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

"Xiang Ning got into a fight!"

The stone platform was already boring, but the moment the three of them started making a move, it attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Qi Ying looked over with a cold smile. "Go ahead and fight. It would be better if you killed them all!"

Before the onlookers could even get a glimpse of the spectacle, the battle was already over...

Chu Yuan grabbed Xiang Ning by the neck with one hand, and the long knife in his hand had been broken in two.

His other hand gripped the Wind Slash and pressed it against Mao Rui's chest!

The sword tip pierced three-tenths of an inch into his flesh, and blood gushed out, soaking Mao Rui's clothes...

Xiang Ning gripped the broken sword, a hint of dazedness in his eyes;

That's too fast! It's incredibly fast!

He only saw a flash of cyan-gold light before his eyes, and the battle sword he had bought at a high price was already broken in two!

Mao Rui dared not move at all at this moment, as a sharp aura penetrated deep into his body and pressed firmly against his heart!

He knew that if he dared to advance even a fraction further, that aura would immediately erupt...

"Your storage ring is quite nice. Leave your things and get out of here," Chu Yuan said calmly.

His original strength was enough to easily defeat the two of them, not to mention that after cultivating the Gengjin Yuandao Technique, his strength has increased dramatically again! He is about to enter the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

However, Xiang Ning and Mao Rui posed no real threat to him;

But enemies are enemies, and the two of them attacked him directly!

Even if we kill them, it's their own fault.

Chu Yuan wouldn't treat this as an ordinary farce just because he's strong enough...

Mao Rui didn't seem afraid of death, looking at Chu Yuan: "He dares to give it, but I'm afraid you might not dare to take it..."

"Fatty! Stop talking!" Xiang Ning forced out the words, "I admit defeat, the storage ring is yours!"

......

"My God! That was instantaneous?"

"Who exactly is he?"

"I noticed he was wearing the uniform of Chenyang No. 1 Middle School. Where is Chenyang No. 1 Middle School?"

"It seems to be a small town under the jurisdiction of Yunan Prefecture?"

A commotion erupted on the stone platform. A student from Shen Du No. 7 Middle School looked at the girl next to him and asked, "Excuse me, are you from Chenyang No. 2 Middle School? Do you know him?"

The girl was staring at Chu Yuan with her mouth agape. She never imagined that this quiet and low-key boy, who had been so unassuming on the way here, would actually be so powerful.

She had indeed witnessed Chu Yuan easily defeat Qi Ying before;

To put it bluntly... who is Qi Ying? She doesn't know her at all.

Moreover, how could the martial artists of Yu Nan Prefecture compare to those of the Divine Capital?

"classmate?"

"Huh? Ah... We're both from Chenyang City." The girl tried to calm herself down and continued, "I don't know him either, I've just heard he has a lot of talent in martial arts..."

"You call this 'pretty good'?" The boy was speechless for a moment, then turned his gaze back, his tone indignant: "He actually dared to steal Xiang Ning's things... He'd better not go to Shenwu!"

The girl looked puzzled and asked in a low voice, "That Xiang Ning...don't you all dislike him?"

The boy frowned: "How did you figure that out?"

"I heard it from someone else..." the girl added, "and judging from their behavior, it seems a bit..."

"Does he seem like a bad person?"

"Uh, more or less..."

"It's not surprising that you have this impression since you haven't met Xiang Ning." The boy nodded, seemingly not wanting the girls to see Xiang Ning that way, and continued to explain: "Xiang Ning and Mao Rui are both very famous in the temple."

They don't associate with ordinary martial artists like us, but they've never bullied us either.

Although they may appear arrogant and domineering to others, the targets of their arrogance and domineering are always the disciples of martial arts families!

It was precisely because of Xiang Ning and Mao Rui that the scions of those powerful families in the capital city became much more restrained.

Otherwise, they will face endless beatings...

"So, they're still good people?" The girl's gaze towards Xiang Ning changed slightly.

I originally thought he was just a local thug from a prominent family, but I never expected him to act like this.

She wasn't from a martial arts family either, so her stance naturally sided with ordinary martial artists...

The thought of those who had bullied her at school because of their powerful families made her look at Chu Yuan with a hint of disgust.

The boy shook his head: "I don't know. Someone once asked Xiang Ning why she did this..."

Why?

He said he enjoys targeting those who think they have power and connections, crushing their arrogance into the dust!

"What about... that fat guy?"

"Although Mao Rui appears to be a lecher to outsiders, the girls he flirts with are usually from martial arts families;

As for ordinary people, he always pretended not to see them.

"But that's not a good idea either..."

The boy glanced at him and said, "You'll know how good it is when you're forced to kneel, slapped in the toilet, or even stripped naked and photographed... then you'll understand."

......

Chu Yuan paused as he took the storage ring;

With his divine sense activated, he could see everything happening on the stone platform.

He overheard the conversation between the boy and girl and immediately understood why Xiang Ning had suddenly turned hostile; it wasn't a sudden illness after all...

Although he was a playboy, he was a playboy with a chivalrous spirit in his heart.

In an instant, the anger in my heart subsided considerably;

No wonder when Xiang Ning and Mao Rui returned, people who knew them dared to ask them directly what had happened inside;

Conversely, none of the trial participants from Yu Nan Prefecture dared to ask Li Ji and Qi Ying any questions...

With a thought in mind, Chu Yuan put the storage ring on his hand and sheathed the Wind Slash.

"You were right before, they did volunteer to help me search for resources."

"Heh~" Xiang Ning seemed to disdain to reply and turned to leave;

"To be precise, it's also for their own sake;"

I am not searching for these resources for cultivation purposes, but to set up an array!

The secret realm has undergone a strange change. There are foreign martial artists in the Blood Abyss, and giant beasts are devouring countless of their own kind. At this moment, it is unknown what level they are at!

When I went to the Blood Abyss, there weren't any fourth-realm blood beasts yet, but when you went, they already were, with a difference of at most ten minutes... What does that mean?"

Xiang Ning stopped and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yuan sighed softly: "That means... that giant beast can't eat anymore!"

That's why new blood beasts began to be created!

This anomaly isn't due to anything within the secret realm itself, but rather the intervention of external forces! The secret realm trial lasts a total of five days... Given all these factors, when do you think they will make their move?

"Tomorrow? Or the day after?"

"almost."

Although Xiang Ning had just suffered a great loss, his verbal skills remained undiminished: "Heh, worrying unnecessarily...does that make you seem capable?"

"If the protector you mentioned is still alive, I certainly won't worry about it, but what if... he's already dead?" The scabbard traced a pattern on the hard stone.

"The Order of Chongshan!?"

"The owner of this medal is dead, he died in the Blood Abyss;

If I'm not mistaken, he should be the Protector from the military that you mentioned!
