The waterfall around Xiao Chen flowed backwards momentarily. After that, as if it had become static, spiritual energy gathered from everywhere and concentrated in the waves. It blended together with the mist and formed a dense holy radiance.

Breaking away from the wave, Xiao Chen leapt over to the mountain woods. These eleven days, he had much accomplishment. Not only his spiritual sense, even his body had become much stronger and was heading one step further towards the legendary treasure body. He felt that he was getting closer to the peak of Exuvia Ninth Celestial Layer!

That’s right, despite how his body and spirit were even more powerful than before, he still didn’t breakthrough the Ninth Celestial Layer. The rumored “great plains of the realm” was already blocking his path. It was very hard to make a breakthrough

The five major realms, Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis had nine Celestial Layers respectively. Advancing one Celestial Layer within a certain major realm was like climbing from a shorter mountain to a much taller one. Although it was very hard, it was not impossible to climb. Every time they make a breakthrough, they could feel their power increasing rapidly.

However, rising from one major realm to another was very challenging. The difficulty of rising from an ordinary practitioner to Exuvia was unimaginable. Rising from Exuvia to Historia was just as such.

Although Xiao Chen was already at the Exuvia Ninth Celestial Layer, and seemed to be just one step away from Historia, it was not as simple as climbing over a tall mountain anymore.

Right now he had to cross over a “mountain” that was as tall as all nine Celestial Layers combined before he could genuinely break into the Historia realm. From climbing over a mountain to crossing over a big field just as high, it was easy to imagine how far was the road ahead. The big field could be understood as a “huge mountain”, or maybe it could be said to be a lot of “mountains”.

The Ninth Celestial Layer of every major realm was like this. It was a very challenging hurdle.

If it were other people, they might not be able to break through this major realm even with a long time of training. They might end up dispirited and disappointed. However, Xiao Chen’s spiritual sense was very sharp. Although he was unable to break through to the Historia realm, he could clearly feel that his power was forging ahead vigorously. That was purely from the body and spirit. He was no longer placing particular emphasis on strength.

Not only did he not become dispirited, it made him even more happy. What could be a more joyous occasion than the evolution of one’s body and spirit? This was the road one must follow in the course of evolution. Only by accumulating enough capacity to arouse the body’s hidden potential would one be able to really break through to the Historia realm.

A Ninth Celestial Layer expert that continuously rose to a higher level even after reaching the peak, this was enough to make him stand at the top among the young experts of the south. Moreover, he was one of the very few fine woods found at the summit! ⌈¹⌋

After resting for a little in the desolate forest, Xiao Chen found Keke — who was soundly asleep while holding a big stack of spiritual items in its arms — several hours later. It must be mentioned that this snow-white little critter was really too intelligent. No treasures could ever escape from its discerning eyes. This entire south desolate region was practically a gold mine as far as Keke was concerned.

This was a scene that would even make the Gods jealous. The colorful light flickered unceasingly. Keke was almost buried by those mouth watering Amethyst Ginseng Kings, Rainbow Zoysias, and Gold Orchid Fruits. The fragrance was very refreshing. In the middle, Keke was soundly asleep like a child.

Soon after, Xiao Chen spent another few hours to find Tenax, who was riddled with scars. To make a Ninth Celestial Layer Dragon King sustain such injuries, it was easy to imagine how intense was the battle.

However, Xiao Chen was still feeling at ease. He knew that there were no tyrannical monsters that could kill Tenax in this mountain range. Zhuge Liang had given him the map of the desolate region around Celestial City. A lot of forbidden areas were marked with a red cross.

This was the training program drew up by the fatty Zhuge Liang for Tenax. It was all about desperate struggles in the wild, and was not only limited to the battles in the warbeast castles. It must be mentioned that this fatty really had good taste for the warbeasts, and was also very knowledgeable. He knew how to bring out their hidden potential with the most effective methods.

Zhuge fatty felt that Tenax was not the same as the common warbeasts, and only this method could really help it evolve unceasingly.

After resting for a day, Xiao Chen took Keke and Tenax along as they flew back to Celestial City ⌈²⌋. The house had been rummaged, it was obvious that people had paid a visit while he was gone. Xiao Chen felt that it was most likely Hofmann and Zhuge Kun.

That’s right, it was exactly the doing of their henchmen. Those two scums of society almost choked to death these past ten days. They had power but were unable to exert it. It was not easy to find a few senior cousins in the family to help them, and yet, they found that Xiao Chen had disappeared.

Xiao Chen paid it no mind as he openly left home with Keke and Tenax. However, he found that something seemed to have happened in the Celestial City, the number of practitioners decreased by a lot. Even if he wanted to put Hofmann and Zhuge Kun in order, it was impossible. They had also disappeared without a trace.

After asking around, he found that a shocking news had arrived from the depths of the south. Someone had discovered the traces of a divine temple. And there were actually two young sacred beasts roaming around at that place.

In such a big south desolate region, only two or three sacred beasts could be found in every ten years. However, two of them suddenly appeared all at once this time. And they were the most precious young sacred beasts that could be raised with ease. This was definitely a shocking news. In addition to the traces of the divine temple, it was even more shocking.

The young sacred beasts roaming around the vicinity of the divine temple, how could they even be compared with the common sacred beasts? Their ancestry might be related to the deities, or perhaps they might be the deities themselves.

The so-called ancient deities were not necessarily referring to the human deities only. As long as one was powerful enough to make the immortals tremble in fear, not only the rare sacred beast with noble blood, even the plants could also be addressed as such.

If that was the case, then the two young sacred beasts were definitely the strongest among the sacred beasts.

According to legends, there were several types of sacred beasts capable to be claimed as the equal of the dragons! At that time, Buddhist Yizhen once thought that Keke was the cub of one of those few races.

If those two young sacred beasts were really from such a race. If they could subdue these young sacred beasts, then their future would be unimaginable.

The strongest race. Just thinking about it made one’s blood race.

A great number of major powers in the south had make their move. Some older generation experts couldn’t sit around any longer. Many of the younger generations accompanied the experts in their clan and forged ahead.

A lot of experts that originally came from foreign lands for the warbeast tournament also made their way to the depths of the south in succession.

Without a doubt, a lot of people would lose their life because of this. Maybe entire barren hills might be encroached by the thin blood. One must know that when the Ancestral Dragon Ship returned at that time, a bloody battle that lasted for a few months broke out. The sandy shore was dyed red by the thin blood. When Xiao Chen returned a few months later, there were still people fighting fiercely at the coast.

The dragon island had a god sealing power, so the older generation experts didn’t dare to go ashore personally. However, the divine temple in the south did not have such restrictions. It caused numerous experts to go and provide assistance in the first moments.

Of course, it could even attract the attention of a few old farts. The remnants of the divine temple was the main reason. Perhaps they might find some shocking discoveries from the remnants.

“Let’s go, we should also go join in on the fun. We will only follow at the rear to watch the show. We won’t be participating.” ⌈³⌋

Almost all the youth generation in Celestial City had rushed over there, how could Xiao Chen not go? He believed that a lot of interesting things would definitely happen.

Target, the depths of the south!

There was no need to ask for directions. Distinctive traces were left behind on the road towards that direction.

The south desolate region spanned over thousands of miles. Millions of mountains, and thick jungles covered the entire region. The ancient trees covered the sky, the cries of the apes and the roars of the tigers rang out unceasingly. All kinds of monsters were roaming about. There were a lot of exotic primal beasts.

Xiao Chen walked in the primitive mountain range with a leisure pace. He did not unfold the Undying Divine Wings at first. Because, he didn’t have the intention to fight over those two young sacred beasts that might very well be the later generations of the “deities”. Doing that was tantamount to throwing his life away!

The Dragon King War, that was a bloody battle that lasted for a few months. Only until all parties had acknowledged who they ultimately belonged to did they settle the dispute. It was definitely not a simple matter to decide who these two young sacred beasts belonged to. At the very least, a few major powers in the south would send their people to fight over them. With Xiao Chen’s current strength, he was practically unable to shake them up.

The journey went very smoothly. He didn’t run into any danger on the way. Xiao Chen was flying sometimes and walking in the mountain woods other times. He arrived at the depths of the south desolate region a few days later.

Of course, the so-called “depths” was only figurative. It was merely two thousand miles away from the Celestial City. It was impossible to really enter that fabled forbidden area. Nobody dared to really enter the deepest part of the south!

The ancient trees reached high into the sky. Each tree was about three hundred meters tall. There were even vines as thick as a water jar. One vine was enough to wrap around half of a hill. It was a really primitive forest. It was usually impossible to find the traces of anyone at this place before.

The remnants of the divine temple revealed themselves!

A huge broken stone inscription was standing in the desolate forest. A few ancient characters were carved on the surface. Each stroke seemed to have crossed the space-time continuum and arrived at present. That was the breath settled after the vicissitudes of time.

It was a shame that Xiao Chen couldn’t recognize those few characters at all. But he could be sure that the characters on the black chains that locked up the white-shelled tortoise were from the same era. The calligraphic style was practically the same. It was the sacred writing of the distant past.

After arriving at this region, he could clearly detect a few human figures swaying in the primitive forest from time to time. It indicated that he was getting close to the destination.

After passing through a few more mountains, Xiao Chen arrived at the destination.

The scene in front made him very shocked. There was an island floating in the air. Although it was only about five to six kilometer square, it was suspended on top of the primitive mountain range. It appeared very inconceivable.

The ash-brown island was just like a piece of huge meteorite. There was no breath of life on the island at all. It was only a little more than a hundred meters tall. It was far from being as tall as the mountain range in the vicinity.

Xiao Chen soared into the sky and overlooked that floating isle not far away. Not a speck of greenery could be seen on the isle. There was only a solitary ruin. That should be an imposing palace a really long time ago. It should be the residence of the deities during that time, the so-called divine island.

It was hard to imagine how it could still remain floating in the sky after endless years had passed.

Below the divine island was also a ruin. It had clearly been rummaged by people before, but not a single shadow could be seen at this moment. Everyone had went after the two young sacred beasts.

Xiao Chen descended from the sky. He brought Keke and Tenax to the ruins on the ground.

The broken debris, the pieces of monoliths, everything clearly indicated that magnificent buildings once stood at this place.

Who knew if those people had any harvest, if they had found something from these ruins. Xiao Chen did not worry about personal gains and losses as he slowly walked around.

Suddenly, he shuddered!

He felt a bone-chilling fear!

An exceptionally terrifying aura shrouded Xiao Chen in a flash!

All of these was so sudden. It happened in the twinkling of an eye.

A gale blew up all the debris on the ground. A terrifying black tornado appeared in the vicinity of the ruins and rushed over at astonishing speed.

Xiao Chen was very shocked. That black gale was really too fast and rushed over all of a sudden. He immediately raised his power to the limit, but without waiting for him to make his move, he could already hear Keke’s angry cry, as well as Tenax’s roar.

The black gale that carried the debris and fragments of the forest trees actually blown Keke and Tenax away. It blew past Xiao Chen and didn’t hit him. Its target was only the two little beasts.

In that instant, Xiao Chen could only see a huge beastly figure in the black gale, as well as the black scales that glittered like frost and snow. He wasn’t able to make out anything else.

He was extremely shocked. That seemed to be a very terrifying beast. Xiao Chen immediately unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and chased after it.

Out of his expectation, the black gale was too frantic and quick. It destroyed everything in its path and actually broke away from the ground. After that, with a speed that couldn’t be seen with naked eyes, it charged into a distant location, then it changed directions and completely disappeared. ⌈⁴⌋

It was too fast! Xiao Chen was unable to catch up even after unfolding the Undying Divine Wings. Moreover, he had no idea where did that black gale disappear to.

Damn it! Xiao Chen was extremely furious. They actually took Keke and Tenax away. Just who or what was that?

After unfolding the Undying Divine Wings, Xiao Chen raised his speed to the limit. He flew past one mountain range after another, wanting to search for traces of the black gale.

However, he was disappointed. He couldn’t find any traces at all.

They actually snatched Keke and Tenax away. This made Xiao Chen extremely furious. When he recalled that vague glimpse, he slowly calmed down. That huge beastly figure and glittering black scales indicated that it was not done by a human! This… he thought about many, many things. This matter might be very complicated.

The south desolate region, god knew just how many secrets were hidden in the millions and millions of mountain range. Endless amounts of fairy tales spread out from here. It left behind many beautiful and terrifying tales for the later generations.

At present, the top three youth experts of the south had ended their training as if agreed by chance. They made their way back by going towards three different directions respectively. Their target, the Celestial City!

From the north came Wuxing Feng. There was even a grapevine saying that another two of the most powerful experts from the north had come to Celestial City in succession. Their goal was to fight with the strongest of the youth generation from the south.

The reason they gathered in Celestial City was precisely because of Windfeathers, Dugu Jianmo, as well as that handsome blue-haired man.

The warbeast tournament getting closer was also tantamount to the showdown between the strongest of the youth generation getting closer. Excluding the south and the north, there might be even more outstanding youths appearing from every corner of the vast mainland.

Without a doubt, Celestial City would be enveloped by a hurricane. The warbeast tournament might very well develop into a tournament between the practitioners.

It was natural for humans to make war and the warbeast tournament was started by humans.

The youth generation was the most energetic generation. Their confrontation would attract a lot of attention. Some young warrior’s life would be as beautiful as the shooting star, but only for a brief moment. While other young warriors’ would inevitably be as long-lasting and as bright as the stars. None could stop their rise and fall. The victor now could end up being the strongest in this land a few dozen years later. They might be able to obtain some clues on who to watch out for.

Fairsky had already left. Leaving Xiao Chen thinking by himself for a very long time. The news leaked out by Fairsky were very unexpected to him. He already decided to use this as a “cover up” and let them misunderstand as they wished. Maybe he should take more initiative to mislead them. It was very important to have this kind of identity!

Although the layout of the residence was not big, the arrangement of the gardens was very delightful. Xiao Chen was taking a walk. He passed through a few pavilions in the central courtyard, passed through a wisteria tree tunnel ⌈¹⌋, and walked over a marble bridge. Clear water gushed out from the mouths of a few stone beast sculptures and flowed into the pond below the bridge.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen widened his eyes. He was surprised to see that white-shelled tortoise who had run away.

Under the arch of the marble bridge, the white-shelled tortoise was happily chasing after a shoal of goldfish.

What made Xiao Chen most surprised was that, the fist-sized little tortoise’s movements were not like that of a tortoise at all. It was more like that of a spirit wearing a tortoise shell. Its movements were very agile and natural.

“This…”

What made Xiao Chen even more stupefied was that, it was actually doing a backstroke on the pond. All four of its limbs were very agile. It did not appear the slightest bit clumsy at all.

“Is this… really a tortoise?” Xiao Chen couldn’t seem to believe his own eyes. This sneaky little tortoise was really too strange! He unconsciously revealed a smile after staring fixedly at it for quite a few minutes.

Xiao Chen was gobsmacked when he tried to fish it up. The white-shelled little tortoise disappeared like a flash of lightning. Just a slight movement and it scuttled across the field. Its speed was truly unimaginable. Keke and Tenax tried to catch it several times, but ended in failure. It could practically be described as “coming and going without a trace”.

Moreover, what made Xiao Chen more shocked was that, the black divine chains were no longer locking it up. It already came off from the tortoise shell and was left on a water-lily on the pond.

The white-shelled little tortoise was looking at Xiao Chen sneakily. It seemed to be smiling. That’s right, it was smiling! It did not seem nervous nor scared at all!

“How did this happen? What is going on?”

Only after the three skeletons appeared and gesticulate unceasingly did Xiao Chen finally understood what was going on. When Tenax was seriously hurt last time, the white-shelled tortoise drank a lot of Tenax’s blood. After that, it sneaked away and by the time it appeared again, those chains already came off.

Xiao Chen was very shocked. After thinking for a little bit, he asked the easy-going white-shelled little tortoise, who was on the stone bridge, as if he was talking to someone, “Larcenist, you are already free. Why did you come back?”

Although Xiao Chen looked calm on the surface, his heart was in a turmoil. After all, according to his speculation, this might be a sealed dragon! At present, it had already been liberated, but it didn’t regain its original form. So he was not worried that it would possess any unreasonable destructive power.

With a flash, it seemed as if the fist-sized little tortoise had cut through the empty space and appeared in front of him. After that, it sneakily carved three ancient characters on the slab.

This made Keke’s big eyes turn perfectly round. After that, it used its hairy little beast paws to rub its glittering big eyes. Tenax also revealed the same shocked expression.

They were flabbergasted! Looking at the strokes of the ancient characters, it had a striking resemblance to the sacred writings of the distant past. Xiao Chen only recognized that “dragon” character that had never changed since ancient times.

After analyzing it for a really long time, Xiao Chen read it aloud with shock, “I… am… dragon!” ⌈²⌋

“You…”

When Xiao Chen doubtfully guessed the other two characters, he immediately revealed an unfathomable expression. Although his mental state was substantially different than the olden days and had been upgraded by a lot, he still couldn’t help but be shocked.

His original speculation had been confirmed!

With a flash, the white-shelled tortoise left an afterimage on the little bridge ⌈³⌋ and disappeared.

Early the next morning, someone came to pay a visit. It was a grey-haired old man with childish face. It was hard to speculate his age. He might only be fifty to sixty years old, but looking carefully, he looked like he was more than a hundred years old. Although he was an old man, his deep blue pupils were like that of the ocean.

This old man was very extraordinary. This was Xiao Chen’s first impression. He guessed that he might be the clan leader or elder of some major power. And that he most likely came because of Xiao Chen’s identity.

After hearing the old man’s purpose in coming, Xiao Chen found that he guessed wrongly. The old man did not come for him, but rather the three skeletons, Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang and Lunhui Wang.

“I am a Psychic ⌈³⌋ proficient with the Law of Life, I want to communicate with the three skeletons frequently…”

This old man was very friendly and tactfully stated his intention. Although he said that he wanted to communicate with the three skeletons, Xiao Chen could feel that he wanted to accept them as apprentices. It seemed like he was in love with them. That’s right, he was in love! That expression was undisguised. ⌈⁴⌋

Xiao Chen was very shocked, how… did this old man fall for the three skeletons?

The spiritual light flickered. The old man was actually able to communicate with the three skeletons via spiritual link!

The result was as expected, the three skeletons wanted to go train with the old man.

“You don’t need to worry, if you want to see them, you can go to the North Style Academy just across the street at any time. I will be at the depths of the academy.” The old man wore a smile and said, “Their souls are very powerful. When I was training by myself quietly in the late nights these days, I could always feel their energy fluctuations. I was only able to find them at this place due to curiosity.”

After listening to the old man’s brief explanation, Xiao Chen could more or less understand what was going on. It was impossible for him to block his path, this was a good thing. According to the old man, the three skeletons might reborn one day in the future. This was an opportunity!

When the old man left with the three skeletons, the ******* Zhuge Liang arrived with a smile across his entire face. He looked at the rear figure of the old man and muttered, “Brother Xiao, who is that old man? Why does he look like a portrait in my house.”

Soon after, the handsome Fairsky also arrived.

After they heard Xiao Chen talk about that old man, the fatty almost fell head first.

“That elder is still alive?! This… is definitely him, the person in the portrait my family owns.” The fatty had a very positive tone.

“Just who is that old man?” Xiao Chen’s interest was hooked by him.

“I only know he dwells in the North Style Academy. A Psychic who studied the law of life intensively. He had once saved my great great great great grandfather’s life.” ⌈⁵⌋

Fairsky’s head was already spinning. His great great great great grandfather, just how old was that person?!

While Xiao Chen felt that this was very unexpected, he was glad that the three skeletons had followed the right person.

“Xiao Chen, you better be cautious.”

This was Fairsky and Zhuge Liang’s advice for Xiao Chen. Although Hofmann and Zhuge Kun were reprimanded by their fathers, that they were not allowed to stir up any more trouble before they could ascertain Xiao Chen’s identity, but how could these two dregs of society listen and obey? They wanted to take care of Xiao Chen after secretly gathering the henchmen.

After that, the two of them left.

Soon after, Xiao Chen took Keke and Tenax along as he flew towards a mountain range outside of the Celestial City. He wanted to continue training. He intended to take care of the scums after he got back.

This decision almost made Hofmann and Zhuge Kun choke themselves to death! They set up everything with great difficulty, but couldn’t find the person in question. It was just like when one had clenched their fist tightly, ready to launch at any time, but only to end up hitting the air.

They had power but were unable to exert it. In the next few days, Hofmann and Zhuge Kun were so depressed that they almost coughed out blood. They felt too dejected.

In the barren mountain woods, Xiao Chen left Keke and Tenax alone as he charged into the primitive mountain range. He was sitting quietly under a huge waterfall. He bared his chest and let the torrential current that fell from the three thousand feet precipice to pound against his body.

The three thousand feet tall waterfall, in front of the overhang, the white torrential current was surging forward like a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses. It was deafening. With such a height, the downward force was unimaginable, but Xiao Chen was sitting there like an immovable boulder. The huge waterfall was hammering his body like a huge hammer. His body was flickering with a crystal clear brilliance.

For ten days straight, he remained motionless!

Xiao Chen was not merely training his body, he was also training his mind. He remained at peace with himself under the deafening sound of the waterfall. His spiritual sense was condensing and rising to a higher level.

On the eleventh day, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. They were as sharp as the edge of a sword. His body flickered with a glorious radiance. With a clear whistle, his long black hair fluttered hysterically and the huge waterfall actually flowed backwards in that instant!

---

---

　

---

---

The sound of shrieks, the sound of cursing… It was a piece of chaos!

Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and quickly chased after the girls. When he found that his clothes were with Katalina and Fairsnow, he immediately made his move.

Two hazy radiances transformed into huge dragon claws that tried to grab their waists. Katalina was extremely angry, she waved her hand to produce a pink radiance. Fairsnow also produced a green-qi. The two girls only wanted to run away from that place. But they were totally oblivious to the fact that the clothes in their hands were the reason why Xiao Chen was chasing them.

With a few brittle noises, two hazy radiances successfully engulfed the beautiful Fairsnow and the youthful Katalina as he pulled them back.

“Let go! Don’t come near me!”

“Give me back my clothes!”

Xiao Chen caught the two girls, but their postures were a little indecent. The materialized dragon claws bound their little waists tightly. Although the claws hadn’t really touched them, it was already more than enough to make the two girls flush with anger and fuming with rage.

“Xiao Chen, I’m going to kill you!” Katalina kept struggling. Her snow-white bathrobe drooped down and exposed her supple chest. That beautiful arc was really enticing.

“It’s completely exposed.” Xiao Chen said casually and extended one of his hand to fix her bathrobe very seriously. Then he said, “Very… ‘satisfying’.”

“You…” The blue-haired Katalina immediately fainted.

“Young lady, can you please return my clothes?” Xiao Chen exposed his snow-white teeth to Fairsnow and smiled brightly.

The beauties of the south fighting over his clothes. It smelled fishy no matter which angle they looked at it.

Fairsnow had a slender body with graceful curves. She was busty and extremely beautiful. Her height was only a little shorter than Xiao Chen. Her graceful bearing was many times more elegant than other beauties, it could even be said that she was extremely beautiful. She was a genuine beauty.

Her dripping wet long hair emitted a sweet fragrance. Her snow-white skin was as smooth as the baby’s skin. It felt as if there were fogs winding around in her misty eyes. Below her delicate nose, her bright red lips appeared incomparably sexy. She lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth and spoke to Xiao Chen softly, “Quickly let go of me.” She was trying to remain as calm as possible.

She had already tossed Xiao Chen’s clothes on the ground. She was really scared of this daring man in front of her, but even under this kind of circumstances, she was still calm and collected. She didn’t cause too much of a disturbance.

Before Xiao Chen could let go of her, Fairsky’s excited voice resounded from the VIP area two, “Xiao Chen, I came to watch how you collect the booty…”

His voice was awfully urgent. Fairsky seemed to be rushing over at astonishing speed. However, the sound came to an end spontaneously. After that, a flustered and exasperated yell was transmitted, “Xiao Chen, I’m going to kill you! You actually dare to defile my sister!”

Fairsky already passed through the flowers and trees. He rushed over with lightning speed.

If it was any other people, this misunderstanding definitely couldn’t be cleared, but Xiao Chen was very calm. He removed the materialized dragon claw and took a step forward to support Fairsnow. Then he said, “Careful, watch your steps.”

Fairsky was extremely angry and shouted loudly, “Xiao Chen, you…”

“You, what you? Don’t jump to conclusions. It’s not what you think it is. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your sister.”

After Fairsnow was freed, she immediately told Fairsky, “There’s nothing going on between us, I will take my leave first.” Even if there was something, she wouldn’t be able to say it out loud. Moreover, there was really nothing to begin with.

Seeing that both of them were so calm, Fairsky looked at this and that doubtfully. Only until Fairsnow’s figure was gone did he regain himself. He fiercely faced Xiao Chen and said, “I definitely was not mistaken, you were trying to defile my sister. Xiao Chen, I warn you. We may be acquainted, but if you dare to touch my sister, I will kill you!”

“That sounds like a challenge. If I have nothing better to do, I might as well go give it a try.”

“You dare!” Speaking until here, Fairsky looked at Xiao Chen with shock. Then he said, “What are you doing?”

Right now, Xiao Chen was skillfully spreading a piece of paper and ink on the ground. Then he grabbed the fainted Katalina’s little hand, smeared her thumb with ink, and left her thumbprint on a piece of white paper.

“It’s nothing important. She owes me money. I just made her leave behind a contract.”

Fairsky was dumbstruck.

Far behind, Zhuge Kun and Hofmann were stupefied. This f—— Xiao Chen was really too arrogant. He wouldn’t even let a beautiful lady go. This was what they called “to not discriminate between gender” ⌈¹⌋! He actually dared to treat the Mander Family’s baby girl like this. And what made them the most speechless was that, Xiao Chen grabbed Katalina’s lily-white hand and did not smear just one piece of paper. He smeared one piece after another. There were at least eight or nine sheets of papers.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing left to do.” Xiao Chen did not think that he was going over the top. After he completed all of these tasks skillfully, he put on his clothes and left together with Keke and Tenax. Fairsky followed after him closely.

A lot of people in the Paradise Spa were rushing over to this place. Xiao Chen nimbly dodged everyone and left the building.

On the way back. After Fairsky had heard the series of events, he had the urge to cough out blood.

“Xiao Chen, you… aren’t you a little too violent? This… play, you cannot play like this. Are you not scared that you might provoke the old farts in the Zhuge Family or the Reagan Family?”

When Fairsky heard Xiao Chen’s explanation. He had this unfathomable expression and said, “You… Just who did you hear that from?! The older generation figures will not make their move, but there’s a limit. The prerequisite is that you must not be too excessive. I am really speechless… I advise you to hurry and pack up. Otherwise you are going to be screwed!”

“Since we are friends, I will help you this once. I will find someone to negotiate for you.” After he finished speaking, Fairsky left.

However, Fairsky quickly returned to Xiao Chen’s residence. He made a racket as soon as he arrived, “Xiao Chen… you are too ungrateful!”

“What’s wrong? I didn’t do anything to your sister. I didn’t use that much power to grab her. When I supported her waist, I also did it lightly……”

“Xiao Chen, I will kill you! Where did you grab my sister? Why did you hold her waist?!” The beautiful Fairsky immediately became anxious.

Xiao Chen felt a little speechless. It seemed like there was no need for an explanation. This guy didn’t seem to come and condemn him of the matter regarding his sister. It seemed like a cover up would only make matters worse.

Only until a long time later did Fairsky calm down.

And only at this time did Xiao Chen find out from Fairsky that he had been misunderstood by some people. They actually thought that he had an extraordinary status.

“You came from the depths of the south?!” Fairsky said resentfully, “You are too ungrateful. We have been friends for so long, and you actually did not tell me your real identity.”

Speaking until here, Fairsky lowered his voice and spoke discreetly, “Since you are from that most terrifying place, then Tenax should be a Dragon King right? It must be their later generations!’

Xiao Chen quickly digested these informations. He more or less understood his “identity” by now. He muttered under his breath, “That’s right, I come from the depths of the South. This is my current position, and in the future too…”

During the time Xiao Chen was muttering to himself. It was as if a tsunami had taken place at the south sea.

A big and tall youth, with a sword in his hand, was beating himself against the raging waves with a slash of his sword. The rubble floated up, and the giant waves roared with the explosion of a terrifying energy. The ocean was split into half, the seawater poured down in torrents from both sides. A smooth avenue led directly to the depths of the green ocean.

“I, Dugu Jianmo ⌈²⌋, can finally come out of the closed door training!” It was precisely that person who had returned from the dragon island one year ago, the Solitary Sword Demon.

Not far from him, there was a young Dragon King with tiger-like body and Ancestral Dragon head. It faced upwards and let out a roar. It was precisely that Red Dragon King that followed Dugu Jianmo. It was the most savage one among the eleven Dragon Kings. The crimson scales were glorious, steaming rays of crimson light pulsed up and down of its body, as if they were raging sacred flames. Its roar was as earsplitting as the sudden clap of thunder. In fact, it was clearly much stronger compared to the time it was on the dragon island.

At the same time, in the middle of the primitive forest, the wild beasts were snarling and monsters were running away. A black-haired youth with a steel-like body was charging at a group of monsters. His bare upper body was covered with blood.

He was very wild!

Seven to eight meters wild beasts were nothing more than a scarecrow to him. They would be tore into half as soon as he reached out his hand to grab them. A few random strikes was enough to bring down a few huge monsters.

He was very demonic!

His wild nature made people afraid of him. His skin that flickered with a bronze-like splendor was completely encroached by thin blood. His eyes were even more savage than the beast’s, they flickered with a sharp and ice-cold glint.

As if he could use Ground Shrink, the bronze-like demonic body, that was encroached by blood, left one afterimage after another in the desolate forest. Blood was spilled everywhere he passed through. The group of wild beasts was running away unceasingly. Lots of huge corpses were left on the ground. The blood had already stained the forest with its color.

He was practically a killing machine!

Lastly, only after his terrifying demonic body directly bore through a ten meters long primal beast did he stop the massacre.

He arrived in front of a giant waterfall. He stood right under the thousand feet waterfall and let the torrential current pound against his bronze-colored demonic body. His ice-cold glance seemed to be capable of splitting the water screen. Two terrifying glints were emitted from his eyes as he looked at the direction of the Celestial City.

“It is about time that I, Windfeathers, return to the Celestial City!” With a punch, the thunderous waterfall seemed to be flowing backwards for a split second.

North of Celestial City, eight hundred miles in the wasteland, a youth was sitting atop a rocky mountain quietly like an ancient sculpture.

No life fluctuation could be felt from his body. His ash-colored long hair came off just like the withered flowers and plants. His body was full of dust, as if he had been there for endless years. It seemed he had already been petrified.

It lasted until the black clouds were blown away by the wind, the light driven off the darkness. His body was illuminated by the light. The birdsong resounded in the mountain woods. He burst forth with vigorous vitality in that very instant. The dust on his body flew upward and filled the whole sky.

Those dried up greyish hairs all scattered along with the wind. An aqua blue hair immediately trailed over his shoulders and flickered with a bright blue luster. They appeared incomparably healthy. ⌈³⌋

This was an exceptionally handsome young man. He stood up and looked towards the direction of the Celestial City. Then he muttered under his breath, “I have already confronted Wuxing Feng, who’s next……” ⌈⁴⌋

At this moment, Xiao Chen had already received the golden banknote with seventy nine thousand gold coins from Zhuge Kun, as well as the golden banknote with eighty three thousand gold coins from Hofmann. He made Keke put them into his cloth not far away.

Such a big harvest! Xiao Chen felt accomplished and had an especially bright smile. However, Zhuge Kun and Hofmann felt that their hearts were bleeding.

“You guys can pay the rest slowly. I believe with your personalities, the both of you won’t leave a written contract.” Xiao Chen originally didn’t plan to cause too big of a disturbance. After all, this was the problem between the youth generation. To receive this much money was already out of his expectation. He didn’t count on receiving the remaining amount. If by any chance he provoked the figures of the older generation, that would be bad. What he didn’t know was that, he had already broken the rules. It was just that… due to a freak combination of factors, the fathers of the scums became very apprehensive of him.

When Zhuge Kun and Hofmann heard this, they had the urge to cough out blood. Still wanted more gold coins? In your dreams! They vowed to immediately find someone to kill this insufferably arrogant ******* once they got out.

“I have almost settled everything with these two. It’s about time I set things straight with both of you.” Xiao Chen turned his head to stare at Lidong Bo and Austrian.

Lidong Bo felt his scalp going numb. The scions of two big families were already beaten to such a submissive state, and his family fell short of their families by a lot, he didn’t have that much gold coins.

“I… I don’t have that much gold coins!” Lidong Bo felt that today he was very unlucky. Just why did he take the lead?!

“I know you don’t have much. Come and sign this contract. You are owing me twenty thousand gold coins!”

“I……” Seeing that Xiao Chen’s eyes sharpened, he immediately lowered his head and said, “I will sign it immediately!”

“Un, I’ve already prepared the pen and ink.” With a wave of his hand, the pen and ink flew over from not far away. He came totally prepared. It made the few of them completely dumbstruck.

“Austrian…… you also come and sign. You owe me twenty thousand gold coins.”

“Wh… Why do I have to sign? I didn’t provoke you.” After looking at Xiao Chen’s unyielding means, Austrian had a little of a guilty conscience.

“Hmph! If it wasn’t because you were sowing the seed, why would Katalina come to make trouble for me? How would I end up fighting with Lambda at the North Style Academy? Hurry up and sign, you owe me thirty thousand gold coins.”

“Didn’t you say twenty thousand gold coins just now?”

“Time is money, if you still don’t sign, then I will increase it to forty thousand.”

“I’m signing, I’m signing!”

While the two of them were signing, they hated Xiao Chen to the extreme. This was not a small amount! Their hearts ached so much. However, it was fortunate that they didn’t have to pay it immediately. Maybe this arrogant guy would be killed once he left this place, then they would have nothing to be scared of.

Just like before, Xiao Chen made Keke put the contracts into his clothes.

All of a sudden, lovely voices transmitted into the VIP area two. After that, a beautiful blue-haired girl actually charged in valiantly.

Xiao Chen and the rest were stupefied as they fixed their eyes on her while in the hot spring.

“Katalina!” Austrian cried out, “Why did you come in?”

It was precisely the baby girl of the Mander Family. She very valiantly burst into the VIP area two.

“I heard you were being beaten along with those two scums, Zhuge Kun and Hofmann, I came here to save you!”

That lively little brat was really too valiant! In front of a few grown-up men in the hot spring, she had a content expression on her face. So much so that she was even comparing who had the most sturdy chest muscles.

Zhuge Kun and Hofmann tried to woo Katalina once, it could even be said that they were drooling over this youthful young lady. However, they still didn’t manage to woo her after suffering losses several times. They had the urge to cry right now, why must they run into her in such an awkward situation? They had utterly lost their face. They were not as pretentious as they were before, how they wished they could just submerge their heads in the water.

“Sisters, come in quickly. They have already put on their clothes. The cute snow-white critter is here.” Katalina revealed a sharp expression.

The sound of footsteps could be heard as four beauties walked over.

“Katalina, what are you planning to do?” Austrian knew this cousin of his was usually eccentric, but how could this be considered helping him? She was clearly trying to embarrass the guys at this place. However, this brat was seriously getting more and more daring.This was the men’s spa for god’s sake!

Actually, the beauties had arrived at the VIP area two at an earlier time and had already heard about those news.

“Katalina, you want to die? You actually dared to deceive us.”

Those beautiful girls pouted playfully, but none of them moved back. All of them were looking at the guys in the water and giggling. Their bodies were covered up by bathrobes. The graceful curves, the delicate bodies, the faintly discernible arms and legs, it was full of allure.

Zhuge Kun, Hofmann, Lidong Bo, and Austrian wished they could find a hole in the ground and hide in there.Their heads almost submerged into the water. This was too embarrassing. Why did they have to run into them at a time like this? How they wished they could swallow Xiao Chen alive.

Xiao Chen looked at Katalina, Fairsnow, Yan Qingcheng and the other girls dumbfoundedly. These girls were really too bold!

“Oh please~ This is the men’s area, you girls came to the wrong place.” Xiao Chen didn’t mind about coming into contact with beautiful ladies, because that was one kind of pleasure. However, if they were being studied attentively by the girls, that was a different story. They felt uncomfortable all over.

“Hehe…” Katalina giggled as she walked over. Her long blue hair was still dripping wet and was naturally scattered on the shoulders. She just came out from the hot spring not long ago, she was still soaked from head to foot. The sweet scent of the girls pervaded the air.

“The guy surnamed Xiao, didn’t expect to meet you here. This is truly an inevitable clash between opposing factions. What, scared now?” Katalina had a provoking expression. She cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Chen with her big, beautiful eyes. This sight could really hook one’s soul.

“As if!” Xiao Chen smiled mischievously and said, “Katalina, you owe me twenty thousand gold coins. Now, sign the contract.”

Hearing these, Zhuge Kun, Hofmann, Lidong Bo, and Austrian were dumbstruck. Was this guy crazy? How daring of him to extort money by taking advantage of everyone’s weaknesses. Even a robber wouldn’t do it to such an extent!

“Who owes you what?!” The blue-haired Katalina flared up immediately and pointed at Xiao Chen. Then she said, “Are you trying to take advantage of me? I didn’t cause trouble for you, and yet, you want to extort me. Such abomination!”

“You mysteriously came to cause trouble for me several times. Moreover, you lost to me and promised to become my attendant for a month, but you refused to acknowledge it and didn’t keep the promise. Now, sign the contract. Bring me twenty thousand gold coins and our business will be settled.”

“Go to hell!” When Katalina heard the word “attendant”, she wanted to bare her fangs and pounce on him like a cat that had its tail stepped.

“It is impossible to deny it anymore!” As Xiao Chen was saying these, he calmly sat in the hot spring, but with a wave of his right hand, a glorious radiance enveloped Katalina. He wanted to pull her over.

Zhuge Kun and Hofmann at the rear were completely stunned. This guy was actually playing for real! He even dared to make a move against the baby girl of the Mander Family, this… was too crazy! Too unbelievable!

Katalina screeched and tried to resist without delay. She didn’t mind looking down at the guys in the hot spring like this, but if she was pulled into the hot spring by Xiao Chen, then that would too shameful. Just thinking about it made her feel fearful.

At the rear, Yan Qingcheng, Fairsnow, and the other girls hastily made their move to help Katalina. Red, green, purple, and yellow rays of light dazzled the eyes. They clashed with the clear radiance sent out by Xiao Chen at the same time. Resplendent rays of light exploded on the hot spring, a surge of energy fluctuation rushed forth.

Fortunately, they made it in time. Katalina escaped successfully and didn’t get caught by Xiao Chen. This gave her a lingering fear. She panted with rage and stared at Xiao Chen, “This guy named Xiao actually has the cheek to do it for real! I’m not done with you today!”

“I can see it.” Xiao Chen replied without a care in the world.

Katalina’s pure white bathrobe rolled up and exposed her pair of lily-white legs. They were slender and exceptionally eye-catching. Even her yellow underwear was exposed.

Katalina let out a screech and hastily straightened out her cloth. After that, she extended her slender finger and pointed at Xiao Chen, “Attaboy, you have the guts. You dare to take advantage of this young lady. I will not let you get away with this!”

“Oh please! Who is taking advantage of who? Would ordinary people come barging into the men’s spa like this?”

“You, I……”

“You, what you, I what I, you owe me twenty thousand gold coins.”

“Khh… This is so infuriating! Sisters, let’s take care of him together!” Katalina’s charming face was flushed. Although she had a furious expression, she was still very charming.

Just at this time, Lidong Bo suddenly lifted up his head and yelled towards Fairsnow, “Cousin, save me.”

“Lidong Bo, you… how come you are here?” The graceful Fairsnow was very surprised. Just now she had never noticed this cousin of hers who was lowering his head like the ostrich.

“I…”

“Enough, you don’t need to say anything. I got it.” Fairsnow had a tall figure, elegant and beautiful, like a delicate fairy maiden carved out of divine jade. She turned her head to face Xiao Chen and said, “Xiao Chen, is it possible for you to let Lidong Bo go?”

“Sure, there’s no problem. I have already settled everything with him.”

“Sis, he made me sign a twenty thousand gold coins contract.”

“Eh? Brother Xiao, care to explain?” Although Fairsnow had already heard some news from the outside, she didn’t expect that this dishonorable cousin of his was also involved.

“Oh, nothing much, just paying back the debts.” Xiao Chen replied casually, then he turned his body around to sneer at Lidong Bo, “Your future prospects look promising. A grown-up man hiding in the hot spring, pleading the cousin for help. Heh!”

Just at this time, Katalina’s face suddenly brightened up. She whispered to two girls behind her, and then they turned towards the snow-white little critter together. They directly ignored the guys in the hot spring.

“Whoosh!”

Keke ran beside Xiao Chen like a wisp of smoke. It was baring its fangs at the few girls. However, it didn’t look scary at all. On the contrary, it looked especially naughty and adorable.

“What do you girls want? Keke is my partner.” Xiao Chen looked at the girls vigilantly.

Katalina rolled her big eyes, her long eyelashes flickered unceasingly. Then she shouted, “Catch it! That snow-white little critter doesn’t have an owner. It escaped from the warbeast street last time and was caught by this guy.”

Everyone knew this was a lie, but the beauties needed this as an excuse. Not only because they were very fond of this snow-white little critter, it was also because they thought that Xiao Chen was really too arrogant. The ones who got trampled at this place was not only Katalina’s cousin, there was also Fairsnow’s cousin and a beauty from the Zhuge Family’s cousin. In addition, Yan Qingcheng was originally discontent with Xiao Chen to begin with. The girls made their move without restraint once they found an excuse.

Their goal was to take away the snow-white little critter forcefully while taking care of Xiao Chen at the side.

The girls could even be said to be very intelligent and crafty. After they attacked Xiao Chen at the same time, they quickly fell back and grabbed Xiao Chen’s clothes. They wanted to throw it out of this hot spring area at once. They wanted to humiliate Xiao Chen. ⌈¹⌋

“Crap!” Xiao Chen couldn’t help but let out a curse. There were golden banknotes in his cloth with several tens of thousands of gold coins. There were even a few contracts that were worth more than a few pennies. These absolutely must not be lost.

You girls want to play? Then I will play with you!

Just at this time, Xiao Chen made a move that shocked the heaven and caused the devil to cry. The girls were stunned in an instant, and then their faces turned pale before they let out a shriek. ⌈²⌋

Xiao Chen boldly stood up from the hot spring, then he shouted, “Put the clothes down!”

Such boldness! It made Hofmann and Zhuge Kun behind him feel as if they were struck by a thunderbolt. It made them turn as still as a clay figure! This guy… was such a *******, how could he do this… just how?!

Hofmann and Zhuge Kun admitted that they were not good people, they had done a lot of bad deeds, but even they had never been this ferocious. The few girls in front of them, they were the most beautiful girls in the south. Who would casually defile them? But this guy actually had “no pang of conscience”, he was too fearless!

Xiao Chen stood up and quickly put on the bathrobe that was not far away. Then he rushed forward.

Presently, all three sides were very anxious. Hofmann, Zhuge Kun, and the others felt resentful because that arrogant guy actually dared to be so rude. Those were the girls that they were pursuing all along. Katalina, Fairsnow, and Yan Qingcheng felt unpleasant because that Xiao Chen was too shameless. He actually dared to be so “bold”! Xiao Chen felt anxious because those girls were running away, but they never let go of his clothes. Those clothes possessed more than ten thousands of gold coins, he must not let them get away with it no matter what.

When the sixth slap was coming, Zhuge Kun shut his mouth. He knew he was just wasting his breath. He cursed inwardly, “Mother f—! Who do you think you are? You even dare to anger the scion of Zhuge Family and won’t let me go. Once I get out of here, I will find someone to pinch you to death!”

As if he could read his mind, Xiao Chen slapped him another twenty times before coming to a stop.

“I only hit the face.” Looking at the pig head in front of him, Xiao Chen said uncaringly.

“You… come over here!” Xiao Chen pointed at Hofmann.

Hofmann was so angry that the roots of his teeth were itching, but he had no choice other than yielding to him.

Xiao Chen told Zhuge Kun and Hofmann, “The both of you slap each other twenty times. If I am satisfied, we’ll call it a day with this.”

Their face immediately twitched. With their status, they actually got humiliated like this again and again. Their eyes burned with rage.

“What, still haven’t had enough? You want me to do it myself?!”

“We will do it ourselves!” Zhuge Kun immediately cut in and with a “slap”, he slapped Hofmann in the face.

“Did you skip your meal? Hit harder!”

“Slap!”

“Ouch! You f—— Zhuge pig head. You really dared to hit me harder?!” Hofmann turned his hand over and slapped his face in return.

“Slap… Slap…”

The noise rang out constantly. The two of them seemed to have forgotten each other’s status and thrashed each other to give vent. The slapping sound never stopped. Only after they slapped each other more than thirty times did they stop.

Right now, their eyes were already “sealed”. The flesh around the eyes swelled profusely. They were only able to form tiny slits with their eyes. Their eyes looked like two bloody gourd.

“Alright, that’s enough. I didn’t expect you guys hate each other this much.” First, Xiao Chen ridiculed them, then he said, “Now, let us talk. Let’s see how we can settle the problem from last time.”

Austrian let out a breath of relief. It seemed like Xiao Chen didn’t have the intention to hit him.

But Hofmann and Zhuge Kun almost jumped up. What did he mean talk about the problem from last time? Then what was that earlier? Could it be that they had been hit for nothing? Could it be that it had only just begun? The two of them almost burst out.

“Tenax is a sacred beast, but you guys killed it. The both of you prepare one million gold coins each.”

“@#%￥!” Hofmann was so startled that he blurted a foul word right away.

“One million?!” Zhuge Kun was so shocked that he nearly fainted in the hot spring.

Just how much was one million gold coins? Even if they were beaten to death, they still couldn’t come up with such a sum. Their family had great influence in the south. Although they were not the first successor of the family, they were still the direct line of descendant. Despite that, their own assets only added up to approximately ninety thousand gold coins respectively. One million gold coins was really too far from them, unless they were in control of the family.

Two gold coins were enough to have the highest quality feasts. One could very well imagine what a ridiculous sum was one million gold coins.

“What, you guys have objection?” Xiao Chen sneered and said, “Sacred beast is priceless. Even if you have money, you won’t necessarily be able to buy it! In such a big wasteland and mountain range, no more than two or three can be caught in ten years time. Let’s not even mention the rarest young sacred beast. If they are breed properly, in a few dozen of years or up to a century, they will definitely turn into the most loyal and most powerful partner. What you guys killed was a sacred beast, do you understand?!” Xiao Chen extended his tone on purpose and roared at the two in front of him.

Zhuge Kun cursed inwardly: Mother f—! This guy is like a lion when he opened his mouth. Only a ghost would believe that is a sacred beast. Even if that is true, it is definitely still alive. Otherwise, how could you sit here so calmly and hit us like bamboo sticks? He’s obviously blackmailing us!

Hofmann was feeling just as sullen. He was always the one blackmailing others. Murder, firebombing, ****, he had done all kind of bad deeds. Why did he get such a bad luck today to run into this freak. He vowed to himself: Don’t let me get out of here alive, otherwise I will not stop until you are dead!

“My entire assets only add up to eighty thousand gold coins.” Zhuge Kun bit his lips and said, “I don’t have that much even if you kill me.”

“I also only have eighty thousand plus gold coins.” Hofmann was so sullen that he wanted to cough out blood. His words sounded so very familiar. Wasn’t this the tone people usually used to talk to him? Just what’s going on today? How did he become the target of extortion? Oh how times had changed.

“Well then, each of you pay eighty thousand gold coins upfront. Ask your men to go get it. I will wait here.”

Speaking until here, Xiao Chen fished up two guy with swelling tummy from the water. The two of them were Sixth Celestial Layer practitioners and usually abused their power. They were the personal bodyguards of these scions. However, they were really too miserable today. They were made to drink a bellyful of hot spring water.

Xiao Chen repeated what he said earlier to these thirty years old men. The two of them looked at him resentfully. Then they looked at their respective masters.

“Now get out of my sight.” Xiao Chen shouted coldly.

Only until the two of them left did Zhuge Kun, Hofmann, Lidong Bo, and Austrian regained themselves. This… This guy was actually playing for real! He actually dared to send them to collect money from two big families!!

He was actually serious. Was this guy nuts?!

So be it if he beat up the scions of two big families, the older generation could only turn a blind eye to it. That was, after all, the problem between youth generation. However, this guy actually dared to drop in and ask for a large sum of gold coins. They had seen someone crazy before, but not this crazy!

The older generation experts could not easily get involved with the problem of the youth generation, but that also had a “limit”. Only a foreign guest like Xiao Chen, who “didn’t fully understand” the rules of the immortal’s mainland, would dare to “do things at his own pace”.

The older generation experts couldn’t interfere as they wished, that was only because of some unwritten rules. However, if it affected the family’s reputation, they would have an excuse to make their move.

Zhuge Family and Mander Family were one of the first rate distinguished families in the south. They cared about their face very much. If Xiao Chen snatched away a few thousand gold coins from Zhuge Kun and Hofmann in private, then so it be. That was still the problem between the youth generation. However, to send someone to two big families to ask for a large sum of gold coins in bright daylight, that was touching upon the bottomline.

After a middle-aged man in the Reagan Family received this news, he frowned in the study room and asked, “Where did this Xiao Chen come from? He’s actually so arrogant!”

At the side, a black-clothed man who seemed to have blended with the shadow reported, “According to the investigation, he came from the mortal world and displayed extraordinary power on the dragon island.”

“That came out from his own mouth. I am not too convinced that he really came from the mortal world. With such a tyrannical behavior, it gives me a really bad feeling. Maybe… He came from the deepest part of the south!” The middle-aged man revealed a worried expression.

“According to our investigation, when they departed from that ancient town at the south sea, they mysteriously disappeared for about a month. They arrived at Celestial City in exactly thirty plus days. We couldn’t find out where did they go during these period of time.” The person in the shadow answered.

The anxiety on the middle-aged man’s face became heavier. He muttered to himself, “They mysteriously disappeared for one month, they must have returned to the deepest part of the south. My speculation might be true. Thirty years ago, that person came from the deepest part of the south and made the younger generation of an influential family in Celestial City suffer. Because of this, a huge disaster almost broke out!” ⌈¹⌋

“My lord, you are saying… the ancient legend passed down in the south is real? The legend regarding how few of the strongest hid in the deepest part of the south?! But… Didn’t they say those group of people had been sealed? All of them… completely… sealed on that island since ancient times?!” The person in the shadow felt a little tongue-tied. He stumbled over his words.

“There’s a lot more ancient secrets regarding the depths of the south than you can imagine!”

At the same time, in the Zhuge Family. Zhuge Kun’s father also frowned.

“One month of blank space… Don’t tell me that boy really came from the depths of the south? His action is practically the same as that guy from thirty years ago.” ⌈²⌋

The person beside him asked respectfully, “My lord, is it true that there’s a few ancient mythological figures in the south? They really didn’t die?!”

“They were the few “sovereigns” at that time. Getting out alive was extremely possible. Even if they no longer exist in the world, leaving a one or two descendents behind is not a big problem.”

“No wonder no one can ever come back from the depths of the south alive……” The person beside him felt a little apprehensive.

Zhuge Kun’s father heaved a sigh and said, “There’s still a lot of secrets in the depths of the south that we do not know of. That clan is not the only one there!” Speaking until here, he turned his head and shouted angrily, “This ******* has done so many bad deeds, it is time to teach him a lesson. Tell him to wipe his own *** by himself, I will not meddle in this issue!”

In VIP area two of the Paradise Spa, Zhuge Kun and Hofmann exposed a triumphant smile.

This Xiao Chen was really a madman, he actually dared to send people to the two big families to ask for a large sum of gold coins. Maybe one or two old farts in the families would come out personally, let’s see if he could still keep up with this act at that time.

Lidong Bo and Austrian also looked like they were getting ready to watch a good show. Madman, we don’t dare to provoke you now, but let’s see if you can get the last laugh. If you provoked an old fart from the family, you are going to be screwed!

However, after the Sixth Celestial Layer experts returned with the news, Zhuge Kun and Hofmann immediately became flabbergasted. The words from their families were almost identical: Wipe your own *** by yourself, don’t rely on the family to wipe your *** for you. They were completely dumbstruck. Until the Sixth Celestial Layer experts repeated these words in their ears quietly did they regain themselves.

Just where did this Xiao Chen come from? He actually made their father a little apprehensive. Could it be that he has a really deep background?!

Seeing their expression, Lidong Bo and Austrian’s mood to watch a show was destroyed. They could roughly guess the result. They found it a little inconceivable.

“You guys actually didn’t bring me the gold coins. The two of you can continue drinking!” Xiao Chen directly forced the two Sixth Celestial Layer bodyguards into the hot spring. And on the other side, more than ten guards with round belly were gagging and spitting out water.

“Looks like the two of you cannot accept this. Then I will continue to soften your muscles and bones.” Xiao Chen smiled as he walked towards Zhuge Kun and Hofmann.

“St… Stop! This time for sure, I will send someone to get the gold coins.” Zhuge Kun clenched his teeth and ran over to one of the guards that were right in the middle of coughing out water. He told him, “Go find my housekeeper and ask him to deliver the gold coins.”

Since it was already like this, Hofmann also instructed his underlings to do the same without delay. He was so sullen that he wanted to cough out blood. He made an oath silently, “As long as I can get out from this damnable place smoothly, I will definitely find someone to kill this savage scoundrel and get back all the gold coins, not leaving a single piece behind.”

At the same time Zhuge Kun and Hofmann’s hearts were bleeding, they were also feeling puzzled. Why did their family ignore their pleas? This didn’t make any sense!

But how could they know that Xiao Chen’s action was exactly the same as a certain someone thirty years ago. He was suspected to have come from the same place and made their father endlessly apprehensive.

Not more than half an hour later, two groups of people walked towards VIP area two of the Paradise Spa, each of them was carrying a sack of gold coins. It caused a lot of people who entered the Paradise Spa to feel flabbergasted.

Xiao Chen felt a little speechless. With this much gold coins, he wouldn’t be able to carry all of them by himself.

“Are you guys crazy? Are you guys trying to make fun of me deliberately? Go convert them into banknotes!”

“Huff! Huff!” After catching their breath, the two groups of people retreated quickly.

However, the news hereby spread out. Those who could afford to come to this place were those who had a certain status. Many of them were in Zhuge Kun and Hofmann’s circle. There’s no lack of young masters or scions. There were also plenty of upper-class ladies and celebrities. So much so that there were also a lot of powerful figures who came from other regions for the warbeast tournament in Celestial City.

“Hey, did you know? Two dregs of society ended up disastrously today. They were forced to pay several tens of thousands of gold coins to redeem themselves.”

“Have you heard? The two scums from Zhuge Family and Reagan Family were beaten up today!”

“Big news! Big news! Zhuge Kun and Hofmann got beaten up until their mother couldn’t recognize them anymore. Right now, they have no choice but to obediently exchange their life with gold coins.”

“Those two are usually so savage, I knew it would cost them dearly one of these days. However, that Xiao Chen is indeed a madman among the madman.”

“Those two guys lose their face completely. However, that Xiao Chen is really so brave! He actually dared to do this.”

In a short amount of time, almost everyone in Paradise Spa had heard of this. It was impossible for Xiao Chen not to be well known anymore. In addition to how he defeated the genius Wuxing Feng before, his reputation rose sharply.

It should be mentioned that Hofmann really did a lot of bad things. Murder and arson, occupying people’s properties by force, just a little bit more and he would also have done away with human life. He had done all kind of misdeeds. It seemed like people dropped in to seek revenge almost everyday.

The event from a few days ago — regarding how he received the news at the last minute and went to fight over Tenax — he didn’t take it to heart. Since he didn’t succeed, and he wasn’t the only one who did it, he didn’t take this action seriously. If only he knew who this “stubble” in front of him really was.

“Who the f— are you?” Hofmann had a ferocious expression. He was used to oppressing others and was unable to tolerate other people speaking normally in front of him. Only by making people nodding their heads and bowing before him could it be considered normal.

“Your mouth is awfully repulsive!” With a flash of light, a sharp and clear noise resounded. A clear slap mark appeared on Hofmann’s face. He almost fell into the hot spring. That was a strong slap on the face.

“F—! You dare to hit me?! This mother f— is courting death!” Hofmann could also be considered an expert. Exuvia Fourth Celestial Layer was enough to let him sweep the floor with ordinary practitioners. Getting a big slap on the face like this by others, it was simply a humiliation. His face completely distorted as he pounced towards Xiao Chen very fiercely.

Just what was Xiao Chen’s power level? Exuvia Ninth Celestial Layer! When compared to Hofmann, the difference was just like night and day. Xiao Chen’s impression of this guy was an all time low. He just leaned his back on the wall of the reservoir and raised his leg to send out a kick. Layer upon layer of the leg’s afterimages flashed before Hofmann’s eyes. It made him startled and fearful. He was actually unable to dodge with the power of Fourth Celestial Layer.

Hofmann was kicked straight in the face. He got a nosebleed immediately as he was sent flying backwards. With a “plop”, he fell into the hot spring. Hofmann was tearing up due to the pain. It felt as if his nose had shattered into pieces. He almost couldn’t open his eyes.

“Mother f—! Someone come and chop that guy into pieces for me!” Hofmann shouted loudly. When had he ever suffered this kind of loss, it was always the other way round. For this to happen today was something he could never imagine.

“Someone come and kill this scoundrel!” Lidong Bo at the side also shouted loudly. If not because Hofmann asked him to restrain himself, he would have done that ages ago. Just previously he had also received a big slap in the face. When he was calling for help, he cursed inwardly: This f—— Hofmann, serves you right. Just now when the great me got thrashed, you made me restrain myself. Trying to pretend to be a big shot, now that you’ve shamed yourself, serves you right!

In that instant, more than ten human figures rushed in. At the same time, Keke sneakily returned. Looking at how lively this place was, it thought those few witches had sent people over to catch it. Just when it wanted to run away, Xiao Chen called out to it.

Xiao Chen originally wanted to ask Tenax to take care of those people, but once he notice that Keke had returned, he shouted, “Come back. Seal these people’s movement for me and let them soak in the hot spring. He momentarily forgot to ask where did it go and if it caused any trouble.

Rainbow-colored light flickered. More than ten human figures were fixed in place, then they were thrown into the hot spring. Soon after, an invisible power pushed their bodies under the water. The bubbles rose to the surface unceasingly. Soaking in the hot spring had somehow turned into drinking the hot spring.

Xiao Chen leisurely leaned against the wall of the reservoir. He poured the good wine and drank it by himself.

“Just who are you?” Hofmann’s face had changed. This avenger was clearly different from the others. His power was deep and unmeasurable. In addition, he had this kind of bizarre little critter. He looked like someone important.

“You still don’t know who am I?!” Xiao Chen sneered and said, “Didn’t you try to steal my sacred beast a few days ago?!”

“You… You are Xiao Chen?!” Hofmann’s expression changed yet again. He looked at the milky white divine steed at the side. Then he looked at Xiao Chen doubtfully. This divine steed might be a very fine horse, but it was definitely not that tough little dragon. And precisely because of this, he had never linked this person’s identity to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen seemed to have noticed his doubt. He said in a deep voice, “You guys killed my sacred beast, one with unlimited potential! Say… how will you guys compensate for this?”

“You… talk nonsense! How could that be a sacred beast? It was only an ugly lesser dragon!” Hofmann’s tone was no longer as unyielding as before. He didn’t dare to throw up any more vulgar words from his mouth. He had heard of this person before his eyes. A lot of people had been discussing about him these days. He was a madman who had even made Wuxing Feng crawl on the floor. He was definitely a super dangerous person.

Xiao Chen’s face twitched due to anger, he shouted coldly, “An ugly lesser dragon? Then why did you guys try to take it away forcibly?!” Speaking until here, his palm immediately moved. The lofty Hofmann was slapped in the face and was sent flying away. He fell into the water with a plop.

At the side, Lidong Bo’s face was deathly pale. He really didn’t expect that they would have provoked the legendary human-shaped Tyrannical Dragon. That was a Ninth Celestial Layer freak! Besides, just by looking at his family background, he couldn’t even be compared with Hofmann and didn’t have anything to rely on.

“You mother f—!” After Hofmann fell, he got so angry that his face turned completely ashen. After he got up, he pointed at Xiao Chen with his index finger and said, “Mother f—, I will admit defeat today. But I will not let it end like this, just you wait!” After he finished talking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Xiao Chen sent another slap to his face. The rays of light flashed through and Hofmann was hit again. His cheeks were swelling profusely as his sorry figure fell into the hot spring.

“You dare to act like a hoodlum? You dare to play harsh and unreasonable? You don’t have enough qualifications!” Xiao Chen said coldly, “Who said you can leave? Without my permission, don’t you dare take another step!!”

Hofmann had completely lost his face in front of his bad friend. He was practically going to be driven mad. He cursed again after he stood up, “This mother f— is courting death! I am from the Reaga-”

Xiao Chen did not hold back this time. He violently waved his hand and a stream of light flashed through. Hofmann was pulled in front of Xiao Chen by an invisible power. Xiao Chen grabbed him and slapped him ten times in succession. Hofmann’s face was swelling profusely. It became purplish and congested.

“You dare to use vulgar words to talk to me? Are you tired of living…?”

At the side, Lidong Bo, Zhuge Kun, and Austrian broke out in cold sweat. This person was really too aggressive. He actually grabbed the scion of the Reagan Family like a little chick and beat him. His savagery was higher than the sky.

They did this kind of things quite frequently. Mostly to humiliate the weak or the victims. These people couldn’t do anything to them because their status and power were far below them.

This was the first time they saw someone as wild as Xiao Chen. When all was said and done, the Reagan Family was still an ancient family that was ranked high in the Celestial City. They had great influence in the south. And he was actually beating up their scion just like this. Seriously too savage.

“@#%￥……” Hofmann was extremely furious, but once he saw Xiao Chen’s ice-cold gaze, he abruptly repressed his anger. He could feel the breath of death enveloping him. This guy in front of him was really too terrifying. That kind of ice-cold gaze penetrated into his very bones.

Without a doubt, the guy before him was a madman. He didn’t care the least about the family behind his back. If he dared to utter a hoot one more time, he might be killed ruthlessly!

“Why did you stop cursing? Go on, I dare you!”

“I……” Hofmann became completely listless. His heart was deeply penetrated by fear. This Xiao Chen was absolutely not a Buddhist. One wrong word and he would be killed. How would he dare to continue speaking conceited nonsense. “You asked what’s to be done right? I want to settle the misunderstanding from a few days ago with you privately.”

“Misunderstanding? Hmph!” Xiao Chen snorted coldly and pushed him away. Hofmann fell into the water in a short while, but this time, he did not dare to act rashly after getting up.

“You, come over here!” Xiao Chen reseated and drank a cup of good wine. Then he beckoned Lidong Bo to come over with his finger.

This behavior made Hofmann and Lidong Bo want to curse him: Such arrogance, did you think you are a big shot in Celestial City?

Lidong Bo was scared witless as he walked over there. He was not as arrogant as he was before. The person before his eyes must be the fiercest among the fiercest. If he had known earlier, he absolutely wouldn’t be the first to stir up trouble.

Xiao Chen lightly patted his face and said, “Weren’t you trying to slap my face earlier? Didn’t you say I was courting death? How come you are so scared now?”

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen sent Lidong Bo flying with a kick, causing a big splash.

“Come over here!”

Lidong Bo’s face was both pale and green as he walked over again.

“Slap!”

Xiao Chen sent him flying again with another slap. Only after a long time later did Lidong Bo get up again.

Xiao Chen was not trying to bully the weak, nor was he being ruthless. The main reason was that none of these people had good personalities. Hofmann usually spent his days raping female students, murdering for money and setting fire on people’s properties. He had done all kinds of bad deeds. There was no way his gang of scoundrels could be any better than him. If not because he felt apprehensive, Xiao Chen would have already hanged these dregs of society at the street for all to see.

He felt that he was already being lenient by doing only this much. There was no reason to show mercy to such utterly heartless people. No longer paying any attention to Lidong Bo, Xiao Chen raised his head and drank a cup of good wine. Then he beckoned Zhuge Kun and said, “It’s your turn, fatty.”

His figure was not tall. This Zhuge Kun was like a landmine, every time he walked, his fatty meat would tremble. He wore a smile across his entire face and said, “Brother Xiao, last time was really a misunderstanding. But don’t worry, I will definitely satisfy your request.”

“Stop talking nonsense. My warbeast is dead, what can you use to repay me, how can you make me satisfied?!” Xiao Chen’s goal was to teach these hedonistic sons a lesson. Even if he had to make up a lie, he wanted to beat them up.

At the side, Tenax was looking at everything coldly. If not because Xiao Chen was currently putting them in order, it would have already rushed over there itself.

Brother Xiao, listen to me……” Zhuge Kun was from the direct line of the Zhuge Family, his status was very extraordinary. When had he ever spoke in such a servile manner? But since he was trapped at this place today, he had no choice but to act like this. He must immediately think of a way to get out of this damnable place.

“Slap!”

It was as if Xiao Chen was enchanted by the slap. A big slap mark appeared on Zhuge Kun’s face. As they said… when beating people don’t hit the face, but Xiao Chen just had to slap them on the face.

Zhuge Kun got a nosebleed immediately, but he was still wearing a smile as he stood up. He said, “Brother Xiao, show some mercy. I am Zhuge Liang’s cousin. Last time was really a misunderstanding. Please listen to me patiently. I believe we can become good friends…”

“Becoming friends with you people? I’d rather kill myself! Don’t you guys have any moral standing?!”

Xiao Chen had a heroic figure as he sat in the hot spring. His durable body flickered with a bronze-like splendor. It seemed as if young dragons were winding around his well built body. It made him seem energetic and powerful. His long black hair was naturally draped over his shoulders. The long eyebrows touched his temples. His clear eyes were as sharp as the sword.

Right now, in Zhuge Kun and company’s eyes, they felt that he was a demon. It made them feel as if they were being watched attentively by a wolf.

Hoodlum meets Madman was the best way to describe this. That’s right, if they were hoodlums, then Xiao Chen was an exceptional madman. It made them feel powerless.

In the VIP area two, the “madman” was taking care of the hoodlums, while the beauties at VIP area one were having a hushed discussion.

“Where do you think that little critter came from? It was so cuuute!”

“I know right? That snow-white appearance looked as if it was carved out of white jade. And that hairball flickered with a bright and beautiful luster. It made me want to hug it tightly.”

“That’s right, I really want to keep it as a pet. That snow-white little critter looked really intelligent.”

The pretty girls were already infatuated. It seemed as if they had already embraced Keke in their arms. They did not hide their inner desires. Without any outsiders present, they did not care about being seen. Their lily-white arms and legs, shapely breasts and buttocks, were completely revealed. It was a sore sight for the eyes.

The baby girl of the Mander Family, Katalina, was rolling her big eyes non-stop. She had a bright expression as she said, “Why don’t we go out to take a stroll? Who knows, we might be able to find it. Even if it has an owner, we can still buy it off. With a group of beautiful girls like us, who would say ‘no’?”

She had already recognized it as Xiao Chen’s pampered little critter. The reason she suggested this was to seize an opportunity to give Xiao Chen some trouble. As she spoke, she used her lily-white arms to shake the calm Fairsnow, who had exposed most of her snow-white skin. Then she said, “Don’t act so calm, there’s no outsider here. What do you think of my idea? You going or not?”

“Go, of course we will go! We must find that snow-white little critter.” Two girls at the side supported this idea.

On the other side, Yan Qingcheng was looking at all of these with a smile. She just joined their little group recently, and didn’t declare where she stood. However, she was of the same opinion as the blue-haired Katalina. Her beautiful face revealed a peculiar expression. She could already imagine Xiao Chen’s sorry figure as he was troubled by the girls. She thought it was about time to teach this hateful scoundrel a lesson.

1. N/a

---

---

The faintly discernible mist, the fragrance of flowers. The Paradise Spa was filled with rarely seen flowers. Lots of vines intertwined together to form a natural screen which separated each VIP area.

Xiao Chen had indeed crossed the boundary. When he saw Yan Qingcheng and Fairsnow, who were covered with towels, he knew that the situation was far from good. Fortunately, his ability was profound. With a flap of his Undying Divine Wings, he quickly flew more than ten meters away.

Keke and Tenax looked at each other in dismay. They lowered their heads and turned back.

Fortunately, nobody took notice as this occurred. Otherwise a huge disturbance would arise.

After Xiao Chen took off the clothes and soaked in the hot spring, a beautiful maid came and delivered a good wine. This was a beastkin, her fair skin was as tender as the water, and her pair of cute ears were hairy. Behind her was a fox tail. After the beautiful beastkin maid lightly put the wooden tray with the good wine on the hot spring, she asked with a gentle voice, “Do you need any other service?”

“Hm?” Xiao Chen was shocked, but when he looked at the maid’s watery big eyes, he immediately had a flash and said, “No need.”

“Oh… very well, if you need anything, just pull this bell rope. We will rush over and satisfy any request.” The maid twisted her waist and left.

The mist was hazy. Xiao Chen was soaking in a warm hot spring, leaning against the wall while looking upward, taking a whiff of the refreshing flowery fragrance, and taking a sip of the wine on the wooden tray. He felt very much relaxed. This was indeed one kind of pleasure.

“Let’s relax the body first. After that, we’ll go find the scum to settle the score.”

It must be mentioned that the arrangements of the Paradise Spa were very pleasing to the eyes. With the hills, the gardens, and the flowery fragrance, it was just like a Pure Land in the bustling Celestial City.

One must know that with the mist lingering on like this, it was very hard for those delicate flowers to survive. But this place was filled with all kinds of flowers, the fine woods were lush and verdant, and the vines folded over in layers.

The excellent wine was fresh and tasty, Xiao Chen seldom had this kind of opportunity to relax. The pores all over his body had opened up, his entire body felt incomparably relaxed. For a long time now, his body was always in an extremely stiff state. When he was drinking by himself at this moment, he actually felt a little drunk in the hot spring.

Right at this moment, he thought about many, many things. He arrived at the world of immortals very unexpectedly, what path should he take from hereafter?

He really wanted to return to the mortal world. He longed for his parents, his friends, and the people he was familiar with. Even when he thought about a few of his enemies in the olden days, he no longer thought that they were that hateful anymore.

Just, how to return to the mortal world? The information he got after arriving at this world made him feel powerless. Even after breaking through the bounds of life and death, after reaching the realm of Immortalis, it was still impossible to open a spatial rift to the mortal world.

With the power to open a spatial rift, going from the mortal world to the world of immortals was like going along with the flow. But going from the world of immortals to the mortal world was like going against a torrential current. The difficulty of the two was not on the same level.

“Even if it is impossible, I still want to go back and take a look.” When Xiao Chen entered the world of immortals, he was always advancing towards this direction. That was what had been driving him to train so hard, he hoped that one day he could make it to the Immortalis realm.

Like Lan Nuo who had stopped aging and achieved immortality at the age of thirty, not even one had appeared in a millennium. She was truly an extremely gifted fairy. Especially in the mortal world where the spiritual energy was lacking, to be able to reach this realm under that kind of circumstances, it made Lan Nuo even more otherworldly. She was a peerless genius not only in name but also in reality.

Xiao Chen did not have extravagant hope that he could breakthrough to the Immortalis realm at the age of thirty. The time limit he set upon himself was before reaching forty five years old. This was already a goal too high to reach for any ordinary people.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to be strict with himself. He was already twenty one years old, and his parents were already nearly fifty years old. Who knew if his parents would still be in this world twenty four years later. He was not allowed to waste too much time.

The next twenty four years were a human’s most important years. It was the time when they entered the middle age. Who knew if that girl in the mortal world would already become other people’s wife during this time?

Just like flowers were perishable, young beauties would also grow old.

The romance they once shared, it would be mercilessly shattered with the passage of time. Xiao Chen didn’t have any extravagant hope. If she still remembered a guy called Xiao Chen after twenty four years later, he would be contented.

“Twenty four years… I sacrificed my youth to train, but I still can’t see the ending.”

Xiao Chen had a forlorn feeling. He helplessly heaved a sigh. Those clear eyes, those long eyelashes, that sincere smile, that delicate rear view, they were slowly getting further apart, slowly fading away. Xiao Chen exerted his strength to pull the long hair, then he suddenly lifted his head.

“I’m just bringing trouble to myself. I just need to know that I liked her once, that’s more than enough.” It must be mentioned that Xiao Chen was strong-willed. He quickly casted his downcast mood away.

“I hope you can find a man who you can truly trust.” Xiao Chen’s eyes seemed to cut across space-time. As if he could see that girl again.

After that, he pushed the wooden tray away and began to train in the hot spring. If people saw him like this, they would definitely say he was a battle maniac.

Keke was also soaking in the hot spring comfortably. And Tenax also seemed to feel relaxed. They exposed a satisfied expression and swam in the hot spring. In the end, Keke swam over to the wooden tray. It grabbed the wine cup and gulped down the wine. As a result, the snow-white little critter choked until its big eyes gleamed with tears. It threw the wine cup on the spot and ran away from the hot spring like a wisp of smoke.

Xiao Chen did not fully indulge himself in training. He quickly detected someone was getting near. It was that beastkin girl with hairy ears.

“My lord, I’m here to deliver the wine.”

“Just put it over there.”

When the maid put the tray on the water, Xiao Chen asked, “Is that scum from the Reagan Family here?”

“This… Are you talking about Master Hofmann?”

“Yes, I’m talking about that scum.”

“This…” The maid was hesitating, it seemed like she was having a hard time deciding whether to answer or not.

“Don’t worry, I will not cause havoc here. From your expression, I can already tell that the scum is here.” Xiao Chen’s words were very calm, but it still gave people an extremely forceful feeling as he said, “Go tell him that I will not look for him, instead he should to bring his *** here!”

“You…… You sure?” The maid felt her heart thumping like crazy. Just who was this guy? He was actually so arrogant. That was the scion of the Reagan Family, just how many people would dare to provoke him?

“That’s right, just say it like this!”

“What if he asks for your name?”

“He knows who I am. If he don’t know, then he’s screwed!”

“Oh… alright… I will go immediately.” The maid lost her head out of fear and ran away. She felt that this guy must definitely be a madman.

When the maid arrived at the VIP area seven, a few hedonistic son were currently teasing a few beautiful women in the hot spring.

“Is Master Hofmann still around?” The beastkin maid was fully aware of these hedonistic son’s bad habits. She was apprehensive of these scions who made such brazen moves in full daylight.

“Heh-heh, so it is a beastkin chick. Come and accompany this young master.” A little fatty, who harbored malicious intentions towards the beastkin maid, smiled and said, “This young master is fond of a woman from a different tribe.”

The beastkind maid quickly lowered her voice and said, “Master Zhuge, someone is looking for Master Hofmann, do you know if he’s still around?”

“Heh-heh…” A few hedonistic sons laughed at the same time.

A few flirtatious girls also giggled. One of the girls pouted and said, “He’s in the room.”

Not far from the hot spring, there was a small wooden house. The house was covered by vines and looked to be in harmony with nature. A moaning sound was transmitted from the small wooden house. Just listening to it made one flush with excitement.

“Hofmann, someone is looking for you.” The little fatty harbored malicious intents and shouted loudly.

“Don’t disturb me!” An impatient voice transmitted from the small wooden house.

“You are really not coming out? It’s a beastkin chick. If you don’t come out, I will take her.”

“Bang!”

The door of the small wooden house was pushed open abruptly. A blondie which a wrapped bath towel around himself, hastily walked out with large strides. He had a lot of body hair. The ones in his thigh and chest were nearly one inch long. They were thick and rather scary. With his lofty build, he looked like a gorilla.

“Tsk, tsk. It really is a beastkin chick. Haha…” Hofmann laughed out loud. He quickly walked over. Behind him was a black-haired girl with messy clothes. A single glance was enough to tell that she was a charming lady. When she twisted her waist, it was moving about like a water snake. Her entire face was filled with lust.

“Master Hofmann, s… someone wanted you to go over there.”

“Huh? What’s going on?!” Hofmann immediately stopped smiling. His eyes became vigilant and asked, “What is it?”

“This… I do not know. He asked you to go over there. At VIP area two.”

Listening until here, Hofmann thought about it carefully and asked in a deep voice, “What did he tell you? Recite everything he said word by word.”

After he heard the beastkin maid recite the words, Hofmann became furious and shouted, “Mother f—! Just who is that arrogant *******! He actually dared to call me a scum and make me go over there? Is he tired of living?! He actually dared to speak conceited nonsense. That mother f— has gall!”

From the hot spring came the laughter of the little fatty, “Your moral standing is really the worst. You have offended so many people that you actually don’t know who it is.”

Hofmann glared at him and said, “Zhuge Kun, stop making sarcastic remarks. You did just as much bad deeds! Not only two or three times, instead people are coming to get back at you almost everyday. Can you still even remember clearly how much trouble you’ve caused?”

From the hot spring, a young man holding a pretty girl in his arms said, “This guy is indeed very arrogant. If he dared to speak like this, he probably has the backing of some major power. I think it might be someone you guys had provoked recently.”

“I have provoked too many people, how am I supposed to know who this is.” Hofmann cursed fiercely and put on a bathrobe. Then he said to the brothers in the hot spring, “Come, let’s go and take a look together. We will teach this ******* a lesson.”

After pushing away those hot girls, the few of them walked away from the hot spring and headed towards Xiao Chen’s VIP area two in a group.

“Isn’t this ******* too arrogant? He actually dared to ask me, Hofmann, to drop in and apologize. Is he tired of living?!” He hadn’t arrived, but his voice already transmitted over. With the thick hair exposed in his chest, it made the lofty Hofmann look like a gorilla.

Xiao Chen took a glance at him. Then he found an acquaintance. Among the four of them, there was a man with a barely passable appearance. That was the Mander Family’s baby girl Katalina’s so-called seventh brother. This guy had once invited Xiao Chen to the Mander Family as a guest at the warbeast street with a rather haughty attitude. As a result, Xiao Chen didn’t go and it led to a series of events.

Xiao Chen did not respond to Hofmann, he looked at Katalina’s seventh brother and asked, “We have met before, how shall I address you?”

“Austrian.” For some reason, Austrian did not reveal Xiao Chen’s identity.

“Announce your name one by one.” Xiao Chen’s words were very indifferent. He carried a commanding tone, just like a general rebuking the new recruits.

“Who the f— do you think you are?!” Don’t you dare talk so big, you want to die?!” Among the four, a black-haired man with many freckles revealed a sinister expression and said, “Remember my name, it’s Lidong Bo. I am not someone you can provoke, if you don’t have anything important, you better stop acting like our boss.”

Speaking until here, he took a step forward. It seemed like he wanted to slap Xiao Chen who was still in the hot spring.

“Slap!”

The slap resounded clearly. It was a big slap in the face, but it was not Lidong Bo who did it. Instead, Xiao Chen ruthlessly slapped Lidong Bo on the face, causing him to splash across and drop into the hot spring with a plop.

“How dare you!” After Lidong Bo fell into the water, he quickly jumped up and shouted with rage, “You f—— *******, you are dead for sure this time.”

Xiao Chen did not respond to him. He faced Hofmann and company, then he said, “Announce your names by yourselves.”

“F—, just who do you think you are? The great me is called Hofmann.” The tall Hofmann repressed his anger and stepped into the hot spring. He sat opposite of Xiao Chen. He had incurred the hatred of many people. He wanted to see what this know-it-all could do.

“I am called Zhuge Kun.” The little fatty was very easy-going as he slowly stepped into the hot spring.

Xiao Chen found it quite amusing. How did the Zhuge Family produce this many fatties? This one had outdone both Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Ming combined, his waist measurement, that is. The excess fats on his cheeks trembled with every slight movement. Xiao Chen originally wanted to go find this guy, but he never thought that he would be together with Hofmann. This could save a lot of trouble.

Lastly, Austrian also entered the hot spring.

Among the four of them, Lidong Bo and Hofmann were the most enraged. That guy directly in front of them was too arrogant. They really wanted to beat him up immediately.

“Boy, if you want to court death, this is not how you do it.” Hofmann stared at Xiao Chen coldly. He was carrying a hint of contempt. As long as he gave the order, more than ten of his bodyguards would rush in immediately and turn Xiao Chen into mincemeat. This was the reason of his confidence.

“I really don’t understand. This gold-haired gorilla is so arrogant, how did he live until now.” Xiao Chen heaved a sigh. It almost caused Hofmann to die from an excess of anger, he almost caused him to choke to death.

“F—!” Hofmann really wanted to jump over there immediately, but he endured and smiled brutishly, “Very well, I will play with you for now.”

“Keke, go and catch the guys outside. Hm?” Xiao Chen stared blankly for a moment. He found that the snow-white little critter had disappeared from who knows when. He felt that something bad was about to happen. This little thing was the best at causing trouble. Just where did it go in the blink of an eye? The next door seemed to be where the beauties were soaking. Could it be that it had ran over there to stir up trouble?

At the hot spring next door. A few beauties were in a fluster as they surrounded the snow-white little critter floating on the water. ⌈¹⌋

“Catch it, quick! Just a little bit more…”

“Over there, don’t let it go!”

“Aww, I almost caught it.”

The snow-white little critter was having a lot of fun in the water. It caused the few girls to run and jump all over the place. They disregarded their dignity and surrounded it.

Those snow-white slender thighs, those smooth delicate arms, those thin and curvy waists, the towels dancing in the air, and those soft boobies swaying left and right, it was a sexually arousing scene.

If a man was standing at this place, he would definitely not be able to bear it. If he did not die from blood loss, he would faint from overexcitement.

Pitiful Keke, it had gulped down two big mouthfuls of wine due to curiosity. As a result, its throat was burning. It escaped from the VIP area two and wanted to find some gourmet food to press down that spicy hot taste of the wine. It unexpectedly came to the few beautiful ladies’ hot spring and immediately cleaned up their desserts. But as a result, it caused the group of girls to surround it. All of them had stars in their eyes. They looked like they would embrace the little critter with all their might as soon as it was caught.

The snow-white little critter could differentiate between good and bad, it knew that they didn’t have any evil intention. On the contrary, they seemed to be very fond of it. But precisely because of this, it made the little critter more afraid of them. It didn’t want to use its divine ability to deal with them, so it was running all over the hot spring.

Only Yan Qingcheng did not participate in this, because she recognized Keke and knew who it belonged to. She rolled her beautiful eyes a few times, then the corner of her mouth gradually curved up.

“Plop!”

“Kya! How did I suddenly fly up and fall into the water?”

Keke still made its move in the end. After using the confinement technique to seal the movements of two girls, it ran back to VIP area two like a wisp of smoke.

The rainbow-colored sacred tree and Tenax’s pulsation were synchronized as they fused together. Words failed to describe how miraculous it was. One after another rainbow-colored sticky liquids actually flowed out from those terrifying wounds. A faint fragrance pervaded the air. Just getting a whiff of this fragrance made one’s mind clear.

Just like when a thousand year ginseng ripened, this was a smell that would intoxicate people. When the rainbow-colored dragon cocoon was taking shape, it seemed like it was accompanied by a slight vibration. The base of the pavilion seemed to be shaking lightly.

After everything finally calmed down, the rainbow-colored dragon cocoon emitted brilliant lights and vibrant colors. The strong fragrance made the entire courtyard incomparably fragrant. The gluttonous Keke really wanted to take a bite. After the snow-white little critter revolved around the rainbow-colored dragon cocoon, its glittering big eyes were filled with amazement. Its long eyelashes flickered unceasingly. In the end, the refreshing fragrance made it unable to restrain itself anymore. After stealing a glance at Xiao Chen, Keke quickly grabbed a portion of the dragon cocoon.

The black liquid, white liquid, green liquid, and gold liquid had blended together. The liquid was as sticky as honey and made Keke’s little paw shine with a glistening radiance. The splendor dazzled the eyes. Keke closed its eyes and sniffed that intoxicating fragrance. As if it was drunk, Keke moved its little paw that was smeared with the rainbow-colored liquid towards its mouth.

Something astonishing happened. Under the flickering stream of light, the glorious rainbow-colored liquid vaporized. It actually evaporated from Keke’s little paw, turning into a stream of light mist as it hung in the air. In the end, it blended into that dragon cocoon.

Keke was very unwilling, it still wanted to grab a portion of the crystal clear and sticky liquid, but it was stopped by Xiao Chen. The snow-white little critter seemed to know it mustn’t act recklessly, so it didn’t make any trouble this time and began to watch quietly at the side.

The rainbow-colored dragon cocoon was completely made out of the colorful liquid. Although it was pressed down on the marble ground of the pavilion, it didn’t deform. It was a perfect circular shape. Moreover, it was not contaminated by any dust. The faint radiance had repelled any impurity.

Roughly two hours later, the rainbow-colored liquid began to solidify and changed into a solid rainbow shell. Keke’s expression was very rich. Its little mouth immediately turned into an “O” shape. Although this was not the rainbow-colored egg, it looked extremely similar to the rainbow-colored egg. One must know that Keke was born from a genuine rainbow-colored egg. Even Xiao Chen was rather shocked. It was very obvious that Tenax was undergoing an evolution, but this kind of outcome was really too unexpected.

“Crack!”

A brittle sound transmitted outwards. Below the rainbow-colored egg lookalike dragon cocoon, the solid marble ground cracked. Even the base of the pavilion started to shake again.

After everything had calmed down, one multicolored radiance after another rushed forth from the cracks and gathered at the rainbow-colored dragon cocoon.

“Dragon veins!”

Xiao Chen was very shocked. Looking at this materialized spiritual energy, he recalled some kind of legend. Below the mother earth, there was the dragon’s vein. Within the veins, there’s a dragon. Of course, that was not a real dragon. This dragon was completely made out of spiritual energy.

No matter how much magical power one possessed, it was still very difficult to find the dragon’s vein. It was the treasure of the mother earth. It was hard to find one even within millions of square kilometers. Moreover, it was flowing unceasingly. For it to stop at one place for several hundred years was a very rare occurrence.

If the geomancy master ⌈¹⌋ could grasp the movements of the dragon’s vein and bury the dead at the place where it stopped. Legend said that the later generation of the dead would be blessed with good luck. The legendary imperial vein was related to this legend.

Of course, even if they could predict the dragon’s vein movements, it was practically impossible to grasp it. With a little change in topography, it would be rerouted millions of miles away.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but lament. The rainbow-colored treasured tree truly deserved to be called the dragon’s treasure. It was actually able to attract the spiritual energy within the dragon’s vein.

If the dragons could fuse with the materialized dragon-qi, the benefits were gargantuan. The rainbow-colored sacred tree finally revealed a secret that couldn’t be leaked to outsiders.

Without a doubt, there was currently a dragon’s vein under the Celestial City. Otherwise, even if the little sacred tree could attract the dragon-qi, it was impossible for it to gather them from thin air without the presence of the dragon’s vein.

Although the dragon-qi was very weak, it was just enough for Tenax’s evolution. Like a firework that was hanging in the air, the dragon-qi flowed steadily into the rainbow-colored dragon cocoon.

Xiao Chen didn’t dare to leave this place. He was afraid that something unexpected would occur. Keke was shocked at first, but soon after, it was brimming with curiosity. It also quietly stood guard at this place.

Time passed like this for one day and one night. The rainbow-colored dragon cocoon produced “cracking” sounds and slowly began to crack. The evolution this time was far quicker than imagined. It was actually over in just twelve hours. Xiao Chen was very expectant. Who knew how much stronger would Tenax become after this evolution. Without a doubt, its life was no longer in danger.

Just at that very instant, the rainbow-colored radiance burst forth. The brilliance caused one to be unable to open their eyes. The rainbow-colored dragon cocoon was shattered. Moreover, the radiance on the dragon cocoon faded away in a split second and the light quickly pulled back. The originally brilliant jade shell was now looking very dull. In the end, it actually disintegrated and turned into ashes.

The rays of light glinted. A white dragon that looked like it was carved out of milky white jade struggled free from the dragon cocoon. Tenax had a huge transformation, it appeared completely different from before. It changed from black into milky white. It looked as if there were water ripples flowing on its scales. It was glorious and dazzling. ⌈²⌋

Its head looked much more similar to the Ancestral Dragon. That single horn on its head disappeared. It actually grew a pair of milky jade dragon horns that couldn’t be differentiated from the genuine Ancestral Dragon’s horns.

It still possessed a panther-like body, but the glorious splendor flowing on its body made it known that its body was brimming with formidable power. That terrifying power overflowed just from the slightest movement it made.

The most astonishing thing was that, the tail that was covered by milky white scales was no longer crocodile-shaped. It actually changed into the Ancestral Dragon’s tail! This was too astonishing. One must know that the eleven Dragon Kings on the dragon island still had crocodile-shaped tails. For Tenax to have this kind of transformation, it really made one flabbergasted.

Xiao Chen came to a conclusion in that very instant. Tenax had evolved into a Dragon King!

The twelfth Dragon King was born on this very day!

That’s right, it was no longer an ordinary dragon. If those eleven Dragon Kings had not undergo any changes after they left the dragon island, then Tenax might be more powerful than them now. Because, it had undergone one evolution ahead of the eleven Dragon Kings, that was, the Ancestral Dragon’s tail!

Ancestral Dragon head, leopard-like body, Ancestral Dragon tail. It was covered with milky white scales from head to toe, as if it was made out of the most delicate white jade. To describe it with one word: Perfection!

Keke’s tiny mouth was wide open. After rubbing its big eyes in doubt, it ran over there and pinched Tenax’s tail. It looked at this one meter long resplendent jade dragon with its eyes suspiciously.

No need to doubt, Tenax had become more beautiful than before. It was no longer unsightly and unremarkable. It could even be said that it was just like the ugly duckling transforming into the white swan.

The only thing that remained the same was its attitude, it became prouder than ever. Its eyes were incomparably sharp. It seemed to be very satisfied with the evolution this time. With a light step, it transformed into a white light and leapt more than ten meters away. Its speed was extremely fast.

Xiao Chen walked over there and placed his hand on Tenax’s panther-like body. He carefully inspected the pulse within its body. The terrifying energy pulse was more forceful than he had imagined. It was like a raging ocean wave which made the radiance circulate on the surface of its body like water ripples.

Ninth Celestial Layer! ⌈³⌋

Tenax’s power was actually comparable to a Ninth Celestial Layer expert!

When they were on the dragon island, those little Dragon Kings were only around Sixth or Seventh Celestial Layer. After one year, if they hadn’t undergo any changes, then Tenax should have surpassed them already.

But that possibility was very low. Those eleven little dragons should have progressed considerably. After all, their bloodline was extraordinary. It was impossible for them not to improve.

Xiao Chen had a feeling, although Tenax’s evolution this time was very shocking, it was impossible to throw off the eleven Dragon Kings too far behind. It was very possible that the eleven Dragon Kings had already reached the Ninth Celestial Layer. It was hard to say if Tenax would be much stronger than them.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but lament. The dragons were indeed a terrifying race. Their innate ability was not something that any other race could compare to. One must know that Tenax and the eleven Dragon Kings were only born a little more than a year ago!

It was very obvious that Tenax had become very powerful. If paired with the dragon martial skill it had grasped, it might not fall far behind the genius of the north, Wuxing Feng.

Just at this time, the gentle rainbow-colored light flashed. The rainbow-colored sacred tree emerged from Tenax’s body. Keke was very happy. Lightly waving its little paw, the treasured tree flew over there. It turned the sacred tree up and down, trying to take a good look at it.

“You must work hard, don’t sleep all day long. Otherwise the sacred tree will lose its value in your hand.”

“Squeak…!” Keke protested resentfully.

Actually, Xiao Chen already knew that the snow-white little critter had a special training method. Sleeping was equivalent to training. It was also improving all these time, but it just didn’t have the opportunity to show off.

Just like usual, Keke placed the treasured tree on the cracks in hope of drawing in the dragon-qi. At this moment, the spiritual energy still hadn’t completely dispersed. However, just at that very instant, the little critter cried out in fear and quickly used the confinement technique to seal the little sacred tree. They only saw a dragon-shaped light winding around the treasured tree, trying to pull it underground.

Xiao Chen hastily rushed over there and used his palm to slam at the cracks, dispersing the dragon-qi. From this, it could be seen that there was a certain risk to draw the dragon-qi. If they were careless for a moment, they might lose the treasured tree.

What made Xiao Chen most regretful was that, due to the commotion that night, the white-shelled tortoise that was locked up in the house had escaped. He was unable to find any traces of it. ⌈⁴⌋

After resting and reorganizing for a day. Xiao Chen prepared to take Keke and Tenax to go out the next day. But just at this time, Xiao Chen felt that it was a bit troublesome. No matter how they looked at it, Tenax looked like a genuine Dragon King. If they just went out like this, it would inevitably attract too much unwanted attention. One must know that this was not just any ordinary intellectual beast. It was a Dragon King! If this news were to spread out, it would have too great of an impact.

In the end, something surprising happened. Tenax’s body actually let out “snapping” sounds and the joints all over its body moved. It actually transformed into a one meter long milky white imperial horse.

It took the shape of a fine horse. Except that it was covered by milky white scales from head to toe, as well as that pair of Ancestral Dragon Horns, it looked like a very fine divine steed.

Tenax actually had this kind of ability, it was out of Xiao Chen’s expectation.

However, despite this, the milky white imperial steed still attracted a lot of attention on the main street.

In the bustling educational street, a lot of students were among the stream of people. Xiao Chen wandered on the main street leisurely. This time, Tenax had profited from a disaster and undergone a major evolution. Because of this, Xiao Chen’s anger and killing intent already waned. He had already calmed down, but he wouldn’t let Zhuge Kun and that scum from the Reagan Family off that easily.

“Let’s go find that son of a b— from the Reagan Family first!” He already heard from Fairsky that the scum from the Reagan Family was a student from the White Elk Academy. Pushing his way through the stream of people on the educational street, he quickly arrived at the renowned White Elk Academy of the Celestial City.

The ancient perimeter wall was brimming with the vicissitudes of time. The lofty gate of the White Elk Academy was twenty meters tall. These ancient buildings had eight hundred years of history. They already existed since the academy was founded.

Even though many students in the North Style Academy knew about Xiao Chen because of the battle with Lambda last time, it didn’t mean that the students of the White Elk Academy knew about him. After all, only a minority of the students from the White Elk Academy went to watch the battle last time.

Seeing Xiao Chen standing in front of the gate with an imperial horse, a lot of students stopped to watch.

“What is this dude trying to do? No matter how you look, it seems like he wants to pick a fight.”

“It really looks like he wants to intercept a student in our academy here. Who knows how much gold coins he received to come and give vent to other people’s anger.”

Hearing the student’s discussion, Xiao Chen was a little speechless. Could it be that people frequently invited experts to come and deal with the students of the White Elk Academy?

What made Xiao Chen most surprised had yet to come. A rather handsome guy walked over and talked intimately, “Brother, I can tell you are a super expert from a single glance. You must be at least a Fifth Celestial Layer. Who are you planning to beat today? How about I introduce a business to you? A lot of people here really want to take care of that guy called Fairsky. This guy frequently comes and harasses the beautiful girls. If you can take care of the pretty boy, earning a hundred gold coins would not be a big problem. Oh, that’s right… if you can take care of the Zhuge pig head while you’re at it, you might be able to earn a lot more.”

Xiao Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Could it be that becoming a hired gun was already one kind of professions? Interesting… those two guy’s reputation was really that bad.

“Do you know Hofmann of the Reagan Family?”

“Ah, you mean that scum of the Reagan Family? Go ahead! Beat him until he’s half alive. That guy is the dreg of society. He ***** quite a number of beautiful female students before. He even has a few lives in his grasp.”

“Then, can you tell me where he is?”

“He hasn’t shown his face for the past few days, but I know he frequently goes to a certain place. There’s a place called the ‘Paradise Spa’ in the city walls. He goes there frequently to past time.”

Xiao Chen left this place quickly. That student behind him palmed his fist ⌈⁵⌋ excitedly and muttered to himself, “There’s actually someone who dares to touch that scum Hofmann. If only he could beat him half to death. Oh, this person must definitely be influential!”

The Paradise Spa was very well-known in the Celestial City. This place was filled with fine woods, and the pavilions were neatly decorated. With a faintly discernible mist, the entire place looked fantasy-like. The scenery was picturesque. The three hills in Celestial City were located at this place, although all of them were only one to two meters tall. The surroundings were enclosed by a wooden fence. The Paradise Spa occupied a wide space. It was without a doubt, the property of the city lord.

Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the Paradise Spa. The ones who came to this place were wealthy and respectable people. They didn’t allow anyone with house pets to enter. Xiao Chen ran into an acquaintance at the mountain entrance. It was Liu Yu, the third son of city lord Liu Daoming. They once stood on the same ground to defy Aeon.

“Haha… so it was brother Xiao. It felt so great when Wuxing Feng was defeated. I watched that battle from beginning to end. If it was anyone else, I definitely wouldn’t let them bring along a warbeast, but for you, I will make an exception. Oh? Is this a legendary imperial steed? Could it be a sacred beast?” Liu Yu looked at Tenax doubtfully.

“How can it be a sacred beast. It is only an intellectual beast that’s a little stronger.”

Just at this time, within the Paradise Spa, a few old men just came out from the piping hot spa. After Liu Yu saw them, he faced Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Xiao, there’s a few guests I must personally entertain today. I will drink with you some other day.”

“Alright, you go do your thing.”

“You all remember this, if Lord Xiao comes here in the future, everything will be free of charge. Moreover, you must take him to the VIP area.” After he gave the instruction to the people at the entrance, Liu Yu wore a respectful expression and went to greet the few elders that were taking a walk.

The steam was plentiful at the Paradise Spa. The fragrant flowers and plants were exuberant. Each hot spring was separated by trees and vines. Many halls could be seen everywhere.

Xiao Chen entered with Tenax and Keke. Turning left and right, he entered the so-called VIP area. Just at this time, he suddenly found a few acquaintances. It was actually Yan Qingcheng and Fairsnow. They were currently soaking in the hot spring among the floras in the front. The refreshing fragrance of flowers directly assailed his sense of smell. At the same time, he could hear the whispered conversation of the girls.

“Did I take the wrong turn?” Xiao Chen felt that this situation was far from good. How did he end up walking into the female spa?

Celestial City was very old, no one knew in which era it was established. So much so that they didn’t even know how it had emerged in the south desolate region. There were a lot of unimaginable epic sagas regarding this place. And due to its grand scale, the sagas spread far and wide, turning it into the most famous city in the immortal’s mainland.

When he flew close to the Celestial City, Xiao Chen could keenly feel the breath of vicissitudes. Although he also felt it the first time he arrived at Celestial City, it was far from comparable to now.

In front, it felt like there was an indomitable giant fast asleep over there. Yet, at the same time, it felt like an ancient space had formed into another world.

As if the oceans were surging with dreadful foaming billows, as if the boundless continent was in turmoil, the fluctuations which caused people’s heart to beat wildly penetrated the ancient space and rushed towards the present, towards the future.

It was hard to describe this feeling with words. Only by feeling it carefully would one be able to understand this inconceivable pulsation. The Celestial City was like a huge and ancient living body.

After ten odd days of training, Xiao Chen’s mental state had climbed a new flight of steps. His spiritual sense became much more condensed and more powerful than before. This was the main reason why he could feel the Celestial City’s aura much clearer than before.

Although he was not able to breakthrough the Ninth Celestial Layer, his power still increased by a lot. Especially in regards to his spiritual power. It made him come to a realization substantially different from before. Of course, in regards to the seven days he sacrificed to temper his body, it also improved to a level wherein the ordinary people couldn’t begin to fathom. To have knife blades made out of spiritual energy to keep battering the flesh and the bones…

Destruction, restoration, destruction…… so on and so forth. As if his body was a block of divine iron going through numerous revisions to eliminate the useless parts and leave behind the best features. It made his body even more tempered, as if his blood and flesh had really went through a rebirth. Xiao Chen’s corporeal body was turning into a treasure.

That’s right, that was not an exaggeration. This was the fact of reality.

If he kept training like this, then his body would change into a treasure, becoming a human weapon not only in name but also in reality. If he could train till the pinnacle, let’s not even talk about divine weapons, even going head on against the legendary divine artifacts wouldn’t pose any danger to his life.

Xiao Chen firmly believed, if he ran into a Ninth Celestial Layer expert again, his odds of victory were very high. These days, since his spirit and body had been promoted to a higher level, an ordinary expert on the same level would most likely not be his opponent.

Of course, this world was not lacking of genius. Someone like Wuxing Feng couldn’t be judged by common sense. Quinctus Techniques seemed to be able to contend against the four major techniques. If the other person recovered to the peak state and went through another transformation, he would still be an exceptionally frightening opponent.

Xiao Chen still had a long path ahead of him. He just entered the Ninth Celestial Layer recently. There was still the four major realms; Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvanna, and Immortalis. If he wanted to breakthrough the boundary of life and death, he still needed to crash his way through several bottlenecks.

The flourishing Celestial City was bustling with noise and excitement. Looking at it from a bird’s eye view, the stream of people was bustling with activities. Every street was a boiling cauldron of voices. The merchants from the north, the pharmacists and hunters from the south, the hermits from the west, all people with many different types of objectives were moving about in this famous city of the mainland.

The warbeast tournament would begin in another two months. The practitioners from all over were gathering at this place.

At the entrance of the grandiose North Style Academy, beautiful girls were entering or exiting non-stop. There was no lack of people like Zhuge Liang and Fairsky pacing back and forth in the vicinity, peeping at the beautiful ladies.

Xiao Chen landed on the courtyard. The three courtyards were extremely quiet. Sweeping the courtyards with his powerful spiritual sense, he quickly found the three skeletons and Tenax. With a flap of his Undying Divine Wings, he arrived at the second courtyard.

The three skeletons felt his aura and pushed the door open. They seemed to be in a very sorry state. The skins they wore as disguise and clothes were utterly squashed, as if they had been through a fierce battle. The spiritual light in their two eyes were also a little dim.

Tenax didn’t come out. Hinted by the three skeletons, Xiao Chen crossed a bridge and saw the tough little dragon lying on the ground in a pavilion. It was lying there by itself and licking its wound.

Its injuries were very grave. There was one terrifying wound after another all over its body, as if it was cut by sword-qi. Despite knowing that Tenax wouldn’t be endangered with a serious injury, that Tenax could arouse its hidden potential by going through a tribulation, and that it was beneficial for the tough little dragon, Xiao Chen was still a little angry.

Who did this? They actually dared to come to his residence and ruthlessly make their move.

It was easy to tell, the rock garden and pavilions at this place had once been destroyed. A new rock garden and pavilions were replaced in the shortest possible time. Even those flowers and plants were replanted.

The fresh blood flowed all over the place. It dyed the marble floor of the pavilion dark red. He could still smell the stench of blood.

Xiao Chen walked around the pavilion and discovered the seriousness of this matter. Tenax’s pair of big eyes were a little dim. It was helplessly using its tongue to lick its forelimb that was nearly cut off. The terrifying wound on its chest was still dripping blood even now. It was easy to imagine how grave was the injury at that time.

If it was any other intellectual beast, they might have died a long time ago.

“Squeak! Squeak!!” Keke shouted angrily. It jumped in front of Tenax and widened its pair of glittering big eyes, as if it was asking something.

Xiao Chen crushed the reishi mushrooms and old mountain ginsengs in Keke’s arms and smeared Tenax’s wounds with them. He was patiently treating its wounds.

“Creak~!”

A noise resounded from the entrance of the front yard. Fairsky poked his head from behind the door and walked in sneakily. His action was incompatible with his beautiful appearance. He walked over to the central courtyard carefully.

“I need an explanation, what is going on here?!”

The sudden sound caused Fairsky to stiffen due to fear. Soon after, his beautiful face turned into a smile and said, “Brother Xiao, you… are really still alive?”

This guy made people a little speechless. To say such ominous words the moment they met.

“Seriously, is that how you speak to people?”

“Hey, you can’t blame me for that. After you beat Wuxing Feng, the genius of the north, you had been missing for more than ten days. The grapevine said that even if you won, you ended up paying a disastrous price and might have perished already.”

After missing for more than ten days, this kind of rumors actually started to spread. Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

“Who charged into my place and wounded Tenax? Was it the people of the Mander Family or people sent by Aeon?” After coming to the Celestial City, Xiao Chen had a conflict with the baby girl of the Mander Family. Moreover, he ended up hurting her cousin, Lambda. However, according to the brat’s naughty personality, she definitely wouldn’t be this cruel. He felt the most likely one to make a move was Aeon.

“It was……” Fairsky was mumbling as if trying to hide something.

“Who was it?” Xiao Chen could tell he was hesitating.

“It was a brat from the Zhuge Family who doesn’t knows anything and a scum from the Reagan Family.” ⌈¹⌋

“Zhuge Family?!” Xiao Chen’s face became heavy. He only knew that ******* fatty Zhuge Liang and that drunkard Zhuge Ming from this family.

“This has nothing to do with the fatty. Although due to his discerning eyes and the ability to dig out warbeasts, he has a given position in the Zhuge Family. But according to his bloodline, he cannot be counted as a direct descendant. There was no way for his conduct to be this aggressive. What’s more, he is acquainted with you. That is even more reason why he wouldn’t do something like this.” Fairsky was slowly explaining.

The matter was very simple.

The matter regarding how the fatty had an eye on Tenax was leaked out by his subordinates. Since his insight was always accurate, no matter if it was the people in the Zhuge Family or outsiders, they wouldn’t doubt him. As a result, when this rumor was heard by the direct descendant, Zhuge Kun, he wanted to snatch Tenax before him.

But Zhuge Kun had also heard this; this was the warbeast of a man known as human-shaped Tyrannical Dragon. Those few days the news of Xiao Chen defeating Wuxing Feng was spread to a limited extent, he couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive towards this kind of young warrior.

However, a few days later when he heard on the grapevine; that although Xiao Chen had won, he ended up dead ultimately due to the seriousness of his injuries. This made Zhuge Kun unable to sit down anymore, because he had once made an old warbeast master from their family with a good eyesight to secretly observe Tenax. And his conclusion was very astonishing; Tenax had an unlimited hidden potential! It might be a young sacred beast not inferior to the Dragon Kings.

This news was really too enticing, what did it mean? It went without saying!

Zhuge Kun was very apprehensive of the Ninth Celestial Layer Xiao Chen. He didn’t dare to make his move rashly. After waiting for more than ten days and since Xiao Chen still didn’t make an appearance, he conspired to take Tenax away secretly.

Hofmann of the Reagan Family had the same goal in mind. On the same night, the two of them met up in this courtyard and began fighting over the little sacred beast. As a result, two more people arrived. Zhuge Kun and Hofmann of the Reagan Family teamed up to fend off the two on the main street.

In the end, large quantities of very able persons from the Undying Sect hurried over. Soon after, even the governor of the city lord got involved. Only then did this disturbance came to an end quickly.

All of these happened last night. They came quickly and left just as quick.

“Reagan Family……” Xiao Chen felt that it sounded familiar. He suddenly thought of those few people he met on the ancient road eight hundred miles away from Celestial City. Wasn’t that guy who called himself Kadiva from the Reagan Family? At that time, he wanted to take Tenax away by force. As a result, all of them were killed by Xiao Chen.

“Which troops did the other two plunderers come from?”

“There’s no wind about them. They’re most likely not from Celestial City. They should be experts from the north who came to participate in the warbeast tournament. Otherwise the Undying Sect and the city lord’s governor should have recognized them.” Speaking until here, Fairsky laughed and said, “Now that you are back, I bet some people are in for it, heh-heh…”

Since the older generation experts couldn’t make their move randomly, if Xiao Chen was to make his move while disregarding the consequences, it would definitely cause some people to be scared.

“To be honest, this little sacred beast is really too extraordinary. On that night, a lot of experts wanted to get it. Afterwards, because they couldn’t get it, they changed their goal and wanted to kill this little guy. As a result, it was seriously injured and on the verge of dying. No people thought that it would survive with that kind of wound in the chest. However, it created a miracle.” Speaking until here, Fairsky shook his head and said, “This tough little dragon is really too proud. It didn’t allow anyone to treat its wounds.”

Xiao Chen had returned safe and sound, so rumors would start spreading like wildfire. Fairsky had already sent the experts guarding in the vicinity away.

“Where is that ******* fatty?”

“The fatty feel embarrassed to see you. After all, Zhuge Kun is from his family.”

“Tell me the whereabouts of Zhuge Kun and Hofmann.”

The injuries Tenax received this time were really too grave. After a careful inspection, Xiao Chen found that five of its viscera and six bowels were completely destroyed. According to common sense, that was definitely certain death.

However, it was still clinging on to life. Its current state looked so miserable, so very pitiful.

After Xiao Chen’s mental state had been raised by a level, it wouldn’t be very easy to irritate him. However, he still felt very angry at the moment. Those people were really too cruel. He welled up with an intense killing intent.

Fairsky had already left. Xiao Chen was very carefully tending to Tenax. He hoped that it could get over this crisis quickly.

Another two days and two night passed. Tenax’s vision was lifeless all along. It lowered its head to lick at the wounds. It made people anxious just looking at it.

Xiao Chen thought of a way to save Tenax. Maybe only the dragon’s sacred tree could save its life!

Xiao Chen fixed the seven-colored sacred tree at Tenax’s chest. After one day and one night of attempts, he finally achieved that “synchronous pulse” with the sacred tree, just like that time on the dragon island. However, his goal this time was not to bring the little sacred tree into his body, but to implant it in Tenax’s inner organs.

The glorious radiance glinted, dense mist circulated. Under the flickering of the rainbow-colored radiance, the little sacred tree slowly “flowed” into Tenax’s body from the wounds as if it had melted.

With his third eye, Xiao Chen could clearly see the little sacred tree merging with Tenax’s inner organs. On the palm-sized tree trunk, there was a black leaf, a white leaf, a jasper leaf, and a golden leaf. They were flickering with a gentle divine radiance and illuminating those destroyed organs brightly.

Keke’s big eyes were perfectly round. It was very shocked as it looked on. It didn’t understand how the sacred tree could grow in the flesh and blood.

The hazy radiance slowly pushed Xiao Chen’s palm away. The rainbow-colored sacred tree completely cut its ties with him. Then it formed an inseparably close connection within Tenax’s body.

The pavilion was filled with brilliant lights and vibrant colors. The dazzling radiance was lingering on Tenax’s body. One after another ripple-like fluctuations were slowly discharged.

Tenax’s entire body was covered with terrifying wounds. Crystal clear liquids actually flowed out at this time. Those were not blood. After a careful observation, those were actually rainbow-colored sticky liquids.

Not long later, the crystal clear liquids covered the surface of Tenax’s body. Soon after, something shocking happened. The overflowing liquids actually wrapped Tenax within and formed a rainbow-colored sphere. No matter how they looked at it or thought about it, it looked like a huge cocoon.

A rainbow-colored dragon cocoon!

The outstanding Wuxing Feng of the North was defeated!

A young expert with epic sagas was actually defeated by an unknown youngster in the south. This outcome was really too unexpected. Perhaps a lot of people would find it hard to accept if this was to spread out.

Xiao Chen calmly stood in the sky. After adjusting his breathing for a while, he wiped the blood that was at the corner of his mouth. Then he unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and left at high speed.

Including that old man who could fly, nobody chased after him. This implied that the unwritten rule of the immortal’s mainland had great influence. The average older generation experts didn’t dare to randomly make their move against the youth generation.

However, if he dared to attack Prince Li in the future, then those older generation experts would certainly kill him without batting an eye. Only… he didn’t know if that older generation expert was a Psychic or a Spell Master. If he was a Martial Artist, then it was really too terrifying. After all, he had previously displayed the ability to defy gravity.

Xiao Chen had left. Aeon had a really ugly expression. This was really way out of his expectation. How could Wuxing Feng lose? Why did he lose? It was unimaginable. Wuxing Feng was almost unparalleled among his peers in the North. Except for one or two persons, he was practically invincible.

A youth with long black hair and ice-cold expression silently walked out from an attic. He arrived beside Aeon and said, “Ten days later, I will challenge Xiao Chen.”

When Aeon turned his head and noticed that it was ‘him’, he shook his head and said, “No! Wuxing Feng already lost, you cannot make your move as you wish anymore. After all, Windfeathers, Zhao Chongyang, and the Solitary Sword Demon of the South haven’t make their move yet.”

On the other side, the elites had complicated feelings. This battle had too great an impact on them. The fall of Wuxing Feng brought about Xiao Chen’s glory. A south desolate region expert would suddenly emerge from this.

There was no hero that could remain undefeated, the undefeatable saga of the north was smashed at this point. Xiao Chen’s name would thereby spread all over the world. Perhaps there was a need to rerank the top three of the south.

Fairsnow, Katalina, and the other beauties were slightly disappointed. The former genius of the north fell right before their eyes. Like a cloud dispersed by the wind, their dreams had been shattered. That’s how it should be, there was no such thing as an undefeatable hero……

Yan Qingcheng was feeling the most complicated. She really hoped that Xiao Chen would lose, but she didn’t want him to sustain a serious injury. She hoped that she could borrow Wuxing Feng’s strength to vent her resentment. However, she found that during the course of the fierce battle, her mood was fluctuating violently. It was very hard to understand it clearly.

After unfolding the Undying Divine Wings, he covered several dozen meters in a flash. Xiao Chen returned to his room in the shortest time possible. He grabbed Keke who was snoring like a pig, then he called Tenax and the three skeletons over, requesting them to stand guard outside the door. After that, he began to execute the secret art to heal himself.

Although he defeated the opponent, he was still injured by that crazy Wuxing Feng. Moreover, the condition of the injuries was very grave.

The eleven energy waves formed from the fusion of the Fist of Water and the Fist of Fire were extremely powerful. Even if Xiao Chen had advanced to the Ninth Celestial Layer, it was not easy to fend it off. In the course of the battle, he had continuously spat out seven to eight mouthfuls of blood.

His body burst with a splendid radiance. His skin was flickering with a brilliant lustre. The flow of energy looked as if it had materialized and wrapped his body within. The worldly essence came together from all directions and rushed towards Xiao Chen’s body. He was restoring his body with the essence of the sun, the moon, and the plants.

It was possible to see it with naked eyes; specks of green light were drifting around the flowers and plants in the garden, even the trees on both sides of the nearby street were affected. This was a crazy plundering, Xiao Chen’s body was like a magnet depriving everything in the surroundings of their life essence.

It lasted until two hours later, his body was pulsing with searing divine flames. The raging inferno ignited with a glorious radiance. Only now did the condition of his injuries stabilize.

The injuries he received this time were very grave. If not because he had once absorbed the essence of a few dragon eggs, which made his vitality far more vigorous compared to ordinary people, he might have been in big trouble this time around. Even his power might be affected and would require a long time to recuperate.

The divinized acupoints seemed to possess infinite vitality and stabilized his wounds in a short time. Xiao Chen let out a long breath as he pushed the door open.

He must recover as quickly as possible. Otherwise who knew what would happen in this Celestial City.

Xiao Chen grabbed Keke and soared into the sky. He unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and flew outside of the Celestial City.

The boundless south desolate region; no signs of human habitation could be seen for thousands of miles away. The entire region was covered by barren hills. The Celestial City was like a resplendent pearl located in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by an endless sea of trees.

Outside of the city was an unending mountain wood. Xiao Chen found a mountain with a flat top and landed there.

A waterfall let out a deafening sound from the imposing mountain top ahead, plunging three thousand feet down from the precipice to the foot of the mountain.

On the other three directions, the green mountain-like valley was exuberant, the roar of the wild beasts lingered on, and the figure of the monsters could be seen from time to time.

Xiao Chen had a really serious expression as he told Keke, “I want to train here. Don’t let any beasts approach me. You must secure my safety.”

The snow-white little critter blinked its eyes without a care in the world. After that, it nodded its head in affirmation. Its snow-white body left a few afterimages on the flat mountain top as it was sizing up the surroundings.

Xiao Chen relaxed his body. His mind submerged into an ethereal state and he became illusory very quickly. It was if he had blended into the nature and became a part of this mountain.

The snow-white little Keke curiously blinked its glittering big eyes as it looked at the flowers, grasses, and trees unceasingly trembling all around it. Large quantities of plant essence emerged and one green radiance after another lingered on the mountain top.

The exuberant forest was filled with plants everywhere. It was brimming with boundless plant essence. One after another, tiny green specks were drawn into Xiao Chen’s body. The vigorous life force circulated in his body, delivering endless amounts of life energy to his flesh, inner organs, and bones.

With the elapse of time, the green life energy from all directions could be seen clearly with naked eyes. A dense green mist lingered on Xiao Chen’s surroundings.

Two days had passed. Xiao Chen’s injuries were fully recovered and his body was surging with energy, but he still continued to train.

Night-time, the moonlight was hazy. The bright moonlight spilled down. Although the roar of the beasts kept resounding from a distant place, Xiao Chen was still as motionless as the boulder. At this moment, his mind was in peace. The four major techniques, God Slayer, Chaotic Patterns, Demon Suppression, and Death Blow left a mark in his sea of consciousness. It made his comprehension of the four major techniques even more profound than ever.

The Imprint of Dao, hard to carve and polish, impossible to grasp, but one could slowly approach it with an ethereal frame of mind.

This was one kind of comprehension, one kind of experience. Xiao Chen felt that his mental state was rising to a higher level. His body was not moving, yet his mind was moving. It seemed as if the entire world had become brighter.

Every kind of feeling came thick and fast.

Among the bright stars in the sky, a meteor streaked past. It was only for a moment, but it was gorgeous. Xiao Chen’s mind was stirred up accordingly. Life was like a dream, just like the shooting star. The ordinary lifespan was only of a hundred years, it came and went so fast. Compared to the universe, it was really too short.

The transformations of the world passed by quickly throughout the time. Who would still remember that short duration of life? Compared to the everlasting world, that period of life experiences was really too insignificant.

However, it was short yet beautiful. Life was just like a shooting star, it was also possible to shine brightly and advance towards a single direction for all eternity.

Life could also be everlasting!

One must go down the correct path and rouse up to the light of immortality!

Xiao Chen had grasped an Imprint of Dao, he had found the path that he should take and cut open the layers upon layers of dense fog. His mental state had rose yet another flight of steps.

Time passed by quickly. Seven days passed by in the blink of an eye.

The moonlight was like the water. Under the same starry sky, Xiao Chen’s mental state was not at all the same.

These past seven days, he couldn’t feel the elapse of time. He seemed to have blended into the nature. His body and mind had become one with this flat mountain top. He was connected to this primitive mountain range and became a part of the world.

It seemed as if he could hear the sound of the trees and flowers, as if he could understand the inner voice of the birds and beasts, as if he could feel the pulse of the mother earth. It was as if he had really become one with this thriving world. As if he had already become a leaf, a flower, a tree, or a mountain. It seemed as if he had been sitting there since the ancient times.

The breeze brushed past lightly, every kind of flower fragrance slowly spread out in the forest. Xiao Chen was having the dreams of a butterfly ⌈¹⌋. He didn’t know if he had become a part the mountain range, or if the mountain range had become a part of him.

The gentle moonlight was like the water ripple, it made this forest seem as if it had been covered by a layer of indistinct silk. Xiao Chen stood on the summit and looked up at the unlimited starry sky. He seemed to have passed through the bounds of space and had entered that unlimited starry sky.

The radiance of the morning sun broke the darkness.

Rays of golden light spilled on the primitive mountain woods. The unlimited vitality spread out like a ripple. The cries of the apes and the roars of the tigers, the chirps of the birds and the screeches of the insects, the lively world revealed itself before Xiao Chen’s eyes. He had already awakened.

He faced upwards and let out a long howl. Xiao Chen’s body was like a vast body of water, the vital energy gathered from all directions like rivers running into the sea. The essence of the sun, the moon, and the plants all gathered together. One after another faintly discernible sacred radiances were circulating within Xiao Chen’s body. They were replenishing his physical body like a sweet dew, making his inner organs, bones, and flesh to overflow with a layer of splendor.

Since his mental state had already been upgraded, he was tempering his corporeal body!

Endless amounts of worldly essence flowed into his flesh over and over again like a river. In the end, as more worldly essence gathered, the river gradually solidified and became sharp blades as they streaked across his flesh. ⌈²⌋

Sharp pain!

Endure!

It was as if there were countless swords passing through Xiao Chen’s flesh and bones unceasingly. His body was tempered over and over, as if his human flesh was being forged into an everlasting body.

Another seven days had passed. The spiritual energy dispersed to all directions.

Like the cloud dispersed by the wind, it was as if nothing had happened at all.

“Let’s go, it’s about time we return to the Celestial City. You gluttonous little thing, you didn’t protect me and actually went to search for spiritual items.” Xiao Chen carried Keke in his arms, and Keke was carrying a pile of reishi mushrooms and old mountain ginsengs in its arms.

“Squeak! Squeak!!” The snow-white little critter protested.

“After the battle, I have been missing for more than ten days. I’m sure something interesting should have happened in the Celestial City.” Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and flew towards the Celestial City.

Xiao Chen broke through to the Ninth Celestial Layer. Everyone was incomparably shocked. Transforming in desperate straits, advancing to a new domain in a life and death battle, this was a practitioner’s most dangerous experience. Without huge courage or willpower, it was impossible to get through.

After advancing to the same level, Xiao Chen was no longer fearful of Wuxing Feng. He was as quick as the thunder, his figure disappeared like the lightning and closed in with every step. He made his move brazenly, no longer shrinking back.

Swish!

Like a meteor catching up to the moon, Xiao Chen quickly appeared in front of Wuxing Feng and sent a fist covered with gold radiance towards his chest. The space appeared to be distorted. The surroundings seemed to turn somewhat fuzzy. The oppressive gale directly caused the debris and broken beams on the ground to break into pieces and let out creaking noises.

Wuxing Feng lifted his fist to meet the attack. Two fists intersected and produced a sonorous metal noise. The glorious brilliance radiated. The two seemed to be draped in a layer of gold radiance. They looked like two wargods in a fierce battle.

They separated quickly. Wuxing Feng felt a numbness in his arm. He was secretly shocked at Xiao Chen’s great power. The Quinctus footwork was incomparably exquisite. As if he was capable of teleporting, he disappeared into empty air with each step he took. He broke away from the mighty Xiao Chen in two or three steps.

The skills were almost like the profound truth, his motions were mysterious and unpredictable. Wuxing Feng adjusted his posture a little and his legs were executing the Quinctus steps. His body was just like a stream of clouds as he attacked Xiao Chen again. He didn’t want to remain passive. He had been unparalleled since birth and always took the initiative to attack. He didn’t want to take it lying down.

With an extremely powerful Quinctus Fist, he leapt forward and firmly locked onto Xiao Chen’s chest. The dusky qi of earth spread out, the power of the Fist of Earth wanted to run through Xiao Chen’s chest. At the same time, he lifted up the right knee with all of his might. The knee was aiming for Xiao Chen’s lower abdomen.

The dusky sand was omnipresent, but this was not a genuine sandstorm. This was a terrifying earth energy made from dreadful rays of light. The attack was as quick as the thunder. The simultaneous attack with the fist and the leg had sealed off Xiao Chen’s every move.

Xiao Chen moved a little sideway, facing Wuxing Feng’s fist with both hands. At the same time, he shook his hips to abruptly release the power he had accumulated. As if he had released a bowstring, his body was suddenly filled with power. At the same time he sandwiched the Fist of Earth with both arms, his right leg struck at the opposite direction.

“Clang!” As if two divine metals had been struck together, Xiao Chen’s right knee clashed with Wuxing Feng’s left knee. The dusky qi of earth and gold radiance dissipated at the same time. It was spilling like a wide expanse of aurora.

The two’s movements were as fast as lightning. At the same time he fell back a little, Xiao Chen jumped two meters high. Just when he was about to descend, he twisted his waist with all his might and swept his leg across. A horizontal kick! His left foot was like a mace as it swept towards the right side of Wuxing Feng’s head. It was an extremely brutal attack that caused fear and trepidation. If it was a direct hit, not to mention human flesh, even adamantium would break apart.

Wuxing Feng slightly lowered his head. After he dodged this attack, he suddenly made a somersault and sent an overhead kick towards Xiao Chen’s chest. Xiao Chen’s figure was still in the sky and there was not enough time to move. Such a brutal attack really caused people to be tongue-tied.

Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. If he unfolded the Undying Divine Wings, he could easily soar into the sky. However, dodging was not his style. While in the sky, he shifted his body half a meter to the side. He was not willing to move back any more than this. After that, both of his legs joined together like an unbreakable awl as he directly stabbed towards the chest of Wuxing Feng, who was still upside down.

Wuxing Feng was forced to fly backwards in that position. All of these happened too quickly. From the beginning to the end, it all happened in a split second. They left behind a wide expanse of afterimages in the sky.

After that, Xiao Chen stomped on the empty air. He actually took more than ten consecutive steps in the air and chased after Wuxing Feng. His body was slanted as he swept across Wuxing Feng’s upper body. He wanted to cut his body off.

Anger bubbled up within Wuxing Feng. It was always him who forced his opponents into the corner, but today, it had turned around. This opponent was more vicious than him. He was incomparably sharp. Wuxing Feng abruptly turned his body around, then he jumped high into the sky. He didn’t want to fall back. He sent a somersault kick and slashed towards Xiao Chen’s attack.

“Bang!”

The sky exploded with dazzling radiance. The two were separated.

“God Slayer!”

Xiao Chen was really too fast. The instant he landed, he attacked again. He directly executed God Slayer, one of the four major techniques. After advancing to the Ninth Celestial Layer today, his attack power was no longer weaker than the opponent’s and he made his move brazenly. He wanted to overwhelm his opponent with absolute strength and give him a taste of his own medicine.

“Fist of Iron!”

Wuxing Feng shouted loudly, his black hair was like a waterfall that was flowing backwards ⌈¹⌋. The sharp glints in his eyes were like swords. The right fist with glorious gold radiance was launched.

The violent clash was like an earthquake. It made the mother earth burst open. Wuxing Feng was forced to fall back five steps. Xiao Chen did not fall back, on the contrary, he continued moving forward.

“Chaotic Patterns!”

He shouted loudly. Xiao Chen once more clashed with Wuxing Feng.

“Fist of Wood!” Wuxing Feng’s eyes sparked with electricity ⌈²⌋. His fist erupted with resplendent green radiance. Two fists clashed! In that instance he felt his arms getting numb. His body trembled slightly as the surge of energy seemed like it wanted to intrude his body.

Wuxing Feng was shocked as he fell back one more time. Xiao Chen had become dominant and didn’t want to spare him. He shouted his next move, “Demon Suppression!”

The gale carried by the fist was incomparably wild. It ferociously smashed towards Wuxing Feng’s face. Wuxing Feng had no choice but to block it with the Fist of Water.

It was as if there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky when the two clashed head on!

The dazzling energy storm swept towards all directions. Wuxing Feng fell back, Xiao Chen followed up again!

A continuous attack with the four major techniques and the Demonic Seal. It was obvious that Xiao Chen wanted to get revenge for the “clash” before. The so-called “using an opponent’s own methods to obtain retribution”.

One ferocious punch was followed up by another!

The energy burst out unceasingly. Dazzling multicolored radiances shrouded their surroundings. It was rolling over and over like the stormy sea.

Every spectator was incomparably shocked. The two powerful warriors gave them too many surprises. Especially Xiao Chen who actually turned a losing battle around and steadily suppressed the outstanding Wuxing Feng. It was too unexpected.

Loud roars burst out unceasingly. Xiao Chen was as quick as lightning. His fist became heavier with each consecutive blow. Wuxing Feng was finally unable to bear it anymore after the eighteenth fist. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

“Ah!!!”

“How is this possible?!”

The elites of the south and Aeon’s people cried out in surprise. The fabled outstanding talent of the north was actually no match for Xiao Chen.

His attacks were sharp and closed in with every step. Xiao Chen’s messy hair flew upward as he brazenly made his move. He didn’t give Wuxing Feng any chance to dodge. All of the sharp attacks were connected beautifully. It gave Wuxing Feng no other choice but to receive the attack. He was unable to dodge, unless he was willing to put his life on the line and receive one terrifying punch head on.

After the thirty sixth punch, Wuxing Feng let out a bellow of rage. He was finally unable to stand it anymore. His body was sent flying away. A big mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.

“Hey!” Xiao Chen followed closely. His movement was extremely sharp. He launched an attack just as fierce as before, without any flashy move. An invisible “power” enveloped Wuxing Feng. He wanted to force the opponent to receive it head on, giving him no chance to dodge, unable to dodge.

Another nine consecutive punches. Wuxing Feng was continuously coughing up blood. Xiao Chen felt extremely content. He had already avenged his previous defeat by beating him into this sorry state.

Just at this moment, everyone already had different expressions. Their gaze hinted their different thoughts. They had deeply engraved Xiao Chen’s power into their brain.

“Bang!”

With one last punch, he sent Wuxing Feng flying away!

A bunch of blood sprinkled in the air. Wuxing Feng had already crashed into a few big halls.

Xiao Chen jumped into the sky and swooped down. With a powerful punch, he buried Wuxing Feng into the ground. Only half of his body remained to be seen on the surface of the ground.

After that, another seven consecutive strikes. The mother earth burst open. Wuxing Feng was forced into the underground ⌈³⌋. A river of blood was spilling out from the hole.

Everyone was flabbergasted. Did the outstanding talent of the north get defeated just like this? A fabled figure, a young warrior full of exciting sage, finished just like this?

Without a doubt, Wuxing Feng’s reputation was really great. Everyone at present didn’t dare to believe it. The undefeatable genius of the north was actually blown into the ground and beaten until he coughed up big mouthfuls of blood……

“You forced my hand!” An ice-cold voice transmitted from within the cracks. Wuxing Feng was like a wounded beast as he let out a bellow of rage. The mother earth burst open. With bloodstains from head to foot, he rushed to the surface ⌈⁴⌋.

“Fusing the five phases is still impossible for him, but I can barely fuse two phases. You will pay for this! ⌈⁵⌋” Wuxing Feng had already lost his calm demeanor. He spread out both of his arms. The left hand with the Fist of Water, the right hand with the Fist of Fire. The water and fire fused, a powerful attack was put forth.

Rumbling sounds filled the heavens and earth, there were thousand layers of stormy waves!

The blue radiance and raging flames enveloped the sky. All of them were thrown at Xiao Chen.

Swish!

Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and soared into the sky. The corners of his mouth curved into a sneer as he said, “Don’t even mention two phases, so what even if you can fuse five phases?”

Unfolding the Undying Divine Wings, Xiao Chen flew against the stream and headed towards the eye of the storm. He executed the Demon Suppression and the Chaotic Patterns towards Wuxing Feng, the source of the fire and water.

Everyone was incomparably shocked. This Xiao Chen was really too intensive, he was actually facing the legendary Quinctus Fusion head on. Although there were only two phases, the power was still incomparably astonishing. Two phases fusion, Wuxing Feng was not very accustomed with it, but he was still capable of bringing out its potential. According to rumors, they said he defeated a formidable opponent with this move. Since then, no one had seen him using this move again.

“Aqua Ignis!”

Wuxing Feng’s shout was transmitted from the eye of the storm. The Fist of Water and the Fist of Fire combined. Xiao Chen and Wuxing Feng shook violently. Their bodies continued to tremble.

“This is it!” Just as Xiao Chen’s voice resounded. His expression immediately changed, because he found that the power he neutralized was only the first wave. Right now, another power was violently surging up.

At the same time, the qi of fire and water lingered under the eye of the storm, under Wuxing Feng’s feet. They transformed into a blue and red light as they lifted his body up from the ground.

The second energy wave surged up violently!

Xiao Chen’s eyes were sharp. He sent a ferocious punch and neutralized the second wave.

However, Wuxing Feng was actually lifted off the ground with the power of fire and water. He was pushed into the sky by the two energies of the Quinctus qi. At the same time, his crossed hands burst out with the third wave.

Xiao Chen shouted loudly, God Slayer and Demon Suppression were executed at the same time. Both of his hands were shaking uncontrollably. Two different powers spiralled up and clashed with the third wave.

A brittle noise resounded. The energy wave shattered.

However, the third wave was obviously not the end. It seemed like it was just the beginning. Multicolored radiance circulated all around Wuxing Feng’s body, he was like the incarnation of a Quinctus wargod. His battle intent was skyrocketing. He crossed both hands again and burst forth with the fourth wave.

Very clearly, the next wave was stronger than the last!

However, Wuxing Feng also paid a huge price. He was coughing out big mouthfuls of blood. This proved that he was in a terrible shape. This kind of water-fire fusion power was not something that he could completely control at his current state. If he was not forced into a corner, he definitely wouldn’t use this rashly.

It was a double-edged sword!

Xiao Chen’s expression also became heavy. He didn’t know how many more incoming waves were there. He had no choice but to resist with everything he had.

Everyone on the ground was incomparably shocked. Wuxing Feng could actually defy the gravity, they had never heard of it before. If not because a powerful variable like Xiao Chen had appeared in the south and forced Wuxing Feng to launch his most powerful technique, perhaps no one would ever know about this divine ability of his!

The fourth wave finally burst forth. Xiao Chen was surrounded by the energy wave. Left hand with the Chaotic Patterns, right hand with the Demon Suppression. He executed his moves brazenly and neutralized the energy wave again.

It was an intense confrontation. The ground battle changed into a sky battle!

The two in the sky flew higher and higher. They exchanged one blow after another.

Five waves, six waves, seven waves, eight waves……

Wuxing Feng coughed a big mouthful of blood, and Xiao Chen was also coughing out blood unceasingly. This Wuxing Feng was really too crazy. He already executed eight waves, and yet, he didn’t have any indication to stop.

After the ninth wave, Xiao Chen finally felt like he was about to collapse. If it was not because he had advanced to the Ninth Celestial Layer, he might have been crushed a long time ago. This Wuxing Feng was really fanatically crazy!

He was really too powerful among the peers, almost unparallelled!

Too strong!

Xiao Chen was stained by blood all over. The powerful pressure caused traces of blood to seep out from his skin. He had practically become a bloodman. But was still able to fend off the ninth wave.

Nine was equivalent to the highest number, but it did not stop right there. The tenth wave was coming! Xiao Chen almost went crazy. He couldn’t shrink back, he mustn’t shrink back. He burst out after unfolding his full power.

In the end, he was able to stop the tenth wave!

He coughed out a big mouthful of blood. Xiao Chen’s injuries were not light.

Of course, Wuxing Feng paid a bigger price. He was coughing out blood from start to finish. By forcefully using this water-fire fusion forbidden move, his body suffered a grave injury.

The eleventh wave was incoming! ⌈⁶⌋

Xiao Chen was incomparably exhausted. After detecting the approaching danger, it really made him want to collapse on the spot. This Wuxing Feng was consuming his own life to fight him. This was a move that would end up with both sides suffering.

However, he still couldn’t help but admire him. Such a powerful and bizarre attack; one wave after another, stronger than the former. And he actually executed eleven waves.

The invisible truth, the Imprint of Dao was flowing sluggishly in Xiao Chen’s mind. His frantic movements gradually became more stable, both of his hands drew a beautiful maneuver. At this most dangerous time, Xiao Chen made his body and mind enter an ethereal state. He displayed a posture entirely different from before. No longer frantic, no longer violent, his body was like the formless cloud and the blowing wind, completely out-of-this-world.

However, at the moment when he was about to attack, the energy that burst out from both his hands was as frenzy as before!

Crumble!

The eleventh wave finally fell apart!

Meanwhile, Wuxing Feng was also at his limit. One after another, terrifying wounds appeared on his body. He couldn’t control his own power and suffered the side effects as a result. It was finally over. He stood high in the sky and faced Xiao Chen. After a light sigh, he said, “They say that… there are a lot of extraordinary talents in the south. Although it is an uncivilized territory, the practitioners here are not weaker than the north’s!”

Everyone on the ground looked up at the sky. Since the two young warriors were high in the sky and were very far from the ground, they couldn’t hear the conversation between the two. However, they could vaguely tell that this battle was coming to a close!

“On the way to the south desolate region, a young warrior from the south blocked our way and challenged me. The battle ended in a tie, with both of us seriously hurt.”

Xiao Chen was incomparably shocked. He asked, “Who is that person?” There was actually a Ninth Celestial Layer young warrior who intercepted Prince Li’s party and confronted Wuxing Feng. Such a madman!

“I don’t know.” Wuxing Feng shook his head and said, “Since I made my public appearance until now, I have never lost once. However, it is beyond my imagination to get one draw and one loss after entering the south for ten short days, it’s so frustrating.” He fixed his eyes on Xiao Chen and said, “If I did not possess a serious injury and held back at the beginning, I wouldn’t have lost today. I will not lose!”

Xiao Chen finally understood why he could barely fend off his attacks with the power of the Eight Celestial Layer. The other party was seriously hurt. If it was not because Wuxing Feng was holding back, he might not have been able to advance to the Ninth Celestial Layer!

“If I am in my peak condition, I will not lose even if you advance to the Ninth Celestial Layer! You won’t be able to stand up to me!” Wuxing Feng was very unwilling.

Xiao Chen faced Wuxing Feng and shook his head, “I will not lose!”

At this very moment, Wuxing Feng finally hit his limit. He fell head first from high altitude after the last words were said.

Without waiting for Xiao Chen to move, a green radiance rose from the ground. An old man grabbed Wuxing Feng and retreated.

The spectators knew, this battle was over. Xiao Chen had won!

Everyone was very astonished. The fabled undefeatable Wuxing Feng was actually defeated by Xiao Chen.

Zhuge Ming, Lancelot, Yan Qingcheng, Fairsnow, Katalina, and the others had incomparably complicated expressions. They had witnessed everything and felt very perplexed.

Especially the beauties of the south. Each young lady had a hero in their heart. Wuxing Feng had made his name known in the north and the south since he was a juvenile. He was a peerless young expert with the most epic saga and had unavoidably left a deep impression in their heart. But today, this hero had collapsed right in front of them……
