Chapter 284 - 175: Of Course Chen Xuan is the Most Powerful! Who Else? Me?

Chapter 284: Chapter 175: Of Course Chen Xuan is the Most Powerful! Who Else? Me?

"Rest assured, rest assured! We will absolutely strengthen our disciplinary measures!"

"Yes, yes! We’ll treat everyone equally, no matter who they are!"

The two men yelled hastily.

They were genuinely terrified Chen Xuan would come after them. If he beat them until they were kneeling and bawling in front of everyone... it would be all over for them!

So, for the sake of their own futures, they would make absolutely sure that no such bullying ever happened again.

"Fine."

Chen Xuan nodded, not pressing the issue further.

He took another quick glance at his retribution points and rejoiced inwardly.

Retribution Points: 1,076,700.

’This is definitely enough for me to break through to the Inner Realm Seventh Layer!’

"Let’s go."

Chen Xuan glanced at the Chai siblings and Yan Guichen, then started to walk away.

"What about all these Inner Realm experts?" Yan Guichen whispered hastily, gesturing toward the people kneeling on the ground.

"Leave them."

Chen Xuan smiled.

’I’ve already squeezed all the retribution points out of them anyway.’

’Might as well spare them. Who knows? Maybe they’ll bring me more pleasant surprises in the future.’

’Isn’t that how fishing works?’

’You always have to keep chumming the water.’

’You can’t just ruin the whole fishing spot after one great haul.’

"Right!"

Yan Guichen nodded at once.

"Little Sis, you focus on your studies. We’re heading out now."

Chai Yuan said to Chai Yingxue. He then gave her some money before leaving with Chen Xuan.

The entire area fell deathly silent.

All the students watched the scene unfold, their faces blank with bewilderment.

Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.

Whose youth isn’t filled with passion?

Whose youth isn’t filled with dreams?

This, right here, was passion and dreams made manifest.

He’d stormed the academy to personally demand justice for his friend’s bullied sister. He’d beaten a group of Inner Realm masters to their knees, forcing them to admit their wrongdoing, and he’d even cowed two teachers into submission, leaving them too afraid to utter a single complaint.

Without a doubt, the image of Chen Xuan was now permanently etched into the minds of every student present.

They would not be able to forget it, even countless years later.

"Yun Wuyue, aren’t you supposed to be the next Chu Shanhe? You broke through to the Inner Realm First Layer at thirty-nine. Why didn’t you step up?" someone suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Screw off! Why didn’t you go?" The woman named Yun Wuyue shot back, her expression turning furious.

’It’s true I’m hailed as the next Chu Shanhe.’

’But I’m not the next Chen Xuan.’

’That Chen Xuan is clearly countless times more ferocious than Chu Shanhe ever was in his youth.’

’He’s a monster!’

"Heh."

The person beside her gave a sheepish laugh and said no more.

"There’s no one left in the Grotto Heaven world..." someone sighed suddenly.

As his words faded, many people’s expressions grew grim, their hearts heavy with turbulent thoughts.

"Not necessarily. Those few with Perfected Grand Sage Bodies haven’t shown up. If they did, it’s still anyone’s guess who would come out on top!" someone suddenly said.

"Do you think... could Chen Xuan also have a Perfected Grand Sage Body?" another asked.

*GASP!*

"It’s possible!"

"Holy shit, I forgot about that!"

"It’s definitely possible!"

Some of the more talented Inner Realm experts slapped their thighs and gasped in realization.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Chen Xuan was so strong.

But if he had a Perfected Grand Sage Body, then everything would make sense.

With a Perfected Grand Sage Body, plus the True Dragon’s Blood that Chu Shanhe had infused him with, his power would naturally be soaring.

"Dammit! If I’d known he had a Perfected Grand Sage Body, I never would’ve challenged him!"

One of the senior Inner Realm experts scrambled up from the ground, hiding his face as he fled the scene.

Without a doubt, news of what had happened here began to spread like wildfire.

...

In the distance.

The three Chai brothers and Yan Guichen were all incredibly excited, crowding around Chen Xuan as they walked.

"Young Hero Chen, I, Yan Guichen, have never really admired anyone in my entire life, but I am utterly convinced now. You’re just too damn incredible!"

Yan Guichen hadn’t shut up the entire way.

"Brother Chen, are you hungry?"

Chai Yuan said excitedly, "Not far from here is the largest restaurant in Grotto Heaven City, the Luck Tower. They claim to have every ingredient imaginable, specializing in serving masters from all walks of life. Things that fly in the sky, run on the ground, swim in the water—they have it all! Come on, let’s go get a bite. It’s all on me!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude, he grabbed Chen Xuan and started pulling him forward.

"The Luck Tower, eh..."

Behind them, Ancient Star River smacked his lips, his appetite apparently whetted. "I was there over one hundred and fifty years ago. The ingredients are truly top-notch."

"Alright then, let’s go have a taste," Chen Xuan chuckled.

’A man can’t spend his whole life just fighting.’

’You have to experience what life has to offer.’

’Of course, if I can improve my cultivation at the same time, all the better.’

With that in mind, Chen Xuan immediately began to chant inwardly.

’Retribution points, advance the Hesven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture!’

[Ding! You have consumed 400,000 retribution points and have begun to advance the Hesven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture. The Inner Realm within your body begins to expand further. Flames surge like a tempestuous sea. The Golden Crow inside you lets out a long cry, its feathers transforming as if forged from molten gold, now containing an astonishingly terrifying power...]

...

"Greetings, Young Hero Chen. May I ask if you are free at the moment? Our Vice Valley Master would like to invite you for a visit?"

An old man suddenly appeared from around a corner, cupping his fists as he spoke politely.

Chen Xuan let out a soft breath, his power-up complete.

"Who is your Vice Valley Master?" he asked, his voice calm as he savored the new power within him.

"Young Hero Chen, he’s from the Heaven-Burning Valley..." Yan Guichen couldn’t resist sending a mental message from the side.

"The Heaven-Burning Valley?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. He looked at the old man and refused, "Forget it. I don’t know you."

’I just killed their Nine Yang Saint Body not long ago.’

’There’s no telling how much they hate me for it.’

’Going to their headquarters at a time like this would be suicide!’

"..."

The old man hesitated. "Perhaps Young Hero Chen could reconsider?"
