Now, it was not just Hu Hai and the others. Even Chen Xiao's expression changed as they gazed at Xiao Chen, bewildered.
What kind of place was the Central Province? It was the center of the entire Tianwu Domain. It was also where the Bushin Palace was located. Unexpectedly, the originally unremarkable Xiao Chen had already become famous in the Central Province.
Who were Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng? One was a legendary Holy Daughter, and the other was one of the seven giants of young cultivators, comparable to Shui Lingling.
These two actually lost to Xiao Chen in a bet. No matter how one thought about it, it was inconceivable.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat astonished as well. He had not expected that a simple attempt at the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking would cause so much trouble.
"First Senior Sister, what is going on with the Monarch Blood Grass and that half drop of Dragon Marrow? Can you tell me the details?"
Not thinking about anything else, Xiao Chen directly asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time.
Shui Lingling smiled gently and said, "Back then, Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng made a bet to see whose disciple could make it higher on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking. In the end, both of their disciples lost to you. Hence, the bet ended up with you."
Xiao Chen shook his head in disbelief. The Monarch Blood Grass and the half drop of Dragon Marrow were very precious. He was not sure about Nuan Muyun, but Wang Meng had a bad reputation. How could he obediently hand over the half drop of Dragon Marrow?
Shui Lingling smiled faintly but did not want to explain. She said, "Wang Meng is an arrogant and warlike person. No matter what the reason is, you used the half drop of Dragon Marrow. It will not be a good thing for you to run into him.
"It is still fine in the Haotian Province. There will not be many opportunities to run into him. However, once you go to the Savage Battlefield, there will be a high chance of running into him. Furthermore, the Savage Battlefield is indeed very dangerous. You should think about it carefully before making a decision. "
Xiao Chen answered with certainty, "I have to go to the Savage Battlefield. No matter who or why, they will not be able to stop me."
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you're not strong enough. We'll have to take care of you if you go there. If you run into Wang Meng, it'll only make things difficult for First Senior Sister. Why do you have to do this?"
When Hu Hai heard that, he could not take it anymore and said, "Junior Brother Wang, how can you say that?"
Wang Cheng said disapprovingly, "What did I say? I was speaking the truth. He is just a Medial Grade Martial Monarch. Which one of us is not a middle-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch? Junior Brother Chen, tell me, am I right?"
Chen Xiao nodded lightly, expressing his approval.
Jun Si was anxious, but she was also a little confused. She didn't know why Wang Cheng's face changed so quickly. Chen Xiao didn't speak up for Xiao Chen either.
Xiao Chen saw all of this and sneered in his heart. He didn't argue or say a word. He just waited calmly for Shui Lingling's answer.
Shui Lingling's bright eyes were deep and boundless. With her intelligence, she had more or less guessed everything in front of her.
"I understand. Since you've already made up your mind, come with me when the time comes. The elders guarding the city are still dealing with the demonized Spirit Beasts. They need my help there, so I'll take my leave first. "
Without much thought, Shui Lingling agreed to Xiao Chen's request. The Profound Sun Bird on her shoulder turned into a beam of dim light and quickly enlarged. Then, it carried Shui Lingling into the distance.
Xiao Chen said goodbye to Hu Hai and Jun Si. Then, without even looking at Wang Cheng, he leaped off the city wall and headed back to the Haotian Sect.
Confused, Jun Si asked, "Senior Brother Wang, didn't we agree to bring Xiao Chen to the Savage Battlefield after we complete the mission?"
Wang Cheng smiled coldly and said, "Before we came, we did not know that he had a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. We would never have guessed that the attack he could burst out with was as strong as Senior Brother Hu's. All the more, we would not have known that his performance against the countless Demonic Beasts was no weaker than ours.
"The most important thing is that he is only twenty-one years old. The youngest of the four of us is already twenty-five years old."
Jun Si finally understood. It turned out that Wang Cheng feared Xiao Chen's rapid growth, which frightened him. Hence, he wanted to suppress Xiao Chen.
"Short-sighted," Hu Hai said disdainfully. Hu Hai Hai said with disdain. He shook his head and said, "What kind of person is First Senior Sister? How can she not see through your thoughts? Doing this will only make others look down on you. A true genius is never afraid of competition."
Wang Cheng still wanted to argue, but after Hu Hai finished speaking, he left alone. Jun Si also felt ashamed for Wang Cheng. She was not willing to say anything more, so she just walked away.
…
Three days later, Xiao Chen returned to the Haotian Sect. He took a good bath and swept away all the fatigue from the past few days. Now, he was completely recovered.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to put on all his clothes. He only wore a pair of shorts and took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from the Universe Ring.
This bottle contained the blood marrow of the Golden Savage Ox's spine. The Golden Savage Ox had the bloodline of an ancient Savage Beast. Savage Beasts were famous for their pure physical strength.
With just their Vital Qi, the ancient Sages and Martial Emperors did not dare to fight against them. One could easily imagine how shocking their Vital Qi was.
The Savage Beast blood in the Golden Savage Ox was already diluted to a negligible level. However, its blood marrow was still very effective for cultivators who cultivated the physical body. It was worth cities and was not something that ordinary Medicinal Pills could compare to.
A resolute look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He held the porcelain bottle tightly. The Savage Battlefield was dangerous. Even describing it as a narrow escape would be an understatement.
Xiao Chen needed to strengthen himself further. Only by becoming stronger could he shut up people like Wang Cheng and obtain more benefits for himself.
Xiao Chen poured the blood marrow into his palm and smeared it evenly on his upper body. His skin immediately felt a burning sensation.
After Xiao Chen smeared all the blood marrow on his body, he felt like the blood in his body was burning. His entire body surged, filled with boundless Vital Qi.
"I can't take it anymore. I have to quickly digest the energy in the blood marrow. Otherwise, I will burn to death."
A strong wind blew as Xiao Chen rushed into the Dao Academy. After he stood still, he immediately circulated his Vital Qi and executed a Fist Technique.
This Fist Technique looked very ordinary. It was the same Fist Technique that Xiao Chen had practiced since he was young in the Xiao Clan. There was nothing fancy about it.
However, in Xiao Chen's hands, it displayed a different kind of might. Fist winds roared, sounding like thunder, turning something ordinary into something miraculous.
Every time Xiao Chen punched, space trembled. The Savage Beast blood smeared on his body seeped into his blood at an even faster rate.
Thunderous sounds rang out continuously in the courtyard. A strong wind blew as Xiao Chen fought to his heart's content. All the blood in his body surged, and he could not help roaring in delight.
As the Golden Savage Ox's blood marrow seeped into Xiao Chen's body, a scarlet light appeared on his skin. It looked strangely beautiful under the sunlight.
"Rumble …!" As the blood in Xiao Chen's body flowed, surging energy erupted like a roaring river, surging endlessly.
The wind from Xiao Chen's fist seemed to be able to vaguely hear the roar of waves and the sound of gushing rivers. It was as if there really was a river falling from the nine heavens.
"Break!"
Suddenly, thousands of rivers gathered in his dantian. Xiao Chen felt like something in his body had exploded.
His physical body underwent a rebirth, undergoing a qualitative change. The acupoints on the soles of his feet burst open, opening three acupoints each.
Xiao Chen quickly circulated his Firmament Body Tempering Art. Indeed, he broke through the peak of the late stage of the sixth layer, officially reaching the seventh layer.
After Xiao Chen completely absorbed the Savage Beast blood, his bare skin gained a better texture. His bulging muscles were filled with explosive energy. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Xiao Chen clenched his right fist tightly and punched the air three times. A horrifying force exploded in the air, giving off three intense howls. When they merged, they formed a tornado.
Xiao Chen was filled with joy. He muttered, "Good! My pure strength has increased by one hundred and fifty tons of force, reaching one million and eight hundred tons of force. My total Vital Qi has also increased explosively. If I burn my Vital Qi and execute the Burning the Heavens, its might will be even more horrifying. "
However, after that, Xiao Chen felt somewhat melancholic. He clenched his right fist and pounded it against his left palm. He said, "Starting from the seventh layer, the Firmament Body Tempering Art will focus more on the recovery of the physical body. The Spirit Herbs required for this will all be astronomical."
The seventh level was mainly to train the five viscera and six bowels. It wasn't to make them stronger, but to give them a stronger recovery ability.
For example, if one's internal organs were injured, they would need half an hour to recover. After reaching Great Perfection of the seventh layer, one would be able to recover in ten minutes.
The internal organs each corresponded to a natural treasure. Tempering the heart required the Heart Nourishing Flower; tempering the liver and gallbladder required the Purple Sun Grass; and the spleen and stomach required the Red Lotus Fruit.
Every Spirit Herb was rare and hard to find. Even in high-ranked auctions, they would be hard to find. They could only be found in dangerous lands that were rarely visited by humans.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and said indifferently, "We will cross the bridge when we get there. For now, we should focus on preparing for the Savage Battlefield. Don't think too much about other things."
"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
Just at this moment, a deep, ancient bell tolled on an extremely desolate peak in the mountains surrounding Haotian City.
The sound of the bell came from far away. Everyone in Haotian City could hear it clearly. Compared to the sound of the bell, the words that came with it were even more shocking.
"The Haotian Sect's Xiao Chen is despicable and shameless. Forgetting righteousness at the sight of profit, plotting against his companions. You are a righteous sect's disciple in vain. Today, the Full Moon Pavilion's Qiu Yi is here to challenge you. If you are not a tortoise hiding in its shell, then scram out here! "
Qiu Yi purposely infused his Quintessence into the last three words, allowing them to linger for a long time. Everyone could feel the overwhelming hatred hidden in those words.
"It is a sect challenge. A disciple of the same sect rang the combat bell."
"Qiu Yi, a peak inner sect disciple of the Full Moon Pavilion. He is as famous as Yun Feiyu. He is somewhat famous in the eighteen southern provinces. How did Xiao Chen offend him?"
"Our Haotian Sect's Xiao Chen is not weak, either. He might not lose to this Qiu Yi."
"Right, in terms of Martial Techniques, he should be pretty good. However, he spent too little time in the Kunlun Realm. His accumulations are insufficient."
"Come, let's go to Giant Sword Peak to take a look. There will be a good show to watch. It has been a few years since someone rang the combat bell!"
The bell tolled melodiously, lingering in the sky above Haotian City. When all the disciples in the city heard Qiu Yi's mocking words, they stopped what they were doing and looked towards Giant Sword Peak.
Then, they all leaped up and flew towards Giant Sword Peak. Now, Xiao Chen was in the limelight in the inner sect. His deeds were widely spread.
He came from the Sky Dome Realm, which was ranked last. First, he defeated Gui Wu. Then, he defeated the Battle Realm's Situ Gang. Even when the five old experts of the inner sect worked together, they still lost to him.
