"Boom!"
The full moon landed on the arena, giving off a loud sound. This time, the Moon Bright Like Fire was much stronger than the one Zhang He had used earlier. The huge arena was shattered into countless pieces.
A huge shockwave spread out in all directions. Some of the people who were standing closer to the arena were struck by the shattered pieces. Their Qi and blood surged, and they suffered significant injuries. This was truly an undeserved calamity.
The dust on the arena danced in the air. The people who were far away could not see what was happening. They could not help but feel anxious when they saw what was happening.
"What a strong Moon Bright Like Fire, it is even stronger than the one Zhang He executed."
"There is dust everywhere. Who won?"
Although they wanted to know the result, they were afraid that something unexpected would happen. They did not dare to rush forward. The people who were injured by the shattered pieces were a living example of this.
After a long time, when the thick dust finally dispersed, everyone could clearly see the situation on the arena.
The two meter tall arena made of Heavenly Mountain Stones no longer existed. All that was left were countless pieces of rubble. Zhang He was lying on the ground, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. The Shadow Bearing Sword in his hand had already disappeared.
The arena master standing at the side had an indescribable dispirited expression on his face. The arena that he had painstakingly built was gone, just like that. Although he could obtain a tenth of the wager as a commission, it was far from being able to compare to the damage to the arena.
The situation was clear at a glance. Everyone knew that Xiao Chen had won this duel. He had defeated a Medial Grade Martial Master, Zhang He, as a Medial Grade Martial Disciple.
Such news would definitely shock Mohe City. It would even spread far and wide in Qizi County. Xiao Chen, who was an entire realm lower than him, had actually defeated Zhang He. This was definitely explosive news.
This battle had also completely rid Xiao Chen of the reputation of being trash in Mohe City. Everyone could predict that an unparalleled genius had appeared.
While everyone was discussing this, there was only one person standing there with a complicated expression on his face. He was Xiao Chen's elder brother, Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian held a Neidan in his hand. That was the Neidan of the Rainbow Flame Python. Before Xiao Chen left, he had tossed it to Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
He really wanted to throw away the Rainbow Flame Python's inner core. He didn't want to accept Xiao Chen's charity, but he really couldn't bear to do it.
…
Three days later, in the Xiao Mansion.
In Xiao Chen's yard, Bao 'er quietly asked, "Second Young Master, the First Elder sent someone to get you again. Are you going to reject him again?"
Xiao Chen recovered from his cultivation state and smiled bitterly in his heart. You don't have to be so anxious. You've been urging me more than ten times in three days.
After the duel that day, although Xiao Chen barely managed to defeat Zhang He, the time limit of the Essence Swallowing Pill was up. Very soon, the Essence Swallowing Pill would cause a backlash.
He was worried that he would be intercepted and killed in the middle of his journey. After taking away the Chengying Sword, he immediately felt it. In order not to let the side effects of the Cloud Swallowing Pill leave a hidden danger in his body, he had to use the Cloud Swallowing Pill.
Xiao Chen had not gone out for the past three days. He had been refining the remnant Essence of the Cloud Swallowing Pill in his body. Furthermore, he had comprehended many things in that battle.
Xiao Chen did not want anyone to disturb him, so he chose to close his doors and refuse to see anyone. Only now did he completely digest the Essence of the Cloud Swallowing Pill. However, there were many things that he had comprehended in that battle that he had yet to comprehend. He could only think about them in the future.
If he did not go out now, the First Elder would definitely send someone to barge in. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen said to the door, "Bao 'er, go and inform them that I will be out soon."
After tidying up his clothes, Xiao Chen thought about how to deal with the First Elder. Then, he opened the door and took a deep breath. Slowly, he walked towards the First Elder's yard.
Along the way, all the Xiao Clan disciples that he met looked at him with a completely different expression. The gossip that he often heard in the past no longer existed. Everyone's expressions were the same as they appeared on the surface; they all held reverence for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not really care about the attitude of the Xiao Clan disciples. He took large strides forward and soon arrived at Xiao Qiang's yard.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Yulan sat at the stone table in the yard. Xiao Yulan was still as beautiful as ever. Every time he saw her, he would be moved.
"Cousin Xiao Chen, now that you are famous, you start to play cards. You are not even willing to meet your cousin," Xiao Yulan said half-truthfully when she saw Xiao Chen walk over.
Xiao Chen first bowed to the First Elder before saying from under the table, "Cousin Yulan, I am sorry. I have been recuperating for the past few days. It is not convenient for me to meet anyone."
When Xiao Yulan saw Xiao Chen apologizing seriously, she hurriedly said, "I was just joking with you. Everyone knows that you are recuperating."
Ever since Xiao Chen entered, Xiao Qiang's gaze had been fixed on Xiao Chen, never leaving him. At this moment, he took over the conversation, "Second Young Master, are there any major problems with your body? There are still some Rank 7 herbs in the Xiao Clan's dispensary. Don't bear everything on your own. "
The Xiao Clan had been in charge of Seven Horn Mountain for over a hundred years. It was not strange for them to have a few Rank 7 herbs. Xiao Chen said, "There are no major problems. Thank you First Elder for your kind intentions."
"Then I am relieved. I do not have to worry about the Trial of Gloomy Forest in two days." After Xiao Qiang said that, he changed the topic, "What exactly did you obtain from the Thunder King's cave? Can you tell me in detail?"
Others might not be able to figure out the reason for Xiao Chen's sudden burst of combat prowess. However, Xiao Qiang could easily link it to the Thunder King's cave.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change; he had already guessed that the First Elder would ask this. He placed the Lunar Shadow Saber on the table and said, "This is the Thunder King's Thunder Wood Sword from back then. I reforged it into a Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon. I obtained the inheritance of the Thunder King from it."
Xiao Chen's words were half true and half false; no one could find any flaws in it. Following that, he made up a story about how he obtained the inheritance. After listening to it, Xiao Qiang believed this answer.
He cautiously said to Xiao Chen, "Don't tell anyone about you obtaining the inheritance of the Thunder King. Otherwise, it will bring you a disaster. This matter is very important. My Xiao Clan might even prosper because of it."
The Thunder King was the most famous Emperor Wu in the past thousand years. His fame in the continent could be said to be very widespread, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Many people yearned for his inheritance. If they were to know that Xiao Chen obtained the inheritance of the Thunder King, then Xiao Chen would be hunted down endlessly.
Xiao Yulan picked up the Lunar Shadow Saber on the table and examined it carefully. She praised, "This saber is really cousin's lucky item. Back then, it helped us escape from the cave. Now, it helped cousin obtain the inheritance of the Thunder King. It is truly a good saber."
Xiao Chen smiled in his heart. Although Cousin Yulan was very talented in combat, her thoughts were still very pure. She actually described such a strong Demonic Weapon as being lucky twice.
He suddenly thought of something and took out the Chengying Sword from the Universe Ring. He handed it to Xiao Yulan and said, "Cousin Yulan, back then, you gave me all those Moonstones. Now, I'm giving you this Chengying Sword as compensation."
When Xiao Yulan heard this, she smiled and said, "I do not dare to take this sword. The Zhang Clan's Clan Head came a few times in the past few days, wanting to redeem this sword."
"We absolutely cannot let them redeem it. How can we let go of something that is already in our hands?" Xiao Chen said. The material of this Chengying Sword was forged from top-notch Frost Iron.
Furthermore, it contained a trace of Righteous Qi. However, because it did not contain a large amount of Moonstones, its rank could not be raised. Its actual value was very high.
Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen was a little reluctant to give it to Xiao Yulan. After he cultivated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the second layer, he had always wanted to refine a protective Magic Treasure.
However, he was unable to do so due to a lack of materials. If he did not give this sword to Xiao Yulan, he felt that he could refine a pretty good Magic Treasure.
If he gave it to the Zhang Clan, it would be too much of a loss.
When Xiao Yulan saw Xiao Chen's nervous expression, she smiled tactfully. Her pretty face was like a flower, completely devoid of her usual cold expression. She said, "Don't worry. Father's intentions are the same as yours. I will never let go of something that is already in my hands. As long as it is something that you give me, I will dare to use it."
Xiao Chen blushed with shame in his heart. Cousin Yulan's personality seemed to have undergone a huge change. She no longer had the cold and distant attitude that she had when they first met.
Today, she even joked with him twice. The tragic thing was that he did not realize it. However, he did not know the thoughts of a girl. When joking with someone, it depended on who the person was.
If the other disciples of the Xiao Clan saw the famous icy beauty of the Xiao Clan chatting so happily with Xiao Chen, they would definitely be shocked.
The three of them chatted for a long time about the Trial of Gloomy Forest. Xiao Qiang told them about his experiences in the Trial of Gloomy Forest without holding anything back.
Before they left, something unexpected happened to Xiao Chen. The First Elder, Xiao Qiang, asked about the Martial Spirit in Xiao Chen's body again. Furthermore, he requested to check it out personally.
This caused the doubts that Xiao Chen had long ago to resurface. Could it be that the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit really had some unspeakable secret?
When Xiao Qiang's consciousness entered Xiao Chen's body, Xiao Chen hid the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in his body into the white clouds. He used his Spiritual Sense to imitate a purple flame, barely concealing it from Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Chen returned to his room filled with doubts. He laid on the bed and thought about this question.
Why did the First Elder care so much about his own Martial Spirit? Xiao Jian's Blue Dragon Martial Spirit had already disappeared for a thousand years. It was not strange for them to be cautious.
However, Xiao Chen could feel a sense of fear from the First Elder's attitude. That was fear of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. Every time he knew that the Martial Spirit in his body was not the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit, the First Elder's attitude would become much more relaxed.
What secret was this Blue Dragon Martial Spirit hiding?
Just at this moment, Bai suddenly jumped out from the Spirit Blood Jade that Xiao Chen wore on his chest. It looked around for Ao Jiao. Its anxious look was extremely cute.
When Xiao Chen saw Bai's appearance, he revealed a smile. These few days, every time this little fellow came out, it would look for Ao Jiao. When it could not find her, it would open its pitiful eyes and look at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen knew that this little fellow must have gotten addicted to the Heaven and Earth Essence. However, now that Ao Jiao had sealed herself in the Lunar Shadow Saber, Xiao Chen did not know when he would be able to see her again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen could not help but feel melancholy. Without that lass by his side, he felt that something was missing.
Hugging Bai in his embrace, Xiao Chen started to infuse Essence into its body, circulating the Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation's cultivation method.
This was something he had started doing after returning three days ago. Naturally, it was better for Spirit Beasts to cultivate as early as possible. Bai was an innate Rank 6 Spirit Beast. In the future, it would definitely be a great help to Xiao Chen.
