An Advanced Martial Artist. Was Wu Chen Still Unconvinced?

Inside the combat room, Wu Chen thought for a while longer.

He was considering two paths.

One was that his family was stronger than Ye Nan's.

If he used his family to pressure the Ye Family, Ye Nan's life certainly wouldn't be easy.

There was another path.

That was to get on good terms with Ye Nan.

Regardless of whether Ye Nan had any other backing, his future achievements were certain to be of national significance, given his combat power.

If he got on good terms with Ye Nan, it would certainly be excellent for the Wu Family's future development.

As for Ye Nan defeating him so easily, no one else had seen it.

Besides, Ye Nan had also told him not to tell anyone what happened today.

First of all, he certainly had to admit that Ye Nan was a low-profile person.

Otherwise, with Ye Nan's strength, his name would have resounded throughout Jiangcheng long ago.

In the end, Wu Chen chose the latter.

Using his family to apply pressure and have Ye Nan punished was not a wise move.

Getting on good terms with Ye Nan was the right path after all.

At that thought, Wu Chen felt as though he had parted the clouds and mist to see the blue sky.

The gloom and frustration of being defeated by Ye Nan vanished in an instant.

He left the combat room as well.

Not long after Ye Nan came out of the combat room.

He saw the same students from before.

The students were astonished to see Ye Nan emerge without a scratch.

They had already imagined the scene of Ye Nan coming out black and blue many times.

But now...

After Ye Nan walked away, the students discussed it in amazement:

"Strange. How come Ye Nan's completely fine?"

"Could it be that Brother Wu Chen didn't lay a hand on him?"

"Or was Brother Wu Chen no match for him?"

"What are you talking about? How could Brother Wu Chen be no match for Ye Nan? There must be more to this."

When Wu Chen came out, the students immediately went up to him.

"Brother Wu Chen, how come Ye Nan's completely fine?"

"You..."

After the students said this to Wu Chen.

Only then did they notice that Wu Chen looked somewhat bedraggled.

Could it be...

The students thought of a possibility they scarcely dared to imagine.

"Ye Nan and I were just chatting in the combat room. Nothing else happened."

Wu Chen spoke to the students in front of him.

Hearing Wu Chen say that, the students didn't question him further.

After all, in their eyes, the gap in strength between Wu Chen and Ye Nan was simply too great.

He counted the time.

There was less than a month left until the college entrance exam.

Ye Nan went to the mountain behind the school again.

After reaching the spot where he had previously practiced the Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Art, he began practicing it again.

Time flew, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

"I'd better rest for a bit."

Seeing that day had broken, Ye Nan headed down the mountain.

Total combat power: 17,267

Looking at his current combat power, Ye Nan smiled calmly.

Fifteen thousand combat power was the baseline for an advanced martial artist.

He was already an advanced martial artist, and was working toward becoming a junior martial master.

The baseline combat power for a junior martial master was 30,000.

He still had some way to go.

Ye Nan had just reached the dormitory when he heard several classmates talking:

"Do you think Ye Nan's dead?"

"Huh? Surely not."

"I think it's very possible. You know, Ye Nan's been missing for several days now."

"Could Wu Chen have killed him? Would Wu Chen dare to disregard the law?"

Listening to his classmates' conversation, Ye Nan couldn't help feeling like laughing.

"Actually, I'm not dead yet."

He abruptly walked into the dormitory.

The students in the dormitory stared blankly at Ye Nan as he walked in.

After looking him up and down and finding him completely unharmed, they were relieved.

"Ye Nan, I fucking thought Wu Chen had slaughtered you."

After exchanging a few words with his classmates, Ye Nan fell into a deep sleep.

He really was tired after practicing the Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Art for five days straight on the mountain behind the school.

When Ye Nan woke up, he found that there was no one else in the dormitory.

He decided to get something to eat.

When he reached the school square, however, a student suddenly stepped in front of him.

Seeing this, the students in the square immediately turned their attention over.

"Is Wu Chen planning to teach Ye Nan a lesson?"

"Probably. After all, Wu Chen has always wanted to pursue Wang Lingxi, even though she hasn't agreed."

"Ye Nan's finished. He can't compare to Wang Lingxi in either strength or background."

"What can you do? Ye Nan had the audacity to pin Wang Lingxi against a wall."

The students in the square began discussing it.

In their view, Ye Nan pinning Wang Lingxi against a wall while drunk had been completely unwise.

Ye Nan's older paternal cousin, Ye Tangxing, was also in the square.

When he saw Wu Chen blocking Ye Nan's path, he couldn't help stamping his foot.

It seemed Ye Nan's earlier apology to Wu Chen hadn't earned him Wu Chen's forgiveness.

If Ye Nan were insulted by Wu Chen in front of everyone.

How could he and the Ye Family save face?

But the gap between him and Wu Chen was also great. If he openly stood in front of Ye Nan.

He would only become the target of everyone's arrows.

All Ye Tangxing could do now was pray that he and the Ye Family wouldn't lose too much face.

Ye Tangxing wasn't the only one there. Wang Lingxi was also in the square, having just come out of the cafeteria.

When she saw Wu Chen blocking Ye Nan's path, Wang Lingxi hesitated.

She didn't know whether she should help Ye Nan.

It was certain that Ye Nan had accidentally pinned her against a wall while drunk.

"Can I help you?"

Ye Nan looked at Wu Chen in front of him.

As far as he was concerned, Wu Chen should have been thoroughly convinced by now.

Could he still dare to make trouble for him?

His temper wasn't very good either. If Wu Chen insisted on fighting him to the bitter end, then he couldn't blame Ye Nan for what happened.

Hearing Ye Nan's question, Wu Chen smiled and said:

"Ye Nan, an alchemist is coming to our school to give a lecture tomorrow. I signed up. If you'd like, we can go listen to the alchemist together."

Hearing Wu Chen's words, Ye Nan understood.

He had thought Wu Chen still wasn't convinced. Since that wasn't the case, everything was fine.

An alchemist's lecture...

He pondered for a few seconds.

Across the whole of Blue Star, alchemists were a special profession.

An alchemist's martial arts realm might not be very high, but they definitely had many friends.

Ye Nan knew that now he had a system, he would certainly have friends like alchemists in the future.

But if he were an alchemist himself, that would be better in some respects.

For example, if he found a precious material in some secret realm or underground cavern.

Then he wouldn't need to find an alchemist. Being an alchemist himself could save him a lot of trouble.

"Come get me tomorrow."

Ye Nan spoke to Wu Chen.

He knew full well that Wu Chen had said this to curry favor with him.

People had to reciprocate. As long as Wu Chen truly had value, Ye Nan didn't mind doing things to benefit him in the future.

"All right."

When Wu Chen saw that Ye Nan had agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
