the Sealed Land. Because so far, his knowledge of the Sealed Land only came from sporadic information from Xu Ying and what he discovered at the bottom of the waterfall. ¡°The Sealed Land is a site left by the ancient humans after they sealed the Celestials.¡± ¡°Its location and scale have no particr pattern, mainly because most of them are extremely well-concealed and hard to discover.¡± ¡°We can only discover them when the seal gradually breaks, and the power leakage from the Sealed Land impacts the surrounding environment . ¡°However, there¡¯s one thing that ismon in all Sealed Lands.¡± ¡°That is, in every Sealed Land, there are inheritances.¡± ¡°Those ancient humans who sealed the Celestials would leave the legacy of their cultivated breathing techniques in the Sealed Land. Any human who enters the deepest part of the Sealed Land can obtain an extremely powerful breathing technique as long as they pass the tests.¡± Huh? Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s face shifted. He instantly turned his gaze towards Shen Ziming. ¡°Without exception?¡± ¡°Without exception.¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s fingers were slowly twirling, his eyes reflecting a contemtive expression. Shen Ziming affirmed the suspicion in his mind. That was, other Sealed Lands also contained powerful breathing techniques like Profound and True Martial Arts. Upon thinking, his mind instantly became active. It would be a lie to say that Chen Sheng didn¡¯t want powerful breathing techniques like Profound and True Martial Arts. However¡ ¡°Recently, the Martial Arts Association found a potential new Sealed Land around the border of Fuhai Province and its neighboring provinces.¡± ¡°In a few days, they will probably discover the entry to the Sealed Land.¡± ¡°I n to go explore it.¡± ¡°So, I was wondering if you would be interested in¡ª¡± ¡°Sorry,¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± However , Before Shen Ziming could finish speaking, Chen Sheng cut him off. Now that he has obtained the inheritance of Li Hengkong, Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t have to worry about resources for the meantime. As for the breathing techniques, he also acquired a dozen or so from Li Hengkong. Although individually, they may not be as powerful as Profound and True Martial Arts. However, with the existence of Breaking Limits, the enhancement effects of these breathing techniques on his physical attributes, when stacked together, are also very considerable. Therefore, Chen Sheng¡¯s current n is to seize every opportunity to enhance his strength. Once he is strong enough, getting breathing techniques and spirit medicines through other means would be much easier. He doesn¡¯t need to risk exploring the Sealed Land. Therefore, After considering, Chen Sheng decided to reject Shen Ziming¡¯s invitation. Shen Ziming slightly opened his mouth, clearly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Chen Sheng to refuse so decidedly. However, shortly after, he closed his mouth and gave a wry smile. ¡°I worked hard to gather the courage to invite you.¡± ¡°Sorry,¡± Chen Sheng¡¯s face unchanged, he apologized again. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°I nned to go alone anyvvay, but after meeting you and seeing your extraordinary strength, I decided to extend an invitation.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not interested, I won¡¯t force you.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s forget about it. Let¡¯s drop this topic.¡± Shen Zimingughed and waved his hand, halting the discussion about the Sealed Land. For the next half an hour, They chatted idly. After having a meal, Shen Ziming prepared to leave. ¡°I¡¯ll be going first.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll find you for a chat and tea when I get back from the secretnd.¡± At the entrance of the grocery store, Shen Ziming waved cheerfully at Chen Sheng and turned to saunter towards the alley entrance. Watching his retreating figure, Chen Sheng suddenly felt a strange premonition in his heart. This parting might be a long one, possibly thest. ¡°Hey, your health¡ª¡± Thinking about how Shen Ziming was panting for breath just from clearing thend, Chen Sheng immediately raised his head, intending to call out to Shen Ziming. But the next second, his pupils shrank, his face shing with shock. He stared at the empty alley before him. Shen Ziming, had disappeared.. Chapter 160 - 160: 145: Heavenly Person and True Identity Chapter 160 - 160: 145: Heavenly Person and True Identity Trantor: 549690339 Quanjiang City, Port District. Shen Ziming held a can of c in his hand. He sat cross-legged on the sidewalk by the road, watching the passing traffic and pedestrians. Strangely, this ce was clearly a traffic artery. But the passing crowd, either busy looking at their phones, making phone calls, or talking to theirpanions by their side. An adult sitting on the ground like this did not attract any attention. ¡°Ha-ha ¨C cough cough!¡± Shen Ziming gulped down arge mouthful of ice c. The cold liquid poured down his throat, instantly stimting him to uncontroble coughing. ¡°Whew ¨C c is always quite the kick.¡± But Shen Ziming was already used to it. When the coughing stopped, he gently shook the c in his hand, preparing to finish the remaining contents. Dinglingling- But at that moment, his phone suddenly rang. He lifted his hand and paused mid-air. Shen Ziming took out his mobile phone and looked at it. [Sixth Senior Brother] That was the name of the caller disyed on the screen. ¡°Sigh As soon as he saw the name, Shen Ziming couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He subconsciously ced the c next to him, preparing to answer the phone. Next second. Bang. ¡°What the hell?¡± ¡°Where did this ce from?¡± An uncle passing by looked at the ground beneath him and then at the c that had been kicked away by him, his face bewildered. As for Shen Ziming, he answered the phone directly. ¡°How¡¯s it going?¡± A slightly suppressed voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡®My body is quite the picture of health. Thanks for your concern, senior brother.¡± A smile appeared on Shen Ziming¡¯s face. ¡°Who asked about your health? How would I not know how your body is?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you give the initiation gift Master gave you to someone else? It should have been to ask them to apany you to the Sealed Land, right?¡± ¡°Did they agree?¡± Upon hearing that, even though they were separated by phone, Shen Ziming still pretended to be surprised. ¡°I gave away the Spirit Seed because they saved my life before, what does it have to do with me going to the secret realm or not?¡± As soon as the voice fell, Shen Ziming heard a sudden sound of gasping from the other end of the phone. His heart thumped for a moment. At the same time, he quickly took the phone away from his ear. Next second. ¡°Are you out of your fucking mind?!! ¡°Do you have any idea how high the grade of that Spirit Seed is!!! ¡± ¡°That¡¯s a top-quality Spirit Seed that could supply an entire medium-sized sect for a whole year. If it weren¡¯t for you saying you have a trustworthy friend, I would have originally used it as payment to ask my friend to apany you!¡± The Sealed Land, although divided without a level system. But based on the anomalies caused by the leakage of the seal, the Martial Arts Association has special personnel who can analyze the approximate scale. Overly strong martial artists, although unable to actively control their Qi. But their horrifying bodies, with simple actions, can cause damage to the environment of the Sealed Land. Even as to¡ expand the crack of the seal, causing the Heavenly Person to awaken prematurely. This is something that the Martial Arts Association absolutely will not allow. Therefore, approaching the Sealed Land, there is mostly a strength limitation. Bad luck. Among the members of the Yihe Gate, plus Shen Ziming, there are eight in total. Each one stronger than the next. He¡¯s the only weak one. so, This time he decided to enter the Sealed Land in search of something that could cure his family¡¯s gic disease, Shen Ziming needed to find someone else. His original intention was to seek help from Chen Sheng. But within the Sealed Land, dangers abound- Zhao Zhenfeng of the Power Sect might also be going. Ultimately, Shen Ziming did not disclose his physical condition to Chen Sheng. ¡°Sixth Senior Brother.¡± When the voice on the other end of the phone gradually subsided, Shen Ziming sighed and then ced the phone back to his ear. ¡°This lie, you can tell me.¡± ¡°Just don¡¯t deceive yourself too.¡± ¡°What friends do you have?¡± The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. Only after a while, did the sound resume. ¡°So are you nning to go to the Sealed Land on your own to die?¡± ¡°Even if that brat from the Power Sect doesn¡¯t dare to harm you, there are still other dangers within the Sealed Land.¡± ¡°You¡sigh.¡± In the end, the sixth senior brother couldn¡¯t bring himself to say anything more. Countless words eventually turned into a single sigh. ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Shen Ziming consoled him. ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± ¡°I may not be great at fighting, but I¡¯m pretty good at other things.¡± As soon as the words left his mouth. There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time. Shen Ziming, feeling a bit strange, nced at the mobile phone screen and saw that the call hadn¡¯t been disconnected. He brought the phone closer to him ¡°Senior Brother?¡± ¡°Shall I¡hang up first?¡± Just as Shen Ziming was about to press the hang-up button. ¡°You¡¯d bettere back to the sect in one piece.¡± ¡°Giving my top-level Spirit Seed to those random people, I¡¯ll have to settle this score with you.¡± Atst, the deep voice of his sixth senior brother sounded again. ¡°First of all.¡± ¡°They are not random people; he¡¯s the one who saved my life twice.¡± ¡°Secondly.¡± Upon saying this, Shen Ziming grinned, revealing two rows of clean white teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I will definitely return to the sect safely and sincerely apologize to you, my sixth senior brother.¡± ¡°Humph, you¡¯d better.¡± With that, There was a beep, And the call hung up. Shen Ziming put his phone into his pocket, preparing to pick up the c beside him. But when he reached out, He only touched something wet. Lowering his head, Shen Ziming saw that the c can had already vanished, leaving only the liquid slowly flowing on the ground. Shaking his hand, Shen Ziming shook his head with a bitter smile. Then, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°I still owe you a favor.¡± He raised his head, looking at the clear sky, and muttered to himself. The words had barely left his mouth, When the sun at the end of Shen Ziming¡¯s line of sight was blocked by an unopened can of c. Apanying it was, the sound of a voice in his ear. ¡°No rush.¡± ¡°You can pay me back slowly.¡± Swish! Shen Ziming looked up in astonishment. His vision was instantly filled by a tall dark figure. Immediately after, Chen Sheng sat down beside him. ¡°So, that Spirit Seed wasn¡¯t Li Hengkong s? Although Shen Ziming¡¯s mind was somewhat muddled, When he heard the question, he instinctively answered. ¡°Li Hengkong¡¯s Spirit Seed is indeed good in quality, but it¡¯s close to its expiration date, so¡¡± Shen Ziming lowered his head to look at his palm. In his field of vision, an invisible substance, simr to light dots, covered the surface of his body. It was this substance that concealed his figure. As such, He was very puzzled as to why Chen Sheng could see him. At this moment, after hearing Shen Ziming¡¯s words, Chen Sheng nodded in understanding. He looked to his side, where his gaze met emptiness. Indeed, Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t see Shen Ziming at all. But the reason he could hear the other¡¯s talking and urately know their location, was likely due to breaking through to the secondyer of Profound and True Martial Arts, granting him the ability tomunicate with the consciousness of water. It was the consciousness of water that ryed Shen Ziming¡¯s location and the content of his speech to him. ¡°So, what¡¯s your current situation? Looking at the empty air in front of him, Chen Sheng was the first to ask. Shen Ziming was still in a state of self-doubt. Hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s question once more, His face immediately showed a conflicted expression. Chen Sheng didn¡¯t rush him, just quietly waiting for his answer. After a long time, the consciousness of water ryed Shen Ziming¡¯s answer to Chen Sheng. ¡°I¡¯m a Heavenly Person.¡± ¡°But strictly speaking, I¡¯m only half of one..¡± Chapter 161 - 161: 146: The Past and the Heavenly Person Cells Chapter 161 - 161: 146: The Past and the Heavenly Person Cells Trantor: 549690339 Huh? Chen Sheng raised his eyebrow. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®only half a Heavenly Person¡¯?¡± He asked, looking at the empty ground beside him. Unlike Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng doesn¡¯t have the ability to be invisible. Sitting on the ground, talking to the air beside him, makes him look like a madman. Especially with his current one point nine meters tall, muscr body. For a moment. All the pedestrians showed horror on their faces, hastily avoiding his path. A vacuum zone formed within a three-meter radius around Chen Sheng. After asking his question. Chen Sheng did not get an immediate response from Shen Ziming. Moreover, the Water Spirit told him that Shen Ziming was asking him to leave this ce. ¡°Where to?¡± ¡°Juste along.¡± Then the two of them left together. As they progressed, the crowd gradually thinned out. Chen Sheng saw an outline of a person slowly appearing in the air next to him. Just like a veil gradually being lifted. Soon, Shen Ziming¡¯s figure appeared before Chen Sheng. Although he already knew that Shen Ziming had the ability to be invisible, seeing it with his own eyes, Chen Sheng still showed a hint of surprise on his face. At this moment, They were by the side of ake in a park. At high noon, with the sun directly overhead. There weren¡¯t many people strolling around the park. Shen Ziming invited Chen Sheng to sit on the grass. ¡°As to why I said that I am only half a Heavenly Person, I have to start from the beginning.¡± When Chen Sheng sat down, he looked at the calmke and started to speak in a soft voice. The gaze of Shen Ziming gradually became absorbed in his memories. Then, He began to talk about his past. ¡°I¡¯ve been pursuing the matter of my family¡¯s gic disease since a long time ago¡¡± Shen Ziming was born into a literary family. His mother was a professor in the History Department of a university. His father was an ordinary rural teacher. Although Shen Ziming never met any rtives other than his parents from childhood to adulthood. But his mother was well-educated, and his father was calm and steady. Their only hope for Shen Ziming was that he could grow up happily without any worries. Apart from this, they never put any extra pressure on him. Therefore, Shen Ziming had a very happy childhood. Unfortunately, ording to Shen Ziming, his mother always seemed to need to take medicine as far as he could remember. She took a lot of medicine. Every time she spoke, it seemed soft and weak, as if she would run out of breath after saying a few words. As Shen Ziming grew older, his mother¡¯s condition became more and more serious. Finally, When Shen Ziming was twelve years old. His mother, who had been bedridden for half a year, never woke up again after sleeping one night. After that, Shen Ziming¡¯s father resigned from his job. In the following years, his father took Shen Ziming around, seeking famous doctors and visiting all the big city hospitals. The disease of Shen Ziming¡¯s mother was a gic disease. All the people in her family died of the gic disease. The reason why Shen¡¯s father took Shen Ziming around was to try to save his own son. Unfortunately, Shen¡¯s father didn¡¯t seed. When Shen Ziming was eighteen, he had an ident. Also, starting from that year, Shen Ziming gradually felt that something was wrong with his body. He often felt weak and had a fever every few days. When it was severe, he would faint directly. Until the tide rising period came, he had be so weak that he could hardly walk out of his house. He could only stay in the rented house all day, living on drugs, with all three meals delivered by takeout. Shen Ziming thought that his final fate was to die in the rented house until his body was found. But during that time. The tide rising period started. One early morning when Shen Ziming got up, he suddenly found that his body condition had improved a lot. He, who had struggled to walk the day before, could run and jump, and there seemed to be no weakness. And in the following few days, his body became stronger day by day. Shen Ziming was overjoyed. He thought this was a blessing from heaven, giving him another chance to live. Unfortunately, The good times didn¡¯tst long. One month after bing a Qi-sensor, Shen Ziming was horrified to find. The symptoms of the gic disease appeared on him again. Although very slight, but indeed it was, and it became more obvious as time went by. So, Before the gic disease deteriorated to affect his movements, Shen Ziming decided to use his superman-like physique to find a cure for his family¡¯s gic disease. Along the way, he met people from the Holy Sect. They imed they could solve Shen Ziming¡¯s gic disease, but he needed to work for the Holy Sect. Initially, Shen Ziming did not believe it. Until the other person presented a broken stone the size of a grain of rice. ¡°A broken stone?¡± ¡°What kind of broken stone?¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng seemed to think of something, with a contemtive expression. ¡°This kind of stone, the people of the Holy Sect call it a Qi Consolidation Stone.¡± ¡°So far, it has only been found in the Heavenly Person Seal Land, and it is extremely rare.¡± ¡°It looks like a stone, in all kinds of shapes.¡± ¡°But without exception, these stones have different colors of flowing light on their surfaces, such as azure, emerald green, and so on.¡± Sure enough. Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng¡¯s gaze immediately congealed. He had seen this kind of stone before. During the two days he worked as a coach at the Wu¡¯an Bureau, he had seen it on Xu Rou who was in Wu¡¯an Bureau. It was a rattan wood pendant, inside which was enshrined the Qi Consolidation Stone mentioned by Shen Ziming. Chen Sheng also got the Eye of True View through it, and gained the ability to check other people¡¯s attribute panels. He had also asked Xu Rou on WeChat, where did she got that pendant from. The answer Xu Rou gave was, the flea market. Knowing that Chen Sheng seemed to need simr things, the little girl had been to the flea market several times during this period. Unfortunately, she never found a simr pendant again. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng¡¯s mind started to be more active again. If it is said, that the breathing techniques contained in the Seal Lands alone, are not attractive enough for him. But now, with the addition of the Qi Consolidation Stone¡. ¡°So, you need to find the Qi Consolidation Stone to treat your familial gic disease?¡± Thinking of this, Chen Sheng asked again. ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Ziming nodded. ¡°I need the Qi Consolidation Stone to kill that part of me that belongs to the Heavenly Person.¡± Having said this. Shen Ziming stretched out his hand towards the sun above their heads. Under the sunlight. Chen Sheng could clearly see, there were faint luminous spots shing in his palm. Immediately, Shen Ziming¡¯s palm simply disappeared from view. ¡°After joining the Yihe Gate, with the help of my master, and using the most advanced technology today, my body was thoroughly examined.¡± ¡°Finally, the secret of the cells in my body was sessfully discovered.¡± ¡°In my body, there is a group of cells simr to cancer cells.¡± ¡°They continue to multiply, difficult to kill, and continue to consume the normal cells in my body.¡± ¡°As these cells continue to multiply and consume my body¡¯s normal cells, I gained abilities simr to those of a Heavenly Person.¡± ¡°I can see the colorful Qi in the air, and I can even manipte them, achieving various miraculous feats.¡± ¡°But¡when these cells grow to a certain extent, my body willpletely copse, and I won¡¯t even be able to sustain my life.¡± ¡°Only the Qi Consolidation Stone can effectively kill the Heavenly Person cells inside me and restore me to health.¡± Hearing this. Chen Sheng looked puzzled. This description. Why does it sound so much like the secondyer of his Profound and True Martial Arts? But he is in fantastic health, enjoying every meal. Not at all like Shen Ziming, who looks half-dead. Chen Sheng does not believe he is a Heavenly Person. After all, he can onlymunicate with the Water Spirit and ask for help, instead of controlling it directly. And this power was gained by practicing Profound and True Martial Arts. Maybe¡this is the secret of how the ancient humans could defeat the Heavenly People? They obtained abilities simr to those of the Heavenly People by practicing powerful breathing techniques, gathered the power of many, and sealed the Heavenly People. ¡°Brother Chen?¡± As Chen Sheng was lost in thought, a call sounded in his ear. He looked up to see Shen Ziming staring at him very seriously. ¡°Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Since you already know, I won¡¯t hide it anymore.¡± ¡°I indeed need to go to the Sealed Land to search for the Qi Consolidation Stone, to kill the Heavenly Person cells in my body.¡± ¡°But there are many dangers in the Sealed Land, and Zhao Zhenfeng might also possibly-¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Before Shen Ziming could finish his statement. He was directly interrupted by Chen Sheng¡¯s waving hand. ¡°How many Qi Consolidation Stones do you need to kill the Heavenly Person cells in your body?¡± Hearing this, Shen Ziming paused for a moment before speaking again. ¡°In Kyoto, I have already absorbed a lot of it, a lot of Heavenly Person cells have been eliminated.¡± ¡°ording to my master¡¯s prediction, I probably need a little bit more.¡± ¡°Originally, there were still some Qi Consolidation Stones left in the Martial Arts Association. ¡± ¡°But not long ago, these Qi Consolidation Stones were taken away by the official, they seemed to want to conduct some research. That¡¯s why I have to¡.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Chen Sheng nodded his head. Then he immediately got up and walked away from the park. ¡°Call me when you are ready to set off.¡± Having said that, Chen Sheng¡¯s figure vanished on the spot. Such a neat and decisive attitude took Shen Ziming by surprise. A long whileter. ¡°Thank you.¡± Only then did he look in the direction where Chen Sheng had disappeared, muttering softly.. Chapter 162 - 162: 147: Preparation and Wholehearted Cultivation Chapter 162 - 162: 147: Preparation and Wholehearted Cultivation Trantor: 549690339 Haizhou City. Lijing Hotel, 18th floor, Presidential Suite. ¡°Master.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng was talking to Xiang Li, reporting the work progress in Fuhai Province over the past two days. Among them, included the follow-up on the Xiang Zeng attack incident. The disappearance of the two men from Kongming Martial Arts Gym, and Shen Ziming¡¯s appearance, preventing him from further investigation, was too coincidental. Moreover, Zhao Zhenfeng found through investigation that after arriving in Fuhai Province, Shen Ziming went directly to Quanjiang City. This made him suspicious of whether there was a connection between Shen Ziming and Chen Sheng. Even as to¡ whether the attack on Xiang Zeng had anything to do with Yihe Gate. ¡°Sun Yihe, that old dog, probably couldn¡¯t pull off something like this.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s not certain for those bastards from Yihe Gate.¡± From the other end of the phone, Xiang Li¡¯s voice came through. He did not deny Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s suspicions. ¡°As for that Shen Ziming¡ I have an idea of his motives.¡± A while ago, someone told Xiang Li that just before and after Sun Yihe had epted Shen Ziming as his disciple, he had tried to collect Qi Jie Stones within his circles. Although Sun Yihe was very careful not to let anyone know the purpose of collecting Qi Jie Stones, the fact that Shen Ziming appeared in Fuhai Province shortly after the discovery of the Sealed Land, it¡¯s likely that he too is after the Qi Jie Stones. ¡°Recently, the officials are also collecting Qi Jie Stones. Our Martial Arts Association is ultimately supposed to serve China, and we are obligated to collect Qi Jie Stones for the officials to prevent them from falling into private hands. Do you understand?¡± In the middle of the conversation, There was a subtle hint in Xiang Li¡¯s voice. The implied meaning couldn¡¯t be more obvious. ¡°However, don¡¯t hurt Shen Ziming, at least don¡¯t let him die.¡± ¡°Otherwise, it would be difficult to exin to Li Wuji.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± A smile crept up at the corner of Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s mouth. A sh of murderous intent passed through his eyebrows. The scene of Shen Ziming warning him tacitly and openlyst night is still fresh in his memory. This kind of anger, as a disciple of the Sect Master of the Power Sect, how could Zhao Zhenfeng tolerate it? Now, although he still can¡¯t kill Shen Ziming. But the long-standing feud between Yihe Gate and Power Sect. Both sides wished the other would die sooner. As for the other disciples of Yihe Gate, Zhao Zhenfeng couldn¡¯t match them. It was rare to have someone like Shen Ziming, with low strength, enough for him to manipte and toy with. Such an opportunity was truly rare. ¡°As for that Chen Sheng, he¡¯s just a small character, no need to pay too much attention.¡± ¡°Your current mission is to obtain the breathing technique inheritance from the Sealed Land and collect as many Qi Jie Stones as possible.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll discuss other matters after we return from the Sealed Land.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng nodded. He had no intention of concerning himself with the Xiang Zeng attack incident in the first ce. As for in his eyes, Chen was just a small character like an insect. He could be easily squished when Zhao found the time. Concentrating too much on it would only make him seem cheap. Beep. After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhenfeng heard the crying and roaringing from the room next door, his brow furrowing deeply. He quickly got up. And went to the door of the adjacent room. Knock knock. Zhao Zhenfeng knocked softly. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± The roaring stopped gradually in the room. Footsteps approached. In a moment, the room door opened. With red eyes and a lingering anger on his face, Xiang Zeng saw Zhao Zhenfeng standing at the door and instinctively shrunk his head. ¡°Bro¡ Senior Brother.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, 1-¡± Next second. Bang! Zhao Zhenfeng pped Xiang Zeng to the ground with one hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the attack.¡± ¡°Master is going to send someone to take over things here, and in a couple of days, you¡¯ll go back to Kyoto first.¡± Looking at Xiang Zeng on the ground, Zhao Zhenfeng spoke indifferently. ording to Xiang Li¡¯s original n, Zhao Zhenfeng would go to the sealednd on the border of Fuhai Province, while Xiang Zeng would stay in Fuhai Province to manage the local martial arts sects and gain some experience in the process. But now, Xiang Zeng has been reduced to an idiot. This n naturally fell through. ¡°Senior Brother! ! ¡± ¡°That Chen Sheng- -¡± Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng quickly raised his head and cried out to Zhao Zhenfeng with a wronged expression on his face. Ever since he lost contact with Li Hengkong and the others, the very few thoughts in Xiang Zeng¡¯s head have beenpletely upied by Chen Sheng. He was obsessed with the idea that Chen Sheng must be the culprit. And that Li Hengkong and the others were dead at his hands. Fromst night until now. As Zhao Zhenfeng forbade him from going to Quanjiang City to kill Chen Sheng, Xiang Zeng cried and howled for nearly a day and a night. However, Xiang Zeng¡¯s words were not finished yet. Another bang sounded. His head was crushed by Zhao Zhenfeng directly into the floor of the room. ¡°Two dayster, get the hell back to Kyoto.¡± ¡°I¡¯m only saying this onest time.¡± ¡°If you dare to argue again, I¡¯ll kill you first.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s face was fierce, and his murderous intent was evident. His tone was filled with an icy coldness. He did not hide his disgust for Xiang Zeng at all. Although he would not really kill Xiang Zeng, it didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t have the thought. Hearing these words, Xiang Zeng instantly calmed down. His head was buried inside the floorboard, not moving at all. However, The foul smell spreading from his lower body indirectly reflected his inner fear at the moment. ¡°Trash is trash.¡± ¡°If you weren¡¯t the Sect Master¡¯s son, I would¡¯ve killed you first.¡± ¡°As for the matter of the attack, you don¡¯t need to worry about it. Someone else will take over the investigationter.¡± Leaving a few cold words behind, Zhao Zhenfeng directly left the ce and returned to his own room. In these two days, the entrance to the Sealed Lands could be found at any time. He needed to stay in peak condition to deal with the threats inside the Sealed Land. Just Xiang Zeng left in the room with the door wide open, he was lying on the floor, like a corpse. Not long after, Soft sobbing sounded, gradually getting louder. It seemed that the owner of the voice was trying hard to keep it low. Quanjiang City. After returning to the grocery store, Chen Sheng headed straight for the kitchen. During the time he had gone out to look for Shen Ziming, the Spirit Medicine Soup had almost finished cooking. Having decided to go to the Sealed Land in search of Qi Jie Stone and Breathing Techniques, There were two things Chen Sheng needed to do in these two days. First, he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible. Second, he needed to get some new clothes. Neither Chen Sheng nor Shen Ziming wanted to encounter Zhao Zhenfeng in the Sealed Land. But if they did meet him, Chen Sheng would not want to expose his identity unless he was absolutely confident that he could crush the other partypletely. After all, being suspicious was one thing, But confirming one¡¯s identity was another matter. After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Sheng extinguished the fire and poured the Spirit Medicine Soup into a bowl. He came to the backyard. He looked at the Spiritual Medicine Field that Shen Ziming had just tilled at noon. In just under two hours, the tender sprouts of the spiritual medicine had visibly grown taller. At this rate, Chen Sheng would be able to harvest a batch of new spiritual medicines by tomorrow morning. Immediately after, He picked up the bowl of soup in his hand. Gulping the soup down, Chen Sheng finished the steaming hot Spirit Medicine Soup in one breath. A massive surge of heat rushed to his limbs instantly. Chen Sheng took a deep breath. Without any hesitation, he quickly moved to the center of the courtyard. Lying prone on the ground, he stretched his right leg to its limit, his back arching high. Chen Sheng closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body. His breathing became extremely slow, just one breath taking nearly a minute. At the same time, His body¡¯s muscles gradually swelled, tightening his originally loose clothes. Thud! Thud! Thud! Fully focused on his training, the beating of his heart sounded like a heavy drum, constantly echoing in Chen Sheng¡¯s ears. Blood surged like waves in his body, making gushing sounds as it circted within him. Chen Sheng could clearly hear it. Numerous Water Spirits in the air were gathering around him, cheering him on. ¡°Two-legged beast! Keep it up!¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s ¡®Four-legged beast, keep it up!¡±¡® It was something like that. These Water Spirits were willing to be friends with Chen Sheng. Although it was only a very small part of them, it offered Chen Sheng plenty of help. For example, now, If someone held a humidity detector next to Chen Sheng, they would find that the numbers on the device were soaring uncontrobly. Apanied by the continuous increase in humidity, Chen Sheng could feel that the speed of his body¡¯s conversion of the spiritual medicine had subtly elerated a bit. Though it wasn¡¯t as rapid as training in a downpour, it was more sustainable. Whenpounded, the change was considerable.. Chapter 163 - 163: 148: Upgrade and Profound and True Martial Arts Chapter 163 - 163: 148: Upgrade and Profound and True Martial Arts Trantor: 549690339 Time flies. Two dayster. Quanjiang City, morning. In Yinghui Grocery Store, various strange sounds resonated. There was a steady and heavy heartbeat, like the sound of a drum. There was a swooshing sound, like waves crashing on the shore. And there was a continuous and deep, mountain-like breathing. In the center of the courtyard. Chen Sheng¡¯s upper body was bare, revealing well-defined muscles as hard as metal. Every inch of his body was covered with beads of sweat. Under the sunlight, they reflected a dazzling gleam. Whoosh! Chen Sheng pushed himself up with both hands. His tall and burly body leaped from the ground. In the air, muffled sounds immediately followed. It was the sound of a massive object colliding and rubbing with the air. Stepping. Hended steadily on both feet. ¡°Huff Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh. It was winter now. The warm air quickly condensed into white mist in the air and rose. Chen Sheng closed his eyes. The various sounds in his body gradually subsided. When he opened his eyes again, the courtyard had returned to its original tranquility. Moving to the stone table, he picked up the cup of water and gulped it down. The boiled water inside was gone in an instant. Setting the cup down. Chen Sheng looked around and couldn¡¯t help but let out a faint sigh, his face showing a hint of helplessness. The brick ground in the courtyard was filled with traces of dents and cracks everywhere. This was a result of his rapidly growing physical attributes and difficulty controlling his own strength. The only exception was the area surrounding the spiritual medicine field. Chen Sheng was afraid of destroying the hard-grown spiritual medicine, so he didn¡¯t go near that area except when picking the herbs. Nevertheless, At this moment, the courtyard looked like a mess. Right now, Chen Sheng felt a little guilty as he looked towards the other side, Zhou Li¡¯s room. He could even imagine how Zhou Li would be furious when he returned to the store. ¡°Sigh¡ª Chen Sheng let out a long breath. Before he could get someone to repair the courtyard, he thought it would be better not to let Zhou Li return. With that in mind, He walked towards the kitchen. White mist lingered. Above the stove, the glowing spirit medicine soup bubbled and steamed. This was the spiritual medicine that Chen Sheng had been brewing since two hours ago. At this moment, it was just the right time. Seeing this, Chen Sheng directly picked up the iron pot. The scalding hot pot did not cause any harm to his palm. He poured the spirit medicine soup into a cup. Then Chen Sheng went straight out the door and headed toward the riverside. Two minutester. Riverside. Chen Sheng¡¯s figure appeared. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Listening to the sound of water flowing, he felt refreshed and at ease. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 158] [Agility: 157] [Constitution: 173] [Skill Points: 257] As his basic attributes improved each day, Chen Sheng¡¯s attribute growth rate had reached a shocking extent. In just two days, His strength and agility attributes both increased by fifty-five points. The constitution attribute even increased by sixty points directly. The skill points had also reached a level sufficient to upgrade his Profound and True Martial Arts. Last night, Chen Sheng picked up his long-unused Xingyi Fist and Three-Body Technique. Compared with the Breathing Technique, practicing the Xingyi Fist fighting method required more control over his force. After nearly two hours of practice, Chen Sheng barely adapted to his current body strength without causing extensive damage to the environment in the courtyard. At this moment, Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the skill column on the panel. [Profound and True Martial Arts Level 2: 97/200,000] Now, It was time to upgrade. ording to Shen Zi Ming, it would be either today or tomorrow. The entrance to the Sealed Land would be found. Before setting off, Chen Sheng nned to maximize his strength. Thinking of this, he didn¡¯t hesitate at all. Chen Sheng focused his attention on the words Profound and True Martial Arts. Upgrade! The words became blurry. The skill points quickly decreased. In a short breath, they were fixed again. [Skill Points: 58] [Profound and True Martial Arts Level 3: 0/500000] Chen Sheng let out a soft cry. Looking at this, Profound and True Martial Arts was not like the other breathing techniques Chen Sheng practiced, which only had three levels. Moreover, the skill points needed to upgrade were bing more and more exaggerated. This made Chen Sheng somewhat disappointed. He originally thought that this upgrade would bring Profound and True Martial Arts to perfection, leading to a leap in strength and a better chance against the unknown strength of Zhao Zhenfeng. But now, that hope has fallen through. However, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t feel too discouraged. In the long run, the higher the limit of Profound and True Martial Arts, the more advantageous it would be for him. Thinking about this. Chen Sheng held his breath and waited silently. However, this time, he didn¡¯t enter the illusion. Boom! An enormous torrent of muscle memory and information streams instantly entered Chen Sheng¡¯s body. ¡°Ergh- The sudden and overwhelming pain swept through his entire body, causing Chen Sheng to let out an anguished howl. Blood vessels crawled up the whites of his eyes, quickly dyeing them bright red. Due to the sudden intensity of the pain, Chen Sheng could no longer control the strength of his own body for a moment. The ground beneath his feet instantly copsed, as cracks rapidly spread out in all directions at a visible speed. Thump! Thump! Thump! His heart beat at an unprecedented rate, pounding rapidly like thunder. Under the influence of the heartbeat, Chen Sheng¡¯s blood surged even faster through his body, causing waves of tidal-like wailing sounds. Perhaps sensing Chen Sheng¡¯s pain at the moment, the surrounding water spirits became somewhat anxious. The originally calm river surface gradually stirred with ripples. It seemed as if there was a raging undercurrent beneath the surface of the river. Crack¡ snap! Due to the overwhelming pain, Chen Sheng almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his legs strained just in time so that he barely managed to stabilize his posture. Chen Sheng¡¯s facial features twisted in pain, and his body instinctively arched up, like a cooked shrimp. The muscles that he had built up like boulders in various parts of his body were constantlypressing and contracting under a series of teeth -gritting friction noises. He could clearly feel that each fiber of his muscles was breaking and healing at an extremely high frequency. And as the reformed muscle fibers grew thicker, they were forciblypressed, continuously increasing in density and hardness. Not only that, With the constant increase in muscle mass, Chen Sheng could clearly hear the miserable cries of his bones in his body, unable to bear the load. Until finally, Crack! Thud! The bones in his legs could no longer withstand the pressure and broke directly. Chen Sheng knees mmed into the ground. ¡°Ergh-¡® With his bloodshot eyes wide open, he let out a beast-like roar. The pain that swept through his entire body constantly assaulted his reason, making him desperately want to find a way to vent. As a result, Chen Sheng slowly lifted his arm. The steel muscles tinged with metallic luster constantly made ear-piercing friction noises. But eventually, he chose not to smash it down. Now, Chen Sheng¡¯s physical strength was not to be taken lightly. If he recklessly destroyed things, he could cause a disaster and attract attention. He could only choose to silently bear the pain brought about by the transformation of his body. For a moment, The sound of the river washing, The sound of bones breaking, And the thunderous heartbeat sounded together by the riverside. Among them, Muffled groans filled with pain were asionally mixed in. As time slowly passed, Two hourster, These sounds gradually faded away.. Chapter 164 - 164: 149: Changes and New Skills Chapter 164 - 164: 149: Changes and New Skills Trantor: 549690339 Whoosh The originally calm surface of the Quanjiang River stirred up waves. The river water surged toward the shore, trying to get closer to something time and again. Chen Shengid on the ground in a spread-eagle position, constantly breathing in the air with his mouth wide open. His appearance had now undergone a tremendous change. The block-like muscles that had piled up like granite all over his body had shrunk by more than half. Even his original height of one point nine meters had been reduced to just over one point eight meters. If Chen Sheng¡¯s previous stature could be called tall and burly, then his current one could barely be described as lean. However, even so, Chen Sheng¡¯s eyes were brighter than they had ever been before. The deep blue glow inside them was filled with a mysterious aura that made people want to explore. After resting for a few minutes and allowing his tormented nerves to recover gradually, Chen slowly got up from the ground. Apanying his movements, The crisp sounds of bones colliding inside his body exploded one after another. Chen Sheng stood still with his eyes closed, Feeling the seemingly endless power that filled his body. His condition was better than ever. However¡. Chen Sheng looked down. His body seemed to have shrunk quite a bit, hadn¡¯t it? And it was so pale! Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his forearm. The falling kes of skin were blown away like snowkes by the wind, drifting away into the distance. As the kes fell, Chen Sheng discovered that his arm was now incredibly smooth and white,parable to that of a newborn baby. Seeing this, Chen Sheng took a step and prepared to head to the riverside to see his current appearance. As soon as he took a step, With a loud boom, The already devastated ground copsed once more. Chen Sheng¡¯s face was filled with astonishment at first. Then, He seemed to understand something, And directly called up his attribute panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 188 (38)] [Agility: 187 (40)] [Constitution: 208 (35)] [Skill Column: Profound and True Martial Arts v3: 0/500000, Xuanwu Transformation (Non-upgradable)] [Skill Points: 153] Seeing the panel, Chen Sheng immediately understood what was going on. Breaking through to the thirdyer of Profound and True Martial Arts, Raised his strength and agility by 30 points each. His constitution jumped directly by 35 points, breaking through the 200-point barrier. With such a massive increase in attributes, it was no wonder that he would cause the ground to copse just by simply walking. Chen Sheng had a simr experience during his upgrade two days ago, But the impact on his surroundings was not as great as it was now. At this moment, Chen Sheng was immensely grateful he had not broken through inside the grocery store. Otherwise, Yinghui Grocery Store might have be history starting from today. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng did not move forward immediately, But stood still with his eyes closed. His fingers trembled slightly, creating faint crackling sounds in the air. His body¡¯s muscles shook one after another, producing continuous muffled sounds. Chen used the Xingyi Fist and Three-Body Technique to familiarize himself with his current power by controlling his muscles. After about half an hour, Chen Sheng, who had initially gotten familiar with the changes in his body, once again moved closer to the riverside step by step. Upon reaching the riverside, Chen Sheng started to undress. Under themand of the Water Spirit, waves crashed down on him one after another. His body remained motionless. Yet, the falling water sessfully washed away the kes on his skin. One minuteter, Everything returned to calm on the river surface. Chen Sheng appeared on the shore, His current appearance reflected in the perfectly still water without a single ripple. A familiar feeling surged up in his heart. A nostalgic expression couldn¡¯t help but show on Chen Sheng¡¯s face. Although his skin appeared whiter and more delicate. But what was reflected from the water¡¯s surface was his appearance not long after he returned to Quanjiang City and before he started practicing the Breathing Technique. Ever since he practiced the Breathing Technique, Chen Sheng found himself on an irreversible path to bing a muscr giant. It was not a big deal during fights. But even in his daily life, his physique gradually became more and more robust as his attributes kept increasing. This had troubled Chen Sheng quite a bit. Fortunately, His appearance has finally returned to normal now. Well¡ at least it is so in the normal state. Chen Sheng looked at the attribute panel again. In the skill column, both the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form Breathing Techniques had already disappeared. However, this did not mean That Chen Sheng had lost the enhancement brought about by these two Breathing techniques. On the current panel, There is an added bracket behind each attribute. That was the attribute amplification Chen Sheng could achieve when he activated the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form previously. This part of physical attributes came from the original breakthrough of the two breathing techniques, transformed from potential to actual strength. It was usually hidden inside Chen Sheng¡¯s body and could only be fully unleashed when he breathed at a specific frequency. But now, With the physical metamorphosis that apanied the breakthrough of the Profound and True Martial Arts¡¯ Third Layer, This part of the hidden strength within his body will be quickly converted into Chen Sheng¡¯s basic attributes within a short period. And the newly added Xuanwu Transformation in the skill column, Is a terrifying method simr to the Breathing State, but far stronger than it. It only has two effects. Muscle control. Potential stimtion. Within a certain range, they can allow Chen Sheng to either harden his muscles, increasing his defense, Or unleash his potential, enhancing his muscle explosiveness. At most¡ he could double his current strength attribute, reaching a terrifying four hundred points. However, this was not without constraints. The more potential he stimtes and the more attributes he strengthens, Chen Sheng¡¯s body will bear an extremely terrifying burden, and therefore can only be maintained for a short period. ording to Chen Sheng¡¯s own estimates, If he stimtes his strength to twice his current state, He would probably only be able to maintain it for about ten seconds. If he couldn¡¯t defeat his enemy within those ten seconds, Chen Sheng¡¯s body would copse first. But even so, Xuanwu Transformation can be considered a very powerful ability. Unlike the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form, it doesn¡¯t just transform a portion of the potential into strength. As Chen Sheng continues to break through the Profound and True Martial Arts, More potential can be stimted by Xuanwu Transformation as the upper limit for attribute enhancement will also continue to increase until it can extract all the potential from the user¡¯s body. This ability, May not be astonishing for others and could even be considered an enhanced version of the Breathing Technique state. But for Chen Sheng, It was the supreme method. Because his potential¡ is unlimited! Therefore, The emergence of Xuanwu Transformation made Chen Sheng very delighted. To the point that he couldn¡¯t wait to experience the feeling of having four hundred attribute points while standing by the riverside. However¡ Chen Sheng looked around. Due to yesterday¡¯s battle, And the damage caused today while practicing inadvertently, The riverside ground could be described as aplete mess. And this, Was only the destruction caused when he had just over a hundred attribute points. If it were four hundred points¡ Chen Sheng couldn¡¯t imagine. After deliberating for a long time, Eventually, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t dare to experiment with the specific effects of Xuanwu Transformation by the riverside. But when he looked at the river beside him, His eyes suddenly brightened up. This might be a good choice. Thus, Aftermunicating with the Water Spirit, Chen Sheng, without any hesitation, Plunged directly into the river. Ssh! A massive wave surged up and sshed against the riverbank. As for Chen Sheng¡¯s figure, it vanished without a trace.. Chapter 165 - 165: 150: Taking Over and the Arrival of the Power Sect Chapter 165 - 165: 150: Taking Over and the Arrival of the Power Sect Trantor: 549690339 Earlier. Haizhou City. Lijing Hotel, hotel lobby. Zhao Zhenfeng sat quietly next to the bar counter, sipping his drink, with a backpack at his feet. His gaze would asionally sweep over the hotel entrance, as if waiting for someone. Soon, A ck car stopped in front of the hotel. Zhao Zhenfeng slowly stood up, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the entrance. The car door slowly opened. ¡°Brother Zhao!¡± A skinny young man in casual clothes, with a sharp nose and sunken cheeks, got out of the back seat. He noticed Zhao Zhenfeng approaching the entrance right away. His narrow eyes lit up. Calling out loudly, he waved his hand and quickly walked towards Zhao Zhenfeng. As he walked, A ttering smile quickly piled up on his face. ¡°Junior Brother Zhou.¡± Compared to Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s reaction, was much more indifferent. He didn¡¯t change his expression, just slightly nodded and greeted him lightly. As for Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s indifference, Junior Brother Zhou, who knew his character, didn¡¯t mind too much. He stood in front of Zhao Zhenfeng, his gaze briefly sweeping over the backpack in his hand. ¡°Brother Zhao, are you nning to leave directly?¡± ¡°What a pity, I was hoping to discuss some matters with Brother Zhao, so that it would be convenient for me to take over the matters here in Fuhai Province afterwards.¡± Junior Brother Zhou¡¯s figure seemed to be a bit taller than Zhao Zhenfeng. However, perhaps out of convenience for the other party, During their conversation, He bent down, always maintaining a level for Zhao Zhenfeng so that he didn¡¯t have to look up at him. This Junior Brother Zhou, whose real name is Zhou Zheng, is a disciple of the Martial Arts Association¡¯s elder. If the truth was to be spoken, Zhou Zheng had joined the Association much earlier than Zhao Zhenfeng. Technically, Zhou Zheng should be the senior brother. However, in the Martial Arts Association, status is determined by strength. Although Zhao Zhenfeng joined the Associationter, his advancement in strength was rapid. Thus, most disciples in the association had to call him senior brother when they saw him. Many old disciples felt somewhat embarrassed, and often avoided Zhao Zhenfeng. Only Zhou Zheng was an exception. He was slick and very good at catering to others. It could be said that there was no limit to his ttery. Not only did he not avoid Zhao Zhenfeng, but he also approached him time and time again, calling him senior brother. Over time, The two had be quite familiar with each other. ¡°This time, there¡¯s quite somemotion in the Sealed Land, and some trash mighte to join the fun.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead and clean up.¡± After saying that, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s gaze fell on Zhou Zheng. ¡°As for the matter here, you should contact Zhou Qiming from the Martial Arts Association when the timees. I have already informed him in advance.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Zhou Zheng rubbed his hands together, looking happy. Next, He nced around to confirm that there were no familiar faces in the vicinity. Only then did he lean forward and whisper to Zhao Zhenfeng. ¡°By the way, Brother Zhao.¡± ¡°Is Xiang Zeng really¡¡± Zhou Zheng pointed at his own head, making a foolish face. Xiang Zeng¡¯s reputation within the Martial Arts Association was not great. There wasn¡¯t any special reason for this. It was simply because Xiang Zeng, as the son of the Sect Master of Power Sect, was very weak. He had many advantages over others, butcked the talent to match them. This was the original sin. In the strength-oriented Power Sect, this was even more so. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng nodded. Ever sincest night, Xiang Zeng kept himself locked in his room. Until Zhao Zhenfeng was about to leave, he hadn¡¯te out again. Zhao Zhenfeng didn¡¯t bother to pay him any attention. Even through the closed door, he could still hear Xiang Zeng¡¯s heartbeat. As long as Xiang Zeng didn¡¯t run around, He didn¡¯t care about the rest. ¡°Your most important task now is to ensure that he gets on the ne.¡± ¡°If he cries and makes a fuss, asking you to take him to see someone or go to Quanjiang City, you must not agree, understand?¡± Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s expression was extremely serious. Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng immediately straightened his chest and put on a serious face. ¡°I promise toplete Brother Zhao¡¯s instructions.¡± By now, he was used to Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s lively demeanor. Without saying much, he waved his hand, and directly left the hotel. Behind Zhao Zhenfeng, Zhou Zheng squeezed out a smile on his face, waving goodbye. It wasn¡¯t until Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s figure disappeared from sight that Zhou Zheng quickly lowered his hand. Then, He anxiously walked towards the lobby elevator with his luggage in hand. As for the matter of the Sect Master¡¯s son bing an idiot. When he first learned about it, he almostughed himself breathless. Now he didn¡¯t want to wait a second longer to see it with his own eyes. One minuteter. Lijing Hotel, eighteenth floor. In front of Xiang Zeng¡¯s room. Knock, knock. The knocking sounded. As soon as Zhou Zheng came out of the elevator, he couldn¡¯t wait toe to Xiang Zeng¡¯s room without even putting down his luggage. He wanted to see what Xiang Zeng, now an idiot, looked like. After anxiously waiting for several seconds, There was a click. The room door slowly opened. Within Zhou Zheng¡¯s narrow eyes, the anticipation in his eyes became even brighter. ¡°Zhou Zheng?¡± ¡°So it¡¯s you who¡¯s taking over?¡± However, What Zhou Zheng didn¡¯t expect was that The Xiang Zeng before him looked nothing like the crooked-nosed, nt-eyed, idiot he had imagined. Although his head was wrapped in bandages, making him look somewhat ridiculous, His expression was calm, and his eyes were clear. Where was the idiocy? Wasn¡¯t this the same old Xiang Zeng?! What happened to the idiot they talked about?! The ns to have a goodugh failed, leaving Zhou Zheng standing in ce for a moment, forgetting to answer. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you, didn¡¯t you hear?¡± It wasn¡¯t until Xiang Zeng furrowed his brows and his tone carried a hint of displeasure, that Zhou Zheng finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly put down his luggage and put on the ttering smile he used when facing Zhao Zhenfeng. His originally taller figure naturally bent down as well. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Junior Brother Xiang.¡± ¡°When I heard¡ I was too eager to see how you were doing.¡± As he spoke, As if to prove that he genuinely cared about Xiang Zeng, Zhou Zheng shook the luggage in his hand. ¡°See, I didn¡¯t even have time to put down my luggage.¡± Xiang Zeng¡¯s expression finally softened a bit. Zhou Zheng¡¯s character was extremely well-known within the Power Sect. For those with higher status and position than himself, he was capable of exhausting all means of ttery. Just to establish a good rtionship. ¡°Thanks.¡± still, Although Xiang Zeng was thanking him, his expression remained gloomy. ¡°Where¡¯s Zhao Zhenfeng? He stared into Zhou Zheng¡¯s eyes, asking. The recovery ability of Qi-sensors was very powerful. With Xiang Zeng¡¯s cultivation of Ant¡¯s Breath, his vitality was extremely strong. Therefore, within two days, Xiang Zeng¡¯s consciousness gradually recovered. There was still a gappared to a normal person, but it was enough for him to recall his disgust for Zhao Zhenfeng. Thinking back to the past few days when he had been calling Zhao Zhenfeng ¡°Senior Brother¡± eagerly, Xiang Zeng felt a churning in his stomach. ¡°Brother Zhao has already set off for the Sealed Land.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to take you to the airport, Junior Brother Xiang.¡± As he spoke, Zhou Zheng slightly stretched his neck, looking past Xiang Zeng¡¯s shoulder into the room. ¡°Junior Brother Xiang, have you packed your things?¡± ¡°You¡¯re injured, the most pressing matter is to return to Kyoto and recover as soon as possible.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s anything you need help with, just ask, I¡¯ll do my best.¡± As he spoke, Zhou Zheng had already withdrawn his gaze, his face full of concern. As if the person who, just a minute ago, had hurried upstairs, ready tough at Xiang Zeng¡¯s misfortune, was not him. Hearing this, Looking at Zhou Zheng¡¯s face full of concern, ¡°Any favor?¡± Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes shed with a glint. ¡°As long as I can do it, absolutely!¡± Zhou Zheng pounded his chest with a resounding thud. ¡°Help me kill someone.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not possible..¡± Chapter 166 - 166: 151: Setting Off and Persuading Zhou Zheng Chapter 166 - 166: 151: Setting Off and Persuading Zhou Zheng Trantor: 549690339 The words had just fallen. Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyebrows raised, and he was about to erupt. Zhou Zheng hurriedly exined. ¡°Junior brother, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help.¡± ¡°I have a rough idea of who you want me to kill.¡± ¡°However, Brother Zhao said before he left that we should avoid causing trouble.¡± Having said that, Xiang Zeng¡¯s face remained icy. Zhou Zheng took out his phone directly. ¡°How about I call Brother Zhao and ask?¡± p! Xiang Zeng¡¯s palm shot out, stopping Zhou Zheng¡¯s actions. A hint of fear unconsciously shed through his eyes. It was obvious that, the past few days when he was acting like a mentally challenged person had left some side effects on Xiang Zeng. ¡°Get lost.¡± ¡°Call me when I¡¯m done.¡± Having said that, Zhou Zheng didn¡¯t have a chance to react. Bang! The room door mmed shut, almost hitting Zhou Zheng¡¯s nose. ¡°Junior brother Xiang, please rest assured. After some time, I will definitely handle this matter for you!¡± Zhou Zheng, who was almost hit by Xiang Zeng¡¯s mming door, wasn¡¯t annoyed. Instead, he was still promising at the door, trying to win back some favor. Unfortunately, Xiang Zeng had no intention of responding to him. In the room, Xiang Zeng sat on the bed with an extremely gloomy face. His eyes flickered with strange colors, as if he was thinking about something. The recovery of his sanity, did not reduce Xiang Zeng¡¯s suspicion of Chen Sheng in the slightest. On the contrary, he had a very strong intuition. Chen Sheng must be the murderer who attacked him. The next day after the Power Sect reced Chen Sheng¡¯s Martial Arts Conference prize, he arrived in Haizhou City and was attacked directly. Li Hengkong and another person went to Quanjiang City to inform the local martial arts sects about the Power Sect¡¯s reform measures, and the first stop was Chen Sheng¡¯s Eagle Body Sect. As a result, the two of them had just entered Quanjiang City when they disappeared. Afterwards, when Zhao Zhenfeng was about to take action against Chen Sheng, the people from Yihe Gate suddenly appeared, which made Zhao Zhenfeng not dare to act too tantly. During this time, everything that had happened shed through Xiang Zeng¡¯s mind. He found that each incident, althoughcking clear evidence, could be connected to Chen Sheng. If this happened once, it might be a coincidence. But if it happened several times, it is very likely not! Thinking of how he was almost killed, and how he had acted like a mentally challenged person, calling Brother Zhao over and over again, even being frightened to tears and wetting himself. Xiang Zeng¡¯s facial features gradually became distorted and ferocious. ¡°You bastard!¡± ¡°I will kill you!¡± The cold words were torced out trom between his teeth, one by one. Murderous intent surged in Xiang Zeng¡¯s eyes. At this moment, he couldn¡¯t wait to rush to Quanjiang City and skin Chen Sheng alive. However, Xiang Zeng was very clear that relying solely on himself, not only could he not kill Chen Sheng, but he might even be killed by Chen Sheng instead. The day the attack happened, he could only hold on for a few dozen seconds in front of his opponent. Moreover, If Li Hengkong was also killed by Chen Sheng, there might be additional help for Chen Sheng in Quanjiang City. Thinking of this, the figure of Shen Ziming appeared in Xiang Zeng¡¯s mind. Although this new disciple of Yihe Gate had a mysterious identity and had never shown his true strength, the fact that he was valued by Sun Yihe, an old dog, meant that he was not simple. He¡ must also find help. With that thought, Xiang Zeng slowly raised his head. His bloodshot eyes stared at the wall in front of him. Listening to the heartbeating from the adjacent room, Xiang Zeng¡¯s bloodshot eyes asionally shed with contemtive expressions. After ten minutes. In the neighboring room, after Zhao Zhenfeng left, the room naturally belonged to Zhou Zheng. Before Zhou Zheng arrived, the hotel maid had already reced the bedding and daily necessities in the room and cleaned it. Thinking that he might need to stay in Fuhai Province for a while, Zhou Zheng had brought all sorts of things in his luggage. Now, after packing his luggage, Zhou Zheng sat on the bed and turned on his phone. On the phone, Zhao Zhenfeng sent Xiang Zeng¡¯s flight information. After a quick nce, Zhou Zheng sighed lightly and got up to go to Xiang Zeng¡¯s door. Knock, knock. The knock on the door sounded. ¡°Junior Brother Xiang, your flight is almostte. How about¡ I take you to the airport first?¡± As the words fell, the room was still tightly closed. Zhou Zheng rubbed his temples, feeling a bit irritable. It just so happened that the troublesome matters in Fuhai Province fell on him. He wanted to learn from Zhao Zhenfeng, to barge in directly without care or concern, then drag Xiang Zeng to the airport. But the other party was the son of the Sect Master of Power Sect. Even if he was just a useless person. It¡¯s not something that he, an ordinary Elder¡¯s disciple, can easily neglect. Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng closed his eyes and suppressed the irritation in his heart. ¡°Junior Brother Xiang, you can rest assured.¡± Zhou Zheng knocked on the room door, prepared to persuade. ¡°No matter who attacked you, as long as they are still in Fuhai Province, I will eventually help you¡ªI¡® Before he could finish, Click! The room door opened. ¡°Two Spirit Seeds, given to you alone. Plus, you only need to verify if Chen Sheng was the attacker. If not, I won¡¯t force you to kill him.¡± Xiang Zeng stood at the doorway, his eyes staring intently at Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng immediately understood what the other party wanted. He looked helpless. ¡°Junior Brother Xiang, it¡¯s not about the Spirit Seeds, it¡¯s just that¡ª¡± ¡°Two Spirit Seeds, top-tier ones. I can also lighten your workload, so you have more time to cultivate.¡± ¡°Enough, there¡¯s no need to keep talking, no matter what you say, I still won¡¯t¡ª¡± ¡°I can let you choose one of my father¡¯s treasured cultivation techniques and¡ ¡® ¡°Stop, Junior Brother, don¡¯t continue¡ª¡± ¡°Breathing Techniques. ¡± ¡°Let me see how to change the ticket.¡± Zhou Zheng took out his phone and quickly tapped the screen. What really moved Zhou Zheng was the Breathing Techniques collected by the Sect Master of the Power Sect. The Breathing Techniques within the Power Sect are mostly focused on enhancing strength. However, there are different levels of them. As a disciple of an elder, the Breathing Techniques he practiced were not so far off, butpared to the ancient Breathing Techniques that Xiang Li had collected over the years, they were naturally inferior. Powerful Breathing Techniques not only allowed cultivators to maximize their in-body potential but also granted them divine-like powers. However, only Xiang Li and his disciples qualified to practice these high-level Breathing Techniques. Disciples like Zhou Zheng had no chance to even touch them. Therefore, when Xiang Zeng said he could choose a Breathing Technique collected by the Sect Master, Zhou Zheng agreed without hesitation. It¡¯s not that he had no bottom line, it¡¯s just that the other party offered too much. ¡°Done.¡± In a short while, he raised his head, and a ttering smile appeared on his face again. ¡°Junior Brother Xiang, I changed the ticket to tonight. The round trip time should be about the same.¡± ¡°Shall we¡leave now?¡± Upon hearing this, Xiang Zeng¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, looking at Zhou Zheng who was kowtowing in front of him. This was the treatment he, the son of the Sect Master of the Power Sect deserved. In the past days, facing Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s lifeless face and feeling disoriented, he almost forgot his own identity. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Since Zhou Zheng had already agreed, Xiang Zeng didn¡¯t want to dy even for a moment. Zhou Zheng quickly followed. ¡°But Junior Brother, I have to say it in advance.¡± ¡°If we find out that he¡¯s the murderer, it¡¯s best to control him first and wait for the public announcement to make a final decision, so as not to give others a chance to criticize.¡± ¡°But if he¡¯s not the murderer, we don¡¯t have much time to spend in Fuhai Province. ¡± ¡°The premise of my help is not to cause any adverse effects on the Power Sect, understood?¡± As they walked, Zhou Zheng was afraid that Xiang Zeng would make unreasonable demandster, so he decided to set some ground rules. When he said this, his expression was unprecedentedly serious. ¡°I know, I know.¡± Hearing this, Xiang Zeng waved his hand, looking impatient. Power Sect, Power Sect, it¡¯s always about the Power Sect. No matter if it¡¯s his own father, that expressionless Zhao Zhenfeng, or the bottomless Zhou Zheng and other people within the Power Sect, whenever it¡¯s matters regarding the Power Sect, they will changepletely, willing to do anything contrary to their nature and desires. From childhood to adulthood, such words had already made Xiang Zeng tired of hearing them. Regarding Zhou Zheng¡¯s words, Xiang Zeng didn¡¯t take them to heart at all. In his eyes, if Chen Sheng was caught, he would definitely not surrender easily. By then, identally killing a fugitive shouldn¡¯t be considered excessive, right? As for whether Zhou Zheng could handle Chen Sheng or not, Xiang Zeng wasn¡¯t too worried. Although the other party¡¯s talent was not as good as Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s and their strength was inferior, but he was a veteran disciple of the Power Sect, far stronger than Chen Sheng¡¯s strength disyed during the attack and that of Li Hengkong. Chen Sheng? He was just amb waiting to be ughtered now. Even if he was with that new disciple from the Yihe Gate, Xiang Zeng would make every effort to force Chen Sheng to disy the same deep blue lines from that day. As long as it is confirmed that he was the attacker, Chen Sheng¡¯s death would be certain. Thinking about this, Xiang Zeng¡¯s mouth twitched, revealing a hideously sinister smile on his face.. Chapter 167 - 152: Visiting and Changing the Mindset Chapter 167: Chapter 152: Visiting and Changing the Mindset Trantor: 549690339 Two hourster. Quanjiang City. Yinghui Grocery Store. As Xiang Zeng raised his palm and mmed it down. After a brief pause. Whoosh! Amidst the harsh friction sound, the rolling shutter door instantly transformed into countless iron pieces, piercing through the ss door behind and sshing into the grocery store. Inside the grocery store, all the tables and merchandise on the shelves were all pierced by the flying debris. For a moment, The harsh rm sound apanied by the sound of ss shattering echoed within the alley. It seems that this Chen Sheng is quite vignt. Zhou Zheng dug his ear and wore a thoughtful expression on his face. His gaze swept past Xiang Zengs shoulder and quickly scanned the dimly-lit grocery store interior. Immediately afterward, Zhou Zheng softly stomped his foot. Whoosh! A piece of broken ss instantly cut through the air and shot towards the rm system inside the grocery store. With a bang sound, The harsh rm sound instantly disappeared. Finally, The alley resumed its tranquility. Xiang Zengs face was solemn and he remained silent. He nced at the stores situation, confirming that there was no one there, and withdrew his gaze immediately. He stepped forward, His footnding on the ss, making a crunch sound. Xiang Zeng advanced towards the deep end of the grocery store. Zhou Zheng followed. Passing by the kitchen, Xiang Zeng sniffed. The smell of spirit medicine. Not long ago, someone was boiling spirit medicine here. He took a quick nce at the kitchen, Confirming that there were no traces of anyone there, he immediately withdrew his gaze and continued heading in the direction of the backyard. Hmm? As soon as he entered the backyard, Xiang Zengs brows furrowed instantly. The look on Zhou Zhengs face behind him also inevitably revealed a trace of astonishment. Junior brother , Have we been beaten to it? Looking around, the ce was a mess. The entire open space in the backyard was covered with cracked bricks and debris. It seemed that there had been a great war here before. Could it be that someone else is looking for Chen Sheng? With such questions, Xiang Zengs gaze swept around, seemingly looking for useful clues. But soon, his gaze froze. In Xiang Zengs eyes, a green fluorescence was reflected. The spiritual medicine field in a corner of the backyard was the only area that hadnt been destroyed by Chen Sheng. On the spiritual medicine field, more than a dozen brightly glowing spirit medicines stood upright side by side. Without any hesitation, Xiang Zeng quickly approached, And stopped in front of the spiritual medicine field. He took one nce and immediately found his target. Following that, Xiang Zeng squatted down and inserted his hand into the soil. When he pulled his hand out, He was already holding a section of a tree root emitting a strong spiritual light. Is this A trace of surprise shed in Xiang Zengs eyes, And Zhou Zheng behind him wore the same expression. Such a high-quality spirit seed The reason for this reaction from both of them was the incredibly high quality of the spirit seed before them, considered to be the best of the best. Even with Xiang Zengs status, he had only seen such high-quality spirit medicine once or twice in his own fathers private spiritual medicine field. It should be noted that, As the physical attributes of martial artists continue to increase, the resources needed for cultivation would also be greater. Even for a major sect like the Power Sect, spirit medicine is not a resource that can be squandered freely. High -quality spirit seeds are extremely valuable, both for individuals and groups. Like the spirit seed in Xiang Zengs hand, It was enough to support the cultivation of a strong martial artist like the Sect Master of the Power Sect. The resulting spirit medicine also had far better effects than ordinary spirit medicine , It was truly a priceless treasure. Junior brother do we? Looking at the spirit seed in Xiang Zengs hand, Zhou Zheng couldnt help but swallow his saliva. He was merely a disciple of an elder and had far less ess to spirit medicine resources than Xiang Zeng, let alone Zhao Zhenfeng. If he could get his hands on such a high-quality spirit seed Wait a moment. Before Zhou Zheng could offer his suggestion, he was interrupted by Xiang Zeng. His eyes were filled with surprise, as if he was considering something. What did the Eagle Body Sect do to deserve such a top-grade spirit seed?eastern fantasy There must be some other way of obtaining it. At this moment, An image emerged in Xiang Zengs mind. Shen Ziming. Before this, he had suspected that this new disciple of the Yihe Gate might have some connection with Chen Sheng. Upon seeing this spirit seed, Xiang Zeng became increasingly certain of the guess in his heart. In all of China, there really werent many who could produce such a top-notch spirit seed. At least not among those Xiang Zheng had seen or heard of. At the very least, it required the level of a sect belonging to the Martial Arts Association Committee to possess one. With this thought, Xiang Zhengs n for dealing with Chen Sheng gradually changed from killing him outright to capturing him for interrogation. If he could extract information from Chen Sheng, and even get Chen Sheng to admit that the spirit seed was a reward from Shen Ziming of Yihe Gate for hiring him to attack Xiang Zheng. Maybe.. there would be an unexpected surprise. A glint shed in Xiang Zhengs eyes. If this spirit seed was really given to Chen Sheng by Shen Ziming. Then the Power Sect could use this as an excuse to pressure Yihe Gate to give an exnation. If they cannot exin. Then it would be a disciple of Yihe Gate colluding with others to attack the disciples of the Power Sect. If this usation could be sessfully pinned on Yihe Gate. Then even if their Sect Leader, Sun Yihe, was a long-time brother of the Chairman of Martial Arts Association, there would undoubtedly be consequences. Now, lets see if Chen Sheng wille back. If he learns of the situation and flees in advance Xiang Zheng slowly got up. He was about to hand the spirit seed to Zhou Zheng. But at that moment. The voice from the entrance of the courtyard interrupted his words. Dont worry. Im not going anywhere. Whoosh! Both of them turned their heads to look. The figure of Chen Sheng appeared before their eyes. Huh? The instant they saw him, A hint of confusion shed across Xiang Zhengs face. The Chen Sheng in front of them differed greatly from the attacker in his memory. The Chen Sheng in front of them appeared to be just over one point eight meters tall and quite thin. However, the man who attacked him that day was at least one point nine meters tall even without entering the Breathing Method state and had a more imposing build. Are you Chen Sheng? Xiang Zheng frowned deeply. At this moment, Due to the dramatic change in Chen Shengs body, Xiang Zheng, who was initially certain that the other party was the attacker, could not help but waver in his heart. But soon, He reaffirmed his thoughts. After all, There were too many ways to change ones appearance in this world. Perhaps the other party had deliberately disguised himself when attacking him. Its me. Facing Xiang Zhengs question, Chen Sheng admitted without any concealment. At the same time, His gaze swept over the evidently hostile duo. Xiang Zheng. He had once killed him, Although he didnt know how he came back to life, his attributes had not changed much and were not worth mentioning. As for the other one Chen Shengs gazended on Zhou Zheng. The other partys attribute panel appeared before his eyes. [Zhou Zheng] [Strength:124] [Agility:117] [Constitution:119] He was also not worth mentioning. After quickly scanning the other partys attributes and confirming there was no threat, Chen Sheng no longer paid attention to them. Thus, Chen Sheng looked towards the palm of Xiang Zhengs hand. To be precise, it was the spirit seed in his hand. What are you trying to do with my stuff? A hint of coldness appeared in Chen Shengs eyes. At the same time, He took a step forward and slowly approached the duo. I want to ask you where you got this from? Xiang Zheng raised the spirit seed in his hand and shook it slightly, his eyes fixed on With Zhou Zheng by his side now, He appeared veryposed against the suspected attacker Chen Sheng. A friend gave it to me. Which friend? Is it any of your business? Chen Sheng stood firm, facing Xiang Zhengs intimidating gaze, two meters away from him. The reason for not getting closer was due to the figure blocking his way. Zhou Zheng. He was tall and not much shorter than Chen Sheng before his breakthrough. Now, standing between the two, he blocked Chen Shengs line of sightpletely. Chen Sheng, right? Hello, my name is Zhou Zheng, a disciple of the Power Sect. Please maintain a certain distance. For your own safetys sake. Although Zhou Zhengs face still had a smile, It waspletely different from when he faced Zhao Zhenfeng and Xiang Zheng. The words were filled with an undeniable sense of refusal.. Chapter 168 - 153: Coercion and Seeking Death Chapter 168: Chapter 153: Coercion and Seeking Death Trantor: 549690339 If you cant exin and provide relevant evidence to prove the legality of the origin of this Spirit Seed Nowadays, Xiang Zeng no longer had the idea of killing Chen Sheng in his heart. In his opinion, the other party was just an insignificant little person. If he dies, it would just soothe his anger. But if the other party stays alive and personally identifies that the pir tree Spirit Seed was given to him by someone from Yihe Gate as a reward for attacking him Then, The benefits it can bring to the Power Sect, and even the benefits it can bring to Xiang Zeng himself Are worth much more than Chen Shengs life. Even It could reverse his reputation within the Power Sect. At present. As long as Chen Shengs identity as the attacker is confirmed, the next thing will be much simpler. Thinking of this, Xiang Zengs mouth couldnt help but raise an upward arc. He was toozy to say anything more to Chen Sheng. Senior Brother. Xiang Zeng called out. Zhou Zheng smiled slightly. Chen Sheng. Please show us your Breathing State. The faint threatening light flickered in Zhou Zhengs narrow eyes. Remember not to conceal anything. Otherwise, I may have to use some extraordinary means. At that time, the scene may be very ugly. As soon as the voice fell, The sound like steel friction that made peoples teeth sour began to echo in the backyard. The source of the sound was Chen Shengs shoulder. It was the sound made by Zhou Zheng trying to tighten his palm. Huh? Zhou Zhengs brows raised slightly, a trace of surprise shing in his eyes. Although he didnt use much strength. But with his strength, even if it was only three or four times, it wasnt something Chen Sheng could have endured at the Martial Arts Conference. But now, He intended to crush Chen Shengs bones first, but it seemed a bit difficult? You really arent simple. Zhou Zhengs gaze condensed, Upholding a cautious attitude. Inhale He didnt hesitate at all and directly took a deep breath to enter the Breathing Method state. Heavy and powerful heartbeat sounded, apanied by a series of crisp sounds of bones colliding. Zhou Zhengs body swelled and grew taller at a visible speed. In just one breath, He turned from a wretched-looking young man into a giant nearly three meters tall. Compared to Chen Shengs previous Breathing State, Zhou Zhengs Breathing State seemed very deformed. His whole body muscles were knotted, his skin rough, and he stood in front of Chen Sheng like a huge concrete wall. But just like this, Chen Sheng would not describe the other party with the word deformed. What is really terrifying is, Those two thick arms hanging down beside Zhou Zheng, which are extremely disproportionate to his body. The thick green tendons are like old tree roots, traversing the surface of the skin. The bluestone-colored chunky muscles, like metal casting, keep stacking up, making Zhou Zhengs arm width reach an astonishing level. The width of a single arm is enough to cover Chen Sheng, who is now shrinking in size. If any normal person stood in front of such a huge and deformed monster, they would probably be scared to piss by its appearance and terrifying aura. Rumble- Zhou Zheng slowly squatted down, Dont be afraid. As long as you honestly follow what I say, I wont do anything to you. While talking, Zhou Zheng slowly squatted down and adjusted his line of sight to be parallel with He grinned, and his voice became very muffled. There were dense and violently raised veins all over his face. Combined with his smile at the moment, it looked very ugly. Chen Sheng, now you can start- While talking, Zhou Zheng slowly squatted down, making his head parallel to Chen Sheng. The thick arm dragged on the ground, like an excavator, plowing a deep trench on the ground. His arms were in a wraparound position, as if intending to surround Chen Sheng. Step. However, Zhou Zheng hadnt finished speaking. A foot suddenly stepped on his arm. Chen Sheng looked at the ground that was already severely damaged and now even more messed up by Zhou Zheng. His face became even more gloomy. He slowly raised his head. The cold gaze stared at Zhou Zheng. For some reason, Even though Chen Shengs body looked very small, Being stared at by his gaze, Zhou Zhengs heart actually shuddered unconsciously. Huh?! He tried to lift his arm to shake off Chen Shengs foot. But strangely. Compared to Zhou Zhengs arm, Chen Shengs legs were like a small toothpick. But it was just such a toothpick that could actually block his arm, making it impossible for him to lift it up. What a joke?! Zhou Zhengs pupils shrank. The breathing techniques he practiced were Elephants Breath and Apes Breath. Both of these breathing techniques greatly enhanced the strength of the upper limbs. Zhou Zheng had fully cultivated them to perfection, and only then had he such terrifying arms when entering the Breathing State. But now, Chen Sheng clearly had not even entered the Breathing State. How could he so effortlessly intercept his arm?! At first, Zhou Zheng was somewhat apprehensive. He was afraid that his full strength would identally kill Chen Sheng. But now, The strength disyed by Chen Sheng at the moment has far surpassed his expectations. The opponents strength, may be on par with him, or even surpass him! Junior brother, back off! Zhou Zhengs face quickly lost its calm expression and turned serious. He turned his head and sternly scolded Xiang Zeng. Xiang Zeng had a confused look on his face at the moment. His vision had already been blocked by Zhou Zhengs huge body, and he didnt know about the subtle struggle between Zhou Zheng and Chen Sheng- But judging from Zhou Zhengs expression. It was clear that the development of the situation was somewhat beyond expectations. As a result, Xiang Zeng chose to obey. He pushed off the ground, his figure leaped directly onto the roof, his face full of astonishment as he watched the two people below. At the same time. Zhou Zheng could no longer hold back his strength. Rumbling sounds constantly came from the ground. Entering two Breathing States, Zhou Zhengs attribute value had already be so terrifying that it could surpass Chen Shengs basic attributes! Therefore, Under his full strength, Boom! Bricks and stones flew, and the ground suddenly copsed. The thick arm forcibly pried Chen Shengs foot and lifted it high. The huge shadow instantly enveloped,pletely covering Chen Shengs body. Chen Sheng. I was still a bit unsure when Junior Brother Xiang mentioned it earlier, whether you were the attacker or not. But now I have to say, youve hidden it really well! As he said this, Zhou Zhengs eyes shed with murderous intent, and his other arm also raised high. Seeing the huge fist-like hammer about to fall, it was about to smash Chen Sheng into a pulp. Damn. Thump. Thump. Thump. Zhou Zheng heard a curse from under his body. Immediately afterward, It was a series of thunderous heartbeats echoing in the courtyard. Looking at the increasingly broken backyard due to the struggle between the two, Chen Shengs face grew increasingly gloomy. Why must you seek death here. Why cant you die obediently outside. Listening to Chen Shengs mumbling, it seemed as if killing the two of them would not be difficult. Zhou Zhengs eyes couldnt help but sh with anger. Die? Let me see, where did you get the confidence to make me die! As soon as his words fell, The brick surface under Zhou Zhengs feet could not bear the pressure, constantly cracking and sttering. With the two people as the center, a fierce wind suddenly arose. Amid the howling sounds, the two fists mmed down towards Chen Sheng! Senior brother, be careful with your power! Xiang Zeng on the roof had not personally experienced the power demonstrated by just now. Seeing Zhou Zheng actually preparing to apply his full strength, He couldnt help but shout out in a hurry. Although Zhou Zheng was good at agreeing with people and had no bottom line, His strength was still considered high among the disciples of Power Sect. With a full-strength punch from him, Chen Sheng would definitely be beaten to a pulp. How could they interrogate him then? And how could they use Chen Sheng to use Yihe Gate? However,eastern fantasy Xiang Zengs persuasion had no effect at all. Zhou Zhengs fists didnt show any signs of slowing down. In the blink of an eye, Chen Shengs body waspletely covered. With a ripping sound. Blood sttered. For fucks sake Listening to the sound ringing in his ears, Xiang Zeng couldnt help but curse. Such a great opportunity to deal with Yihe Gate was messed up by Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng, what the hell are you Xiang Zengs face was full of anger as he was about to question Zhou Zheng. But the next second, He heard a sharp howling sound in his ear. A thick and ferocious arm flew up and smashed towards his direction.. Chapter 169 - 169: 154: Killing and Preparing to Depart Chapter 169 - 169: 154: Killing and Preparing to Depart Trantor: 549690339 What on earth?! Xiang Zeng¡¯s face showed stark terror. In his line of sight, the thick, grotesque arm kept erging. The huge wind pressure made his face contorted and malformed. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached Xiang Zeng in front of him, he had no time to react. Out of desperation, ¡°Inhale¡ª¡± Xiang Zeng instantly triggered the breathing state, reaching out to catch this muscr arm. Yet. Then there was a gulp sound. Xiang Zeng had just caught the arm when an indescribable force transmitted through the arm and swept through his entire body in an instant. His face showed horror, and he spat out fresh blood from his mouth. Thud, thud, thud! The residual force on his arm pushed Xiang Zeng back continuously. His feet plowed through the roof¡¯s tiles like a hoe, scattering them. Not until the edge of the roof. Crrash! The muscr arm fell with a bang, smashing straight into the house. Xiang Zeng lowered his head to look at his trembling palm. Just catching this arm, he had already used all his strength. His palm was already ground into a bloody mess, he could even vaguely see the bone. ¡°What exactly¡. is happening?¡± If he hadn¡¯t mistaken. The arm that just struck him was Zhou Zheng s? Could it be??! Suppressing the extreme pain, Xiang Zeng quickly lifted his head, casting his gaze into the courtyard. In his eyes, Was immediately filled with terror. Inhale¡ª Exhale¡ª Inhale¡ª Just simple breathes stirred up a fierce wind the racked with havoc. Countless broken stones and bricks in the fierce wind continually struck everything in the backyard, creating a nging sound. In the center of the courtyard, Previously, Zhou Zheng, who looked hideous and ferocious, was now kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. His sturdy arms, one smashed into the house under Xiang Zeng. Another one was scattered not far from his side. Fresh blood welled up from the severed shoulder, spilling onto the ground like a stream. ¡°What¡. what kind of monster are you?¡± Feeling the cold murderous intention around him, enough to freeze his body. Zhou Zheng slowly raised his head, looking at Chen Sheng in front of him with fear, and asked shakingly. Originally standing at 1.8 meters, his height shot up to more than 2 meters. The muscles like old tree roots were entrenched all around his body. On his skin, there were deep blue turtle shell patterns engraved on it. Inside the patterns, it seemed that there was transparent water slowly flowing. Chen Sheng¡¯s pupils were also filled with clear, deep-sea-like color. Just looking at it scared people stiff. Now, Chen Sheng, in this state, had undoubtedly revealed his identity as the attacker to Xiang Zeng. However, Whether Xiang Zeng or Zhou Zheng, At this moment, they didn¡¯t care about this situation at all in their hearts. In their minds, there was only one thought left. How¡ to escape? ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to see my breathing state?¡± ¡°Now¡.are you satisfied?¡± With the sound of Chen Sheng¡¯s words, The roar of the raging winds around them grew stronger, the sound was deafening. The strong wind brushed Zhou Zheng¡¯s cheeks, scraping out streaks of blood. Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to respond, Chen Sheng reached out his arm and gently gripped Zhou Zheng¡¯s skull. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°It will be over soon.¡± As the words fell. Zhou Zheng suddenly felt the wide palm that was covering both sides of his skull began to slowly close. Zhou Zheng¡¯s pupils instantly dted. ¡°Junior Brother¡ªescape!! ! ¡± St! Blood sttered once again. Red and white stuff sshed around, staining the ruins around a bit red. Chen Sheng loosened his hand and immediately exited the breathing state. Zhou Zheng¡¯s body also fell to the ground. Returning to his normal size, Chen Sheng looked up at the roof. Up there, Xiang Zeng was still standing in ce, motionless like a stiff puppet. The expression of terror congealed on Xiang Zeng¡¯s face. Zhou Zheng¡¯sst yell couldn¡¯t be added in time and was drowned out by the howling winds. But he wasn¡¯t blind. He saw Zhou Zheng, who was much stronger than him, had his head directly crushed without any resistance. Xiang Zeng wished he could get away from Chen Sheng as far as possible and never see him again. However¡. His legs were weak. Yes. Perhaps it was due to his brain not being fully recovered, or Chen Sheng¡¯s Xuanwu transformation was truly terrifying. When Xiang Zeng wanted tomand his legs to quickly get away from Chen Sheng. His legs weren¡¯t cooperating at all. He could only watch as Chen Sheng lightly leapt up. Soon after, Bam! A brick shard smashed onto Xiang Zeng¡¯s face. However, he felt nothing, and just stared nkly at Chen Sheng in front of him. ¡°1 Before he could finish his sentence. Chen Sheng raised his hand and swung it. Bam. It happened a second time. Xiang Zeng immediately followed in Zhou Zheng¡¯s footsteps. The headless body twisted, about to fall off the roof. Chen Sheng reached out and threw it directly into the backyard. With a ssh. The bodies of the two brothers from Power Sect piled up on each other. Standing on the roof, Chen Sheng looked at the backyard which resembled ruins, and couldn¡¯t help but frown and tut. Only a small portion of the damage was caused by Zhou Zheng entering his breathing state. The majority of the destruction was due to Chen Sheng initiating the Xuanwu Transformation. Now that his Profound and True Martial Arts had just broken through, he hadn¡¯t yet adapted to the drastic increase in physical strength. Every movement could easily cause damage to his surroundings. If possible, he truly didn¡¯t want to initiate the Xuanwu Transformation inside the grocery store. But now that things had settled, worrying about it was of no use. With that in mind, Chen Sheng jumped off the roof and walked towards his room without paying any attention to the corpse on the ground. The door to his room, too, had been shattered into pieces by the wild winds when he had initiated the Xuanwu Transformation. This saved him the trouble of opening the door. Upon entering the room, Chen Sheng took out several ck stic bags from the cab. He had anticipated, earlier on, that such situations might ur in the future. These sturdy ck stic bags were just right for such asions. so. Five minutester. When Shen Ziming, who was nning to embark with Chen Sheng, arrived at the backyard, he saw Chen Sheng tightly tying up two stic bags with a hemp rope amidst the ruins. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¡± Chen Sheng had already heard footsteps approaching and was unsurprised. In response to Shen Ziming¡¯s question, he didn¡¯t even raise his head. ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst time that you¡¯re quite familiar with hoeing? He pointed to the messy ground beside him. ¡°Do you have any tricks?¡± Shen Ziming¡¯s corner of the eye twitched. ¡°I¡¯ve only farmed before.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never learned how to clean up a battlefield.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you know once I¡¯ve learned it.¡± Chen Sheng looked at him in surprise. ¡°I find that since you¡¯ve returned to Quanjiang City, you¡¯ve be a lot livelier.¡± This was the first time Chen Sheng had heard Shen Ziming make a cheekyment. For a moment, he thought that the ghost of Zhou Li had possessed him. Upon hearing this, Shen Ziming didn¡¯t respond. But in his mind, several figures appeared. Thinking of these people, Shen Ziming couldn¡¯t help but massage his forehead. ¡°It¡¯s because of my environment, I have no choice.¡± As he said this, he stepped slowly towards Chen Sheng and helped him tighten the stic bags. ¡°Who are these two unlucky guys?¡± Worthy of Chen Sheng¡¯s borate disposal. Without looking, Shen Ziming knew what was in these bags. ¡°The son of the Sect Master of Power Sect and a sleazy guy.¡± Even until their death, Chen Sheng didn¡¯t remember Zhou Zheng¡¯s name. The normally steady hand of Shen Ziming trembled, showing a look of horror. ¡°Is it true? ¡± ¡°True. ¡± Shen Ziming was silent. His mind was racing, considering how to handle this situation. ¡°Just right, you¡¯ll go with me to the Sealed Land next. We can wait and see the reaction from the Power Sect.¡± ¡°If these two came without anyone else knowing, as long as there¡¯s no evidence, I can ask my master to protect you.¡± ¡°If the opposite happens¡ I¡¯ll find another way to get you out.¡± ¡°As for Zhou Li, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll arrange for the Wu¡¯an Bureau to protect him.¡± Ssh ¡°Thank you.¡± Chen Sheng picked up the stic bags and nodded his head in appreciation to Shen Ziming. ¡°Wait for me awhile, I¡¯m going to dispose of the trash.¡± Hearing of the serious consequences of killing Xiang Zeng, his expression remained unchanged. Saying this, Chen Sheng was about to walk out of the grocery store. ¡°I say, Brother Chen, aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Shen Ziming watched his retreating figure, feeling a bit perplexed. He¡¯s too calm. If he were in this situation and being targeted by a massive entity like the Power Sect, even with the backing of the Yihe Gate, he would inevitably have some worries. But from Chen Sheng, Shen Ziming saw no signs of concern. Step. Chen Sheng, who was preparing to leave the grocery store, halted his steps. ¡°I¡¯m just a bit fed up with this trash that keeps seeking death again and again.¡± ¡°As for them, I have already made up my mind for a total annihtion.¡± Upon hearing these words, Shen Ziming couldn¡¯t help but shiver. But before he could say anything, Chen Sheng¡¯s figure disappeared from the backyard. All that remained in the air was his voice. ¡°I¡¯ll be right back.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll set off..¡± Chapter 170 - 170: 155: Anomaly and Sealed Land Chapter 170 - 170: 155: Anomaly and Sealed Land Trantor: 549690339 At the junction of Fuhai Province and Linjiang Province. Urgent water flow surged, and the sound of sshing echoed continuously in the valley. On both sides of the river, towering, continuous mountain peaks surrounded it. Further out, there were dense primordial woods. In the past, Camping enthusiasts and donkey friends often came here to appreciate and experience the beauty of nature. But one week ago, due to the appearance of anomalies, personnel from the Martial Arts Association and the official started searching for the entrance of the Sealed Land around it. All entrances within several kilometers have been strictly controlled by the Wu¡¯an Bureau, refusing entry to all irrelevant personnel. During this time, some tourists did not heed the warnings and rushed in. Those with good luck were discovered by the Martial Arts Association and were sent out of the external world. Those with bad luck¡ would encounter others who also came to find the Sealed Land but did not belong to the Wu¡¯an Bureau or the Martial Arts Association, and disappeared. ¡°Sir, the precise location detected so far is at the bottom of theke five kilometers ahead.¡± In the woods. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A squad of about seven or eight people was shuttling through the trees at a fast pace. The leader was Zhao Zhenfeng, who had just arrived from Haizhou City. The Sealed Land was extraordinary. In addition to the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association in Kyoto, which needed to send personnel to explore, the local Martial Arts Association and Wu¡¯an Bureau also needed to dispatch more personnel for assistance. As for the dangers inside the Sealed Land, the martial artists from Kyoto could be responsible for dealing with them. Troubles from the outside world would be handled by the local martial artists and personnel from the Wu¡¯an Bureau. ¡°The specific location is still unclear¡¡± A young man of the same age as Zhao Zhenfeng, with a in appearance, followed closely behind, reporting the situation of exploring the Sealed Land in recent days. His name was Wang He, a martial artist from the Linjiang Province Martial Arts Association. This time, he was responsible for assisting Zhao Zhenfeng toplete the investigation and repair work of the Sealed Land. ¡°So, the exact entrance hasn¡¯t been found yet?¡± After Wang He finished reporting, Zhao Zhenfeng, who was in front of him, spoke up. There was a hint of displeasure in his tone. Usually, for the exploration of the Sealed Land, only three days are needed. But this time, it took seven days for the investigation, and now they were telling him that the specific entrance had not been found. ¡°Sorry.¡± Facing Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s question, Wang He could only lower his head and apologize. ¡°However, the specific range has been narrowed down to within ten meters, but due to the special terrain, our abilities are insufficient to¡¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Wang He¡¯s words were interrupted by Zhao Zhenfeng directly. Whoosh! Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he left Wang He and everyone else behind. Wang He¡¯s gaze followed Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s shrinking figure, gradually disappearing. ¡°Hey.¡± ¡°This young master from Kyoto is really different.¡± ¡°Of course, he thinks he is not in the same ss as us, so he is toozy to talk to us country folks.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just having a good master, more resources, and cultivation techniques? If we also had¡¡± ¡°Alright, alright, they were born with a golden spoon, how can wepare with them? The more we say, the sadder we get.¡± Wang He¡¯srades from Linjiang Province watched Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s departure and spoke sarcastically. Among them, there were people of all age groups. Some were the same age as Sect Master Xiang Li of the Power Sect. There were also those who were younger than Zhao Zhenfeng. But without exception, they were all the cream of the crop in the Linjiang Province martial arts world. Their hearts held some disapproval of Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s performance. ¡°Stop talking.¡± Wang He turned his head and scolded everyone. ¡°It¡¯s genuinely our fault that we haven¡¯t been able to find the exact entrance.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t scold us, which is already quite good.¡± Under his scolding, the group behind him immediately shut their mouths, saying no more. Wang He was the number one young martial artist of Linjiang Province. He was also the champion of the Martial Arts Conference in Linjiang Province this year. Therefore, with him leading this expedition, everyone was willing to follow him wholeheartedly. Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang He continued to look ahead. However , in a perspective that the others couldn¡¯t see, Wang He looked in the direction Zhao Zhenfeng had gone, his face showing some dissatisfaction as well. As the number one young martial artist of Linjiang Province, he had his own pride. Today was his first encounter with a martial artist from Kyoto of the same age, and the opponent was a prestigious direct disciple of the Power Sect. Wang He wanted tomunicate with Zhao Zhenfeng and learn what made martial artists from Kyoto so strong. Unfortunately, although Zhao Zhenfeng seemed polite on the surface. However, the tone of the conversation was cold, as if they didn¡¯t want to talk much to them. Now they had gone even further and left them behind. It was impossible for Wang He not to be affected by this. That being said, he couldn¡¯t let it disrupt the Martial Arts Association¡¯s n. ¡°We mustplete the tasks assigned to us by the Association.¡± ¡°At the very least, don¡¯t let the people from Kyoto look down on us.¡± As soon as Wang He said this, the martial artists behind him were all invigorated, and they shouted together in agreement. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t keep the others waiting for too long.¡± ¡°Alright¡± As the words fell, Wang He¡¯s speed also increased a lot. It was not in any way weaker than Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s speed before. Seeing this, the men behind him could only grit their teeth, speed up, and strive not to be left behind. Boom boom boomSoon, they were already approaching their destination. The light above their heads gradually dimmed. The thunderous rumble from the horizon was heard faintly. Wang He looked up and his expression became extremely serious. At the end of his line of sight, thick and oppressive dark clouds dispersed the sunlight and covered the entire sky. In the dark clouds, numerous thick thunder-snakes leaped and seemed to weigh heavily on one¡¯s heart just by looking at them. Drip-drop. Drip-drop. Raindrops fell from the sky, constantly sshing on the ground. Crash¡ª As Wang He and his party continued to advance, the sound of the rain grew louder. The rain connected together, gradually obscuring the view. If an ordinary person were in this ce, even their basic visual abilities would be lost. Only when the white light appeared in the distance could they barely see the surroundings. Eventually, when Wang He and the others arrived at their destination, what came into their view was a hugeke surrounded by mountains on all sides. What greeted them was a thick thunderbolt that fell from the sky. Boom¡ª In the blink of an eye, the thunderbolt leaped out from the clouds and struck the surface of theke. The entire heaven and earth seemed to have been split in two. The thunderous sound exploded, making Wang He feel as if his eardrums were trembling. He looked at the thunder-snakes tumbling in the dark clouds above, and a trace of shock shed through his eyes. The power of heaven and earth was terrifying like this. However, this was not Wang He¡¯s first time being here. Several days ago, he had led a reconnaissance team all the way to this ce. At that time, the abnormality in the heaven and earth was not as terrifying as it was now. There was only light rain and dark clouds pressing down. But in these short few days, the situation had gradually changed into what it was now. This meant that the energy within the Sealed Land was leaking out wildly. And it was precisely because of this that the investigation progress of Linjiang Martial Arts Association and Wu¡¯an Bureau was so slow. Soon, Wang He looked away and surveyed the area. Through the heavy curtain of rain, he could vaguely see that there were people moving around theke. These were Wu¡¯an Bureau members guarding the perimeter and keeping unauthorized people from approaching. These defense personnel were in groups of five. Each of them was a Qi-sensor, equipped with the most advanced modern technology, capable of stopping most martial artists. At this moment, when Wang He and his party approached, five red dotsnded on them. ¡°Linjiang Martial Arts Association, Wang He!¡± Wang He raised his hands and shouted loudly. After checking his identity, the defense personnel let him through. Entering the encirclement, Wang He immediately searched for Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s whereabouts. Soon, he saw Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s figure outside a small tent not far away. The tent was very small, so small that it would feel cramped if it held two people. At this moment, Zhao Zhenfeng, a direct disciple of the Martial Arts Associationmittee member, was kneeling and sitting in front of the tent, seemingly not caring about his clothes getting soaked. His face was respectful, as if he was talking to someone inside the tent.. Chapter 171 - 171: 156: The Old Man’s Conflict with the Rain Curtain Chapter 171 - 171: 156: The Old Man¡¯s Conflict with the Rain Curtain Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Respected Elder.¡± Zhao Zhenfeng knelt down in front of the tent and bowed his head. ¡°You An old and weak voice, piercing through the heavy veil of rain, urately reached Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s ears. Zhao Zhenfeng slightly raised his eyebrows. The scene inside the tent came into view. In the small tent, a hunched and emaciated figure sat cross-legged. The dry and thin body, with sagging skin, revealed the outline of bones. Scars crisscrossed his body, a testament to numerous old wounds now healed. Wrapping his face were wrinkles and scars, only his eyes were clear and full of will. As Zhao Zhenfeng raised his eyes, they met those of the old man. In that moment. Zhao Zhenfeng was a bit lost. What kind of eyes were these? Hidden within them seemed to be a brilliant gxy, the passage of time,posing the universe. Sometimes as clear as a child, sometimes as unyielding as a young man, sometimes as worldly-wise as an elder. For a moment. Zhao Zhenfeng opened his mouth, forgetting to answer. ¡°Ah, I have grown old and sometimes forget names.¡± It wasn¡¯t until the old man¡¯s pondering voice reached his ears that Zhao Zhenfeng snapped back to reality. ¡°The younger generation, Zhao Zhenfeng.¡± ¡°A direct disciple of Sect Master Xiang Li of the Power Sect.¡± He quickly bowed his head, stating his own identity, not daring to look directly at the old man. ¡°Xiang Li¡¡± ¡°I remember, I remember.¡± ¡°Nice kid.¡± The old man mumbled. As his voice fell. Zhao Zhenfeng felt his body suddenly be heavy. An invisible pressure descended from above, making him feel short of breath. Zhao Zhenfeng knew. It was the old man, looking at him. ¡°In that case, you may go.¡± ¡°But hurry.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t stay here much longer.¡± With that said. Zhao Zhenfeng felt the pressure on his body suddenly ease. He let out a sigh of relief. Raising his gaze. In the tent, There was no one. Zhao Zhenfeng wasn¡¯t the first to see him in person. He had experienced this sort of encounter a few times and didn¡¯t show any embarrassment. The old man had no name or title. Who he actually was, Zhao Zhenfeng didn¡¯t know. Zhao Zhenfeng only knew that his master called him Respected Elder. So he addressed him in the same way. Whenever there was a leakage from the Sealed Land, the old man¡¯s figure would appear, waiting for the Martial Arts Association to finish exploring before entering and repairing the broken seal. Besides that, Information about the old man was top secret within the Wu¡¯an Bureau and the Martial Arts Association. Zhao Zhenfeng had tried asking his master but hadn¡¯t gotten an answer. Not only that, Xiang Li even sternly warned him not to attempt to find out information about the old man. He only needed to show him respect, and that would be enough. With that thought, Even though the tent was empty, Zhao Zhenfeng didn¡¯t get up immediately. ¡°The younger generation takes their leave.¡± He bowed his head again and quietly waited for several seconds. Only after confirming that there was no sound did he slowly stand up. Once he stood up, He looked around. The Linjiang Province search squad was nowhere to be seen. One minute before, Zhao Zhenfeng had clearly sensed their presence around theke. But their aura had appeared briefly before quickly fading away. Zhao Zhenfeng had a suspicion. He turned his head to look into the distance. His gaze broke through the heavy rain, and he searched around theke. Around every direction, Wu¡¯an Bureau defense teams were patrolling. To avoid being lured away, even if someone tried to approach the Sealed Land from other directions, these teams wouldn¡¯t leave their positions without orders. However, when a team encountered an enemy and their initial attack proved ineffective, they would promptly request support. This time, the exploration of the Sealed Land, Fuhai Province and Linjiang Province dispatched five teams of martial artists in total, about thirty people. Their duty was to rush to support the moment they received a request from the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s defense teams. Now that Wang He¡¯s figure was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps¡ some trash couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. A cold sh flickered in Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes. The legacy of the breathing method in the Sealed Land, as well as the Spirit Seed and Qi Jie Stone, For martial artists nowadays, these were precious resources. Therefore, The protection and exploration of the Sealed Land always took precedence in every situation. Once leaked and obtained by ouws, it would only make China¡¯s environment increasingly unstable. Although it was dirty work, Power Sect itself was not without me. Thankless tasks were one thing if done by themselves, But it wouldn¡¯t be eptable if others were involved as well. With this final thought, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s ears twitched slightly. The distant gunfire shattered the heavy veil of rain and entered his ears. Therefore, His figure vanished in an instant. Lake. In the woods to the northwest. Amidst the sound of falling rain, the consecutive gunshots seemed particrly abrupt. ¡°Wang He?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard of you, you¡¯re pretty good.¡± In the rain curtain. Wang He, unable to evade the enemy¡¯s fierce attack in time, had no choice but to raise his hand to block. Bang! ck threads cut through the rain curtain, hitting Wang He¡¯s forearm heavily. The airwave exploded in the air, instantly dispersing the raindrops around it, and forming a vacuum zone several meters in radius. Crack! Wang He¡¯s pupils shrank. He clearly heard a crisp sounding from his arm. An enormous force swept through his body from his forearm. In an instant, Wang He felt as if he¡¯d lost control of his body, and was being carried away by the tremendous force towards the back. Not good! Can¡¯t retreat! Out of the corner of Wang He¡¯s eye, he saw armed personnel not far away shooting at the enemy with rifles. Once his side was breached, the situation of these armed personnel would be extremely dangerous if the enemy broke through and approached them. At the critical moment. Wang He gritted his teeth. He saw his waist and abdomen twist, generating strength. Bang! His legs, like wooden piles, deeply plunged into the ground. Only then did he barely manage to control his body from retreating backward. However, even so. Bearing the tremendous force that swept through his body, Wang He felt as if his internal organs were trembling. He opened his mouth and vomited blood. ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Very good.¡± The enemy in front of him softly praised. But there was no joy in Wang He¡¯s heart. His face was solemn as he stared at the enemy. This man was dressed in ck and wore a goat mask on his face. The two curved horns, along with the horizontal pupils underneath the mask, made one shudder just by gazing directly at him. ¡°Who are you?¡± Wang He stared intently at the goat-faced man and asked in a deep voice. At the same time. He silently adjusted his body¡¯s breathing rhythm. Thump, thump, thump. His clear and powerful heartbeat came from within his body. His body continuously produced crisp crackling sounds like frying beans. His figure visibly grew taller at a rapid speed. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m short on time, I¡¯ll introduce myself next time.¡± Unfortunately, It seemed that the enemy had no intention of entangling with Wang He for too long. Whoosh! Wang He felt the scene before his eyes flicker, and the goat-faced man appeared directly in front of him. His yful, horizontal pupils stared at Wang He, making him shiver in his heart. Bang! The ground beneath the goat-faced man¡¯s feet cracked inch by inch. His arms became a ck line in the air, instantly striking towards Wang He¡¯s chest. So fast! Wang He felt like his scalp was about to explode. The enemy was so fast that he didn¡¯t even have time to counterattack. In this critical moment, Wang He could only brace himself to block it. However, This time, The goat-faced man¡¯s attack was far more powerful than Wang He had imagined. Boom! The fist forcefully imprinted on Wang He¡¯s arm. A ring of airwaves, with the two as the center, instantly exploded. Under the pouring force, the ground within a few meters of the duo copsed instantly. The next second. Wang Hepletely lost control over his body. His vision rose rapidly. His body was shot towards the back like an arrow off the string. Bang! After flying dozens of meters, his body finally smashed into the ground, pounding the ground into a pit. wall! Wang He¡¯s eyes widened, and he vomited blood from his mouth again. The bones of his body were emitting distressed moans. ¡°Move faster.¡± The voice of the goat-faced man came again. Wang He looked up. The injuries on his body made his vision somewhat blurry. The rain curtain obstructed him, making him unable to see the surrounding situation clearly. However, he could vaguely see several shadows rapidly closing in on his teammates and the Wu¡¯an Bureau¡¯s armed personnel. ¡°Damn it!¡± Wang He¡¯s face turned anxious. He quickly propped up his arms and tried to lift his body. But the force of the goat-faced man¡¯s punch just now was too heavy; Wang He staggered and barely managed to stand up. He looked towards the battlefield. What he saw in front of him made his eyes want to burst. In just two or three seconds, With the support of the goat-faced man, all of his teammates were already lying on the ground, their lives unknown. And those men in ck were now rushing towards the armed personnel of the Wu¡¯an Bureau.. Chapter 172 - 172: 157: Taking Action and Terrifying Strength Chapter 172 - 172: 157: Taking Action and Terrifying Strength Trantor: 549690339 The armed personnel dispatched by the Wu¡¯an Bureau were not very strong, inevitably insufficient in the face of powerful martial artists. However, each of these armed personnel was equipped with modern technology and firearms. They were more than capable of dealing with fugitives who were of mediocre strength or even those who hadn¡¯t mastered the Breathing Technique. Wang He didn¡¯t know how many more people were hiding in the dark. But he knew. If there were casualties among the armed personnel here, even if more were quickly brought in to reinforce the ce, there might be people like the Holy Sect members with ill intentions who would take the opportunity to infiltrate the Sealed Land. Therefore, seeing several ck-clothed men rushing towards the armed personnel. Wang He could no longer care about the pain in his body. ¡°Inhale He forcibly propped up his body and entered the Breathing State once again. The bones in his body creaked. As Wang He¡¯s body continued to expand, intense pain also assaulted his mind. In the end, Bang! The pit under his feet expanded once again. Wang He¡¯s figure soared high into the air, rushing towards the nearest armed personnel. At the same time, Not far away, Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ck silhouettes tore through the rain curtain. Two dog-faced and one chicken -faced. Three ck-clothed men, while rapidly approaching the armed personnel, stared at their opponents¡¯ gun-wielding hands. It wasn¡¯t their first time facing the people of the Wu¡¯an Bureau. In the past, these armed teams were at least five people appearing simultaneously, fighting cooperatively with each other. Facing them with the strength of a dog-faced man, who had reached the peak of Transformation Realm but had not learned the Breathing Technique, would mean certain death. Even for the chicken-faced man who had learned the Breathing Technique, facing the fully armed squad, he could only flee in panic. But today was different. Today, the situation had reversed. Instead of the people from the Wu¡¯an Bureau outnumbering them, it was they, the Holy Sect people, who outnumbered them three to one! Watch the opponent¡¯s hand movements closely and dodge the bullets in advance. As long as they can get within five meters¡ Thinking of this, A ruthless look shed in the eyes of the leading chicken-faced man. He used to be a wanted criminal and was chased for a long time. He had harbored resentment towards the Wu¡¯an Bureau for quite some time. ¡°Spread out!¡± Whoosh! Following the chicken-faced man¡¯smand, the dog-faced men on either side shed and quickly dispersed. Enemies were rapidly approaching from three directions. But the armed personnel were not panicked. Bang! Bang! Two bursts of me burst open through the rain curtain. In the thermal imaging, the dog-faced man on the left was instantly hit by arge caliber bullet, falling to the ground, alive or dead unknown. Having sessfully killed one enemy, the armed personnel did not hesitate, quickly turning the muzzle to aim at the dog-faced man on the other side. Three gunshots, directly sealed off all the dog-faced man¡¯s paths. This time, the bullet hit the skull. Even though the dog-faced man was a Transformation Realm Fighter with much stronger bones than ordinary people, In the face of sufficient firepower, all beings are equal. The dog-faced man¡¯s head burst open instantaneously. However, when the armed personnel sessfully killed two dog-faced men, the chicken-faced man had already approached. ¡°Die! ! ! Underneath the mask, his eyes were full of ferocity. The chicken-faced man¡¯s fingers joined together, his hand turning into a beak shape, pecking towards the head of the armed personnel. If this were to strike true, it would probably dig a big hole in his head. But the distance between the two was too close, and the rifle couldn¡¯t aim in time. In desperation, the armed personnel tilted his body and fell backward on purpose. At the same time, his right hand reached to his waist, preparing to draw a handgun and shoot at the chicken-faced man. However, the chicken-faced man had anticipated this. He sneered, The beak-like hand that was initially aimed at the head suddenly changed direction in midair, and instead stabbed towards the elbow. Snap! Without surprise, the armed personnel¡¯s arm twisted instantly, and the handgun fell to the ground. He grunted and stomped, getting ready to distance himself from the enemy. But the chicken-faced man wouldn¡¯t let up when he had the advantage. As the armed personnel retreated, he stepped closer! His right leg took a bold step forward, and his left palm, like a knife, stabbed upward at the armed personnel¡¯s lower jaw. Sharp screams exploded by the ears, rapidly approaching. Just as the armed personnel was about to lose his life, Suddenly, A massive shadow enveloped from above. Along with it, came the sharp sound of breaking air. ¡°Damn it!¡± There was a hint of unwillingness in the chicken-faced man¡¯s eyes. Without even thinking, he knew that the opponent¡¯s reinforcements had arrived. Unfortunately, If only a little bit more, he would have been able to kill the Wu¡¯an Bureau brat before him. But at this time¡ Thinking about this, the chicken-faced man could only abandon his offensive. Using the momentum of his forward charge, he shed past the armed personnel¡¯s side. After all, Shen¡¯s instructions were to break through the defenses of the Wu¡¯an Bureau and the Martial Arts Association and enter the Sealed Land. Thinking of this, the chicken-faced man stomped and ran toward the location of theke. At this moment, Bang! The ground where the chicken-faced man had been standing was suddenly struck by a giant figure. An indentation instantly appeared on the ground. Wang He, with his muscr body and skin as hard as rock, slowly stood up from the hole. His broad palm protected the armed personnel in front of him so that they wouldn¡¯t be injured by the impact. After confirming they were unharmed, Wang He directly grabbed the armed personnel and gently threw them to the side. There, several armed personnel he had saved earlier had already gathered, holding their rifles and staring intently in a certain direction. As for wang He, withdrawing his arm, his gaze went straight to the chicken-faced man not far away. Bang! Apanied by a loud explosion from his feet. Wang He demonstrated a speed that did not match his body size as he chased after the chicken-faced man. In just a blink of an eye, he had approached within two meters of the enemy. His eyes, filled with fury, fell upon the chicken-faced man. The chicken-faced man instantly felt a surge of goosebumps on his skin. In his mind, rm bells were ringing incessantly. Damn it! What were the others doing?! The chicken-faced man¡¯s heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He didn¡¯t believe he could escape from a Breathing State martial artist. But he was just a little confused, Where were the people?! Where were his teammates?! With reluctance and suspicion, as the whistling sound above his head fell, he turned his head to look in the direction of his teammates. Immediately, he saw them. The sheep-faced men, much stronger and more superior than him, gathered together and prepared themselves for battle. All of them were looking in the same direction, as if waiting for something. What were they¡ Boom! In the chicken-faced man¡¯s mind, thest thought shed past. What followed, was a muscr, rock-like-textured arm striking down from above. At the moment the fist collided with his skull, the chicken-faced man¡¯s head instantly disintegrated into countless pieces of bloody flesh, sttering in all directions. The red and white substance fell on the ground, quickly mixing with the rainwater, staining it a deep red. Blood water flowed across the ground. Wang He, who had killed the enemy, showed no hint of rxation on his face. The reason he was able to sessfully save all the armed personnel was not because of his own strength. Rather, it was because the truly powerful enemies had simply ignored him. With this in mind, Wang He turned around and looked at the other side. In the rain curtain, a single sheep-faced man was powerful enough to render Wang He incapable of fighting back. But now, there were five of them. With such a lineup, Wang He felt a chill in the depths of his heart just by looking at it, his body feeling slightly stiff. However, at the moment, the gazes of the sheep-faced men were filled with seriousness, all staring in a certain direction, not as rxed as when they had seriously injured Wang He with just two punches. Step. Step. In the rain curtain, a slender silhouette gradually revealed its contours. Its footsteps were not heavy, yet the sound was exceptionally clear to everyone present. That was¡ Wang He¡¯s eyes narrowed. Zhao Zhenfeng?! He had never seen Zhao Zhenfeng in action. But just by his presence alone, he could scare the five sheep-faced men from moving. Were those sheep-faced men overreacting? A hint of doubt shed across Wang He¡¯s face. Even though he genuinely hoped that Zhao Zhenfeng had enough strength, he still couldn¡¯t believe that a martial artist of his age could have such terrifying strength. NOW, Zhao Zhenfeng had entered the battlefield. His gaze swept over the surroundings. He looked at the members of the Linjiang Province¡¯s Reconnaissance Team, whoy on the ground, their fates unknown. Irritation shed in his eyes. Trash is trash. Can¡¯t rely on them. ¡°Zhao Zhenfeng.¡± Not far away, the sheep-faced man who had injured Wang He earlier spoke in a deep voice. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of losing the opportunity to enter the Sealed Land if you keep wasting time here with us?¡± Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhenfeng looked at him indifferently, as though the person in front of him was not a formidable opponent, but a mere insignificant ant. ¡°Wasting time?¡± Zhao Zhenfeng raised an eyebrow. His knees slowly bent down. Crack¡crack! The ground beneath his feet cracked continuously, with an unbearable rumbling sound echoing faintly from below the surface. His muscles underneath the skin vibrated in subtle motions. Steam rose from Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s body. ¡°Who are you¡ looking down on?¡± Boom! As if struck by a colossal force, the ground within a dozen meters of Zhao Zhenfeng copsed instantly. His figure turned into a ck thread, instantly bursting out. The dense curtain of rain was instantly struck by a vacuum tunnel. Bang! The explosion sound echoed almost simultaneously. When Zhao Zhenfeng reappeared, he was already standing more than ten meters behind the sheep-faced men. He had regained his posture, as if he had just done an insignificant small task. Behind him, the five sheep-faced men turned into a sky full of blood flowers, falling together with the rain. Drip. Raindrops mixed with blood fell on Wang He¡¯s frozen face. But he waspletely unaware, feeling as if his brain had malfunctioned, unable to process anything. ¡°What are you staring at?¡± ¡°Hurry up and contact reinforcements!¡± ¡°If I have to do everything, what¡¯s the use of having you bunch of trash?!¡± Upon seeing the ipetence of the Linjiang Province¡¯s Reconnaissance Team, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s impatience and disgust could no longer be concealed. His words to Wang He were no longer polite at this moment. However, even so, having glimpsed only the tip of the iceberg of Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s strength, Wang He¡¯s heart held no resentment. Instead, it felt a taint sense of reliet Relieved that he had not confronted Zhao Zhenfeng face-to-face. Otherwise, even if Zhao Zhenfeng didn¡¯t kill him, a casual blow could have crippled him. ¡°Yes¡yes!¡± In response, Wang He, who hade to his senses under Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s reprimand, quicklyplied. He then began to check the injuries of the reconnaissance team members at the fastest speed, while contacting the Martial Arts Association to request them to send enough personnel to rece the reconnaissance team¡¯s position as soon as possible.. Chapter 173 - 173: 158: Holy Sect and Unlucky Monkey Face Chapter 173 - 173: 158: Holy Sect and Unlucky Monkey Face Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡± About a kilometer away from theke, on the mountain peak. A young man d in ck clothes, with a paleplexion, squats at the top of the mountain. He ces his palm on his forehead, adopting a gazing attitude, looking like a monkey. From time to time, he lets out sighs of wonderment. ¡°Look, look.¡± ¡°This is the Martial Arts Association, these are the disciples of the Power Sect.¡± ¡°So strong.¡± ¡°Now look at our misfits on this side, dying because they¡¯re too weak.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± When his words were halfway out, The young man turned his head and asked. Not far behind him, a man with Sun Wukong¡¯s face mask on, the monkey-faced man, was kneeling on the ground with one knee. Hearing the young man¡¯s question, the monkey-faced man froze. How do you expect me to answer? I¡¯m not even as capable as those who died! The monkey-faced man curses inwardly, but doesn¡¯t dare to reveal any hint of it. ¡°Mr. Shen, more than half of our forces have been lost by now. What should we In the end, The monkey-faced man chose to change the subject. ¡°Let them die.¡± ¡°Anyway, these people are either wanted criminals or bad guys, so they deserve death. ¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± The death issue, once again raised by Mr. Shen. Now, The monkey-faced man ispletely speechless. I¡¯m a fucking wanted criminal too! Can you at least be considerate of other people¡¯s identities when asking questions?! He¡¯s screaming internally. No wonder in the Holy Sect, among those who have followed Mr. Shen on missions, the death rate is extremely high. Even if there are those who miraculously survive, even the most wicked of them will show obvious psychological trauma afterward. Mr. Shen¡¯s character is capricious, seemingly innocent but in reality, he is indifferent to the lives of others. Those of them who serve the Holy Sect are nothing more than puppets in his eyes. Be it y or discard, All within a single thought of his. This time¡ I¡¯m afraid my chances of survival are slim. ¡°Hey.¡± Just as the monkey-faced man is wallowing in self-pity, The voice rings out again. Maybe it¡¯s because the monkey-faced man hasn¡¯t answered for a while. Mr. Shen pouts, feeling bored and losing the mood for chatting. He points to his chin, showing a thoughtful expression. After pondering for a brief moment, CLAP! His eyes light up, as if he hase up with an excellent idea. He looks down at the monkey-faced man. ¡°Why not, while that disciple of the Power Sect hasn¡¯t entered the Sealed Land yet, ¡± ¡°You go and try your luck?¡± Whoosh! The monkey-faced man¡¯s eyes widen instantly. He suddenly lifts his head, looking at Mr. Shen with a face full of terror. ¡°Mister, spare my life!¡± ¡°Mister, spare my life!¡± He heavily knocks his head on the ground. The force is so great, It even knocks a small hole in the mask on his face. ording to thetest news from the inte in his ear, the highest-ranked sheep-faced man in this operation had just been dispatched with five others, only to be instantly annihted by the disciple of the Power Sect, Now they¡¯re asking him, a monkey-faced man, to go and try his luck. Isn¡¯t that like walking into the toilet with antern ¨C asking for trouble! However , Faced with the monkey-faced man¡¯s plea for mercy, Mr. Shen remains unmoved. He merely reveals an interested look. Then, he presses the inte by his ear. ¡°All personnel in position, please take note.¡± ¡°An organization member has defected; temporarily regard capturing him as the top priority.¡± ¡°The member¡¯s rank is ¡®monkey¡¯ , with a damaged mask, and his name is¡ Hold on a sec.¡± As he says this, Mr. Shen releases the earpiece and looks at the monkey-faced man lying on the ground. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Unfortunately, The monkey-faced man doesn¡¯t dare to answer. All he can do is continue knocking his head, repeating words like ¡®spare my life¡¯. Seeing this, Mr. Shen shrugs his shoulders. He forcibly grabs the monkey-faced man¡¯s face and removes the mask. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so ugly!¡± Looking at the monkey-faced man, whose facial features are twisted due to several scars, Mr. Shen shows a surprised expression, and exims exaggeratedly. At the same time, He presses the earpiece. ¡°Pay attention, everyone.¡± ¡°The defector is a ¡®monkey¡¯ with several scars on his face; do not confuse him with anyone else.¡± After saying this, Looking at the monkey-faced man, who is now so scared that his facial muscles are out of control, Mr. Shen stretches out his hand and takes the earpiece off the other man. He smiles faintly, holding up two fingers. ¡°You have two choices.¡± ¡°Either let me kill you right now.¡± ¡°Or, start running, and if you can escape this area safely, I¡¯ll pretend you¡¯re already dead ¨C how about it?¡± Looking at the excited face of Mr. Shen, like that of a mischievous child watching a y, The monkey-faced man finally understands, Why those who have ever worked with him on missions would be left with psychological trauma. ¡°I¡¯ll give you three seconds.¡± ¡°Three.¡± ¡°Two.¡± Zoom! There¡¯s no time left for the monkey-faced man to beg for mercy. If he doesn¡¯t run away, knowing the maniac¡¯s personality, he might really be killed on the spot. With that thought, As a ck thread, the monkey-faced man swiftly escapes into the distance. Behind him, ¡°Hehe.¡± ¡°There¡¯s another good show.¡± Mr. Shen simply stands atop the mountain, watching the monkey-faced man get further and further away. There¡¯s still some time before the n begins. During this time, just watching the people of the Martial Arts Association fight would be too boring. And he doesn¡¯t want to send all of his men to their deaths. Out of helplessness, He can onlye up with such a game on his own. On the outskirts of theke. Whoosh! ck shadows swept past the trees, bringing gusts of strong wind. The branches and leaves rustled. The rain curtain thickened. Water droplets sshed continuously on one person and a cat. ¡°Brother Chen, although with my identity, I can enter the Sealed Land openly.¡± ¡°But if Zhao Zhenfeng recognizes me, I¡¯m afraid he will target me.¡± Transformed into a ck cat, Shen Zimingy on Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder, his amber pupils flickering with a calm light. ¡°So what you mean is?¡± Chen Sheng dressed in ck clothes, wearing a nk mask on his face. Even now, his gaze at Shen Ziming was still somewhat emotional. This world. It¡¯s bing more and more fantastical. Now even transformation spells have appeared. ¡°So, we¡¯ll observe the vicinity first, and I have a way to detect the location of the Sealed Land.¡± ¡°After confirming the location, we will directly rush into the Sealed Land.¡± ¡°This will inevitably attract the attacks from the Wu¡¯an Bureau and Martial Arts Association Members. Can you¡handle it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a small matter.¡± Chen Sheng readily epted Shen Ziming¡¯s suggestion. This was also his original n. If he and Shen Ziming appear with their real identities, their actions may be limited. Rather, it¡¯s better to conceal their identities. When working¡it¡¯s also more convenient. Rumble¡ª The two got closer and closer to the location of theke. The roaring sound above theke grew louder and louder. Chen Sheng looked up. He saw the dark clouds that covered the sky and the thunder snakes that leaped through the clouds from time to time. This strange phenomenon ¡ was much more terrifying than the one at the bottom of the waterfall in Zhou Family Vige. ¡°Sealed Lands also vary in size.¡± ¡°To my knowledge, some Sealed Lands even have various means set up to prevent intentional damage.¡± ¡°But the leak of a strange phenomenon from the Sealed Land has nothing to do with its size.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only rted to the size of the crack in the seal.¡± Shen Ziming exined. ¡°But don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°After the exploration of the Sealed Land ispleted, a specialist will repair the seal.¡± Huh? Hearing this, Chen Sheng was a bit surprised. At this time and age, there are actually people able to repair seals? Perhaps sensing Chen Sheng¡¯s doubts. Shen Ziming slowly shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me, I don¡¯t know the specifics.¡± ¡°All I Imow is that ever since the Tide Rising Period began, many Sealed Lands have been damaged, but all have been repaired one by one.¡± Chen Sheng nodded. He did not have much curiosity. Anyway, to himself, this was not something he needed to know. With this thought in mind, he continued his journey. The two became closer and closer to the location of theke. Chen Sheng¡¯s steps gradually slowed down. ¡°Heh The monkey-faced man, who had fled from the mountain top, sped towards the outer perimeter. His eyes behind the mask asionally nced around. He felt his heart was beating fast, as if it would burst out of his chest at any moment. It wasn¡¯t because of fleeing for his life. It was fear. The fear of being hunted like a prey by the Holy Sect members at any time, constantly oppressed his heart, making him feel breathless. ¡°Can¡¯t go on like this.¡± The monkey-faced man gritted his teeth, his face ferocious. If he kept running, there was a high probability that he would run into the Holy Sect members. If he was lucky, he could encounter a dog-faced man or someone lower, and then he could quickly kill them and escape. But if he was unlucky and encountered a sheep-faced man or a monkey-faced man of the same rank, once their footsteps caught up to him, others would quickly gather around. At that time¡it would be certain death for him. Faced with the threat of life and death, his brain operated at an unprecedented speed. Maybe¡he could find a low-ranking member of the Holy Sect, kill them as quickly as possible, and then put on their clothes. Then, his chances of escape would be greatly increased. With that thought, the monkey-faced man stopped in his tracks. He looked around and quickly locked onto an old tree with dense branches and leaves. Whoosh! With a push of his foot, the monkey-faced man jumped into the branches and leaves. He adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, suppressing all the movements of his body to the lowest level. Next, He slowly closed his eyes. His ears twitched from time to time, carefully listening to every sound around him. After a while, Whoosh¡ª The subtle sound of branches and leaves shaking entered the monkey-faced man¡¯s ears. Whoosh! Through the gap, the monkey-faced man looked in the direction of the sound. Soon, He saw a ck shadow approach quickly. Upon closer look, the shadow wore a nk mask. On the shoulder¡there even seemed to be a ck cat? What kind of joke is this?! The monkey-faced man felt both surprised and humiliated deep down. After all, he has a monkey-faced mask. A person at the lowest level of the Holy Sect dared to chase and attack him? Moreover, bringing a cat to work. What the hell do you think you are?! You¡¯re just courting death! There was a ferocious light in the eyes of the monkey-faced man. Seeing this Faceless Man getting closer and closer. Until¡he passed under the tree! ¡°Die! !!!! ¡± Bang! The sharp wind instantly broke through the branches and leaves. The monkey-faced man¡¯s figure shot out like a cannonball. His right arm turned into a ck thread, carrying a fierce force, smashing directly at the Faceless Man on the ground. In the next second, Bang! Blood sttered all over the sky. The monkey-faced man could not understand why his end came about until his vision was submerged inplete darkness. Before losing consciousness, Thest thing he heard was the puzzled voice of the Faceless Man. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this idiot?¡± Chapter 174 - 174: 159: Secret Martial Arts and Chapter 174 - 174: 159: Secret Martial Arts and Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Oh?¡± On top of the mountain peak. Mr. Shen showed a surprised expression and suddenly stood up. After the monkey-faced man left, his sight had been locked on his opponent. It was not until the monkey-faced man leaped onto the tree and prepared to conceal his figure and attack his colleagues. None of his actions escaped Mr. Shen¡¯s eyes. But what really surprised him was the following incident. He saw a Faceless Man happen to pass by the tree where the monkey-faced man was hiding. The monkey-faced man immediately jumped out of the tree and prepared to attack the opponent. Then, Mr. Shen saw the monkey-faced man explode instantly, turning into a cloud of blood in mid-air. ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem to be one of my men, right?¡± Mr. Shen rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Not long after. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up. ¡°It seems there will be a good show to watch.¡± ¡°People from the Holy Sect?¡± Chen Sheng flicked the fresh blood off his palm, puzzled. Looking at the broken ck cloth on the ground and the damaged monkey mask. Though this was his first time seeing a monkey-faced man. The opponent¡¯s outfit was obviously the Holy Sect¡¯s style. ¡°It¡¯s normal.¡± ¡°Although the Sealed Land is full of dangers, there are many resources inside.¡± ¡°For underground factions like the Holy Sect and some wanted Qi-sensors on the run, this is a rare treasurend.¡± ¡°Moreover, the strange phenomenon leakage of the Sealed Land is mostly difficult to hide.¡± ¡°So every time this happens, a bunch of peoplee to join in.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded. ¡°I hope there will be more people from the Holy Sect this time.¡± He had already killed many in the Holy Sect, including small leaders like Mr. Hai. The feud between them would only end in death. When encountering people from the Holy Sect, Chen Sheng naturally doesn¡¯t mind killing them with ease. ¡°Eighty percent won¡¯t be less.¡± ¡°Now that the concentration of Qi has reached its peak, Qi-sensors are emerging all over China like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm.¡± ¡°Many people have suddenly gained power far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is difficult for them to control their skyrocketing desires.¡± ¡°So¡ the cases rted to Qi-sensors have been increasing every day.¡± ¡°Although most of the offending Qi-sensors have been caught and brought to justice.¡± ¡°There is still a considerable number who sessfully escaped the pursuit and, with the help of the Holy Sect, sessfully changed their identities and became another person.¡± Hearing this, ¡°I see.¡± Chen Sheng walked forward, a thoughtful look on his face. Although he is a peace lover, he usually follows the good morality of not attacking unless necessary. But since having power, Every time he took a shot, Chen Sheng always had difficulty restraining the sense of superiority brought by the powerful power in his heart, and often ¡°killed by ident.¡± It was a sense of superiority that seemed to put him above all living things. Would a person feel guilty for stepping on and killing an ant? Not at all. If a person is bitten by an ant, would they be mindful of ethics and carefully break off one of its legs to make it an eye for an eye? No. Ordinary people would choose to p the offending ant to death. This is Chen Sheng¡¯s mentality when facing enemies now. Therefore, He empathized deeply with what Shen Zi Ming said. ¡°But it¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°After today, there should be fewer people from the Holy Sect.¡± Although Chen Sheng¡¯s tone seemed as if he was just describing an ordinary matter, Zi Ming could perceive a hint of barely concealed killing intent from his words. He didn¡¯t say anything else. He just quietlyy on Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulders and observed the surroundings. Soon. The two had already reached the edge of theke. Chen Sheng stopped. ¡°Now what should we¡ª¡± Hiding in the treetops, Chen Sheng turned to look at Shen Ziming. He found that Shen Ziming had already closed his eyes. Under his eyelids, it was evident that Shen Ziming¡¯s pupils were constantly trembling. Chen Sheng immediately closed his mouth, not disturbing the other. ording to Shen Ziming himself, possessing Heavenly Person Cells allowed him to faintly sense the aura of the Heavenly Person. As the seal shattered, the Heavenly Person¡¯s aura would leak out in response. The raging storm and thunder surrounding them now were the consequences of the Heavenly Person¡¯s aura stirring. In a short while, ¡°I found it.¡± Shen Ziming opened his eyes, looking towards the location of theke. ¡°Although the distance is too far to determine the exact location.¡± ¡°But I am sure, the entrance to the Sealed Land is beneath theke.¡± ¡°As long as we get closer, I can sense it more clearly.¡± ¡°Next, we have to charge directly through the encirclement of the Wu¡¯an Bureau and the Martial Arts Association. ¡°Brother Chen, are you¡ ready?¡± Shen Ziming looked at Chen Sheng, a serious expression on his cat face. ¡°Try to avoid a direct conflict with Zhao Zhenfeng.¡± ¡°He is strong and not someone we can deal with in a short time.¡± ¡°We just need to enter the Sealed Land. With my sense of the Heavenly Person, our exploration speed will be faster than others.¡± Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± His expression gradually became solemn. His gaze prated theyers of rain curtain, falling on Zhao Zhenfeng at the edge of theke. An attribute panel appeared before his eyes. [Zhao Zhenfeng] [Strength: 243] [Agility: 224] [Constitution: 228] [Realm: Yao Light Realm] [Skills: Ant Body State (Max), Mountain Beast Gravity (Max), Nuclear Fist IVI] ¡°Nuclear Fist¡ What kind of ghost thing is that?¡± It was the first time Chen Sheng had seen such exaggerated attributes and so many terms he didn¡¯t understand. For the differences between the realms of martial artists, Chen Sheng was still somewhat unclear. Trash attribute Mr. Hai was an Entering Realm Martial Artist. However, Li Hengkong, who had well-rounded attributes over a hundred, was not an Entering Realm Martial Artist. Chen Sheng had been puzzled. He also asked Shen Ziming, but due to his Heavenly Person Cells, he hadn¡¯t started practicing the Breathing Technique since joining the Yihe Gate. All his abilities were brought by the Heavenly Person Cells. Therefore, Shen Ziming could not give Chen Sheng an answer. He only promised that after hearing more from other people in Yihe Gate, he would inform Chen Sheng. ¡°Nuclear Fist?¡± ¡°How do you know about this technique?¡± At this moment, Hearing Chen Sheng¡¯s muttering, Shen Ziming, who had been prepared to sprint, looked back in surprise. ¡°You know about this thing?¡± Chen Sheng did not answer, but instead asked his own question. Shen Ziming slowly nodded. ¡°It is the unique technique of the Power Sect, known as Secret Martial Arts in the current martial arts world.¡± ¡°It is said to be created by the Sect Master of the Power Sect, which can maximize the physical strength of the Power Sect¡¯s disciples, even surpassing their limits.¡± ¡°It is not a Breathing Technique if you want to make aparison¡Breathing Technique is like an athlete while Secret Martial Arts is like a super stimnt.¡± ¡°Well¡ Anyway, that¡¯s the general idea. Secret Martial Artse in various types, and it¡¯s hard for me to exin them all in a short time.¡± By the end, Shen Ziming seemed to have confused himself, shaking his cat head continuously. What did you do when you joined Yihe Gate in the first ce?! Chen Sheng had a speechless expression, secretlyining.. Chapter 175 - 160: Confrontation and Terrifying Power Chapter 175: Chapter 160: Confrontation and Terrifying Power Trantor: 549690339 Boring Boring! ! I want to see blood flowing like a river! At the top of the mountain, Mr. Shen sits cross-legged, his hands supporting his chin. He gazes at theke, shaking his head, making strange noises from his mouth. Zhao Zhenfengs dy in going down into theke makes the impatient Mr. Shen feel like his patience is almost worn out. However, the more than half of the people he brought have already died. The remaining people are special and key to the sess or failure of the mission. No matter how crazy Mr. Shen is, he doesnt dare to take the Holy Sects mission lightly. Damn it!! How about going down and fighting the Disciple of Power Sect for a while first?! Mr. Shen leaps into the air out of nowhere, his figure rising. His feetnd on the ground, with a flicker of crazed light in his eyes. This idea just emerges and keeps spreading in his mind. Mr. Shen paces back and forth. Feeling itchy in his hands. In the end, He seems to have made up his mind! Lets do it!!eastern fantasy Woo hoo! Before departure, the idea of not taking risks easily and not to act too early, as advised by the higher-ups, has long been discarded. Mr. Shen can no longer restrain himself. He bends his legs. His arms swing back and forth, like a child preparing to jump. It looks like he wants to leap across the more than one kilometer distance, directly from the mountain peak to theke. As it seems, Mr. Shen is about to jump. But at this moment, Huh? He seems to have discovered something. His bodys movement suddenlyes to a halt. Mr. Shen looks at the direction of theke, the corners of his mouth opening in an exaggerated curve. In his eyes, a passionate light flickers. Interesting, interesting! Lets enjoy the show! Two minutes earlier. In a while Zhao Zhenfeng stands emotionlessly by theke, with his lips slightly open. Traces of almost invisible mist on his body surface slowly drift away, and are quickly washed away by the rain. The raindrops falling on Zhao Zhenfengs body evaporate rapidly. Behind him, Wang He from the Linjiang Province reconnaissance team is listening attentively with his head down. After witnessing Zhao Zhenfengs strength, he has no more objections. At this moment, He keeps nodding in response to Zhao Zhenfengsmands and agrees repeatedly. Yes. As the voice falls, Wang He quickly rushes to the others nearby. To avoid leaking information, instead of conveying Zhao Zhenfengs instructions using an inte, he ryed them through word of mouth. In less than a minute, with the speed of a martial artist, the instructions would be ryed to everyone. On Zhao Zhenfengs side, After Wang He leaves, he takes out his phone from his pocket. Hm? Looking at the clean phone screen, Zhao Zhenfeng frowns. If he remembers correctly, Xiang Zeng should have boarded the ne by now, and with Zhou Zhengs character, he would definitely send a text message to inform him personally. But now, There isnt a single message on the phone screen. With a full signal, there is no possibility of not receiving messages. Although Zhao Zhenfeng doesnt really care about Xiang Zeng, He respects his master. So he has to take extra care of this useless person that he looks down upon. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenfeng calls Zhou Zheng directly. Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily out of service area Beep. After hanging up, Zhao Zhenfeng dials Xiang Zengs number. Same situation, out of the service area. Until now, Zhao Zhenfengs face has be extremely gloomy. If nothing unexpected has happened, it must have been an ident. He makes a call again, connecting to the Fuhai Province Wuan Bureau Headquarters in Haizhou City. After requesting them to find Xiang Zeng and Zhou Zhengs whereabouts, Zhao Zhenfeng hangs up the phone. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and temporarily puts Xiang Zengs situation out of his mind. No matter what tricks the waste is up to, The most urgent task at the moment is to deal with the situation in the Sealed Land. Zhao Zhenfengs gaze sweeps subtly across the woods surrounding theke. At first nce, there is no movement behind the woods. It seems that the group of people he killed earlier was the entirety of the Holy Sects personnel. He takes his gaze back. Looking at the center of theke. ording to the investigation of Wang Hes team, the entrance to the Sealed Land is roughly located under the center of theke. Rumble Just at this moment, Thick thunder falls from the sky, directly hitting the surface of theke. In an instant, Countless small electric arcs jump all around. As Wang He said, They were unable to investigate the specific location because the water in theke is filled with strong electric currents. And as they go deeper, the intensity of the current increases. Ordinary people would likely have their hearts paralyzed and stiffened if they stayed in the water for too long. Even a martial artist like Wang He cant stay at the bottom of theke too long. Only Zhao Zhenfeng himself can explore the precise location of the entrance. With this in mind, Zhao Zhenfeng hesitates no more. He calls over a member of the Martial Arts Association to hand over his electronic devices. Then, He takes steps toward theke, seemingly preparing to go underwater. Step. With one step out. Zhao Zhenfeng had a solemn expression. His ears twitched from time to time, sensing any movement in his surroundings. Chen Sheng leaped out from the treetops,nding noiselessly. Following that, He started walking, leisurely emerging from the woods and steadily approaching theke. Midway, Armed personnel asionally passed by Chen Sheng, with none of them noticing him at all. This was one of Shen Zimings abilities. The Heavenly Person Cells within him were like several fixed programs. He could manipte his Qi and use it to manifest some extraordinary abilities with the programs in his body. Invisibility was one of them. However, Shen Zimings invisibility ability was extremely limited. At most, it only allowed ordinary people and non-entering realm martial artists to lose sight of him. For those entering realm martial artists who could perceive Qi, Shen Zimings invisibility merely made him appear wrapped in arge group of Qi, making him extremely conspicuous. Thus, As he walked, Chen Shengs muscles were always tense, while his gaze remained fixed on Zhao Zhenfeng, who was not far away. He was also prepared to activate his Xuanwu Transformation. The other party would undoubtedly discover him sooner orter. As for waiting for Zhao Zhenfeng to enter the Sealed Land first, it was even more impossible. Nobody knew the exact situation inside the Sealed Land yet. If it was as narrow as the bottom of the waterfall in Zhou Family Vige, then allowing Zhao Zhenfeng to go first would make them lose the initiative. They would inevitably have to fight the other party if they wanted to snatch it. Its better to break out earlier. After all, with Shen Zimings sensing ability, their exploration speed would be much faster than Zhao Zhenfengs. With these thoughts, Chen Sheng continued to move closer to theke without stopping. Halfway through the journey. Step! The clear sound of water sshing as his footnded, came from not far away. Zhao Zhenfeng, who was also heading towards theke, suddenly stopped in his tracks, instantly turning his head to look in Chen Shengs direction. His sharp gaze pierced through the heavy rain curtains, falling on Chen Sheng. Shen Zimings eyes grew sharper on Chen Shengs shoulder. Protect yourself. Chen Sheng said in a deep voice. Inhale A clear, audible breath sounded from Chen Shengs mouth that rapidly reached everyones ears. Huh?! Is thisthe sound of entering the Breathing Method state! Wang He, who was not far away, suddenly turned his head, with uncertainty in his eyes. The armed personnel around who heard the movement quickly raised their firearms, pointing them at Chen Shengs location. Fall back. But just then, A chilly voice entered everyones ears. Whoosh! Zhao Zhenfeng, with his icy gaze, immediately appeared in front of Chen Sheng. His muscles were continuously trembling as frightening energy gathered unceasingly. Red light faintly emerged beneath his skin. Heavy fog rose from his body. Die!!! Zhao Zhenfengs eyes grew fierce. His fist rubbed violently against the air, instantly sweeping away the rain around him. Without any hesitation, Zhao Zhenfengs arm flew like a cannonball with astonishing force, aimed straight at Chen Sheng. Even if there was nothing in front of him, and only a massive gathering of Qi, Zhao Zhenfeng was certain. There was someone here! If they had stealthily infiltrated, Then no matter who it was. They must die! Whistle- A sharp, piercing screech sounded through the air. The red light on Zhao Zhenfengs arm grew more intense. His fist was about to strike. Just at that moment. Whoosh! A sh appeared before Zhao Zhenfengs eyes. His pupils reflected a deep blue color in an instant. Boom! An overwhelming force of wind struck his face, blowing his hair back. A muscr, sturdy arm burst through the rain in front of him, suddenly protruding out into the open. On its surface, turtle shell patterns flowed like water. Comparing force, This suddenly appearing arm was no weaker than Zhao Zhenfengs. It even greatly surpassed him. Next second, One red, one blue, Two fists collided with a loud crash. ng! ! An ear-splitting noise erupted, like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of those around, making them feel short of breath. After a brief pause, Boom!!! The ground around the two arms instantly cracked, with countless fragments flying in all directions. There were even visible shockwaves sweeping through the area with unstoppable force. Not good, retreat quickly!!! With a horrified expression, Wang He, who was closest, tried to distance himself from the battlefield. However, his speed could not keep up with the expanding shockvvaves. Next second, Wang He felt his body be lighter as the shockwaves swept him away at an even faster speed. Under a single punch, Even the rain curtains that covered the sky and earth were swept away in an instant, creating a vacuum zone about ten meters in diameter. Thud! It was only after Wang He had flown nearly dozens of meters that he barely managed to stabilize himself andnd back on the ground. He immediately looked up at the ongoing battle. But he saw a figure, flying backwvard continuously towards theke. He stared closely. The shock nearly stopped his heart. The one flying backward, Turned out to be Zhao Zhenfeng! !! Chapter 176 - 161: Fierce Battle and Temporary Retreat Chapter 176: Chapter 161: Fierce Battle and Temporary Retreat Trantor: 549690339 Heavy rain was pouring from the sky. In the midst of the rain curtain, Chen Shengs attributes were increased by a third. Activating the Xuanwu transformation could make Chen Shengs Strength Attribute rise by another half. In other words, Chen Shengs Strength Attribute was now around four hundred points! Such terrifying strength, even the shockwaves created by the impacts alone could kill weaker martial artists. A glimpse of the surrounding devastation was enough to prove this point. Whether it was martial artists from the Martial Arts Association or armed personnel from the Wuan Bureau, all were swept up by the shockwaves produced from their fight and thrown hard onto the ground. Even though these armed personnel were all wearing a lot of protective equipment. This particr impact left them feeling their internal organs churning violently. With a retching sound, Wang He, in the distance, coughed up fresh blood. It was the result of his internal organs taking a strong hit. However, Even with his injuries, Wang He had no intention of paying attention to his physical condition. As he watched Zhao Zhenfeng knocked away in the distance, he could only feel fear emerging in his mind. Zhao Zhenfeng, who was basically invincible in Wang Hes heart, was instantly knocked back after an exchange with this invisible enemy. He only felt an endless chill enveloping him, making his blood seem frozen stiff. But even so, He had no intention of just waiting for death. He looked around. He saw the surrounding armed personnel, despite their injuries, managed to stand up from the ground. Fire! Assist Master Zhao! Under Wang Hes throaty shouts, the armed personnel around him didnt hesitate at all and quickly aimed in the direction where Zhao Zhenfeng had been and started shooting. As soon as the words were spoken, The sounds of gunfire echoed nonstop in the rain. However, Ding, ding, ding. The disappearing bullets and the sound of metal colliding made Wang Hes heart sink deeper and deeper. The bullets probably couldnt even break through the enemys defense. Not only that, Within a mere moment. The sound of metallic collision disappearedpletely. The enemy was probably chasing after Zhao Zhenfeng! Shoot around Master Zhao! Damn it!! At the edge of theke, Zhao Zhenfengs feet were deeply embedded in the ground. In front of him, two ravines tens of meters long were clearly visible. He looked at his right hand, which had just shed with Chen Shengs, with an extremely gloomy expression. The surface of his twisted arm, where the skin was split like shattered porcin with fresh blood continuously seeping out. This injury was not a problem for Zhao Zhenfeng. With his physical condition, he could recover quickly. He was just irritated that he had been too careless, not activating his Breathing Technique in time, and was thus repelled by the enemy. And also Whoosh! Zhao Zhenfeng raised his head, staring straight ahead. A wave of furious wind suddenly rushed towards him again, blowing his hair strands backwards. His muscr arm, filled with deep blue patterns, once again emerged in the air, striking his head with overwhelming force. Was he nning to beat him while he was down?! Zhao Zhenfengs eyes turned red. Endless humiliation welled up within him. As a direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Power Sect, his martial arts talent was exceptionally high. Since bing a martial artist, he progressed extremely quickly. This gave him a deeply ingrained arrogant personality. He always condescendingly looked down on all those weaker than him. He had never experienced what he was going through today, being wounded by a single hit and repeatedly put under pressure. Whats more, From the patterns on the opponents arm, He was likely the true culprit who had attacked Xiang Zeng only a few days ago, leaving Xiang Zeng brain -disabled and causing theplete loss of the Power Sects dignity. This new grievance was added on top of the old grudge. The desire to kill surged up in Zhao Zhenfengs mind at this moment. Inhale As he raised his left arm to meet Chen Shengs attack simultaneously, The air around him visibly fluctuated, with copious amounts of air flowing into his body through the gaps between his teeth. Zhao Zhenfeng was about to initiate the Breathing Technique. But how could Chen Sheng let him do as he pleased? You inhale your mother?! Smack! Chen Sheng converted his punch into a palm, directly mping Zhao Zhenfengs mouth shut. Seeking death! A sh of murderous intent appeared in Zhao Zhenfengs eyes. Even if he hadnt initiated the Breathing State yet, This full-on punch wasnt something an ordinary martial artist could take. Hence, He ignored Chen Shengs palm clutching his head, Gathered all his strength in his left arm, and directly mmed it towards the empty space in front of him. Boom! A dull sound echoed. Huh? Zhao Zhenfengs eyes widened. He was sure he had hit the enemy. But the sensation from his fist felt extremely wrong! Bang! The ground copsed within dozens of meters around the two of them at the same time. Zhao Zhenfeng also felt a huge forceing from Chen Shengs body. It wasnt less than the full strength of his own punch. Crack! The colossal force swept in, causing Zhao Zhenfengs arm to break instantly. Intense pain continuously stimted his nerves. But before Zhao Zhenfeng could react, He suddenly felt lighter. At the same time, his vision rapidly rose upward. Chen Sheng just held Zhao Zhenfengs head and lifted him into midair. Then, Gave a fierce m towards the ground! Boom! The ground trembled. The cracks that were already distributed around them expanded even more, countless shattered stones and dust lifted, intertwining with the falling raindrops from the sky. The incessant gunfire amidst the rain abruptly ceased. The surrounding armed personnel almost stumbled from the sudden shake. As for Zhao Zhenfeng at the center of the seismic activity, His body was deeply embedded into the ground, blood constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth. But even so, Chen Sheng could clearly hear that his in-body heartbeat was not the slightest bit weak, but actually growing stronger. Obviously. Chen Sheng had not been sessful in interrupting the opponents activation of his Breathing Technique just now. But this was within his expectation. A Martial Artist who has reached the Breathing State, activating the Breathing Technique was second nature, not something simply interrupted by stopping their breathing. Thinking this, Chen Shengs gaze was icy. He had killed Xiang Zeng and Zhou Zheng. He and the Power Sect were already at the stage of fighting till death. Even if he did not kill Zhao Zhenfeng, thetter would be aiming to kill him. As such, Now he had the chance to kill Zhao Zhenfeng. Why not take it? Therefore. Die! His arms transformed into countless shadow punches, frenziedly pounding towards Zhao Zhenfeng beneath him. Youre the one who will die! Being continuously attacked by Chen Sheng, a strong sense of humiliation made Zhao Zhenfeng look mad. He raised his broken arms, fearlessly meeting Chen Shengs descending fists with a punch. The next second. Boom boom boom!!! The earth was shaking madly, far more intense than before. Around theke, cracks were rapidly spreading and merging. The Martial Arts Association and the personnel of the Wuan Bureau, just struggling to keep their bnce and avoid the ground fissures, were already exhausting their whole strength. They simply had no time to care about Chen Sheng. Such a dreadful scene, Comparable to the power of heaven and earth. Could this really be something that humans can do?! Off at a distance, While Wang He was dodging the spreading cracks, his eyes kept ncing towards the center of the battlefield. Even though that area was already obscured by the rising dust and falling rain curtain, making him unable to see the situation clearly. But Wang He still felt his legs trembling. Did this have anything to do with Martial Arts or Martial Artists at all? Just fighting caused such amotion. They were simply monsters. Not from the same world as him at all. Listening to the continuous explosion sound in his ears, about to burst his eardrums. The determination to reach the pinnacle of Martial Artists, deep in Wang Hes heart. At this quiet moment, had turned into dust. Gone without a trace. On the battlefield side. Chen Shengs massive fists rained down like a heavy downpour, shing with Zhao Zhenfengs fist time and time again. The ground beneath the two of them kept sinking. In the blink of an eye, Even theke water started pouring in. However, Although he was in an advantageous position, Chen Shengs face did not show the slightest bit of excitement. Instead, his brows furrowed deeper. With each sh between him and Zhao Zhenfeng, Thetters life response not only didnt weaken, but even grew stronger. At the start, Zhao Zhenfengs arm would get more twisted with every collision with Chen Sheng. But now, As time passed, his arm was slowly recovering. Moreover, the forceing from each collision was gradually increasing. Until now, Even though it still wasnt a match for Chen Sheng, it was already not as easily defeated as before. And Zhao Zhenfeng. No longer had the appearance of the white-faced pretty boy from before. In his eyes, countless tiny pitch-ck pupils formedpound eyes, shing an unnerving chill. His originally fair skin had turned brownish, there was even ayer of carapace, continuously shattered under Chen Shengs onught, but it also continuously regenerated, making Chen Sheng feel his punching sensation bing harder. Most bizarrely, Was the faint red light flowing on Zhao Zhenfengs body. This red light seemed to ignore defenses. During his shes with Chen Sheng, it corroded his fists non-stop. Until now, The surface of Chen Shengs skin had already been corroded off ayer, revealing bloody bones. And the gaze of Zhao Zhenfeng became colder and colder. As if waiting for the moment Chen Shengs strength was depleted, to counterkill him. Brother Chen, you wont be able to kill him, better enter the Sealed Land first. At this time, Shen Zimings voice entered his ears. Upon hearing this, Even if Chen Sheng was unwilling, he had to admit that killing Zhao Zhenfeng in a short amount of time was likely impossible. As for maxing out the Xuanwu Transformation, it was too risky. Although the maximum level of Xuanwu Transformation could elevate Chen Shengs Great Strength to a new height. But if he couldnt kill Zhao Zhenfeng in a short amount of time, the one to die would be Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng did not want to put himself in danger without reaching a desperate situation with no way out. Thinking this. I understand. Chen Shengs gaze deepened.eastern fantasy The next second. Swoosh! The wild onught that was like a heavy downpour suddenly stopped. When Zhao Zhenfengs face showed shock, before he could react. Chen Sheng pushed off with both feet. The huge body rose from the ground, instantly leaping out of the deep pit. As his body hit the ground, Chen Sheng didnt pause at all, he rushed toward theke. Trying to escape?! But at this moment. Zhao Zhenfengs cold voice came from behind. It was finally his turn to counterattack, how could he let Chen Sheng escape so easily? Boom! In the deep pit, the booming sound rose again. Zhao Zhenfeng, whose skin was radiating a red light and body surface was continuously steaming, quickly leapt out of the pit to chase after Chen Sheng. However, Under thebined effects of Xuanwu Transformation and the heavy rain, Chen Shengs speed was not any slower than Zhao Zhenfengs. In the blink of an eye, He was the first one to leap into theke. p_ Theke water instantly exploded into a shower of spray. Zhao Zhenfeng followed closely, jumping in after him. However, Just as he dived underwater. Zhao Zhenfengs eyes widened instantly. Wheres the person?! Chapter 177 - 162: Holy Sect and the Second Breakthrough Chapter 177: Chapter 162: Holy Sect and the Second Breakthrough Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Interesting!¡± ¡°So interesting! !¡± At the top of the mountain peak. Looking at the mess, as if thekeshore had been bombarded by missiles one after another. Mr. Shen grinned from ear to ear, dancing with exaggeratedughter. Although from beginning to end, the attacker who fought with Zhao Zhenfeng only revealed a pair of thick arms engraved with deep blue patterns. But Mr. Shen could be 100% certain. The opponent was the powerful Faceless Man he had noticed before. Mr. Shen was very interested in the identity of this Faceless Man. And the other party had the ability to hide, maybe¡ Thinking about it, Mr. Shen looked at the gradually calmingke and the official personnel around him who had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the battle. By now, five minutes had passed. Neither Zhao Zhenfeng nor the attacker appeared. His restless heart couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. His eyes shed with cunning, and at the same time, he pressed the inte beside his ear. ¡°You guys, charge¡¡± Whoosh! Mr. Shen took a lunge forward, pointing ahead, assuming a charging posture. ¡°Charge!!!!¡± The words fell. Shadows flickered in the woods. On thekeshore. Ssh! ¡°Heyah!¡± Gasping for breath, Wang He, who had just recovered from the aftermath of the battle, could only support himself on the ground with both hands, barely holding up his body. Most of his clothes were shattered, revealing blood-stained skin covered with wounds. Fresh blood seeped from his injuries; mixed with the dust and rainwater on his body, Wang He looked miserable. The reason he had fallen to this state was only because he didn¡¯t run far enough when Chen Sheng and Zhao Zhenfeng were fighting. After he rested a while, Wang He felt his strength slightly improving. Trembling legs propped up his body, Wang He slowly stood up from the ground. He felt unbearable pain emanating from every part of his body. He looked around. Thekeshore ground on this side had long been messed up. Large chunks of stone jumbled together, and the surface was densely covered with deep, bottomless cracks. From time to time, people could be seen struggling to stand up behind the rocks. They were Wu¡¯an Bureau personnel who had also been caught in the aftermath. These people were not as badly injured as Wang He because they were wearing protective gear and were far enough away from the battlefield. ¡°Prioritize treating the wounded and remain vignt.¡± ¡°Immediately draw personnel from the surrounding areas to call back- Now that Zhao Zhenfeng had disappeared, someone had to take charge of the situation. Standing on a broken stone, Wang He directed the actions of the people around him. Every time his gaze swept across the center of the battlefield, where Zhao Zhenfeng and Chen Sheng had fought, a look of fear shed across his face. If the terrain on the outskirts of thekeshore was destroyed, The terrain in the center of the battlefield waspletely changed. A huge pit, almost 100 meters in diameter and seven or eight meters deep, appeared on thekeshore, creating a forcible opening in theke. Surroundingke water poured in, filling nearly half of it. Witnessing such terrifying power, Wang He had only seen it in novels before. It made him wonder if he was dreaming. Regrettably, The pain in his body and the fatigue filling his mind repeatedly reminded him, This was the real world. It was just more fantastical. Now, The surface of theke had returned to calm. Wang He didn¡¯t know the specific situation of Zhao Zhenfeng and the attackers. But thinking of Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s previous instructions, Wang He immediately looked worriedly at the surrounding woods, which were also in disarray. Behind those broken, copsed trees was endless darkness. Even though there was no abnormality in his line of sight, In Wang He¡¯s eyes, it seemed as if there were enemies lurking in the darkness, constantly watching them, looking for the opportunity to swarm over and tear them to shreds. With that thought, Wang He shuddered. He looked around at the armed personnel who were continuously treating the wounded and guarding the surroundings. ¡°Everyone, be ready at any timeBefore he could finish, Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! As if to confirm Wang He¡¯s suspicions, The breaking air sound pierced through the rain curtain and went straight into his ears. Whoosh! Wang He¡¯s face was filled with horror as he looked around. Both near and far, Several figures rushed out of the darkness deep in the woods towards them. He could clearly see that these enemies¡¯ faces all wore masks. Sheep-faced and monkey-faced. Apparently, Seeing Zhao Zhenfeng not reappearing for a long time, the Holy Sect decided tounch a second charge. ¡°Enemy attack! Without hesitation, Wang He¡¯s shouting instantly cut through the rain curtain and echoed in the sky above theke. Zhao Zhenfeng had anticipated the Holy Sect¡¯s second attack. Previously, Zhao Zhenfeng had nned to pretend to enter theke while having the personnel on various sides on standby to lure tne HOIY sect¡¯s people and Wipe them out in one fell swoop, so as not to leave any troubles. However, he didn¡¯t expect Chen Sheng to suddenly appear and catch him off guard. Wang He didn¡¯t know how Zhao Zhenfeng was doing. But since the Holy Sect had charged, he could only do his best to intercept them while praying for Zhao Zhenfeng to appear safe and sound. At this moment, As Wang He gave the order, Gunshots immediately rang out in the rain. Armored personnel immediately fired bullets from their rifles at the rapidly approaching Holy Sect people. Each team now had at least four people working together. When two of them changed their ammunition, the other two threw their concussion grenades at the distance to dy the enemy¡¯s approach while quickly filling the firepower gap. Such a response would be effective against weaker Holy Sect members like the monkey-faced ones. But against powerful martial artists like the sheep-faced and monkey-faced ones, the effectiveness was minimal. After the first wave of attack. Only a small number of monkey-faced men fell to the ground with bullets. As for the sheep-faced men, they had already approached the ranks of the armed personnel in an instant. It looked like they were about to ughter them all. Bang! At this moment, a huge body descended from above. It was Wang He, who had barely activated his breathing state. Facing these powerful martial artists, the only ones that could slightly hinder them were the martial artists from the Martial Arts Association. Even though he knew that he was no match for the enemy, escaping was not part of Wang He¡¯s code of conduct. He had to block them even if he could not! ¡°Ridiculous.¡± Looking at Wang He who didn¡¯tunch an attack immediately but took on a defensive posture, a sneer shed across the eyes of the sheep-faced man who had broken into the formation. Swish! The sheep-faced man¡¯s arm shot out like lightning, piercing through the rain curtain and striking Wang He¡¯s right rib. But what he didn¡¯t expect was, in the face of his own attack, Wang He didn¡¯t dodge or avoid it, but instead closed in. Bang! A fistnded solidly on Wang He¡¯s ribs. He let out a muffled groan, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged in an instant. But his movements didn¡¯t stop. Two thick arms reached out and grabbed the sheep-faced man. While the enemy was still unresponsive, Wang He quickly tightened his arms and lifted the sheep-faced man into midair. ¡°Idiot!¡± The sheep-faced man, furious, couldn¡¯t help butugh. With the difference in strength between them, it would only take an instant for him to break free. And by doing this, Wang He had put himself in mortal danger. Without any hesitation, his fingers turned into ws and grabbed toward Wang He¡¯s back. Plop! In front of the sheep-faced man¡¯s iron-like fingers, Wang He¡¯s defenses were as good as nothing. Without encountering any resistance, his fingers pierced through his skin and headed straight for Wang He¡¯s heart. If this grabbed hold, even if Wang He was a martial artist and had perfected his breathing technique, he would undoubtedly die. But Wang He didn¡¯t let go because of this. ¡°Fire! !!!! ¡± He roared with ferocity, every single vein on his face bulging. And the armed personnel around him. Had already prepared. At the same moment as Wang He¡¯s voice rang out. Bang bang bang! ! A series of gunshots sounded almost simultaneously. The hand that was about to grab Wang He¡¯s heart suddenly paused. Warm blood covered Wang He¡¯s face, and arge part of it rushed into his mouth. The smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, making his stomach churn. However, joy quickly surfaced on Wang He¡¯s face. Enduring the pain, he pulled the hand that was embedded in his back out. With a casual swing. With a plop. The sheep-faced¡no, the headless corpse fell to the ground, sshing water everywhere. Standing in ce, Wang He could only feel his mind getting dizzy, and his vision gradually darkening. He shook his head, knowing that now was not the time to lose consciousness. There were still many enemies to be dealt with. However, just as Wang He thought so, the moment he took a step, his body stumbled. With a thump. His huge body fell to the ground. Fresh blood kept pouring from his back. The wound was sorge that Wang He couldn¡¯t even use his muscles to block it. He couldn¡¯t even maintain the operation of his breathing state, and his body could only gradually shrink. ¡°Heh¨C¡± His breathing became more and morebored. Wang He slowly lifted his head and looked forward. Through his blurry vision, he could see ck figures rushing out of the woods and rapidly approaching. The situation was bing more and more critical. He wanted to stand up, but his body seemed to havepletely disconnected from his brain and didn¡¯t obey hismands. In the end, his body fell to the ground. Wang He¡¯s vision waspletely plunged into darkness. But just before his consciousness fellpletely into darknesss shing he seemed to faintly hear the sound of water sshing not far away. When Zhao Zhenfeng emerged from the water again, his face was extremely gloomy. He didn¡¯t catch the attacker. Once the enemy entered the water, they disappeared without a trace. After investigating, Zhao Zhenfeng realized that it wasn¡¯t that the attacker had disappeared, but that they had moved incredibly fast underwater, and like they had a clear target, they swam straight towards the deep end. Zhao Zhenfeng was only a momentte in entering the water, and the attacker had already swum to a depth of more than ten meters. Just as Zhao Zhenfeng was relentlessly pursuing them, determined to not let go of the attackerhe heard noisesing from the shore. Left with no choice, Zhao Zhenfeng had to go back to the shore to deal with the Holy Sect first, then look for the attacker in the Sealed Land. At this moment, his sharp eyes prated the rain curtain and looked around. He saw the struggling Wu¡¯an Bureau and Martial Arts Association members, and in the distance on the ground, the unconscious Wang He. Zhao Zhenfeng furrowed his brows and showed an impatient expression. At this moment, he deeply realized how right the principle of the Power Sect valuing strength was. These weaklings were useless in any task. They only dragged down the footsteps of the strong.. Chapter 178 - 163: Obstruction and the Power of Nuclear Fist Chapter 178: Chapter 163: Obstruction and the Power of Nuclear Fist Trantor: 549690339 Since joining the Power Sect, Zhao Zhenfeng had never suffered such humiliation as he did today. At this moment, he only wanted to quickly eliminate these Holy Sect scums, delve deep into theke to catch the attacker, and beat them to death alive. Thus, after quickly observing the surrounding environment, Whoosh! Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s figure turned into a red phantom, rapidly closing in on the Holy Sect members nearby. In the blink of an eye, he had traversed several hundred meters, rushing into the enemy ranks. ¡°Not good¡ª¡± A monkey-faced man looked horrified, seeing only a sh of red light before him. The next second, his body burst into blood and scattered in all directions. Zhao Zhenfeng did not stop, heading straight for the next target. But at this moment, ¡°Woohoo!!!¡± An excited strange cry sounded from above. Apanied by the whistling sound of heavy objects rubbing against the air. A shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the enemy ranks, rapidly expanding in an instant. Boom!!! The ground shook, and arge amount of rubble sshed out. Airwaves spread rapidly around, and some weaker Holy Sect members were instantly rolled into the distance. ¡°Everybody charge! ! !¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, I¡¯ll hold him off!!¡± Passionate voices rang clearly through the rain. The owner of the voice seemed not to care about how much damage their impact had caused to the Holy Sect members around them. Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s figure came to a halt. His arm was set in front of him. A terrifying fist,rger than his head, held his arm tightly in its grip. Zhao Zhenfeng furrowed his brow, trying to pull away. The ground beneath him cracked inch by inch. But the other party¡¯s arm did not budge. Clearly, the strength of this suddenly appearing person was no less than Zhao Zhenfeng in his Breathing State, and even faintly surpassed him. ¡°I¡¯ve long admired your name.¡± ¡°This¡ unknown disciple of the Power Sect.¡± Mr. Shen grinned, revealing a mouthful of shiny, cold white teeth. Now, he no longer looked like an ordinary young man as before. His figure was now more massive than ever. His nearly five-meter-tall body was covered with giant muscles, like granite. His body was covered with thick hair, each strand shining metal-like luster like steel wires. His arms were extremely thick and powerful. They hung naturally and could touch his shins. He looked like King Kong that Zhao Zhenfeng had seen in a movie, but smaller. Seeing another person emerge from nowhere and trying to stop him, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s face grew darker. Trash after trash¡ that was enough. The killing intent in his heart surged like a storm at sea. He was toozy to argue with his opponent. If the opponent wanted to hold him back, just kill him and deal with the remaining Holy Sect people. As for the life and death of the surrounding Wu¡¯an Bureau and others, Zhao Zhenfeng no longer cared. He did not want to be dragged down by trash any longer. Thinking about it, Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes lowered. His knees slightly bent. The red light that had originally faintly emanated from his skin began to brighten like it was stimted. Arge amount of steam rose from his body. Dong Dong Dong. The sound of his rapidly pounding heart echoed over theke. Shhh¡ª Scorching sounds came from where the two¡¯s palms and arms met. Seeing this, Mr. Shen gasped, immediately putting on a mournful expression. He had participated in countless Holy Sect operations and even assisted the Four Saints. He had naturally had many encounters with Power Sect members. Therefore, he immediately recognized that Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s current state was the starting stance for the Power Sect¡¯s Nuclear Fist. In the face of the Nuclear Fist, he had never seen anyone emerge unscathed. Although the Power Sect disciple before him was probably only barely capable of using it, But it was not something he could swallow. As for letting go¡ If he let go now and allowed Zhao Zhenfeng to act as he pleased, he feared that everyone except himself would die. Therefore, Mr. Shen looked around. Under his own distraction just now, Many people from the Holy Sect had sessfully bypassed the defense circle of the Wu¡¯an Bureau, and they were about to enter theke. Even some carried their injured colleagues on their backs. It was a scene of camaraderie. ¡°Everyone!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve enjoyed working with you during this brief time.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget me!!!¡± He raised his other hand, waving goodbye to the departing crowd. His voice even carried a hint of tears. But no one paid attention to him. Ssh after ssh. That was the sound of the masked people diving into the water. Seeing this, Mr. Shen¡¯s face showed a touch of relief. He looked down at Zhao Zhenfeng beneath him, with an apologetic expression on his face. ¡°Esteemed¡ young man.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t we talk things over?¡± Unfortunately, What answered him was only the swiftly exploding airwaves. And also, The red light that filled his entire vision. Boom!!!!! The horrifying st wave instantly swept around. With the ground trembling wildly, it seemed to have received an unprecedented shock and instantly copsed. Giant rocks flew up and fell into the water in the distance, sshing. ¡°Whoosh¡ª Zhao Zhenfeng slowly retracted his fist, exhaling a dense white mist from his mouth. The red light on his body gradually faded away. Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s Nuclear Fist was only barelypleted. With his physical strength, using it consumed too much energy. And it required a long time to gather energy before it could be released. If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Shen holding onto Zhao Zhenfeng tightly, preventing him from breaking free, Zhao Zhenfeng would not have used this move in battle. Unfortunately¡ Zhao Zhenfeng looked in front of him. In front of him, the aftermath of the Nuclear Fist had sted a trench that was dozens of meters long and five meters wide into the ground. Inside the trench, was a thick, severed armying quietly. That was Mr. Shen¡¯s arm. The instant before Zhao Zhenfeng was about to hit him, Mr. Shen made an immediate decision, severed his arm, and escaped. Now, Zhao Zhenfeng looked around. The ground surrounding him was like ruins, and the figure of his opponent had long disappeared. First, there was the baffling attacker. Then there was Mr. Shen. One after another, they popped up and hopped around in front of him. Not being able to kill these two irritated Zhao Zhenfeng. Thinking about this, He touched the lining of his clothes and felt the hard touch between his fingers. Inside it, was a restorative developed from Sect Master of Power Sect¡¯s blood, using thetest technology. It was an evolved version of the medicine used to save Xiang Zeng, capable of giving him far superior strength for one hour. If it weren¡¯t for the side effects of the medicine, which would cause the user to lose strength in a short time, Zhao Zhenfeng would have drunk it and killed Chen Sheng as soon as he encountered him. However, He had a feeling that he would encounter these two again soon. Next time they meet, there would be no chance of escape. A cold gleam flickered in Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s eyes. After that, He scanned the ground around him. Many members of the Martial Arts Association and the Wu¡¯an Bureauy motionless on the ground, their fate unknown. Now, he only wanted to chase after the Holy Sect members and the previous attacker as soon as possible, and he didn¡¯t care about the fate of these people. After briefly notifying personnel toe for rescue via the inte, Zhao Zhenfeng did not care about the responses on the other side. With a sh, he directly plunged into theke. Ssh Atst, After several battles, a brief calm came to thekeside.. Chen Sheng took a deep breath. With a teeth-gnashing friction sound, his body gradually shrank back to its normal size. Wisps of white mist rose from his skin, as if he was wearing white armor. Sweat beads formed on his forehead as well. He hadn¡¯t experienced this kind of exhaustion in a long time. The second stage of Xuanwu Transformation. With his current physical Attribute, he could barely maintain it for about three minutes. And it had been just over two minutes since the battle began. If he didn¡¯t exit the Xuanwu Transformation state soon, he would copse from exhaustion. Chen Sheng tried clenching his fist. A strong sense of weakness immediately came from his arm. Physical weakness was only part of it. Mostly, it was because his Strength Attribute suddenly dropped from over five hundred points to just over two hundred points. Fortunately, as his Attribute continued to increase, Chen Sheng could clearly feel his physical strength recovering rapidly. It would take only a couple of minutes for him to return to his peak form. With that, Chen Sheng¡¯s ears twitched slightly. The roaring sound of the green airflow was still some distance away from the cave; it would probably take a while before it arrived. When the airflow arrived, Chen Sheng would be able to follow it into the next cave. His attention immediately fell on the stone wall in front of him. Zhao Zhenfeng, who was originally embedded in the stone wall, had disappeared. He had been reduced to a pool of pulp by Chen Sheng¡¯s relentless assault over a minute. In its ce was a deep, twisted darkness, with asional flickers of lightning specks. In the previous battle, it seemed that Chen Sheng had been attacking Zhao Zhenfeng without any resistance from start to finish. But he knew, although his Strength Attribute was several dozen points higher than Zhao Zhenfeng, it was far from enough to render Zhao Zhenfeng unable to resist. It was only after Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s body was embedded in the stone wall that his actions seemed to have been greatly restricted, allowing Chen Sheng to suppress him continuously. As a result, Chen Sheng was very curious about this dark substance. ¡°What the hell is this?¡± He looked at the writhing darkness in front of him, puzzled. ¡°It should be a protectiveyer to prevent the secret realm from being discovered, right?¡± At that moment, Shen Zi Ming¡¯s voice sounded in his ear. He had been hiding in the corner of the cave to avoid being swept away by the aftermath of the battle. Now that the battle was over, he finally dared toe out. While talking, Shen Zi Ming appeared behind Chen Sheng. With a push of his feet, he jumped onto Chen Sheng¡¯s shoulder. A flicker of shock shed in the corner of his eyes as he looked at Chen Sheng. Shen Zi Ming had known Chen Sheng since he first started practicing martial arts. He still remembered that when he first saw Chen Sheng in action, thetter had to ambush a Hidden Energy Warrior and was almost killed. Not to mention a Hidden Energy Warrior like the pig-faced man. Shen Zi Ming had reason to believe, even if there were a hundred Transformation Realm Fighters standing in front of Chen Sheng, they would probably not be enough for him to p. This progress was simply astounding. Although Chen Sheng¡¯s current strength was not rare in the Martial Arts Association Headquarters of Kyoto, those people in Kyoto, had started their cultivation before the Tide Rising Period and gained terrifying power with the help of abundant resources and technology. And Chen Sheng¡¯s situation¡ Shen Zi Ming dared not ask further. His progress had already far surpassed the limits of talent. However, everyone had their own secrets. If Chen Sheng didn¡¯t reveal his, Shen Zi Ming wouldn¡¯t pry. As friends, Shen Zi Ming was naturally happy to see Chen Sheng growing stronger. ¡°I¡¯m not exactly sure either,¡± he said. ¡°From ancient times to the present, humans have fought against Heavenly People many times, and the methods of constructing the Sealed Land have greatly varied.¡± ¡°Some are crude, while others haveyers of mechanisms.¡± ¡°This darkness might have been left behind by the human tribes who built the Sealed Land, as a means to prevent the Sealed Land from being discovered or destroyed.¡± Looking at the darkness in front of him, Shen Zi Ming shared the information he knew. ¡°Is that so?¡± Chen Sheng rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. As the two spoke, the sound of the green airflow grew closer. This darkness was incredibly strange. Without absolute confidence, Chen Sheng, curious as he was, didn¡¯t dare to investigate further. ¡°Let¡¯s focus on finding the Heavenly Person Seal first.¡± With that, Chen Sheng stepped back, preparing to follow the green airflow to the next cave as it arrived. St! But as Chen Sheng stepped back, weird sounds and sensations came from under his foot. It was as if he had stepped on something viscous instead of a solid ground. Before he could look down, in front of him, an abnormal change suddenly urred. Squeak¡ª Amid the hair-raising squirming sounds, the twisted darkness began to surge outwards, slowly spreading in all directions. Chen Sheng¡¯s face changed, and he quickly retreated. The image of Zhao Zhenfeng being stuck by the darkness, unable to move, was still fresh in his mind. He didn¡¯t want to repeat Zhao Zhenfeng¡¯s fate. However, the squirming sound came from all directions. Whoosh! Both Chen Sheng and Shen Zi Ming felt a sense of foreboding in their hearts. They both looked around at the same time. Sure enough, the surrounding rock walls, the ground beneath their feet, and even the ceiling upied by stctites were all affected.. Chapter 190 - 190: 170: Respected Elder and the Inevitable Death Game 2 Chapter 190 - 190: 170: Respected Elder and the Inevitable Death Game 2 Trantor: 549690339 In every corner of the Dragon Cave, there was a ck liquid, constantly seeping out and squirming as if it were alive. ¡®What the hell?! ¡± Chen Sheng felt like his scalp was about to explode. He would rather fight Zhao Zhenfeng again than face such a strange and terrifying thing. Boom!
