That's it?

"Wu Chuqi, you did well today, killing a Level 20 Ancient Beast."

Zhuang Xihang counted the fake eyes in Wu Chuqi's cloth bag, a slight smile appearing in his eyes.

Wu Chuqi sighed softly:

"Actually, I still couldn't unleash my true strength. My Qi and Blood martial skill hasn't even begun, so my combat power is quite poor."

Zhuang Xihang nodded:

"That's right. Battles are precisely for enhancing the students' skill in their techniques. Even if you're at the peak of the Five Viscera Realm, without an introductory Qi and Blood martial skill, you won't be of much use."

Wu Chuqi wiped the blood off his body and looked at his younger brother beside him:

"Chuhua, it's the same for you. You lost to Chen Yan not only because your mastery of the Extreme Forging Realm was inferior to Chen Yan's, but also because of your technique."

Wu Chuhua remained silent. Chen Yan was a madman, and he didn't want to compete with a madman.

No, he was a madman before too.

As he spoke, Wu Chuqi looked at a youth standing outside the breeding area with a fierce expression. Not far from the latter, Li Qingyuan and others were also present.

The youth with the fierce expression was ranked eighth in this session of the Town Martial Class, Li Shaowu.

As for Li Qingyuan and the others, they didn't seem to get along with Li Shaowu.

"What's going on?" Wu Chuqi walked over.

"Brother Wu." Li Qingyuan forced a bitter smile and said:

"Chen Yan broke Zhang Qingsi's leg in the breeding area. Li Shaowu is waiting for Chen Yan to come out."

"Chen Yan hasn't come out yet?" Wu Chuqi was surprised. Chen Yan had been inside for quite a while.

"Yeah, he's still not out." Li Qingyuan shook his head. He was here to prevent Li Shaowu from making a move on Chen Yan.

In Li Qingyuan's mind, Li Shaowu was already an adversary to them. Since Chen Yan had a conflict with Li Shaowu, he would naturally align with them.

"Li Shaowu..." Wu Chuqi looked at Zhuang Xihang beside him:

"Principal Zhuang, the Town Martial Class doesn't allow private duels unless both parties agree, right?"

Zhuang Xihang smiled faintly:

"Correct."

Chen Yan was Wang Yang's student, and Zhuang Xihang naturally wouldn't let Chen Yan suffer. Moreover, Luo Puxin was also involved.

"Chen Yan broke Zhang Qingsi's leg first!"

Li Shaowu, who had been silent until now, let out a low roar, his fierce gaze intensifying.

"We'll talk about it after Chen Yan comes out," Zhuang Xihang warned. Li Shaowu remained silent.

"Li Shaowu, Zhang Qingsi snatched Chen Yan's spot in the Town Martial Class. He's a good-for-nothing to begin with."

Before Wu Chuqi could speak, Wu Chuhua chuckled:

"If you hang out with a good-for-nothing, be careful you don't become one yourself."

Li Shaowu's expression turned grim, and he stared coldly at Wu Chuhua.

"Calm down." Wu Chuqi smiled gently.

"My brother's words are usually a bit too direct, so he can be a bit offensive. Zhang Qingsi isn't a good-for-nothing, and neither are you."

Hiss...

Beside him, Li Shaowu took a deep breath. Wu Chuqi's words were even harsher, but he endured it.

Seeing that Li Shaowu still didn't leave, Wu Chuqi frowned and left directly.

The Town Martial Class had only just begun, and there were already various conflicts. He didn't want to get involved.

He wanted to become stronger, so he couldn't be disturbed by various disputes.

"Brother, what do you think will happen to Chen Yan?" Wu Chuhua asked.

"Nothing much." Wu Chuqi said calmly.

"His business has nothing to do with us. There's Chu Xuansheng above him. What's the point of you caring about people like Li Shaowu?"

If he could say something, he would say it, which was also a form of helping others. But if they asked him to participate, he wouldn't go. It would be a waste of time.

Time slowly passed.

By evening, the students waiting in the breeding area began to leave one by one.

"What's going on? Chen Yan still hasn't come down."

"It's been a whole day. Chen Yan hasn't even eaten."

"Forget it, I'm not waiting anymore. Maybe something unexpected happened."

As the crowd spoke, Li Shaowu's expression grew increasingly grim.

He didn't want to waste time. He just wanted Chen Yan to kneel before him, or for the other party to agree to a duel so he could break one of Chen Yan's legs and give Zhang Ge an explanation.

This is a question of give and take, small input, big output.

However, now, he had wasted half a day.

At this moment, Zhuang Xihang was also a little nervous. Chen Yan had gone in at eight in the morning, and it was already eleven at night.

Could something have really happened?

"How did the trainees perform in the breeding grounds today?"

A male voice sounded. Luo Puxin, the principal of First High School, and Chu Feiyuan walked over.

Zhuang Xihang replied:

"Liu Zong, ranked second, killed a level thirty-seven Ancient Beast today. Zhuo Qingren, ranked third, and Tan Qi, ranked fourth, were not present. Lü Chong, ranked fifth, killed a level thirty-one Ancient Beast."

As he spoke, Zhuang Xihang handed two reports to Luo Puxin and the principal of First High School simultaneously.

Luo Puxin glanced at Li Shaowu beside him, frowning slightly. He knew about Chen Yan breaking Zhang Qingsi's leg.

He didn't want to deal with it.

It was a good thing for Chen Yan to have more opponents now.

Chen Yan had strong talent in Body Tempering. Luo Puxin felt that by the end of their time in the Town Martial Class, Chen Yan would be able to break into the top three, or even first place.

First place...

Chu Xuansheng.

Luo Puxin narrowed his eyes. Chu Xuansheng had not come to the Town Martial Class. He had better resources in the Chu Family.

"These seedlings are all good. Perhaps we can sign contracts with the Gong Family or the Chu Family in advance."

The principal of First High School chuckled, very satisfied, and looked at Chu Feiyuan:

"Teacher Chu, who does your Chu Family plan to sign?"

As for the Town Martial Division, did the Town Martial Division scout prodigies?

The principal of First High School looked at Luo Puxin. The latter had never shown any particular interest.

Chu Feiyuan smiled without answering. The Chu Family already had plans, but the priority now was to sign Chen Yan.

"Huh, Chen Yan has been inside for fourteen hours." Chu Feiyuan said in surprise.

"Yes, there hasn't been any sound from him." Zhuang Xihang also had some anxiety in his eyes:

"The positioning on the walkie-talkie has been moving."

Zhuang Xihang said nervously:

"Should I go look for him?"

Chu Feiyuan and the principal of First High School nodded.

"No need."

Luo Puxin said calmly:

"Entering the breeding grounds is every trainee's choice. Whether to grow stronger slowly by staying within one's limits or to challenge life and death by exceeding them, it is all their own choice."

Luo Puxin looked at the many students:

"There is always a risk of life and death in the breeding grounds. Consider this yourselves."

All the trainees were stunned and nodded, becoming more cautious in their hearts.

Luo Puxin left. The principal of Second High School arrived, walking slowly with Chu Feiyuan.

"The family head said you were supposed to sign Chen Yan yesterday. Why haven't you signed him yet? Be careful the Town Martial Division poaches him."

Chu Feiyuan smiled faintly:

"No rush. Didn't you see Luo Puxin doesn't care if Chen Yan lives or dies?"

He had wanted to sign him yesterday, but who knew Chen Yan's awakening would be so difficult, not giving him a chance to speak.

Chu Li, the principal of Second High School, frowned:

"Think about it yourself, but the family head's instructions were to do it as soon as possible. Also, the trick you played on Chen Yan in the Blood Sensing Chamber was very low-level, extremely low-level. If Chen Yan awakens later, he will definitely discover your actions at that time."

Chu Feiyuan nodded:

"I really didn't handle this well, but that kid has already failed to awaken once. It's basically impossible for him to awaken now."

Breeding Grounds.

One punch killed a Green Cat.

This was not the first Green Cat, but the third.

Chen Yan removed the fake eye marked with "21" by the blue cat and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

He was exhausted, utterly exhausted.

[Saint Breaking Realm: Level 3 (60/75)]

[Saint Breaking Fruit:
Strength: (78/100)
Blood: (38/100)
Skill: (21/100)
Body: (5/100)]

Two Saint Breaking Fruits of the [Body] type and one of the [Skill] type had been consumed. This was the reward Chen Yan gained from continuously attacking Ancient Beasts.

On his chest, five solidified patterns had completely condensed.

Two Strength Stripes, one each for tendons, bones, and skin!

On his Martial Merit Badge, the text on the mission panel had changed again. Chen Yan had completed the mission and earned two hundred Martial Merit Points.

Chen Yan now had a total of four hundred and fifty Martial Merit Points.

His breathing technique had not advanced, but the external martial art [Crimson Gang Profound Strike Fist] had entered his heart.

Even more astonishing, his breathing technique [Crimson Gang Body Tempering Canon] had reached an incredible level.

Mastery!

Whether it was Body Tempering or Qi and Blood, martial artists used the same terms to describe proficiency in cultivation methods or martial skills.

Beginner, Proficient, Mastered, Perfected, Divine.

Perfected meant reaching one hundred percent proficiency, akin to being flawless.

As for Divine, that was a state beyond perfection.

Reaching the Mastery stage with his breathing technique granted Chen Yan incredible stamina, allowing him to fight on.

"I heard you kicked Zhang Qingsi's leg out?"

Luo Puxin's voice sounded. Chen Yan looked up to see Luo Puxin had arrived beside him.

"Eat up, food is crucial."

Luo Puxin handed Chen Yan the bag full of food he was holding.

"Brother Luo, I don't want to endure anymore," Chen Yan said softly as he took the food.

Luo Puxin opened his mouth, wanting to say something. He then saw the cloth bag Chen Yan was using to hold the fake eye.

Holy crap.

He looked at the corpse of the blue cat beside them, his gaze trembling.

"Your Crimson Heart Fist has reached Proficient?" Luo Puxin asked, shocked.

"No," Chen Yan shook his head.

"Oh," Luo Puxin nodded. If it had reached Proficient, that would be unbelievable. But soon, he was even more surprised:

"Then how did you kill this blue cat? If you can kill a creature like this, you'd rank sixth in the Town Martial Class."

"My Crimson Gang Body Tempering Canon has reached Mastery," Chen Yan smiled.

Luo Puxin fell silent.

Chen Yan looked at him.

"Brother Luo, am I progressing well? I don't see others progressing as fast as me."

Luo Puxin remained silent.

This is bad. His talent is so high.

Even worse, he seems to know it himself.

"Brother Luo, I think the Town Martial Division is strong. At least they won't let aristocratic families bully people."

Luo Puxin was silent for a long while before saying, "I know what you want to say. If you want to do it, then do it. You..."

"Can I kill people?" Chen Yan looked at Luo Puxin.

Silence.

Luo Puxin looked at Chen Yan as if meeting him for the first time. He knew Chen Yan could act, he knew Chen Yan worked hard.

But he didn't know Chen Yan harbored such killing intent.

Was it the excessive killing today that had made him more aggressive?

Or was it that, after realizing his own worth, he was no longer willing to endure such grievances and wanted to tell this damn world to 'go to hell'?

Luo Puxin's lips trembled.

What a good child, to be forced into this?

Go kill!

"If it's a fight, kill them. I'll mediate for you. Don't worry about retaliation. With me here, no one will retaliate against you or your family."

Luo Puxin stood up:

"Even if you undergo a Limit Breaking Awakening, you don't need to worry about Chen Min's Luo City Chen family. If they make a move against you, I'll take you... and run."

Chen Yan smiled.

"Wanting to kill is a good thing." Luo Puxin smiled even more brilliantly:

"If you don't want to, I'll force you to. And if you can handle it, I won't interfere. If you can't handle it, I'll help you kill."

Luo Puxin left.

He didn't know why Chen Yan had become this way, but he knew Chen Yan's true nature.

The next day, Chen Yan did not come down the mountain.

On the third day, Chen Yan still had not come down the mountain.

Li Shaowu, who had been blocking the entrance to the breeding area, stopped blocking on the third day.

Gao Yuan and the other trainees had no idea where Chen Yan was.

Was he dead?

Many people had this guess.

Or had Chen Yan fled to avoid Li Shaowu?

It wasn't until the fourth day.

Early morning.

The morning light was brilliant, like auspicious auspicious colors, like a golden dragon leaping from the sea, its rich warm light illuminating the entire First Martial High.

"Chen Yan, have you been on the mountain these past few days?"

Gao Yuan arrived at the entrance of Chen Yan's courtyard again. This time, to his surprise, he found Chen Yan in the garden, practicing his boxing.

Chen Yan waved at Gao Yuan, his eyes gentle, his attitude humble:

"I was just waiting for you. I saved some breakfast, please join me."

Gao Yuan was stunned. A meal from Chen Yan was worth a lot of money.

"Don't be so polite, come on." Chen Yan waved his hand. He had heard that Gao Yuan had been very concerned about him these past few days, so he wanted to treat him well.

Gao Yuan nodded, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

"Chen Yan, you need to be careful of Li Shaowu."

Gao Yuan looked at Chen Yan. Chen Yan was wearing a new, very quiet outfit. He was already handsome, and now he looked very refined and courteous.

"Okay," Chen Yan said with a smile.

Gao Yuan was about to say more, but as he approached Chen Yan, he smelled an indescribable scent of Blood.

Perhaps it wasn't a smell, but a temperament.

He looked at Chen Yan again. Gentle, a perfect gentleman, very handsome.

But upon closer inspection, there was violence, killing intent, and ferocity.

Holy crap.

A layer of sweat instantly broke out on Gao Yuan's forehead.

Chen Yan had just killed someone, right?

Or had Chen Yan killed a bunch of Ancient Beasts in the breeding area?

After the meal.

Chen Yan and Gao Yuan walked out. He hadn't exchanged the fake eyes he collected for points yet.

But there was no hurry.

He had heard about Li Shaowu.

"Chen Yan!"

"Kneel down for me!"

Li Shaowu, who had been walking from afar and heard that Chen Yan had appeared, now rushed over with Zhang Qingsi, who was leaning on a crutch, his face fierce.

Around them, passing trainees also noticed Chen Yan and Li Shaowu.

Chen Yan looked at Li Shaowu:

"Kill me, and I'll kneel for you."

Chen Yan smiled gently, "Come and kill me."

Li Shaowu was stunned. Chen Yan was so direct.

Too direct.

It was as if the other party had appeared here specifically waiting for him.

The other party smiled, as if saying:

Come and kill me, I'm easy to kill.

For some reason, Li Shaowu felt a little flustered. He looked at Zhang Qingsi beside him, then spoke to Chen Yan:

"The Town Martial Class doesn't allow killing."

"Then cripple me. I'm easy to cripple," Chen Yan continued to smile gently.

There was an uproar.

Li Shaowu froze again. He stared at Chen Yan for a long time, then suddenly laughed:

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Yan was going to fight Li Shaowu.

This news quickly spread throughout the Town Martial Class.

It was on the training grounds.

Li Shaowu and Chen Yan stood facing each other, surrounded by students.

This was a battle for the top twenty, and they absolutely had to watch it; it was very precious.

"Chen Yan, I suggest you reconsider."

Li Qingyuan frowned. He hadn't expected Chen Yan to be so direct either. Had his strength increased greatly recently?

But Li Shaowu was not simple.

Chen Yan gave Li Qingyuan a gentle smile and said, "Thank you."

Not many people were good to him, and he would cherish them.

"Brother Li, Chen Yan isn't giving you face. Why bother with him?"

A student beside him spoke, sounding displeased.

Li Qingyuan shook his head.

"It's not about not giving face. If my presence interferes with him, then I'm not helping him. He's being polite."

Li Qingyuan frowned, still a little confused:

"But the person he's going to fight is not simple."

Soon, a Teacher arrived.

"Chen Yan, you need to think carefully."

Chu Feiyuan looked at Chen Yan. He was still holding the contract for Chen Yan to sign. If Chen Yan were crippled, would this contract still be signed?

"I've thought about it," Chen Yan nodded.

Chu Feiyuan frowned slightly. He had already reminded him, then he introduced the rules.

After introducing the rules, Chu Feiyuan looked again at Luo Puxin, the principal of the first high school, and the others.

No one stopped him.

It seemed they didn't care about Chen Yan at all.

Opposite Chen Yan, Li Shaowu's gaze grew more serious.

He could tell Chen Yan was not normal.

Although the other party seemed gentle, he felt like a powder keg that could explode at any moment, accumulating endless violence.

In the crowd, Zhang Qingsi stared intently at Chen Yan, his anger surging.

"Begin!" Chu Feiyuan announced.

Li Shaowu lowered his stance slightly, circulating his Qi and Blood cultivation technique.

"Chen Yan, I won't hold back."

He said quietly. Since they were going to fight, he would use his full strength.

He didn't want to underestimate the other party.

As for the opponent...

A roaring sound suddenly echoed, and the turf was ripped up by Chen Yan's terrifying, vigorous power.

Faster than extreme!

Chen Yan was like a ferocious beast, charging at Li Shaowu with all his might.

Li Shaowu's eyes widened in shock. He took a deep breath, and a red glow of Qi and Blood appeared around his fist as he punched towards Chen Yan.

The fists collided!

Crack crack crack!

Li Shaowu's fist instantly emitted sounds of bone breaking!

"Chen Yan!"

Chu Feiyuan shouted, not expecting Chen Yan to suddenly unleash such powerful force.

"Ah!!!"

A scream echoed out, and Li Shaowu wailed, clutching his fist.

Chen Yan's eyes were fierce, a smile playing on his lips as he raised his fist again, smashing towards Li Shaowu's shoulder with a destructive momentum.

Another bone-cracking sound.

Chen Yan smashed again, punching Li Shaowu's arm.

Kicks to the legs.

Crack crack crack!

"Ahhhhhh!!!!"

Screams continued to echo, sweeping through everyone's minds like a flood.

Terrifying, terrifying!

What had they just witnessed!

"I don't..." Li Shaowu's eyes were instantly filled with terror. He yelled, completely losing the will to fight.

Chen Yan covered the other's mouth with his left hand, forcefully pinning Li Shaowu beneath him, and smashed down with his fist again.

One punch to the forehead, and Li Shaowu's eyes immediately began to bleed.

Bang bang bang!

Another smash!

"Didn't you want me to kneel?"

Chen Yan's eyes were filled with furious rage as his fists hammered down.

"That's it?!"

Bang bang bang!

He punched repeatedly, Li Shaowu's forehead caving in, blood flowing from his seven orifices.

He wore a smile, not one of madness, yet he was doing something more insane than anyone else.

Both his fists were covered in blood.

Beside them, some girls were so scared their heads spun, while the other students stared blankly, too terrified to speak, afraid Chen Yan might turn on them.

With a thud!

Zhang Qingsi collapsed to the ground, his mouth agape.

That was Li Shaowu.

How could he possibly win?!
