Chapter 42: Young Master Chen Xuan

  A new week, everyone!

  ……

  Boom!

  A loud crash almost shattered the shield.

  The force of the rebound sent the beast flying out, badly injured. But the beast was not ready to give up yet, and it charged forward again, desperately pounding against the shield.

  "Hmm"

  Chen Mo gazed at it intently, his brow furrowed in concentration, watching its movements.

  An hour later, with a crisp crack, the shield almost shattered into countless fragments and turned into nothingness.

  "Roar!" The beast let out an excited and enraged howl, its sharp claws swiping viciously at Chen Mo. It seemed to know that the human in front of it was the one who had stolen the spiritual fruit it had been guarding for so long.

  Chen Mo waited until the beast approached, then immediately used his Willow Leaf Body Technique. His body was like a willow leaf blown by the wind, his toes lightly floating off the ground, drifting high into the corner of the mountain cave's upper rear section.

  At the same time, Xiaobai's turtle eyes flipped over. Ah Wu spat out a mouthful of water and sprayed out a column of water.

  The beast ape retreated several steps, drenched from head to toe.

  It seems that Xiao Ba is also growing rapidly, and this water pillar is much more powerful than when it was first born. Those Ling spirits, Fruit spirits, and demon beasts didn't eat the barbecue for nothing.

  For something as thick-skinned as it, this bit of pain doesn't count for much.

  Roaring and continuing to pounce on Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo floated gently in mid-air for a moment, the tip of his foot lightly touching the surface of the water, before landing softly on the edge of the pool.

  Plop! The beast ape fell into the icy pool with a splash.

  Taking this opportunity, Chen Mo immediately urged the Xuan Qi to move at extreme speed towards the entrance of the cave. Xiao Ba also spread its four limbs and followed Chen Mo in a frantic sprint. It didn't want to stay here and be torn into pieces by that mad gibbon, after all, it was just starting out as a foodie.

  Listening to the beast howling behind, Chen Mo and Xiao Ba rushed out of the cave entrance. He picked up the turtle, unfolded his willow-whip body method, and hurriedly swept towards the direction of his family.

  ……

  A few days later.

  The martial arts arena of the Chen family was extremely lively, with a noisy atmosphere and a passionate scene, indicating that this grand competition had already approached its final stage.

  A circular bluestone platform, square and flat, with uneven heights, covered with different fighting marks, dark red spots all over, showing the tragic bloodiness of a hundred years of trials.

  Nine copper lions with ancient faces, standing on the four sides of the bluestone platform, thick copper rings linked together around their necks, majestic and solemn, magnificent.

  The Chen family's children all gathered around the bluestone platform, holding their breath and looking up with rapt attention at this thrilling competition.

  Only on the green stone platform, black and white clothes fluttered and flew about, fiercely competing, with thunderous sounds.

  Chen Bo's entire body was clad in black, his arms bulging with immense power, as if about to burst. His tightly clenched fists were like iron bones, radiating a fierce and menacing aura. His fist transformed into a series of overlapping fist silhouettes, akin to a massive hammer weighing thousands of kilograms, hurtling towards Chen Xuan's head.

  "Mount Tai suppresses the top", a mediocre product of the Xuan technique, has already reached a small accomplishment realm. Its power can directly crush people, making them soft and paralyzed like mud, as if Mount Tai's giant pressure crushed people to pieces.

  On the other hand, Chen Xuan, wearing a moon-white long shirt, rotated in mid-air, like a bright and clear cold moon with majestic momentum. In that unhurried and unflustered interval, his palm surged with a forest-cool aura, and the surrounding air suddenly dropped by a notch.

  The Chen family members in the front row suddenly felt a chill, as if their pores were being penetrated, and they shivered involuntarily.

  "Surging waves crash against the shore"

  Like angry sea water surging up a thousand layers of furious waves, the power in the mountains is layered and stacked high.

  A loud crash.

  Under the impact of the two phases, Chen Bo's neck violently shook and trembled. The aftershocks did not stop, his whole body convulsed and trembled, like a tiger that suddenly lost its strength, heavily crashing onto the bluestone platform.

  Chen Xuan's profound and exquisite skills are unparalleled among the ordinary products of the middle tier, and like Chen Bo, they have a slight accomplishment, but their power is more evident than Chen Bo's. The layered force that bursts forth, wave after wave, unrelenting, is not just a fierce and powerful path.

  A thunderous applause erupted from the audience, with flattering words flooding in. Indeed, as the son of the tribe's leader, Chen Xuan was born with a noble status and his strength was truly impressive. The final match was completely predictable, and as expected, Chen Xuan won.

  Some of the Chen family's beauties, with their jade pendants tinkling, fragrance wafting gently, charming smiles, and loving gazes, whispered to each other, their eyes shining brightly as they gazed adoringly at Chen Xuan, completely enchanted by the young prodigy Chen Xuan.

  Chen Xuan was neither arrogant nor proud, just as calm and composed as usual. He patted his robe with a gentle smile and nodded at Chen Bo, ignoring the red sleeves waving in invitation. His majestic figure turned to gaze intently at a flash of red shadow.

  He Lian Huo Wu's pure and lively figure, with a natural and noble demeanor, made Chen Xuan unable to look away. She stood elegantly, her delicate figure standing out in the back, relying on her pure fire attribute and exquisite technique, achieving fourth place in the trial, also making her reputation soar, attracting attention from all directions. Her future prospects are boundless.

  He Lian Huo Wu silently gazed at the green stone beneath her feet, directly ignoring Chen Xuan on the green stone platform. Her warm and gentle eyes were filled with a scorching gaze. Invisible chains bound her body, making her feel inexplicably flustered and resistant. She couldn't help but think of her second brother, Chen Mo, anxiously wondering why he still hadn't arrived.

  Wasn't Second Brother out cultivating elsewhere when something happened? For a time he was extremely anxious and worried, how would he still have the energy to care about that useless Chen Xuan?

  On the high platform, Tribal Chief Chen Zhengfeng's face was radiant with joy. With an air of dignity and composure, he sat steadily in his seat. His square face was filled with delight, as if to say "Tigers do not breed dogs", his son had brought honor to him. People around him congratulated and praised Chen Zhengfeng.

  On the side, Chen De Shui's face was gloomy, and with a single step, an innocent ant was crushed into powder. He didn't expect that Chen Xuan, that little brat, had hidden his strength so deeply. In his heart, he secretly hated him, his thoughts as venomous as a snake, gazing at Chen Zhengfeng on the side. Silently cursing, don't be too happy too early, sooner or later I'll trample you father and son under my feet, cutting you into pieces, never to rise again.

  "Xuan Er, Xuan Qi and Xuan Ji have made great progress, it's really...". Chen De Shui spoke insincerely, offering a warm and friendly congratulatory remark.

  But the words hadn't been spoken yet.

  All that was seen was Chen Bo, who had crawled up from the ground on the bluestone platform, his facial muscles twitching involuntarily as he stared venomously at Chen Xuan's back. This battle with Chen Xuan not only ended in defeat, but also trampled his self-esteem to the extreme.

  With a sudden burst, he sprang up, his feet treading on the green stone, desperately urging the vital energy throughout his body. He concentrated all his strength, clenched his fists until the joints crackled, and a layer of dark energy quickly gathered around him.

  One punch ambush, like thunder exploding from the ground, rumbling wind and thunder, directly attacking Chen Xuan's back. If struck, Chen Xuan will definitely be defeated, his bones shattered, with no chance of escape.

  "Huh?"

  Everyone present gasped in shock, witnessing Chen Bo's despicable and shameless sneak attack at the critical moment.

  Chen Zhengfeng's liver and gallbladder burst, he flew forward, but it was already too late.

  Chen De-shui, however, was gleaming with excitement, secretly pleased. No matter what vicious tricks Chen Bo played, as long as there was a winning outcome, why bother about the process? If anyone was to blame, it was only that Chen Xuan was too careless, relaxing his guard before the fight was even over and going off to admire the beauty. Didn't he know that the world of martial arts is full of danger, where the winner takes all?

  He has a thousand reasons to find excuses for his son's behavior.

  Chen Mo's clothes were tattered and dusty, his face covered in dirt, gasping for breath as he rushed to the crowd at Qing Shi Tai. Fortunately, the trial had not yet ended. As he looked up onto the stage again, his heavy breathing suddenly stopped, and he was shocked by a stunning scene.

  Unfortunately, Chen De-shui and his son underestimated Chen Xuan. In a flash, Chen Xuan seemed to have grown eyes in the back of his head, dodged half a step, supported himself with one palm on the ground, and formed a straight line with his body, like a drawn bowstring.

  “Heng” a foot struck Chen Bo's chest, like a sharp arrow shooting into the bullseye, power bursting out, like a mallet striking a golden gong, shockwaves spreading, dust on the bluestone platform swirling up and dispersing with the airflow.

  Chen Boru flew out like a broken sack, colliding with the bronze lion, the copper ring on its face 'clanging' continuously, jumping non-stop, like the golden spear drumming on the battlefield.

  Like a dead dog, Chen Bo couldn't believe it, his eyes wide with terror, his breastbone shattered. His throat was sweet, and fresh blood spurted out, sprinkling the bluestone platform with a mournful sound, seeping into the cracks. His whole body was powerless, his chest like an empty leather bag, devoid of any support, crashing down into the blood.

  Chen Xuan shrinks back his legs in disgust, as if he had touched something filthy, and retreats three feet.

  Chen De's body sank into the water, and he hastily sent someone to rescue him.

  Young people also can't stand this kind of despicable behavior and scolded in unison.

  Chen Xuan's calm and waveless eyes suddenly had a jump of angry fire, that one kick only used five or six parts of his strength, otherwise Chen Bo's breastbone would shatter, his heart would burst and he would surely die. Considering they were all descendants of the Chen family, without any deep grudges, he spared three points of face.

  He Lianhuo let out a slight sigh of relief, although she disliked Chen Xuan's affection for her. But after all, if it weren't for Chen Zhengfeng's support during this period, her small family would have been driven away by Chen Deshui long ago.

  But at this time, she was more worried about her second brother Chen Mo. He had promised to return and participate in the family comparison, but what if something really happened to him? She was so anxious that tears were almost falling from her eyes.

  A disheveled Chen Mo was blocked by the crowd, trying to squeeze his way to the front of the Qing Shi platform. But there were just too many people, and he couldn't push his way through.

  "Miss He Lian."

  A clear and loud call, once again attracted everyone's attention. Chen Xuan smiled warmly and sincerely, with a clear voice saying: "I admire the lady's extraordinary talent, I am willing to use the first prize of the Chen family's trial as a reward and honor to marry the lady, please accept my proposal."

  One word shocked everyone, and a burst of noise erupted. Everyone's eyes 'swept' towards Helian Fire Dance at once. Each person reacted differently.

  Chen Mo's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes had a stern and severe look.

  Some of the lovely ladies who adored Chen Xuan were shocked, their little hearts shattered. Their eyes welled up with tears, and they glared at He Lianhuo with fierce anger.

  No chance to catch up with the first-born son, who is extremely coveted, and the reward is very rich? Can choose a skill from the family at will and be taught by the elder. Making rapid progress, success is just around the corner. Will definitely surpass other sons and daughters, and those who come later will not be able to catch up no matter how hard they work.
