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

"Teacher, what is Yan Xuan's background?" Chu Yuan asked.

No matter how much he worries now, it's useless. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up... Isn't that Zidane holding it up right now?

"Yan Xuan..." Huang Bo's face showed a complex mix of emotions, including heartache, anger, and regret.

"You should know something. Actually, he was your senior... but that was ten years ago."

"Ten years ago? That means Yan Xuan is only twenty-eight or twenty-nine now?"

"Why do you look like you're in your forties or fifties?"

"...Something happened back then, and his martial arts foundation was destroyed, and his body was weakened, so he looks older." Huang Bo explained, and then continued, "When I first came to teach at No. 1 Middle School, I heard about Yan Xuan's name."

He is a martial arts genius!

It only took him a week from receiving the Qi Refining Technique to entering the Qi and Blood Realm.

Later, on the eve of the college entrance examination, he even reached the middle stage of the Unobstructed Realm! He shone brightly in the college entrance examination!

He achieved first place in Chenyang City and third place in Yunan Prefecture, and was admitted to Shendu Martial Arts School, one of the four major martial arts schools...

Many people's eyes unconsciously turned to Chu Yuan. Martial arts genius... Isn't Chu Yuan also a martial arts genius?

Perhaps he, like Yan Xuan back then, has now entered the Qi and Blood Realm?

Someone asked directly, "Chu Yuan, have you already reached the Qi and Blood Realm?"

Chu Yuan nodded: "Mm."

Yang Yi naturally knew that Chu Yuan wasn't at the Qi and Blood Realm, so he quickly changed the subject: "And then what happened? How did he get crippled?"

Huang Bo shook his head: "Then I don't know very well... I only heard that some accidents happened during the training at the front line of the outer space and the execution of school missions."

And then...

At that time, our school principal was not Principal Qi, but Principal Chen.

After hearing the news, Principal Chen personally went to Shendu to pick him up and settled him in the school.

Unexpectedly…

"Teacher, I heard it's because he received a powerful inheritance that he was targeted and harmed?"

Huang Bo mumbled, "Maybe. After all, while there are many opportunities in the outer battlefield, anything can happen."

"You should also be careful when you go to the outer battlefield in the future..."

That's what they say, but Huang Bo actually knows in his heart that most people go to the outer battlefield;

He went there as an ordinary soldier and didn't have much autonomy... so he wouldn't encounter anything similar to what happened to Yan Xuan back then.

A significant number of students might not even be able to go.

They could only stay in the Great Qin and join low-level combat units such as the Public Security Bureau or the City Guard.

Also known as elderly care facilities.

There was no real danger, but also no real opportunity.

Often, a person's skill level when they join a company remains the same for several years or even more than a decade later.

For example, himself...

In the pause between words, a furious roar full of energy rang out again. It was Zidane roaring, with a hint of panic in his tone.

"Yan Xuan! Stop!! Are you really looking to die!?"

The loud shout shattered the classroom windows, and many people staggered and fell to the ground as if they were drunk.

However, this posed no threat to Yan Xuan, who was also at the Divine Power Realm.

The numbness on his face slowly faded, transforming into excitement and fervor;

"Hahahaha~ Principal Qi, I still prefer your composed and strategic demeanor from just now..."

Zidane paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Leave now, and I'll pretend I never saw you today!"

"Naive..." Yan Xuan looked at Qi Da with a mocking smile, and without hesitation tore off one of his own arms and threw it to the ground!

The arm, like a javelin, was deeply embedded in the ground, with blood-red lines spreading out from it;

For martial artists at the Martial Realm, severed limbs are not considered serious injuries, as there are many ways to regrow severed limbs.

But at this moment, Yan Xuan was pale and unsteady on his feet, as if he had suffered some irreversible injury!

Zidane knew the reason: Yan Xuan had poured most of his energy essence into that arm!

Blood-red patterns appeared out of nowhere and climbed onto Yan Xuan's legs...

"I've heard about what happened back then, and I know... you harbor resentment towards many people!" Zidane paused, his tone sincere. "But ordinary people are innocent..."

Yan Xuan's face showed even more sarcasm: "Innocent? The weak have no voice, nor the right to survive!"

The weak... all they need to do is sacrifice themselves!

This is the lesson they taught me back then...

"They made mistakes, and they paid the price! I think they regret it more than you do..."

"Is offering a few insignificant items the price to pay? Shouldn't I hold a grudge?" Yan Xuan sneered again: "Then I'll apologize after I sacrifice these ants."

I hope you will forgive me on their behalf when the time comes...

At this moment, the blood-red markings had spread all over Yan Xuan's body;

The ground inside the school was glowing red everywhere! On the damaged ground, you could see the twisting blood lines underground, like the veins of the earth.

Zidane was anxious, not because he didn't want to make a move, but because he couldn't!

Because he recognizes this thing...

Blood Drain Formation!

It's extremely complicated to set up, but the benefits are also great!

Yan Xuan, as the key figure in the formation, activated the formation with one of his own arms. Before the formation was broken, Qi Da was helpless against him.

None of his attacks will harm Yan Xuan; instead, the others in the formation will bear the brunt!

It won't be him, but it will be a student or teacher from No. 1 High School...

"Teacher, I feel dizzy..."

"Me too, I feel completely weak... Is this the aftereffect of a battle between powerful individuals?"

"Hey? When did you get that tattoo?"

"What tattoo?"

Huang Bo was startled and was about to speak when a feeling of weakness welled up in his heart;

He raised his hand, and streaks of blood appeared on the back of his hand at some unknown time.

The internal energy within his body was being greedily devoured and absorbed by these blood-red patterns...

Chu Yuan also frowned as he looked at the blood patterns on the back of his hand, and he also felt his blood and flesh essence being absorbed.

It was even trying to draw spiritual energy from its own body.

But the latter seemed to be of much higher quality, like a weight that couldn't be attracted at all...

Chu Yuan circulated his cultivation technique, and his spiritual energy vibrated slightly. The blood patterns immediately became blurry, as if they were about to dissipate.

But in an instant, another surge of new energy flowed in, causing the blood patterns on the back of his hand to solidify once more!

Chu Yuan sensed the energy fluctuations and turned to look at the classroom wall;

He sensed that a large portion of the energy source for these blood-red patterns came from... an energy-gathering array?
