"Chen Zong, are you sure you want to forfeit?"
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded.
The other party's gaze was rather strange, but it was Chen Zong's choice to forfeit, so he did not say anything else.
What Chen Zong forfeited was the competition between the top three of each martial city's Battle of Heroes. If he could get into the top three again, he would be rewarded by the Seven Lights Martial Academy.
If it was under normal circumstances, Chen Zong would absolutely not give up, and he would surely strive for it with all his might. Even if he was unable to obtain the top three, he would be able to spar with the geniuses of the other Martial Cities and improve himself.
Unfortunately, his internal injuries had not healed yet, and his injuries had been aggravated by fighting. According to his self-healing speed, it would take him at least ten days. Even if he were to concoct medicine, it would still take him a few days. The competition was tomorrow morning, and it was too rushed. If he fought again, it would be disadvantageous to him. At best, it would worsen his injuries, and at worst, it would kill him.
Chen Zong had to make a choice that was better for his future.
Since he had made his choice, Chen Zong did not dwell on the matter.
"Sister Yun will definitely choose the Bright Sword Hall to practice the sword. I wonder where she lives?" Chen Zong pondered. He wanted to find Chen Chuyun, but he did not know where to start. He might as well go out and ask. Maybe someone would know.
Just as he opened the door and took a step out, he saw two figures walking towards him.
"Bai Yulou …" Chen Zong recognized one of them. It was the person who had tried to snatch the middle rank courtyard with him not long ago and had turned around to threaten him. The other person walked side by side with Bai Yulou with a cold smile on his face.
Bai Yulou was at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Six, and the other person was at Qi and Blood Realm Level Seven.
"I've already said that there are many members of the Bai Family here." Bai Yulou walked in front of Chen Zong with a cold expression. "Now, kneel and kowtow to me, and transfer this small courtyard to my name, and I'll spare you. If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me. Maybe I'll take care of you when I'm in a good mood."
"Just don't bother me," Chen Zong said lightly.
"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Third Young Master, this kind of person should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, he won't know the immensity of heaven and earth." The person at the side laughed coldly and strode towards Chen Zong.
"I don't want to fight." Chen Zong frowned slightly and told the truth.
"You're just at the fifth level of the Qi and Blood realm. You don't even have the chance to attack me." The man sneered and took a step forward. Like an arrow leaving the bow, he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched Chen Zong's abdomen.
His fist shot out like the wind, bringing with it a sharp aura and extraordinary strength.
Chen Zong's body seemed to be blown away by the wind. He stepped back, causing his opponent's punch to miss.
"Your reaction is quite fast. Then, what about this sword …" As soon as he finished speaking, he unsheathed his sword. The sound of the sword was ear-piercing, and the sword light was cold. It was like a crescent moon piercing through the air.
Before Chen Zong could react, he changed it into a stab. It pierced through the air, and a dot of cold light fell like a falling star.
This sword was too fast.
Chen Zong stepped back and drew his sword.
The sword light pierced through the air, and the sound of the sword was melodious. First, the sword light danced, then a dot of cold light pierced through and stabbed at his opponent.
His opponent's wrist shook, and his sword trembled. He actually stabbed at the tip of Chen Zong's sword. The two swords collided, and a terrifying force washed over them. Both swords bent at the same time. His opponent laughed and shook his arm. His sword trembled and straightened in an instant. A terrifying force exploded and hit Chen Zong's sword directly.
Chen Zong stepped back to deflect the force, but the difference in cultivation was too great. The difference in strength was too obvious. His internal injuries were affected again, and he was in excruciating pain. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale.
"What a piece of trash. This kind of person dares to compete with me for the middle class courtyard." Bai Yulou was stunned at first, and then his face was full of disdain.
Bai Yan, who was at the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm, was also a little surprised. The force of the sword just now was not weak, but his opponent should not have vomited blood. Could it be that he was injured?
But what did it have to do with him?
"Come again, and you'll be responsible for your own life." Chen Zong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes turned cold, and his aura was concealed. If his opponent attacked again, he would use the Heaven Light and Cloud Shadow Sword. He would not hesitate even if it meant killing his opponent.
The rules of the Seven Lights Martial Academy clearly stated that academy disciples were not allowed to kill each other. Those who violated the rules would be punished. A light punishment would be expulsion, and a heavy punishment would be death.
But at this moment, Chen Zong had no other choice.
He let go of all his scruples and became resolute. A trace of killing intent condensed, and his eyes were cold and sharp like the edge of a sword.
Bai Yan was slightly stunned, and a trace of seriousness flashed across his eyes.
He actually felt a trace of danger from his opponent, as if he could hurt or even kill him.
"He's only at the fifth level of the Qi and Blood realm. Is it possible?" Bai Yan asked himself in return. The answer was no. He suddenly remembered that being able to enter the Seven Lights Martial Academy with a fifth level of the Qi and Blood realm proved that he was extraordinary. But no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for a fifth level of the Qi and Blood realm to fight against a seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm.
So what was this feeling of danger?
Bai Yan did not dare to act rashly. His eyes were fixed on Chen Zong, and his Qi and Blood energy circulated endlessly.
His body was in constant pain, and the longer this state was maintained, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. But Chen Zong could only endure.
"Bai Yan, why aren't you attacking?" Bai Yulou frowned.
"Bai Yan, how dare you bully my brother. How dare you." A cold voice came like a cold wind, causing Bai Yan's scalp to go numb.
He did not need to turn his head to know who had come. His body could not help but tremble slightly.
"Sister Yun." Chen Zong turned to look at her with a smile.
"Brother Zong, you're injured?" Chen Chuyun frowned, and anger filled his eyes. His footsteps suddenly sped up, as if he was riding the wind and treading on the moon. He unsheathed his sword, and the sword light rippled like water. A trace of sharpness pierced through the air and stabbed towards Bai Yan as swift as the wind.
"Chen Chuyun, his injury has nothing to do with me." Bai Yan's expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated. He waved his sword in an airtight manner, but it was directly shot down. The sword light shattered like glass, and the sword stopped at Bai Yan's neck. The chilling edge of the sword gave Bai Yan goosebumps, and his hair stood on end. He was terrified.
"Before I came, he was already injured. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Bai Yan looked at Chen Chu Yun's cold face and icy eyes and couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly explained.
Chen Chuyun looked at Chen Zong, and a trace of gentleness flashed in her eyes.
"Sister Yun, my injury has nothing to do with him." Chen Zong said calmly.
"Get lost." Chen Chuyun sheathed his sword and said coldly.
Bai Yan did not dare to say anything. He hurriedly ran to Bai Yulou, and said, "Third Young Master, let's leave here first."
Although Bai Yulou was angry, he knew that the situation in front of him was not something he could handle. He left with Bai Yan.
"Who is she?" Bai Yulou asked coldly as he left.
"Her name is Chen Chuyun. She entered the academy last year from the Chen family of Martial Wind City. She's a sword genius." Bai Yan answered truthfully.
"She's just a martial artist from a small family in Martial City. How talented can she be? Can she be compared to my cousin Yushan?" Bai Yulou's expression turned even colder.
"In terms of cultivation, Chen Chuyun is indeed inferior to Young Master Yushan. However, in terms of swordsmanship, he is not inferior to Young Master Yushan at all. Moreover, his swordsmanship is ruthless and merciless. He once killed thirteen Blood Qi realm Level Eight bandits in a row. His swordsmanship is extremely terrifying and is known as the Rakshasa Sword. In the Glorious Sword Clan, he can be said to be the number one Blood Qi realm Level Eight practitioner. He can even fight with a Blood Qi realm Level Nine practitioner without losing."
"Trash." Bai Yulou looked at Bai Yan coldly. "No matter how strong she is, can she be stronger than Cousin Yushan?"
"That can't be. Young Master Yushan is at Blood Qi Realm Level Nine, and he is the Eldest Senior Brother of the Illuminating Sword Clan." Bai Yan immediately said, "However, Young Master Yushan is not in the Clan."
…
"Little Brother Zong, are your injuries serious?" Chen Chuyun's disciple sized up Chen Zong. Her cold and gentle gaze fell upon Chen Zong's pale face as she asked with concern.
"It's an internal injury. I'm afraid it will take more than ten days to heal." Chen Zong answered truthfully. Chen Chuyun was both a sword instructor and an elder sister. Chen Zong was very close to her.
"How did you get injured?" Chen Chuyun frowned slightly. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes.
Chen Zong briefly explained the matter and his guess.
"The Drizzle Gang should be killed." Chen Chuyun spoke. Chen Zong noticed that compared to before, Sister Yun's killing intent seemed to be much stronger. Her aura was colder.
"Sister Yun, let me handle the Drizzle Gang myself." Chen Zong said.
"Alright." Chen Chuyun nodded. She reached into her pocket and took out a small porcelain bottle. She opened it and poured out a white pill. There were circles of green patterns on the surface of the pill. Its fragrance assailed the nostrils. "This is a Grass Return Pill. It has a miraculous effect on internal injuries. Take it and your internal injuries will be healed in three days."
In fact, there were pills that were even more effective than the Grass Return Pill. They could even heal internal injuries in a few hours. However, the price of those pills was extremely high. It started at one hundred thousand White Jade Coins.
Even the Grass Return Pill would cost tens of thousands of White Jade Coins to buy.
Since it was given by Sister Yun, there was no need for Chen Zong to be courteous. After accepting it, he immediately consumed it. The Cao Huan Pill dissolved and a cooling sensation quickly spread through his body, flowing towards his internal injuries to envelop them. It was as though an invisible hand was kneading his internal injuries with great skill, giving Chen Zong a sense of comfort.
"I thought you would only come to Seven Lights Martial Academy after two years. I didn't expect you to come after just one year." Seeing Chen Zong consume the Grass Return Pill, Chen Chuyun let out a sigh of relief.
"I found out that my strength is enough to enter the top hundred of the Battle of Heroes, so I decided to come." Chen Zong smiled.
"You were right to come early." Chen Chuyun nodded. "There are more geniuses in Seven Lights Martial Academy. The competition is greater and the cultivation environment is better. When I came here a year ago, I was at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Stage Six. Now that a year has passed, my cultivation has reached Qi and Blood Realm Stage Eight. If I had stayed in Martial Wind City, I'm afraid it would have taken me two years or even longer."
"To be able to enter the top 100 of the Martial Wind City's Battle of Heroes with a cultivation of Qi and Blood Realm Level Five, I'm sure your swordsmanship isn't weak. Let's spar again after your internal injuries have healed. Let me see," Chen Chu Yun said.
"Alright." Chen Zong also wanted to know to what extent Sister Yun's sword skills had reached.
The siblings sat down at a stone table in the corner of the courtyard and chatted casually. When Chen Chuyun found out that Chen Zong was actually the champion of Martial Wind City's Battle of Heroes, she was very surprised. When she found out that Chen Zong had to give up on the top three of each martial city due to his internal injuries, she also felt a little regretful.
