[Unrivaled Under Heaven, Enemies Descend from the Heavens]

"Senior, what are you laughing about?"

Xu Si hurried back and saw Lin Xian standing outside alone, laughing wildly without stopping. A trace of confusion immediately appeared on his face. It was one thing for young Espers to be absurd, but why were the older generation so chuuni too?

Could this Esper world get any worse?

"I laugh at the Celestial Master for lacking strategy, and Feng Yao for lacking wisdom."

Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back and raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, carrying a faint air of pretentiousness as he said leisurely, "The years are like blades that cut down heaven-blessed prodigies; on the road to immortality, even beauties are lamented. Before the immortal gate, I was ultimately the one who took that step."

Xu Si's mouth twitched, but when he looked at the otherworldly youth whose flesh gleamed like mutton-fat jade, reverence rose in his heart. The snark that had reached his lips turned into flattery instead. "Senior, you have returned to youth and advanced another step beyond the hundred-foot pole. You are truly the number one in the Esper world, with boundless magic power and vast divine abilities..."

"Good, good, good." Lin Xian laughed heartily, seemingly greatly pleased by the flattery. In high spirits, he waved his hand and said, "Since you are so perceptive, this old man will give you some guidance today. Ask whatever difficult questions you do not understand."

"Difficult questions..." Xu Si suddenly narrowed his eyes, his mind racing wildly. This was a rare opportunity to probe for something hidden.

The question could not be too simple, or it would be wasted. Nor could it be too important—what if this old monster refused to answer? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?

In that flash of thought, Xu Si's heart stirred. He took a deep breath and asked, "Senior, who is this Feng Yao you mentioned?"

Anyone who could be mentioned alongside the Celestial Master was certainly no ordinary figure. Yet Xu Si, as a regional supervisor for the company, had never heard of him. Instinctively, Xu Si felt that a great secret was hidden within this, perhaps one that could reveal Lin Xian's origins.

"He's hooked..." A smile curled at Lin Xian's lips. He waved a hand toward Feng Baobao inside and said lightly, "Isn't Feng Yao her father?"

"Father." Xu Si's voice trembled, and his pupils dilated to the limit. He could hardly believe it as he pressed, "Whose father?"

At that moment, Xu Si felt no excitement or joy at all. Instead, he felt an instinctive fear, afraid to uncover that mysterious truth.

The answer they had pursued for so many years had appeared so easily, like a pie falling from the sky.

This was too easy. What if it was fake?!

"Who else could it be? That girl from the Feng family." Lin Xian smiled faintly. "Your Baobao, Feng Baobao!"

Like shattering glass, Lin Xian's casual words completely broke through Xu Si's psychological defenses.

Like a bolt of thunder striking down, Xu Si shuddered all over. Then he rushed indoors without a second thought and shouted, "Baobao, hurry..."

Hurry? Hurry what?!

Everyone looked at him strangely, including Zhang Chulan, who had just woken up. Zhang Chulan rubbed his temples, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Brother Si, what happened?"

"N-Nothing." Xu Si took a deep breath. Knowing there were too many people present to explain in detail, he suppressed all the excitement in his heart and merely said in a low voice, "Dad wants to see Baobao."

"I see." Xu San smiled and nodded, though a trace of doubt appeared in his bright eyes.

Xu Si was acting far too strangely. What exactly had happened?

Wanting to end this as quickly as possible, Xu Si shifted his gaze and impatiently stepped forward to throw an arm around Zhang Chulan's shoulders. Laughing loudly, he said, "Kid, what did you learn from the Qi-State Origin-Flow? Hurry up and tell everyone."

Making people shift their attention was simple. All he needed was to throw out an important bombshell.

The Eight Extraordinary Skills, Qi-State Origin-Flow, could obviously draw everyone's attention far more effectively than a disheveled woman.

"Xu Si, quit messing around." Zhang Chulan broke free from Xu Si's bear hug, coughed twice, then closed his eyes and carefully savored that power. In a low voice, he said, "It seems there is a stream of qi condensed within my dantian. I don't need to deliberately circulate it; an endless flow of power simply gathers on its own."

"So this is the Eight Extraordinary Skills' Qi-State Origin-Flow." Feng Xingtong's eyes widened with curiosity. "It doesn't seem particularly special. Isn't it just an ordinary grand circulation of cultivation? Chulan, stop holding back. I'm going to be your brother-in-law someday."

Feng Shayan glared and instantly dragged Feng Xingtong back, delivering a heavy blow.

"There's not even an eight-character in sight yet." Zhang Chulan muttered, only to be punched by Xu Si as well. Xu Si bared his teeth in a vicious grin. "Kid, stop speaking in riddles. Hurry up and explain!"

"It's different." Zhang Chulan shook his head and said with utmost seriousness, "I can feel that this circulation never stops, not even for a moment."

"Even while you're asleep?" Feng Shayan's pupils contracted as she suddenly asked.

Zhang Chulan nodded silently. He had not deliberately cultivated any method. As long as the Qi Infant was there, his physical body was like a fully automatic motor, starting on its own and cultivating on its own.

"That really is absurd."

Xu San sucked in a cold breath. "No wonder it is called one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills. A person sleeps eight hours a day, so someone who lives to a hundred only truly has sixty or seventy years of life."

"More than that..." Feng Shayan clenched her fists. Thinking of how she cultivated so painstakingly yet still could not compare to this bastard, she gritted her teeth. "Besides sleeping, Espers also need to eat, socialize, travel, and deal with all the countless trivial matters in life. The time truly spent cultivating may only be eight or nine hours a day."

"In other words, by the time others have accumulated ten years of cultivation and barely completed their training, this kid will already have thirty years of cultivation—enough to rival the sect masters and famed veterans of the Esper world!"

Feng Xingtong sucked in a breath and looked at Zhang Chulan as though he were a monster.

If this kid lived to a hundred, wouldn't he have three hundred years of cultivation? Who in the Esper world could possibly be his match then?!

"Hahaha, now you know how awesome I am, right?"

Only then did Zhang Chulan realize just how incredible he was. He immediately planted his hands on his hips and laughed smugly. "Unrivaled under heaven, I alone reign supreme!"

Finally, finally, his own golden finger had arrived.

The humiliation he had suffered in the past would finally be washed away. Zhang Chulan was so excited that he wanted to roar.

"Idiot..."

At that moment, everyone's vision darkened as they all thought of the same word. Some did not say it aloud, while others cursed it directly.

"Unrivaled under heaven? Have you not heard that enemies descend from the heavens?"

"Kid, you still do not understand the true use of Qi-State Origin-Flow."

"Comprehend it properly."

Lin Xian used Qi-State Origin-Flow to knock Zhang Chulan unconscious, then used the Return-to-Origin Method to tap his Niwan Palace, allowing him to comprehend the Dao in his dreams.

Without Zhang Chulan acting cheap, the scene instantly fell silent.

Lin Xian clapped his hands, handed Zhang Chulan over, and said to the Feng siblings, "Chairman Feng is waiting for you outside. Take Zhang Chulan with you as well, and go cultivate your relationship."

"Got it!" Before Feng Shayan could say anything, Feng Xingtong grabbed the unconscious Zhang Chulan and happily ran outside, with Feng Shayan chasing after him to kill him.

Sorry for the late update. There will be another chapter at eight tonight.
