Then My Leveling Up

"……"

The air grew even more silent.

After several seconds, Chu Sheng remained standing there, unmoving like a mountain.

In contrast, the old man's face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Useless old man!"

Chu Sheng sneered, raising an eyebrow as he spun around, his arm bone vibrating intensely, muscles tensing.

His powerful punch shot out like a cannonball towards the old man's chest.

Everyone on the scene's pupils constricted.

He's even attacking the old man?!

Boom—

With a violent explosion, the old man, like a sack of paper, was sent flying over twenty meters away.

He fell to the ground without a hint of movement.

[Eliminated a malicious offender who deliberately sought trouble]

[Justice Points +1500]

Eliminated? He's dead?

The old geezer really couldn't take a hit.

He was all talk and no action, always trying to act tough. He deserved to die.

Gu Fang rushed to the old man's side, and in the next second, she exclaimed.

"Third Uncle is dead!!!"

The members of the Gu family also turned ashen, staring intently at Chu Sheng.

If Gu Ruhai hadn't spoken, they would have attacked him long ago.

However, Gu Ruhai was astonished by the terrifying strength Chu Sheng had displayed.

Even though the old man was old, his cultivation of Qi Sea Realm Stage Seven was undeniable.

Even an ordinary cultivator of the same stage wouldn't be able to kill him with a single punch.

At least one would need to be at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.

This meant that this young man, whose aura was only at Qi Sea Realm Stage Three, had a true strength comparable to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm!?

What kind of monstrous talent was this?

He was not inferior to Changge at all…

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Chu Sheng's gaze was contemptuous; he didn't consider these people anything to worry about.

"This old man attacked first, assaulting a Jingwu Bureau law enforcer. I had the right to use unlimited self-defense."

"It was just one punch, and the old man got off easy."

Hearing this, the Gu family members almost lost control of their anger.

Gu Ruhai said coldly, "Are you here to investigate a case or to kill people?"

Chu Sheng chuckled lightly, "A conflict?"

Then, he pointed to the cave ahead and asked.

"Gu Changge is inside here!?"

"So what if he is? The cave is full of lightning turbulence. Do you dare to go in?"

Lightning turbulence?

Chu Sheng secretly thought, isn't this exactly what my abilities are suited for?

He possessed the Thunderous Saint Body, which could completely immunize him against lightning damage. No matter what kind of lightning turbulence it was, it couldn't harm him.

He turned and instructed Su Qing.

"Wait for me here. I'll go in and get him!"

Afterward, Chu Sheng walked directly towards the cave.

The Gu family members all stared with wide eyes.

Gu Ruhai's opinion of Chu Sheng rose considerably. He thought to himself.

"This kid's strength is probably on par with Changge's. I just don't know if he can successfully bring Changge back."

"It's difficult. Changge should have already advanced to Qi Sea Realm Stage Four by now. The gap of a minor realm is equivalent to a chasm for the most elite geniuses."

"This is good too, it can be considered revenge for Third Uncle…"

The reason the Gu family agreed to issue a letter of understanding for Gu Changge.

It was simply because this fellow was too much of a genius.

Having lived rough and scavenged for scraps in his early years, Gu Changge still managed to cultivate his way to the peak of the Body Tempering realm.

After returning to the Gu family, he directly surged to the third level of the Qi Sea realm in just two years!

Because they felt indebted to him, the Gu family's resources were all directed towards him.

His two older sisters doted on him, showering him with care and affection.

His younger brother was willing to use fewer of his own resources to help support his older brother.

It's a pity that he turned a blind eye to all the kindness his family showed him.

He would scrutinize everyone with a cold face, frequently accusing this person of having ulterior motives and that person of harboring ill intentions.

He even called his younger brother a "white lotus."

If anything didn't go his way, he would threaten to disown them and sever ties with the family.

After being taken to doctors for examination, he was diagnosed with persecutory delusion, and the more he was treated, the more insane he became.

Finally, the tragedy occurred that night.

It was his younger brother Gu Zile's eighteenth birthday.

Gu Changge fled the Gu family after committing murder.

As he escaped, he also yelled out—

incomprehensible phrases such as "late concern," "Supreme Bone," and "Demon God."

The cave was indeed filled with chaotic lightning as Gu Ruhai had said.

But to Chu Sheng, it was nothing.

He swaggered deeper into the cave.

Before long, he heard strange voices.

"A pair of Chong Tong (Double Pupils) is an invincible path; why borrow another's bone?"

"Who cares about late concern? I choose the life of a Demon God."

"I'm pretty much this kind of person; I'm just joking with you..."

Chu Sheng's cringe was so intense he almost developed cancer. He was forced to interrupt Gu Changge's reverie.

"Sorry to interrupt."

"I'm an inspector from the Jingwu Bureau, and I'm here to arrest you."

Gu Changge froze on the spot. The thing he hated most was being interrupted during his moment.

Turning to glare at Chu Sheng, Gu Changge's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"You've touched my reverse scale!"

"Oh, so what?" Chu Sheng asked calmly. "Are you planning to resist arrest?"

Seeing that Chu Sheng was much younger than him, Gu Changge frowned and said coldly.

"If you haven't even reached the fourth level of the Qi Sea realm, I'll be very unhappy, and the consequences will be severe."

"What a hassle..."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng opened his system panel, the deep blue panel spreading out.

"Then I'll just level up..."

[Ding]

[Cost 3900 Justice Points]

[Your martial arts cultivation has improved to the fourth level of the Qi Sea realm]

Before the text had even faded, a terrifying surge of energy erupted from Chu Sheng's body, tearing through the surrounding airflow like a ferocious dragon breaking through the abyss.

In his Dantian, the Qi Sea, which had been dormant for a day, churned once more.

Four spiritual energy vortexes, like scorching suns, ignited a prairie fire within his meridians.

Seeing Gu Changge frozen on the spot with a stiff expression, "Still not happy? You fellow..."

[Ding]

[Cost 4200 Justice Points]

[Your martial arts cultivation has improved to the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm]

[Ding]

[Consumed 4500 Justice Points]

[Your martial cultivation has advanced to the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm]

An even more terrifying surge of energy exploded than before, and Gu Changge was sent flying uncontrollably.

After crashing to the ground, he still maintained an expression of disbelief.

Five seconds to advance three minor realms!?

This is a cheat!!!

Chu Sheng grinned and slowly walked closer.

"You've reached the sixth level, happy now?"

Gu Changge nodded blankly.

"You have no regrets in death?"

Gu Changge nodded again.

"Good, then you can die..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Sheng raised his hand and swung his blade. A green energy light, carrying a chilling killing intent, tore through the air.

Gu Changge was instantly split in two.

Blood gushed out, and torn flesh mixed with organs splattered onto the ground, creating clouds of bloody mist.

[Eliminated an evil person who murdered their kin]

[Justice Points +2000]

Chu Sheng hadn't originally intended to kill Gu Changge, but he couldn't stand it when he was unhappy.

He could either be happy or live; Chu Sheng chose for him.

Anyway, it was a waste of air for an evil person to be alive.

It was better to just die and be done with it.

Clang—

Chu Sheng's Azure Edge Blade finally couldn't bear the strain and broke into two pieces.

It was only a first-tier weapon, so Chu Sheng didn't feel any pain and tossed it aside on the ground.

"I need to find a better blade..."
