Meanwhile.
The top floor of the City Martial Division.
Gong Hengwen's office.
"I understand."
Gong Hengwen hung up the landline and fell silent for a while.
"Fist Momentum, Heart-Entering level Eight Forms of Extreme Refinement, a Break Limit prodigy..."
He murmured, anger rising in his eyes.
"The Chu Family's got some nerve!"
The Chu Family was actually suppressing such a prodigy!
Chen Yan...
Gong Hengwen silently repeated the name in his heart, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He was going to bring Chen Yan into his fold.
Just then.
Knock, knock, knock...
Someone rapped on the office door.
"Come in," Gong Hengwen said.
A handsome young man walked into the office. He wore black robes, had long hair, and an immortal air between his brows.
Gong Hengwen looked surprised.
"Xuanxian, what brings you here?"
Chu Xuanxian.
A Heavenly Pride of the Chu Family, ranked seventh among Yunmeng City's prodigies, and Gong Hengwen's disciple.
Chu Xuansheng was nowhere near his level.
"Master." Chu Xuanxian spoke calmly. Suddenly, flames of light flared around him, and an intensely sharp aura erupted for an instant before vanishing just as quickly.
Gong Hengwen froze, then broke into a delighted smile. "Second-grade Sword Intent, Xuanxian, you..."
"I only broke through recently." Chu Xuanxian smiled faintly.
"This time, I can make a run for the top five."
A smile appeared in Gong Hengwen's eyes. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Xuanxian, what gift would you like? Your master can—"
"Master," Chu Xuanxian said evenly, "are you planning to sign that Chen Yan?"
Gong Hengwen's expression settled, though he cursed inwardly. How had word about such a small matter spread so quickly?
"Yes. Chen Yan has Fist Momentum."
Chu Xuanxian nodded.
"My uncle, Chu Feiyuan, has been adding Impure Blood Energy to the Blood Sensing Chamber
