Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"Pfft... Invincible spirit?" The scene was silent for a moment, then a girl couldn't help but laugh out loud;

His companion quickly reminded him, "Keep your voice down, they can easily take you down..."

"It seems Chu Yuan's injuries have indeed healed..." a disciple from a martial arts family murmured to himself, vaguely feeling that the most stern father figure among the trial participants in Secret Realm No. 7 had reappeared...

"No, I suspect Chu Yuan's injuries haven't healed at all!" someone said decisively. "Have you forgotten what happened to those who provoked Chu Yuan in the Seventh Secret Realm?"

Qi Ying, Li Ji, Ma Chengye... it seems they were all killed on the spot by Chu Yuan;

"That's right... judging from Chu Yuan's style, he should have just killed him! How could he have only injured him?"

"But this isn't a secret realm, so Chu Yuan wouldn't dare to kill people indiscriminately, would he?"

With something entertaining to watch, the people in line no longer felt bored and started gossiping.

However, no one questioned Chu Yuan's actions; in fact, they felt that Chu Yuan had become much more soft-hearted.

Chu Yuan was somewhat speechless. After reflecting on it for a while, he felt... he didn't seem to be that cruel, did he?

They did kill a few trial participants in the secret realm, but weren't they just asking for it?

On the contrary, he protected the vast majority of the trial participants;

Even if he's not a saint, he should at least be a good person, right?

It seems that people have many misunderstandings about themselves...

"You little beast, how dare you act so arrogantly here!?" A furious shout rang out from the back of the line, accompanied by a powerful aura!

Chu Yuan's divine sense swept over the area and saw an old man with white hair and beard catch the boy, help him stand up, and then rise into the air and strike him with a palm.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

He spoke of a lesson, but the power of his palm strike remained undiminished, clearly aimed at severely injuring Chu Yuan...

......

"They're incredibly audacious, daring to even touch Wei Zhenshou's students? Are the Pang family's idiots too lazy to even gather intelligence?"

"We can't blame them. Only our Zhenwu Bureau knows a little about Wei Zhenshou taking on apprentices..."

Inside a building, the two looked out the window at the fun they were having.

Instead of showing any worry, his face was filled with schadenfreude.

They happened to know Chu Yuan's battle record, and naturally understood that this so-called "protector" of the Divine Power Realm couldn't gain any advantage in front of Chu Yuan at all;

"The Pang family's protectors are arrogant and domineering, and they attacked the seed students inside the training base."

According to the regulations, how should this be handled?

"There really is no precedent... but I think 500,000 military merits is a very reasonable punishment."

"Five hundred thousand military merits? You might as well kill that Pang guy..."

"If you have any opinions, go talk to the bureau chief."

"Let's get to work, shall we? You go or I will?"

"I'll go..."

At this moment, Chu Yuan and the old man had already decided the victor;

All the onlookers saw was a black light slashing through the void, and then the arrogant old man froze in place!

A horrifying bloody hole appeared in his abdomen, with blood mixed with some internal organs spilling out...

He felt his life slipping away, his face filled with disbelief;

How could a mere student defeat him in a single move?

For a moment, he suspected that Chu Yuan had used some kind of military token, but he had clearly seen just now that nothing of that kind had been activated...

The students who were about to escape, who were within the range of the old man's attack, stopped in their tracks.

"...Who said his injury hasn't healed?"

"Holy crap, I feel like Chu Yuan has gotten even stronger!?"

"you do not know?"

"Know what?"

"A super strong person broke through in Chenyang City, and many martial artists benefited from it, greatly increasing their strength... Chu Yuan must have also benefited from it."

Look at that loser, he's also from Chenyang City;

When I saw him in the secret realm before, he was still at the Unfathomable Realm, but now he's also at the Inner Breath Realm...

"...How come he always gets all the good things?!"

"That's just fate..."

Yang Yi, the "noob" who was called out: "......"

But aside from that adjective, what they said was indeed the truth.

"You little beast... how dare you..."

Under the Wind Riding Sword Technique, the dark shadow swirled behind the old man;

Suddenly, a blur flashed by and appeared behind the old man in an instant.

He smiled at Chu Yuan, then pointed a finger at Mo Ying;

A strange deflection force field appeared, causing the black shadow's flight path to deviate, and it was then collected by Chu Yuan.

The old man noticed this too, turned around and saw the man's face, and quickly said respectfully, "Thank you for saving me, Commander Zheng!"

The short-haired youth grinned: "You're welcome."

Seeing his attitude, the old man felt relieved and seemed to have gained more confidence. He quickly swallowed a pill and then solemnly said, "Commander Zheng, this student is ruthless and vicious!"

In my opinion, I'm afraid I'm not suited to participate in such a plan that concerns the Qin Dynasty..."

He failed to see the idiot looks on the faces of the crowd below who were watching the spectacle.

This old good-for-nothing, you think you've got what you deserve?

Having lived to such an old age, only to be defeated in an instant by a student... Who do you think the Zhenwu Bureau will side with?

Many facts that are clear to young children are not clear to the elderly.

Or rather, it wasn't that he couldn't understand, but rather that he felt the Zhenwu Bureau would give face to the Pang family behind him...

But the short-haired youth ignored him, cleared his throat, and casually said, "The protectors of the Pang family attacked the trainees in the training base, which has a bad influence."

After investigation, it was decided to punish the Pang family with 500,000 military merits as a deterrent.

"Hey kid over there, you can tell your grandpa now."

The old man looked utterly astonished, then exclaimed in alarm, "Commander Zheng!? This..."

But before he could finish speaking, the young man casually pressed his palm forward;

Then a muffled thud echoed from the void, and a cloud of blood mist exploded on the spot...

Chu Yuan was secretly alarmed. His divine sense detected that the air where the old man had been standing seemed to have been compressed, becoming as solid as iron!

But on the surface, everything seemed calm and peaceful... This Commander Zheng's abilities are truly outrageous!

He should be at least at the seventh realm...

However, upon further reflection, it makes sense. The Zhenwu Bureau's ranks, from top to bottom, are Director, Deputy Director, Garrison Commander, Commander, and Captain.

The Commander-in-Chief is the highest-ranking official in charge of the Zhenwu Bureau of an entire prefecture.

If one doesn't possess the strength of the seventh realm, how can one suppress those who resist?

"Commander Zheng! This is not fair!"

He's not a member of the Pang family. How can you attribute his own actions to the Pang family?!

A shout rang out; it was from the burly boy.

His face was deathly pale, as if he wanted to reason with the short-haired youth: "Besides, it wasn't me who told him to attack the students; it was entirely his own decision..."

But the young man seemed too lazy to even glance at him; with a slight movement of his feet, his figure disappeared again.

Only a lingering echo remained:

"Continue reporting for duty."
