Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

Chen Yuan's eyes darted around, and he heard a faint sound coming from the top of the carriage. He could vaguely sense the flow of wind elements, so the evil immortal must have used the Xun character technique to escape.

At this moment, the carriage passed by Sihai Tower, and one could faintly hear a storyteller on the second floor reciting the Legend of the White Snake. The part he was telling seemed to be the White Snake stealing the immortal herb to save Xu Xian.

"Tsk, this Lady White Snake is really devoted to love. She was willing to go through fire and water for Xu Xian. It's a pity that this is just a story."

Chen Yuan started to joke.

There aren't that many romantic relationships in real life.

"Young master, what you're saying is true. The story is adapted from some real-life events. I don't think it's a bad thing for people to have some fantasies in their hearts."

"Oh, by the way, young master, you're in for a treat tonight. Master is entertaining a distinguished guest, so he's specially invited the head chef from Fushunzhai to come to our manor to cook."

Butler Pei said with a smile.

"Fu Shun Zhai? Their chef makes pretty good Cantonese food, especially their crispy roast goose. But who did my dad hire?"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

His father hired not only high-ranking officials and nobles, but also extraordinary figures from the martial arts world.

It seems that even his own father had connections with some progressive figures and provided them with considerable financial assistance.

He still admired his cheap father for this.

It's rare that he's not a businessman who reeks of money.

"I don't know about that. Sometimes when the master invites people, even I, Old Pei, don't recognize them all."

Butler Pei shrugged.

The old man in their family has so many friends from all over the world that he sometimes doesn't even recognize them all. Apart from a few people he often socializes with, he doesn't know the rest at all.

"That's a pity. But we can try that crispy roast goose tonight; it tastes quite good."

Chen Yuan muttered something.

But at least it's enough to satisfy my cravings.

"Young Master, why are you asking about these things? Master will definitely introduce you to him later. You should focus on your studies at the school with Mr. Xu. His knowledge is truly admirable. There's nothing wrong with learning more."

Butler Pei began to mutter to himself.

“…I know that.”

Chen Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

Speaking of Mr. Xu, he also had a bit of a headache. Although Mr. Xu taught him a lot, he could be quite annoying at times.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, aren't you coming to play with us?"

Outside the carriage, the voices of Erzhuang and Sanpao could be heard, and several little kids were waving at him.

"Young Master! Please don't go. If the Master finds out, he'll definitely beat you up."

Seeing this, Butler Pei quickly raised his voice.

He was also afraid that Chen Yuan would run away again, and he would probably get a beating when he got back.

"Old Pei, what kind of person do you take me for? I know my limits."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

He was planning to go back and practice his Pi Gua (a martial arts technique). Before, he was just hanging out with Er Zhuang and the others, but that was before he learned any skills. Now, things are different.

"That's good, that's good!"

Butler Pei also breathed a sigh of relief.

His young master has finally matured; that's rare indeed.

"I need to go back and practice the Pi Gua technique, and also take the reverse life method a step further. Besides, I have a lot of things to do, so I need to make the most of every second."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the path of cultivation, one either progresses or regresses, and he didn't want to waste his time.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan opened the letter Liu Changqing had given him earlier and continued to study the training method of "Pi Gua Quan".

Before long, the carriage arrived at the Chen residence.

Chen Yuan followed Butler Pei out of the car and found that, in addition to his adoptive father, there were indeed a few more people in the courtyard. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with small eyes, wearing a beige mandarin jacket and short white hair.

Standing beside him were two little kids, none other than Lü Ren and Lü Ci, whom Chen Yuan had touched before.

"Brother Lü, it's an honor to have you here! Haha, these two must be your sons?"

Mr. Chen asked with a smile.

"Huh!? It's you, you bastard!"

The moment Lü Ci saw Chen Yuan, he was stunned. A complex mix of emotions flashed across his face: frustration, depression, helplessness, and a hint of anger.

If he could, he would love to go up and punch Chen Yuan right now.

But when he recalled the humiliation of that day, he paused, fearing that if he were beaten to tears again, it would be even more shameful.

"Oh? So this is Mr. Chen's son? No wonder we share the same surname!"

Lu Ren's gaze also turned towards them, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

After not seeing him for two days, Chen Yuan seemed to have much more Qi than his second brother, which he found somewhat unbelievable.

"Chen Yuan, you little rascal, what mischief have you gotten yourself into now? Did you beat up Mr. Lü's kid?!"

Mr. Chen was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves.

This little brat is absolutely outrageous!

“Boss Chen, it’s just kids playing around. Besides, this kid is a cultivator. He got beaten up because he’s not skilled enough. How can you blame your son?”

A look of surprise flashed in Lü Tian's eyes.

Is this the kid Lu Ren mentioned before, the one who defeated Lu Ci using the "Shaking Pill" technique?

That's unbelievable.

This child's physical body doesn't seem to have completed the Foundation Establishment stage yet, but his Qi is a bit more than Lü Ci's, which shouldn't be the case.

He remembered that Boss Chen had mentioned that his child had received guidance from Master Zuo a few days ago, but the amount of Qi he displayed was quite surprising. Could this child be a genius?

“Dad, Mr. Lü is right. My fight with this Brother Lü Ci was just a casual one.”

Chen Yuan gave a dry laugh.

Although he's no longer afraid of being spanked by his father, being beaten is still a bit humiliating, after all, he's an adult who transmigrated from another world.

"You little brat, just you wait! If it weren't for entertaining Mr. Lü today, you'd be getting a beating!"

Mr. Chen snorted.

But he was also quite puzzled. He remembered that Mr. Lü's two children were also cultivators. How could this kid, who had only been practicing for a short time, possibly beat them?

"Alright, Mr. Chen, it's just kids playing around. Let's go inside and have a drink, and let the kids play in the yard."

Lu Tian said with a smile, and then pulled Boss Chen into the hall.

Only Chen Yuan, Lü Ren, and Lü Ci remained, looking at each other.

"Brother Lü Ren, Brother Lü Ci, it's a coincidence that we meet again."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and gave Lü Ci, who was breathing out in the cold air, a friendly smile.

This kid is already his defeated opponent. Even when his Qi was weaker than Lü Ci's, he was able to give this kid a good beating, let alone now.

Chapter 55: Pi Gua and Bajiquan (Second Update)

"Yes, Brother Chen, we are truly destined to meet. My second brother has been talking about you these past few days!"

Lu Ren also revealed a strange smile.

Lu Ci had been very resentful ever since he was beaten up. After all, Lu Ci's Qi was clearly superior to Chen Yuan's before, yet he lost so humiliatingly.

"Hmph, you were lucky before. Today I'm going to fight you again! But you're not allowed to use those sorcery tricks you used before. If we're going to fight, let's fight fair and square, just with our fists and feet!"

Lu Ci said through gritted teeth.

He believed that he lost to Chen Yuan because the method that could transfer his strength was too strange, which was why he lost so badly. If it were just a matter of fists and feet, he would definitely win.

"Only fistfights?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

That's great!

He was looking forward to practicing the Pi Gua Quan (劈挂拳) that Liu Changqing had given him, to see the power of Pi Gua Quan combined with Bajiquan (八极拳).

I never expected someone to come knocking on my door like this.

What's that saying again? When you're sleepy, someone brings you a pillow.

"Nonsense, don't tell me you wouldn't dare!"

Lu Ci's eyes narrowed. He was determined to get revenge for the beating he had suffered earlier, or else he would change his mind.

"What do I have to be afraid of, Brother Lü? Let's have a little spar right here in this courtyard!"

Chen Yuan chuckled and then assumed a stance for the Pi Gua Quan (劈挂拳) style of martial arts.

"Huh? This seems to be Pi Gua Quan? Wasn't Brother Chen using Bajiquan before?"

Lu Ren, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised.

"Today I'll show you the power of my fists!"

Lu Ci roared angrily.

He miscalculated last time, but since this guy promised not to use those "evil spells" this time, he should be able to teach this guy a lesson.

Bang!

Lu Ci suddenly charged forward, his fist brimming with Ruyi energy, and slammed it fiercely towards Chen Yuan, intending to give this guy a good beating.

"Hehe, you've come at the right time! Eight Deceitful Gods - White Tiger!"

When Chen Yuan saw Lü Ci approaching, he immediately revealed a "playful" smile. He activated the divine disc under his feet, and in an instant, a white aura condensed on his fists.
