Yet Xu Chen was completely unharmed.
Xu Chen was equally dumbfounded. Holy shit, that worked too?
He really hadn't done anything at all!
PS: Nine updates!!! Finally finished in the middle of the night—please send all kinds of support and stats!!!
Once the physical body became strong enough, it could shatter space and pulverize all things.
Xu Chen had seen that in his previous life, and he had experienced it firsthand as well.
He just hadn't expected that the Body Refining Heavenly Scripture, which he had only cultivated for a few days, could also shatter Ye Xuan's palm.
That was beyond his expectations.
The system had just said that as long as he did not actively beat Ye Xuan up, there seemed to be no problem.
He was not entirely certain, but he had not acted first just now.
Thus, he lightly brushed his white robes and sneered. "That's it? How dare you!"
Ye Xuan's expression turned incomparably ugly. Damn it, what kind of physical body was this?
He had already risen to the Mid-stage Third Rank. Even if he could not defeat Xu Chen, his palm should not have been shattered by the recoil, right?
Spirit Venerable reminded him at this moment, "A Fourth Rank physical body. I expended too much power in the inner region. Leave quickly."
Ye Xuan was greatly shocked. "A Fourth Rank physical body? How is that possible? Master, could you have made a mistake?"
Spirit Venerable said solemnly, "There is no mistake. This Xu Chen possesses towering talent and extraordinary gifts; he is no ordinary person.
Leave quickly. Go consume the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure first and see whether you can advance.
If you advance, you can come back and fight him then. You cannot beat him now."
Unwillingness showed on Ye Xuan's face, but he ultimately gritted his teeth. "Fine."
With that, he turned to leave.
Xu Chen said cheerfully, "Yo, running away because you can't win? Just like a dog. How embarrassing."
He felt that, as a villain, such words ought to roll right off his tongue.
A villain had to be ruthless, had to learn how to mock, had to learn how to be arrogant. Otherwise, what kind of villain would he be?
At Xu Chen's words, Ye Xuan's teeth nearly shattered.
Yet under Spirit Venerable's urging, he still left resolutely.
Xu Chen did not pursue him either. Logically speaking, now that Ye Xuan had the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure, he should be about to break through.
After breaking through, he should put on a grand display of swagger.
Xu Chen was waiting for that bastard Ye Xuan to finish showing off so the plot could end.
"Now, it's time to do something a villain should do."
"I remember that quite a few of Ye Xuan's lackeys from Fire Dao Academy came here."
"In the original plot, I, as the villain, was supposed to snatch their things. I can't skip this plot now."
Chuckling, Xu Chen followed the memories from his previous life and quickly went off to look for the people from Fire Dao Academy.
It seemed Fire Dao Academy also had one heroine.
What was her name again? Oh, Huo Ling'er.
Robbing the heroine's things should feel pretty great.
While Xu Chen was searching for the people from Fire Dao Academy, they were locked in a bitter battle.
The Demonic Cult disciples had already set their sights on them, and Huo Ling'er's group was even beginning to fall into a disadvantage.
Anger hung on her exquisite face. "You wicked Demonic Cult scum, how dare you be so arrogant."
The Demonic Cult members sneered. "What a pretty little girl. Tsk, tsk. You'll soon become our slave."
As they looked at Huo Ling'er, their eyes brimmed with lust.
It was said that Huo Ling'er was a genius of Jixia Academy's Fire Dao Academy, its academy flower as well—peerlessly beautiful and peerless in her command of fire.
At this moment, scarlet flames enveloped Huo Ling'er's entire body, multiplying her strength.
But even so, two fists could not fend off four hands, and she could only hold on bitterly.
"Everyone, hold on until Ye Xuan returns."
Huo Ling'er gritted her teeth.
Although she loathed Ye Xuan—he had been like this through all Ninety-Nine Cycles of Reincarnation—there was no helping it. Ye Xuan was currently the strongest person in their academy.
Just thinking about that disgusting man having to save her made her feel sick.
For a moment, she thought of Xu Chen.
She murmured inwardly, *In my previous life, I accidentally fell and scraped my right foot.
Xu Chen fetched medicine for me. Because of that, he delayed his master's mission and was reprimanded.
Yet Xu Chen never complained and carefully tended to my wound.
On the other hand, the protagonist Ye Xuan merely glanced at me and did not say a single word.
That is why, in my heart, Xu Chen is the man meant for me. Ye Xuan is not worth shit.
In this life, I will live for myself.*
At this moment, the Demonic Cult disciples sneered. "Hahaha, no matter who comes, it will be useless. You will all die."
Duanmu Xin, who was hidden in the shadows, secretly nodded at the sight.
Good. Huo Ling'er was Ye Xuan's woman.
Let the Demonic Cult people defile Huo Ling'er now. Ye Xuan could cry his eyes out afterward.
As one of the original heroines, she also understood the plot well and detested Ye Xuan.
She had been looking for Xu Chen just now, but unfortunately, she had not found him.
Xu Chen soon arrived, and when he saw this scene, he nodded.
He remembered that, according to the plot in his previous life, Ye Xuan was supposed to come out and play the hero saving the beauty.
But this time, Ye Xuan did not seem to have appeared yet.
"Holy shit, could it be that Ye Xuan was injured by my shockwave and is healing now?"
"If that's the case, won't the heroine be defiled?"
Xu Chen was somewhat dumbfounded.
If the heroine were defiled, the plot would one hundred percent come crashing down like the sky splitting and the earth cracking!
He could not let that happen, or he would definitely have to reincarnate again.
At this moment, Huo Ling'er collapsed weakly and gritted her teeth. "Damn it!"
The Demonic Cult disciples rubbed their hands together, their eyes gleaming. "Hehehe, come here, beauty."
With that, they moved forward.
"Heh, you bunch of idiots dare lay hands on people from my Jixia Academy?"
Just then, Xu Chen slowly stepped out and sneered.
He had decided: save them first, then rob them.
At those words, the Demonic Cult members froze. Who was this?
Duanmu Xin and Huo Ling'er were also stunned. What was going on?
This did not seem to have been in the original plot!

Duanmu Xin and Huo Ling'er never could have imagined that Xu Chen would be the one saving the beauty this time.
Although they knew that this life's plot had become somewhat inexplicable, they had not expected it to change so drastically.
For a moment, Duanmu Xin's eyes revealed a resentful look.
You fool. Huo Ling'er is Ye Xuan's woman. Why are you saving her?
She still remembered that in her previous life, Huo Ling'er had stabbed Xu Chen directly, then turned around and stood by Ye Xuan's side.
