Chapter 174: Chapter 134: What’s So Shameful, Every Man Does It
The entire hillside was in chaos.
Blood splattered everywhere, and bodies flew through the air.
Soon, all fell silent. A fierce wind blew, carrying the stench of blood.
The remaining survivors trembled uncontrollably, filled with terror.
A nightmare.
Today was a waking nightmare.
Aside from the Third Elder, all the other masters were dead.
"Alright, now take me to your Mixed Element Sect. I want to see what treasures you have."
Chen Xuan turned to look at the Third Elder of the Mixed Element Sect, whom he had deliberately spared.
"Yes, yes."
The Third Elder’s voice was panicked. Not daring to refuse, he trembled all over as he hurriedly led Chen Xuan and Wang Qinglian toward the Mixed Element Sect.
Just after they left, a large contingent of masters from the Wang Clan, led by Vice-Patriarch Wang Rufeng, arrived from a distance.
When he saw the scene on the hillside, Wang Rufeng was once again utterly shocked.
’What in the world happened here?’
’Where is the Mixed Element Sect’s Sect Leader?’
’Did he run away?’
His gaze swept over the dazed survivors before locking onto one of them. "Where is your Sect Leader?" he asked.
"The Sect... The Sect Leader..."
The Mixed Element Sect disciple stammered, his face a mask of terror, as he pointed to a pile of mangled flesh nearby.
"What?"
Wang Rufeng was horrified.
’Not even a complete corpse left?’
...
Inside the Mixed Element Sect.
Chen Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony. Upon arriving, he immediately announced his takeover. In truth, he met no resistance at all.
The Mixed Element Sect had deployed nearly all its forces to deal with the Wang Clan.
Only a few powerless elders were left guarding the sect.
At the Third Elder’s announcement, the remaining elders broke down and collapsed to their knees on the spot.
Then, it was time for Chen Xuan to do some looting.
The scripture pavilion, the medicine storage, the armory...
In short, he searched every place he could.
And wouldn’t you know it, he actually found a few useful things.
A Nine-Aperture Profound Soul Lotus.
An Earth-Core Flame Dragon Fruit.
These were all found in the Mixed Element Sect’s treasury.
They all contained immense spiritual properties.
According to Wang Qinglian, these were High-tier Spirit Medicines that offered incredible benefits even to those in the True Essence Realm.
Those in the True Essence Realm needed to constantly absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to open the important acupoints in their bodies.
Consuming this type of Spirit Medicine could make the process of opening acupoints much smoother.
Without a doubt, this was extremely useful for Chen Xuan.
It could save him a huge expense.
A breakthrough that would have originally cost him over a hundred thousand retribution points might now only require seventy or eighty thousand after consuming these herbs.
Additionally, he also found a secret manual titled "Mixed Element Qi."
It was actually a Secret Technique.
It allowed a person to compress all of their power, momentarily gathering it into a single force, and then unleash it, erupting with two or three times their previous strength.
It was said that at its peak, it could even unleash five or ten times one’s power.
Not only that, but this power could also be used to self-destruct.
When facing an unstoppable enemy and already captured, one could self-destruct to take the enemy down with them.
This was how the Mixed Element Sect’s Sect Leader, Zhou Tianxing, had died.
"Incredible. So that was the Secret Technique he used!"
Chen Xuan’s eyes showed his astonishment.
’I thought it was some kind of single-use Secret Technique.’
’But now it seems this Secret Technique is much stronger than I imagined.’
’It can gather all of one’s power into a single force...’
’That’s astounding.’
’With my current body and True Qi, stacked with so many talents, how strong would that power be if I gathered it all into one?’
’A five- or six-fold increase probably wouldn’t be a problem.’
The thought made him inwardly gleeful.
"By the way, there’s a Secret Technique here. Want to take a look?"
Chen Xuan gestured to Wang Qinglian with a smile.
"A Secret Technique? Let me see."
Wang Qinglian’s interest was piqued. She took the book with her slender hand and began to flip through it.
Ordinarily, she wouldn’t have been interested.
But since Chen Xuan was the one recommending it, she was curious.
"This Secret Technique is this powerful? It combines all the power in one’s body into a single force?"
Wang Qinglian said in amazement.
"That’s right. With this Secret Technique, your strength should at least double or triple."
Chen Xuan chuckled. "But I’m different. I can increase my power at least fivefold!"
"..."
A dark look crossed Wang Qinglian’s face.
’Is this guy showing off to me?’
’Just like how I showed off to him back then.’
’Payback came so quickly.’
Still, Wang Qinglian quickly scanned the manual, memorizing its contents, before handing it back to Chen Xuan. "I’m done."
"That fast?"
Chen Xuan was surprised. He took the manual, quickly flipped it open, and said, "Then I might as well practice it too."
He immediately recited in his mind.
’Retribution points, put points into the Mixed Element Qi Skill!’
[Ding! You have consumed 80,000 retribution points to begin upgrading the Mixed Element Qi Skill. The True Qi in your body surges like great rivers, but it is too scattered. Under the guidance of your will, you begin to unify these great rivers, giving them the potential to merge into one at any moment.]
[You now feel as though a super-powerful engine has been installed inside you, allowing you to precisely utilize every last ounce of your power, ensuring none of it is wasted!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have mastered the Mixed Element Qi Skill!]
BOOM!
A powerful stream of air suddenly radiated from his entire body...
Waves of formidable aura swept outwards from him like a cyclone.
Wang Qinglian whipped her head around, her beautiful eyes wide and round.
"You’re..."
"Hoo!"
Chen Xuan let out a soft breath, carefully sensing the changes in his body. "The Mixed Element Qi Skill isn’t half bad."
"You’ve learned the basics?"
Wang Qinglian’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
"Not the basics."
Chen Xuan denied it. "I’ve mastered it."
Wang Qinglian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the second half of his sentence struck her like lightning. Her mind went blank, her body went numb, and she nearly collapsed.
"Ma... Mastered it?"
She stared at Chen Xuan, her eyes wide with terror.
No matter how calm or aloof she tried to be, she couldn’t take it anymore.
She felt an overwhelming urge to start cursing like one of those rough men of the martial world...
’Is there any justice left in this world?’
[Wang Qinglian’s spirit has broken again. Retribution points +15,000!]
"Hm?"
A look of surprise crossed Chen Xuan’s face as he glanced at Wang Qinglian.
’This woman’s spirit breaks so easily?’
’This is great!’
’From now on, I’ll have to "shock" her every chance I get, shock her ’til she flies.’
’This is awesome!’
"It’s nothing special, really. Any ordinary genius can do it."
Chen Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
"Right. I... I can do it too."
Wang Qinglian forced herself to calm down, her cool and proud expression returning. "Anyway, what are your plans now?"
"Return to the Martial Alliance."
Chen Xuan said flatly, "Both of the major powers are gone, so there’s no threat here anymore. I’m going to the Martial Alliance to meet the heroes of the world!"
Mr. Zhuo had told him long ago that the world was vast and immense.
The so-called Human List could hardly include every genius.
He didn’t care if that was true or not.
In any case, he was heading for a higher, bigger stage.
Only then could he continue to advance without end.
’Let the tides of the world crash against me.’
’I’d like to see who in this vast world can shake me!’
"You’re already very powerful. You could take a break and rest for a bit..."
Wang Qinglian hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Am I powerful?"
Chen Xuan frowned. "Compared to those on the Earth and Heaven Lists, what do I amount to?"
’Right now, any random expert from the Earth List could slap me to death.’
’So, until I become number one in the world, I’ll always feel the pressure.’
"Those are your goals?"
Wang Qinglian was inevitably moved again, shocked to her core.
’Once upon a time, weren’t those my goals as well?’
’But the hardships of the past few years had taught her how terrifying the Earth and Heaven Lists were. Forget the Earth List, she hadn’t even stepped into the True Essence Realm...’
’She felt that every step forward was an iron gate... The promise she made in her youth had long since been crushed beyond recognition...’
’But now, Chen Xuan had placed these distant goals before her once again.’
"No! My goal is to crush them, to shatter them!"
Chen Xuan’s tone was light.
’The Heaven and Earth Lists.’
’They were made to be beaten.’
’Just like the Human List.’
"So you’re not considering settling down and starting a family anytime soon?"
Wang Qinglian mustered her courage and asked.
"I won’t even think about it until I’m invincible."
Chen Xuan waved his hand.
’Once you have a family, you have a weakness.’
’No matter how well you protect them, a single mistake is all it takes.’
’He would be the most invulnerable person in the world.’
"Then... what if you have... those kinds of urges? Would you go to a brothel?"
Wang Qinglian’s heart pounded. She forced herself to look calm, but after asking the question, she could feel her heart racing uncontrollably.
’Damn it.’
’What’s wrong with me?’
’Why am I asking such an embarrassing question!’
She desperately wanted to turn and flee, but her powerful willpower nailed her feet to the spot.
"A brothel? How filthy."
Chen Xuan frowned and made a hand gesture. "Get it?"
"..."
Wang Qinglian’s pretty face went slack with shock.
’So... that’s how you take care of it...’
’Then your blankets...’
Her eyes widened, then narrowed in horror...
"What’s so shameful about it? Every man does it. Anyone who says they don’t is a hypocrite."
Chen Xuan was baffled by her reaction.
"Alright, I’m leaving. You can coordinate with your Wang Clan to ransack this place."
He turned and left.
’I need to get back to the Martial Alliance as soon as possible and get a True Essence Realm Heart Method.’
"Wait!"
Wang Qinglian mustered her courage, her dark eyes fixed on him. "I hope you’ll remember me. I’ll always be here!"
"Got it!"
Chen Xuan waved goodbye without looking back and departed.
"..."
Wang Qinglian fell silent for a moment, then another thought seemed to occur to her.
After Wang Rufeng arrived with his men, she handed everything over to him. Then, wrapping herself in True Qi, she leaped into the air and sped toward the Twelve Main Alliances...
「Several hours later.」
Chen Xuan’s residence.
As a dumbfounded Luo Hongtian looked on, Wang Qinglian, her expression cold, picked up Chen Xuan’s blankets and said icily, "I’m taking these blankets. Get him a new set later, and don’t tell anyone."
"..."
Luo Hongtian’s face was a mask of confusion.
’What’s going on?’
’First she eats his food, and now she’s taking his things?’
