Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

Faced with Cheng Long's punch, Chang Wen felt as if the entire world had frozen in an instant.

The spiritual energy was compressed into a tangible form by the fist's force, like a towering mountain crashing down upon them.

"The power of Mahayana Buddhism is terrifying."

Chang Wen had no time to think or escape; he could only deal with the situation.

When the true essence is circulated to its limit, the first volume of the Great Brightness Sutra unfolds directly.

The milky-white sphere of light rapidly expanded from him.

boom!

To Chang Wen's surprise, the light sphere had no effect whatsoever.

Cheng Long's fist, as big as a sandbag, landed squarely on him.

"Haha, your Great Brightness Sutra is only effective against attacks of true energy. This is a real, hard-hitting iron fist. How are you going to deal with it?"

Cheng Long laughed loudly and continued chasing Chang Wen.

"Damn it, you forced me to do this."

Chang Wen took a solid punch, which ignited his anger. He immediately activated the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Now is the perfect time to see where the limits of the law of heaven and earth lie.

"Are you annoyed?"

Cheng Long's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he added even more force.

boom--

The results came quickly.

Chang Wen was only pushed back a hundred feet, without a scratch.

His eyes lit up slightly. "Nothing's wrong? This 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation' only lasts for a hundred breaths, but that doesn't stop me from being a real man within those hundred breaths!"

"what?"

A strange look flashed in Cheng Long's eyes. "He actually caught it?"

It was perfectly normal for Chang Wen to be knocked back. What surprised him was that Chang Wen was actually able to withstand his punch.

It should be noted that although he only used 50% of his strength in that punch, it was still something that no ordinary cultivator undergoing tribulation could withstand.

Chang Wen not only caught it, but also appeared to be unharmed.

No, are the younger generation these days all of such high quality?

"You think you're good enough to box?"

Seeing Chang Wen block the attack, Ouyang Feng immediately put pressure on Cheng Long. He'd promised to let Chang Wen undergo rigorous training, so why was he still holding back?

"That was just a warm-up."

Cheng Long glanced at Ouyang Feng, chuckled, and then used six-tenths of his strength to lunge forward, saying, "Let me see how long you can last!"

Chang Wen...

"Uncle Long, let's fight, there's no need to get so worked up. What are you doing...?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Take this N punches!"

Cheng Long's eyes were now only on Chang Wen.

Bang bang bang bang!

A series of muffled, thunderous crashes rang out.

Chang Wen was ultimately too weak and was forced to retreat under Cheng Long's relentless onslaught.

After a hundred breaths.

Chang Wen was punched into the ground by Cheng Long, creating a huge crater dozens of feet long in the shape of a human.

"To have survived a hundred breaths against me has already exceeded expectations. However, it's not enough; there's still a lot of room for improvement."

Cheng Long was very satisfied.

Chang Wen...

Since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it and simply lay down in the pit and pretended to be dead.

"Get up now, stop pretending. I just saw you move."

Chang Wen...

As a result, Chang Wen was pulled out of the pit by Cheng Long and then beaten up for a full hour.

One hour later...

Chang Wen lay in the ditch, utterly despondent.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that being ordinary wasn't so bad; at least he wouldn't be dragged out to get beaten up at three in the morning.

Cheng Long is truly impressive; he really puts in his strength.

The sun is rising higher.

The disciples of Haoran Peak gradually awoke and began preparations for the reconstruction of Haoran Peak.

As they passed the training ground, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"What... what's going on?"

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded.

Why is the eldest brother lying in the pit instead of sleeping at night?

Before they could even react, a sharp sword intent descended from the sky.

The peak master of Tianjian Peak has arrived.

"Get up and practice your sword."

A cold voice came from above.

Chang Wen...

Everyone...

"I see……"

Fang Zheng and the others instantly realized that the peak masters were actually training their senior brother.

I dreamt of a series of crackling sounds, and I thought it was thunder.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but cast pitying glances at Chang Wen. At the same time, they were thankful that they hadn't comprehended the Great Brightness Sutra…

That's truly tragic.

"Uncle Jian, did you just finish halftime?"

Chang Wen spoke gently and politely to discuss the matter.

"Will the enemy give you a break on the battlefield? Get up and train!"

Tian Jianzi raised an eyebrow and immediately began the fight. A combination of sword strikes left Chang Wen questioning his very existence.

"It still has to be you, Senior Brother."

Chu Xinghe watched this scene with a knowing smile, "Anyone in this situation would have given up long ago."

"Junior Brother Xinghe, Senior Brother... he wouldn't have been killed by Uncle-Master Tianjianzi, would he?"

Fang Zheng couldn't help but worry.

"rest assured."

Chu Xinghe remained calm and composed, saying, "Senior Brother is still Senior Brother."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chang Wen was sent flying into the air by Tian Jianzi's sword. His screams were drawn out for a long time.

Founder...

"this……?"

He was unsure to speak.

Chu Xinghe remained unfazed. "You don't understand. Senior Brother is using screams to paralyze Uncle Tian Jianzi. He will launch a counterattack when the time is right."

"...Is that so? Then I'll have to wait and see."

Fang Zheng was skeptical.

The crowd temporarily put aside their work and focused on watching Chang Wen get beaten up, and more and more people gathered.

When Su Xiaoman rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Hey, where did Senior Brother go?"

She habitually ran to Changwen's room, pushed open the door and found no one there. She felt the panic of a child looking for their parents but not finding them.

"Xiaoman knows, is Senior Brother playing hide-and-seek with Xiaoman?"

She tilted her head and circled Chang Wen's residence. She didn't find him.

"Hehe, Senior Brother, have you forgotten? Xiaoman is no longer a mortal..."

Su Xiaoman chuckled and spread her divine sense, covering the entire Haoran Peak.

Then the little girl was stunned. What was going on at the martial arts arena?

Hearing the commotion coming from the training ground, the little girl quickly flew over.

Upon reaching the edge of the training ground, they froze in place.

"Big...Senior Brother?"

Su Xiaoman's brows furrowed instantly.

She rubbed her eyes, confirmed that the person on the ground was Chang Wen, and her eyes immediately reddened.

Who beat the senior brother up like this?

"Senior Brother!"

Su Xiaoman took off running towards the training ground, but was grabbed by Chu Xinghe.

"Xiaoman, don't go. Senior Brother is cultivating."

Chu Xinghe explained.

Ignoring everything else, Su Xiaoman cried out, "Third Senior Brother, let me go! I need to help Eldest Senior Brother!"

"Xiaoman, listen to me..."

It took Chu Xinghe a lot of effort to calm Su Xiaoman down. He explained, "This is an opportunity to become stronger that ordinary people can only dream of."

"Get stronger?"

Su Xiaoman didn't understand, how could getting beaten up make you stronger?

Could it be that the eldest brother deliberately feigned weakness to give Father the wrong impression, making Father underestimate his opponent, and then directly take Father down?

So it turns out that the eldest brother did all of this for Xiaoman...

For Xiaoman's sake, he was willing to let others hit him...

"No, Xiaoman, don't watch your senior brother get beaten up."

The little girl was filled with countless emotions and tried hard to break free from Chu Xinghe's restraints.

"That way you won't be able to see it."

Chu Xinghe found a piece of cloth from somewhere and blindfolded Su Xiaoman.

Su Xiaoman...

……

The next few days.

Chang Wen has a very regular daily routine.

He was woken up by Ouyang Feng kicking the door open at 3 AM, beaten up by Cheng Long at 5 AM, chased and slashed by Tian Jianzi at 9 AM, and rested for half an hour at noon.

At 1-3 PM, he was trapped and tortured in the formation by the Peak Master of the Formation Peak; at 3-5 PM, he was blasted to a pulp by the Peak Master of the Talisman Peak; at 5-7 PM, he was forced to drink various medicinal soups by the Peak Master of the Pill Peak; and at 7-9 PM, he had to listen to Xue Wuqing preach.

Across twelve hours a day, excluding the half-hour lunch break, Chang Wen was either getting beaten up or on his way to get beaten up...
