"I'll fight with you!" Chen Xiao sat up with a groan.
A sharp pain hit his whole body from his lower abdomen, and Chen Xiao gasped in pain.
Just last night, he was responsible for patrolling the family's mines. He was suddenly attacked by ten men in black. They fought hard. Unfortunately, his Dantian was kicked to pieces by one of them.
After falling into coma, he was carried back to his family. When he woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day.
…
Qingshan City, Chen Family Hall.
"Chen Xiaoxiu is deposed and the quota to enter Baiyun Martial Academy will be inherited by Chen Shan."
The speaker was an old man wearing a black robe.
Behind the old man, there was a young man standing with a faint smile on his lips and a high-spirited look. This man was Chen Shan.
There were many people standing on both sides of the hall, including other elders and deacons of the Chen family.
When the Baiyun Martial Arts Academy was mentioned, the entire hall became awe-inspiring. It was the largest martial arts academy in the Baiyun Kingdom and a place that countless people yearned for.
Baiyun Martial Arts Academy allocates some special quotas every year. For example, some family geniuses can directly join the Martial Arts Academy without assessment.
A year ago, Chen Xiao was born, sweeping away the masters of his generation in Qingshan City and becoming the leader of the younger generation.
Just a month ago, the quota for the Wuyuan was sent to the Chen family. They hoped that Chen Xiao would rush to the Wuyuan to report before the end of the year.
There were only two months before the end of the year. At this time, news came that Chen Xiao's dantian had ruptured.
Everyone around him was filled with envy.
The assessment of Baiyun Immortal Mansion is extremely strict. The entire Baiyun Kingdom has a population of billions, but Baiyun Martial Academy only recruits a few thousand people every year.
As you can imagine, the competition is fierce.
You can join the Baiyun Martial Arts Academy without taking any exams. No wonder it attracts countless envious looks.
"This loser wants to take my place!"
Not far from the main hall, a young man was walking towards the main hall.
The young man was wearing a tight-fitting robe that was in tatters and stained with a lot of blood, as if to tell everyone how tragic the battle last night was.
The person who came was none other than Chen Xiao.
He can refuse the quota, but he will never allow anyone to take it from him.
If you want a spot, you must first ask for your permission.
Seeing Chen Xiao, a cold sarcasm appeared on the corner of Chen Shan's mouth.
The elders in the main hall frowned.
The great elder in black robes had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
"Chen Xiao, your Dantian is broken and you are nothing but a waste. How can you compare with Master Chen Shan?"
A Chen family guard rushed out. This person's name was Chen Shi. He had been respectful to Chen Xiao before, but today he was the first to stand up and laugh at Chen Xiao.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Although Chen Xiao's Dantian was shattered, his physical strength was still there, and he suddenly punched Chen Shi with unrivaled force.
Just as Chen Shi was about to speak, Chen Xiao appeared in front of him like a tiger, and his fist as big as a casserole hit Chen Shi's head hard.
"boom!"
Chen Shi felt as if his head was going to explode and he fell to the ground.
Chen Xiao did not stop there. The little guard also dared to provoke him. Today, he let everyone know that even if his Dantian was destroyed, not everyone could manipulate him at will.
Chen Shi was about to get up, but Chen Xiao stepped down hard. The sole of his foot crushed Chen Shi's left face, pressing his head to the ground and rubbing it hard.
"Isn't Chen Xiao's Dantian destroyed? How could he defeat Chen Shi with one punch? He is at the third level of Qi Gathering!"
The other Chen family disciples around were whispering to each other and were shocked by Chen Xiao's actions.
In Baiyun Kingdom, warriors are divided into Qi Gathering Realm, Spirit Gathering Realm, Dan Gathering Realm, Yuan Gathering Realm... until Lingwu Realm.
Although Chen Shi was weak, he was still at the third level of Qi Gathering, but he was knocked down by Chen Xiao with one punch, which made many people look at Chen Xiao with admiration.
"presumptuous!"
In the main hall, the black-robed elder shouted loudly.
After saying that, he looked like a dragon and appeared in front of Chen Xiao with a sliding step, and then slapped Chen Xiao hard with his palm.
The wind from the palm was so sharp that the surrounding air suddenly condensed.
Chen Xiao's face darkened. This great elder had always been against him. This time he was injured in the mine. In all likelihood, it was caused by someone he knew.
He clenched his fists, and all the muscles in his body bulged, instantly shattering the tattered robe on his body. The next moment, he raised his fists and punched the great elder's palm fiercely.
"boom!"
The fists and palms collided, forming a powerful shock wave that exploded in the hall.
Chen Xiao took several steps back, and the Great Elder also took one step back.
"This is impossible. He actually resisted the Great Elder's palm."
One of the deacons exclaimed. The Great Elder was at the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm. He was very powerful and was considered one of the top masters in Qingshan City.
The eldest elder was also frightened. He knew that Chen Xiao was extremely talented, and the Chen family had spent a lot of resources on him over the years. Chen Xiao had been guarding the mine all these years, and he had done his duty well.
However, I didn't expect that Chen Xiao's fighting power was so strong that he could compete with the Soul Gathering Realm without losing just with his physical body.
Just when Chen Shi was about to get up and attack Chen Xiao, a huge foot descended from the sky and stomped him back hard again.
"Die!"
Chen Xiao became murderous and suddenly exerted force on his feet. He hated the villain who sneaked up from behind.
"Crack!"
In front of everyone, Chen Shi's head was torn apart and crushed directly by Chen Xiao's kick.
The red and white stuff sprayed on the walls of the hall, and everyone covered their mouths to prevent themselves from spitting out.
This scene made everyone stunned. This Chen Xiao was so arrogant and domineering.
"Chen Xiao, you are brave."
It was too late for the elder to stop him, and Chen Shi was trampled to death by Chen Xiao.
"I'm going through life and death outside, but it's good for you to join forces and take away my place in the martial arts academy. Who is the bold one?"
Chen Xiao looked directly at the great elder without flinching, with murderous intent surging.
Qingshan City is not big, with only over one million people. Looking at the entire Baiyun Kingdom, it is only a drop in the ocean.
For decades, no one in Qingshan City has obtained a place in the martial arts academy.
Ever since Chen Xiao obtained the place in the martial arts academy, Qingshan City has not stopped. Chen Xiao has lost count of how many attacks it has suffered in this month.
"Elders, Chen Xiao kills someone in public. According to clan rules, what should we do?"
Chen Shan walked out of the hall, sneered, and cast a provocative gaze on Chen Xiao.
"According to clan rules, you should behead your head as a warning to others."
Soon, people around him echoed, and even the elders nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of guards rushed out from a distance, preparing to capture Chen Xiao.
"Chen Shan, you are trying to steal my place in the martial arts academy. It's hard to convince everyone. Why don't we set a deadline of one month. After one month, if you defeat me, you will naturally get the place in the martial arts academy. If you can't, no one can even think about what belongs to me." Take it from me."
Chen Xiao's tone suddenly softened. He knew the rules of the Chen family very well.
According to clan rules, the highest order to kill a guard is to be beheaded in public, and the lowest order is to be exiled to the frontier.
Everyone looked at Chen Shan. Chen Xiao's words sounded fine.
Everyone knew how Chen Shan got the spot in the martial arts academy. If he was not the grandson of the great elder, how could he possibly get his turn.
If Chen Xiao was defeated in public, it would be another matter.
"What if I say no?"
Chen Shan was not angry and looked at Chen Xiao with a smile.
"You will agree because you need a reasonable excuse. Only by defeating me can you prove that you are stronger than me. Only in this way can you get a place in the martial arts academy."
The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth curled up slightly. In terms of age, Chen Shan was one year older than him. In terms of character, Chen Xiao was far ahead of Chen Shan.
"I agree to your conditions, but if you have to go to the stage of life and death, do you dare?"
The stage of life and death.
There was an uproar in the venue.
A fierce murderous intention flashed in Chen Shan's eyes. He wanted to use the Life and Death Platform to kill Chen Xiao and tell everyone that he was the number one genius in Qingshan City.
Within the Chen family, only real enemies of life and death will be resolved on the stage of life and death.
Once on the stage of life and death, you will be responsible for life and death.
"Can!"
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he turned and left the Chen family hall.
Watching Chen Xiao leave, no one stopped him.
"Grandson, you don't have to agree!"
The great elder looked at Chen Shan and didn't understand why Chen Shan agreed. Chen Xiao's Dantian was already useless, so why should he behave like a useless person.
"Because I don't want people to talk about me behind my back. I relied on you to get a place in the martial arts academy. I want to defeat him openly."
A trace of ferocity flashed across Chen Shan's face, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost condensed into substance.
Hearing this, the great elder nodded. Chen Shan's words made sense.
Chen Xiao walked through the corridor and returned to his courtyard.
"Xiao, are you okay?"
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a tough-headed young man rushed into the courtyard. When he came in, he grabbed Chen Xiao's body and inspected it carefully.
The young man who came in was named Chen Hu. As his name suggests, he was Chen Xiao's best friend.
"I'm fine."
Chen Xiao forced a smile on his face and felt much better when he saw Chen Hu.
"I heard on the way here that your Dantian was shattered and you were scheduled to fight to the death with Chen Shanshan in a month. Is this true?"
Chen Hu had a worried look on his face. He had lost his Dantian and was unable to store his true energy. From then on, he basically said goodbye to the path of cultivation.
"kindness!"
Chen Xiao nodded.
"You are confused. That Chen Shan clearly wants to kill you, and you still promised him. If it were before, you would naturally not be afraid, but your Dantian..."
Chen Hu was so worried that he was wondering where to find the magic elixir to repair his Dantian in one month.
"Only in this way can I survive!"
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. Even if he didn't kill Chen Shi, the Great Elder would find a way to get rid of him secretly. Killing Chen Shi was actually Chen Xiao's intention to buy himself a month.
"These are a few pills stolen from my father's study. You swallow them first. I will go away and hide for two days. I will come back to see you in two days."
After Chen Hu finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, stuffed it into Chen Xiao's hand, and ran out quietly.
Looking at Chen Hu's back, Chen Xiao felt a warm current in his heart. It was worth having such a brother in his life.
Pouring out the pills, there were three body tempering pills in total. One pill was worth one thousand gold coins, three pills was worth three thousand gold coins. Before Chen Xiao was injured, his monthly salary was only one hundred gold coins.
No wonder Chen Hu had to hide out for a few days. If his father discovered him, he would inevitably get a beating.
Holding the elixir, Chen Xiao walked into the house, fetched a basin of water, and cleaned the wounds on his body.
The jade plaque hanging around his neck was stained with a lot of blood, and Chen Xiao wiped it carefully.
"The jade tablet is moving!"
There was a hint of shock on Chen Xiao's face.
In his impression, this jade medal was hung around his neck by his mother when she was very young. The memory of his mother is already very vague.
When she was three years old, her mother hugged little Chen Xiao and told her to go find her father. They left for more than ten years without any news, leaving Chen Xiao alone in Qingshan City.
He quickly lowered his head to look at the jade plaque on his chest. The moment he lowered his head, a golden light emerged from the depths of the jade plaque and penetrated into Chen Xiao's eyebrows.
In an instant, Chen Xiao's consciousness entered an empty world, surrounded by the vast starry sky.
Not far away from him, there was a black furnace suspended, a hundred feet high, with three big feet, like three dragons holding up the furnace.
The whole furnace exudes an eerie atmosphere that makes people stay away.
Chen Xiao suppressed the shock in his heart and walked towards the black furnace step by step.
After walking in, a line of small words emerged from the black furnace.
"The Nine Heavens Divine Furnace can melt everything in the world!"
