Chapter 8 First Try

  It's really a cold and cruel world, people are indifferent, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken.

  Chen Luo didn't think of himself as a phoenix, nor did he dare to compare himself to one. It's just that since his return, he had deeply felt the meaning of the two words "reality". Xiao Luotian was like this, and Ye Qing was too. When they were in power, they looked at you with pride; when they fell, you became a shame in their eyes.

  The world is like this, reality is like this, and it's not about complaining, but just a sigh.

  If it were the him of before, he would have probably charged up to Xiao Luo Tian long ago, revealing his true strength and proving himself. Even now that his cultivation has only just opened up the five spiritual meridians, he still had the confidence to make those people stare in shock.

  Perhaps it was the prison of the Tower of Punishment that made him think too much, and perhaps it was the previous years that were too crazy, so that now his heart is no longer floating with anxiety.

  Chen Luo now only wants to improve his cultivation, and after half a year of hard work, he will take the entrance exam for the Central Academy, just to fulfill the oath he made to his master before his death.

  This is his promise to his master, and he will stop at nothing to fulfill it.

  Ye Qing's affair did not affect Chen Luo's mood, not even a bit. He still persisted in his daily cultivation, although it couldn't be considered bitter, but he cultivated with full dedication.

  On that day, a series of explosive sounds, air explosion sounds, and airflow shock sounds came from an abandoned pit in the back mountain of Xiaojingou Academy.

  Boom! Boom!

  In this moment, Chen Luo's slender figure moved quietly and swiftly, sometimes still as a rock, sometimes fierce as a tiger. With each move and gesture, his entire body shone with a faint yellow glow that seemed to appear and disappear. As he threw out a punch, the air shook violently, the airflow was chaotic, and the sound of "peng" echoed through the air. When he took a step forward, his arms rose up, and at that moment, a faint yellow glow suddenly surged towards his hands, his fingers spread open and then quickly clenched into fists, two fierce punches!

  Ahhh-ooooh!

  A powerful spiritual force shook the air, pulling the airflow and emitting a fierce tiger-like whistle.

  When Chen Luo's fists hit the stone wall, a loud crash was heard, and the stone wall in front of him was completely destroyed by his punch. For a moment, rocks flew everywhere, dust rose, and it seemed like the cave had lost its support, starting to shake violently. Before he could react, Chen Luo quickly ran out, and soon after, a loud rumbling sound came, and the cave completely collapsed. Dust flew everywhere around him. Chen Luo held his breath, jogged out, stood under a tree, and laughed: "Is this what Tiger Might means? The Tiger Might Fist, one of the top five spiritual techniques, is indeed famous for its name. After reaching the peak, the power of Tiger Might is really very strong."

  Chen Luo relied on his strong soul and extraordinary grasp of soul resonance to finally bring the Tiger Might No-Shape Fist to its peak stage. The power contained in the double fists he had just thrown out, imbued with the might of a tiger, instantly broke through the pit, truly broadening his horizons.

  To participate in the assessment of the Central Academy, the minimum condition is the second boundary. Of course, you only cultivate to the second boundary and don't understand half a point of spiritual secrets. Even if you go, it's useless. You might not even know how to die at that time. So, cultivation is important, but spiritual secrets can't be neglected either.

  Looking at the sky, it was almost afternoon. Chen Luojue thought about going back to wash up and then continue absorbing spiritual energy. As he returned to his residence, just as he was about to take off his clothes, a hurried shout came from outside, seemingly looking for Niuwen, but Niuwen didn't seem to be in the room meditating.

  Knock knock knock!

  The knock on the door came, Chen Luo opened the door and saw that it was Wang Wei, this kid. He smiled and said: "Niuwen went out early in the morning and may not be back until tonight."

  "Ah! Has Brother Niu gone out?" Wang Wei, who was relatively short and thin, had a look of panic on his young face, saying: "What can we do now."

  "What's wrong?" Chen Luo found Wang Wei's expression was off and asked curiously.

  "Zhang Dong was beaten up outside, I came to call Brother Niu over."

  Zhang Dong? Chen Luo had an impression that he was a very honest apprentice. Without thinking much, he hastily asked: "What's going on? Who beat him?"

  "It's Xiao Luo Tian's people, they're simply too bullying."

  "Little Luo Tian?" Chen Luo used to consider Little Luo Tian as his home, but after being expelled by Little Luo Tian, he didn't care that much anymore. He put back on the clothes he had taken off and said, "Let's go, take me there to have a look."

  "Ah! There are three of them, I'd better go find Niu Wen Gege instead." Apparently, Wang Wei had no confidence in Chen Luo. Almost everyone in Changcheng City knew that Chen Luo's cultivation had been crippled, and although he had joined Xiao Jinguo and had been cultivating for a short time, it was only one or two months at most. With this amount of time, whether or not he could open up his first spiritual vein was still a question.

  "The ox has gone out, where are you going to find it?" Chen Luo closed the door of the room, he also saw Wang Wei's worry and smiled: "Don't you trust me?"

  "No! No! I didn't mean it like that, I just..."

  Chen Luo shook his head, patted him on the shoulder and said: "How can I say that I was also a person of Xiao Luotian before, maybe I know them." Wang Wei thought for a moment, seemed to think that Chen Luo's words made sense, so the two didn't say much more and hurried over.

  On the way, Wang Wei explained what had happened. It turned out that the two of them had agreed to go to the 'Red Leaf Mountain Range' early in the morning to see if they could dig up some spiritual stones. On a small path, they met three disciples of Xiao Luo Tian, who said they had lost two spiritual stones and thought it was the two of them who had picked them up, demanding that they return them. The two of them had been walking all along without seeing any spiritual stones, but no matter how much they explained, the other side wouldn't listen, so they ended up fighting.

  "That leader, I know him, he's a junior apprentice of Xiao Luotian, named Gu Wenhua, Chen Luo, do you know him?"

  "Apprentice, what's your cultural background?"

  Chen Luo thought carefully, but he didn't have any impression of this name in his mind. Although he was once a disciple of Xiao Luotian and one of the representatives, he had been out for many years doing those messy tasks, and only appeared during assessments. Maybe all of Xiao Luotian's disciples knew him, but that didn't mean Chen Luo knew them, especially with so many junior disciples, and even fewer could be called by name.

  "That's right, it's him, their cultivation is all at the level of opening up four meridians, Zhang Dong and I are no match for them."

  Walking into a small grove, Chen looked around and saw three young men in the distance. The first one had his arms crossed, with a robe under his feet, and a smug expression on his face. The other two also had a look of watching a good show. Opposite them was another young man, who was completely naked, hugging his head and squatting on the ground.

  "Zhang Dong!"

  Seeing the naked boy squatting on the ground, Wang Wei immediately ran over and glared at the three people in front of him, gritting his teeth and shouting: "Guo Wenhua, you're simply too bullying!"

  "Oh? Haha! I let you run away earlier, and I didn't chase after you. I didn't expect you to dare come back." Gu Wenhua looked down on Wang Wei with disdain, sneering, "Where's the help you called for? The most powerful person in Xiaojingou is just a gadfly. Let him come over and see if he dares to touch even one of my fingers."

  "Culture, take a look!"

  Someone next to him saw Chen Luo and was shocked, Gu Wenhua didn't understand what was going on, turned around to look, his expression also stunned, and blurted out in surprise: "Chen... Chen Luo?"

  A person's name is like a tree's shadow.

  One year ago, Chen Luo was a genius known to everyone in Changxin City. He had never lost in multiple competitions at Xiaoluotian Academy. All the disciples of Xiaoluotian knew him well. When they saw Chen Luo appear, even Gu Wenhua and others were instinctively terrified, but soon they realized that this genius had been abolished from his cultivation due to a dark crime over a year ago and had only just been released for more than three months.

  At this thought, the look of terror on Gu's face disappeared, and his proud expression reappeared.

  "I really didn't expect it, isn't this Chen Luo, the genius disciple of our Little Luo Tian? I've long heard that you're back, and later it seemed like you were expelled by Little Luo Tian again. Not long ago, I also heard that you actually joined Xiao Jinguo? Hmm? Hahaha!"

  "Is it! Isn't this our little Luo Tian's former genius disciple?"

  "You're wrong, now he's a genius apprentice of Xiaojingou! Hahaha!"

  The two people beside him followed with a sneer, intentionally emphasizing the word "genius" extremely heavily.

  Chen Luo walked over, took a look at Zhang Dong, and apart from the bruise on his face, there were no other injuries. He looked at Gu Wen Hua, then at the clothes that had been trampled underfoot, and said: "Return his robes to him."

  "You think you're still the one, don't you? You still think you're a senior apprentice of our Little Luo Tian?" Gu Wen Hua was extremely arrogant, and it gave him great pleasure to see the once-admired genius speaking so softly in front of him.

  Chen Luo stared at him, her eyes as cold as ice and frost, a hint of impatience appeared on her originally gloomy face, and she shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"

  He was so startled by Gu's sudden movement that his heart skipped a beat, and the two people beside him even took a few steps back in fright.

  "Hmph! What? Trying to scare me?" Gu Wen Hua sneered, his mouth twisted in a ferocious grin. He leaned forward, eyes wide with excitement, and said in a low voice: "You've been crippled by the Guardians of Light, your spiritual energy scattered, and your seven meridians must be blocked. You've only been out of prison for three months, and yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of me? Even if you were a true genius, at most you'd only be able to open up the first meridian. And you're just a fake talent tainted by darkness!"

  "Considering the three words 'Little Luo Tian', I don't want to hit you today, hurry up and get out of here!" Although Little Luo Tian had already driven him away, in Chen Luo's heart, he still had some feelings for Little Luo Tian. After all, he had lived there for five years, it wasn't something that could be let go of in a short period of time.

  "Want me to scram?" Gu Wenhua burst out laughing, his mouth agape, glaring fiercely at Chen Luo, bellowing: "I, Gu Wenhua, have already opened the fourth spiritual vein, what's there to fear from a waste like you? Want my clothes, huh? Come and take them if you dare, I've been dreaming of fighting you for ages!"

  Chen Luo stopped speaking, took a step forward, his soul resonating at high speed, his spiritual power surging wildly. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and his spiritual power flashed out recklessly, causing the air around him to crackle with electricity. With one punch, he struck Gu Wenhua's chest in an instant.

  With a whoosh, Gu Wenhua didn't even have time to react, only feeling a numbness in his chest, before he was sent flying sideways, crashing into the trunk of a tree and falling to the ground.

  As they watched this scene, not only Xiao Luo Tian's other two apprentices were stunned, but also Wang Wei and Zhang Dong were shocked to the point of being speechless. Chen Luo's cultivation wasn't ruined by the Bright Guardian Team? How could he knock Gu Wen Hua flying with just one punch? This... Gu Wen Hua was a disciple of Ling Kai Si Mai!

  No one knew the reason, they were all deeply shocked, as if what their eyes saw was too unbelievable, to the point where their minds went blank in an instant.

  Gu's cultural only felt a wave of scorching pain in his chest, forcing himself to stand up, he couldn't believe and couldn't accept that he was punched by a waste, yes, he couldn't accept it, anger made him lose his mind, he let out a loud roar, and rushed over, with both palms emitting fiery red spiritual energy.

  "Flaming Palm"

  This is Xiao Luo Tian's mid-grade yellow-level spiritual technique, with a ferocious attack power. Because this was Gu Wen Hua's enraged and irrational all-out strike, he shook his soul to the limit, operating the four meridians' spiritual energy to produce a flame palm that was extremely powerful.

  At this time, Chen Luo had just picked up the clothes on the ground and was about to hand them over to Zhang Dong when Wang Wei saw Gu Wenhua make a move and hastily shouted "Be careful!"

  "Get lost! Go die!"

  Gu's angry roar came, Chen Luo's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, his left foot shifted to the left, his body slightly tilted to the left, Gu's flame palm jumped over from outside his shoulder, directly hitting empty air. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Luo suddenly turned around, raised his arm, and grabbed his wrist.

  "You're not qualified to say that to me!"

  Chen Luo's hand closed around Gu Wenhua's wrist, while his other hand clenched into a fist. Spiritual energy flashed again, causing the air around them to crackle and pop. With a loud "thud", Chen Luo's fist struck Gu Wenhua's abdomen. Not stopping there, he quickly followed up with two more punches, sending Gu Wenhua flying three meters away before crashing to the ground. Gu Wenhua felt his internal energy surging wildly, causing him immense discomfort. Just as he was about to move, Chen Luo's low, ominous voice boomed out like thunder.

  "Make another move and I'll cripple you today!"

  Chen Luo's calm demeanor was not a sign of weakness, for when he did get angry, his normally gentle face turned icy cold, and his sharp eyes gleamed like the edge of a knife, making people feel a chill run down their spine.

  Don't dare move!

  The cultural undertow is too strong, and even if you want to move, you can't.

  The other two apprentices were already frightened out of their wits, standing there like wooden chickens, staring at Chen Luo with terrified expressions.
