No One Could Stop Him!

Breaking through in the middle of a fight?

This kid really was a Prodigy!

Ordinary people had to devote themselves completely to battle, especially when fighting two opponents at once.

There was simply no way they could spare a thought for cultivation or improving their realm.

But Chen Yunxuan? Not only was he holding his own, he'd actually managed to break through at a critical moment!

This was unheard of! Unseen of!

"Uncle Liu, have you ever seen anything like this?" Cheng Yushu asked, frowning.

"Never."

"Either there's something strange about this kid's cultivation technique, or... he could already have broken through to the Transcendence Realm Second Layer. He's just been suppressing his cultivation and holding back."

"I'm more inclined to believe he was suppressing his cultivation." Uncle Liu's expression was grave.

He'd been suppressing his cultivation?

That was certainly possible.

Wei Tianfeng and Wu Yuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wariness and worry.

Chen Yunxuan had already been so difficult to deal with at the Transcendence Realm First Layer. Now that he'd suddenly broken through to the Transcendence Realm Second Layer, wouldn't he be even more troublesome?

Feeling the surge of strength inside him after his breakthrough, Chen Yunxuan smiled.

"Our ancestor was right. Battle is the most effective and fastest way to improve one's strength."

Chen Yunxuan looked at Wei Tianfeng and Wu Yuan and said calmly, "This fight should be over."

"Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself, boy!"

"You really think that breaking through one layer means you can crush the two of us?" Wu Yuan said furiously.

"Whether it's true or not, there's only one way to find out!"

Chen Yunxuan said no more. His figure flashed, and in the next instant he was standing before Wei Tianfeng.

Chen Yunxuan's sudden appearance caught Wei Tianfeng completely off guard. Before he could react, Chen Yunxuan's fist had already sent him flying.

The blow hurled Wei Tianfeng backward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Holy crap! He only broke through, so how did his strength change this much?"

"Damn, Wei Tianfeng couldn't even take a single punch?"

"Is Chen Yunxuan trying to defy the heavens?"

"Trying? He's already done it."

"Terrifying! What a terrifying Youth!"

Wei Tianfeng was sent flying, leaving everyone dumbstruck. They knew Chen Yunxuan was a Prodigy, but had never imagined he could be such a Prodigy.

Wu Yuan was the first to react. The only thing he wanted now was to get away from here.

"Trying to leave?"

"Did I give you permission?"

Wu Yuan had just turned to flee when he realized Chen Yunxuan had appeared behind him at some point, blocking his way out.

"I admit—"

Before he could finish saying "defeat," Chen Yunxuan threw another punch, leaving Wu Yuan in the same state as Wei Tianfeng.

Silence!

The kind of silence that fell as if heaven and earth had frozen!

Nobody had expected the final result to be Chen Yunxuan's complete victory.

Not only had everyone else failed to predict this outcome, but neither Cheng Yushu nor Uncle Liu had expected it.

Uncle Liu, especially, felt his face burning. He'd just said Chen Yunxuan would run out of strength after twenty moves, yet the boy had broken through instead.

And he hadn't merely broken through. With a single punch, he'd defeated both Wei Tianfeng and Wu Yuan.

"We've lost. From now on, we'll return to Shangqing Sect and never leave again."

"Your Chen Family... has won."

They conceded!

The two Grand Elders of Shangqing Sect had admitted defeat and chosen never to leave the sect again for the rest of their lives.

Chen Yunxuan alone had left the number one sect in the Great Zhou Kingdom helpless.

Before this, anyone who said such a thing would have been called a lunatic, a dreamer.

But now, it had happened right before everyone's eyes.

"Ridiculous!"

"You've lost, and now you think you can just leave?"

"If I'd lost, would you have let me go?"

"Do you really think I'm too young to know any better?"

"Today, none of you are leaving!"

This had never been a sparring match. It had been a fight to the death, one that would decide both victory and survival!

How could they expect to say a few words after losing and simply walk away?

"You... don't push us too far!" Wu Yuan and Wei Tianfeng glared at Chen Yunxuan in fury.

"Push you too far? When you attacked me with the cultivation of the Transcendence Realm Ninth Layer Peak, did you think you were pushing me too far?"

"If I hadn't been strong enough, I'd already be a corpse."

"You've lived this long. Don't tell me you still don't understand that this world is nothing more than you kill me, and I kill you."

"I came here today prepared either to be killed by you or to kill you."

Hearing Chen Yunxuan's words, everyone felt he had a point, though they also thought he was going a little too far.

"How could there be such deep enmity between us?"

"Is there truly no possibility of reconciliation?" Wei Tianfeng asked with a frown.

"We had no enmity to begin with, but by chance, we've ended up on opposite sides."

"Besides, Shangqing Sect sent people to Yan Gui City to attack my Chen Family. Did you really think my Chen Family would pretend none of that had happened?"

What?

Shangqing Sect had sent people to Yan Gui City to attack the Chen Family?

The bystanders watching the spectacle were stunned. Wei Tianfeng and Wu Yuan were just as bewildered.

Because before today, they hadn't known a thing about it.

"Who?"

"Who in Shangqing Sect did something so stupid?" Wei Tianfeng roared furiously.

"It... it was me."

The Third Elder's face was flushed. He hadn't planned to admit it, but then he realized he wasn't the only one who knew about this. Better to confess than let someone else reveal it.

"You... who told you to do that?" When Wei Tianfeng saw it was his son, he was instantly consumed by fury.

"I was just—"

"Enough!"

"Does it matter who did it?"

"The outcome is the same!"

Chen Yunxuan didn't want to listen to their nonsense. What difference would it make if they explained everything clearly and got all the answers?

Reconciliation was out of the question!

"Master Cheng, please, you must save us!"

"Whatever happens, the Great Zhou Kingdom is your family's vassal. You can't just stand by and watch us get into trouble, can you?" The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom hurriedly pleaded with Cheng Yushu for help.

Cheng Yushu glanced at the King of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The show had been entertaining, but given who he was, he couldn't very well stand by and do nothing.

"Fine. I'll help you, since your Wu Family has been dutiful and well-behaved all these years."

After speaking, Cheng Yushu rose and looked toward Chen Yunxuan.

"Chen Yunxuan, right?"

"You're impressive. My name is Cheng Yushu, Young Master of the Northern Region Cheng Family."

"Have you heard of us?" Cheng Yushu asked, perfectly composed and looking down from on high.

The Northern Region Cheng Family?

He was actually from the Northern Region Cheng Family? No wonder the King treated him that way. He was no ordinary person!

Everyone was stunned. None of them had expected Cheng Yushu's status to be so distinguished.

In the Northern Domain, the Cheng Family was a colossus!

"Never heard of them!"

Those three simple words made everyone draw in a sharp breath.

Wasn't Chen Yunxuan far too arrogant? How could he dare speak so brazenly to the Young Master of the Cheng Family?

Even if he hadn't heard of them, he could at least have been polite!

But Chen Yunxuan truly had never heard of any Cheng Family.

He knew little about the Great Zhou Kingdom, let alone the Northern Domain.

"Hahaha, you're an interesting fellow."

"Well, now you've heard of us, haven't you?"

"Do me a favor and let this matter end here."

"From now on, you'll be a friend of my Cheng Family."

"It's better to resolve a feud than to keep it alive. Having another friend can't be a bad thing, right?" Cheng Yushu asked with a smile.

"Just as expected of the Young Master of the Cheng Family. What breadth of heart!"

"Such spirit, such generosity. Truly admirable."

"So this is how a scion of an Aristocratic Clan carries himself. Seeing it today, I can tell he's extraordinary."

"Exactly. Compared to him, Chen Yunxuan seems rash and petty."

Chen Yunxuan could hear the crowd's discussion, and so could Cheng Yushu.

The former remained unmoved; the latter was secretly pleased.

Chen Yunxuan glanced at Cheng Yushu and said calmly, "I don't think much of that."

At this, Cheng Yushu's expression changed.

You'd refused the toast only to drink the forfeit?

"Kid, do you really have a death wish?"

"I guess I'll survive."

"Hmph, then you've guessed wrong!"

"Uncle Liu!"

"Yes, Young Master!"
