Chapter Thirty-Nine: Seething with Anger

  I'm not sure if it's an illusion or what, but Chen Luo recently discovered that his brain has also become much brighter than before. The five great spiritual techniques sent by Wei Tianlong, including the Earth Thick Soil Fist, Golden Snake Coiling Silk Hand, and Rushing Thunder Hand, he grasped the essence of each after just one glance, and with a bit of practice, he had already made some small achievements. If he continues to work hard and cultivate diligently, at this rate, it won't take long for him to reach the peak, which is not a problem at all.

  Signed a mysterious contract, spiritual pulse changed, soul changed, mental power changed, can't even the brain change?

  It suddenly occurred to me a sentence from that strange book: The contractor, his soul must accept the false fire of 9981 times of burning, tempering the soul's fearlessness, unyieldingness, and immobility, refining the soul's will, spirit, and wisdom... After 9981 times of burning and purification, the contract is opened, achieving a false spiritual soul. The vastness of heaven and earth, I am not yielding; the strength of the divine, I am not afraid; the power of light and darkness, I am not moved; my will, I act on my own; my spirit, I dominate; my wisdom, I open myself.

  Has my wisdom really opened up by itself?

  Don't understand.

  For several days, Chen Luo had been impacting the eighth spiritual vein. With the cooperation of the powerful amplitude and Huo Yun's essence, he had already broken through nine-tenths of the eighth spiritual vein. Five days, at most five days, he was confident that he could thoroughly break through.

  It is said that when people encounter happy events, their spirits are refreshed. Good things have been happening one after another, and Chen Luo's mood has greatly improved. Even the iron-like monster meat tastes delicious. On this day at noon, the apprentices of Xiaojin Gou gathered under a big tree to eat. They were all from poor backgrounds, and since receiving the spiritual pills from Chen Luo, they have been very grateful in their hearts. Many people didn't dare to accept them, thinking that the spiritual pills were too precious. Chen Luo had given them out, so how could he take them back? He directly declared that if they wouldn't accept, he would throw them away. At first, no one believed him, but as a result, Chen Luo really threw them away and even trampled them into powder. Then... then there was nothing else to say. Everyone accepted the spiritual pills, knowing Chen Luo's intentions, and they all expressed that in the future, if there was anything they could help with, Chen Luo should just give the order.

  Chen Luo was also happy to see this, and when they were eating, he saw Wang Wei occasionally taking out the spiritual elixir from his bosom, smelling it, and then carefully wrapping it in black cloth again. Chen Luo joked: "I say, Wang Wei, look at your sorry state, that thing is not a golden egg, you don't eat it but keep it for your future children?"

  Everyone burst out laughing, Wang Wei suddenly felt embarrassed, his face slightly red, scratching his head, extremely awkward. In fact, it's not just Wang Wei, all the other apprentices, including Niu Wen, everyone carefully preserved the Ling Dan, this thing is very precious to them. Firstly, they didn't want to eat it, secondly, they knew that a good knife should be used on its blade, and eating the Ling Dan at a critical moment could bring out its maximum effect.

  After lunch, Chen Luo sat under a big tree with his back against the trunk, reclining and exposing his chest, fanning himself with a paper fan in a rhythmic motion. If it weren't for his delicate-looking face, he would have looked like a local tyrant.

  "Chen Luo, have you heard about Xiao Luo Tian's situation?" Niu Ying's upper body was bare and muscular, with dark skin that shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

  "What's going on?" Chen Luo had been cultivating recently and didn't know what was happening outside. He wasn't interested in these things either.

  "I've also heard that Master Yu has returned from outside."

  "What's with 'Master Yu'?"

  "Yu Dashi was a disciple of Xia Luo Tian decades ago, later successfully enrolled in the Central Academy, and is now said to be working at the Glory Association with a not-so-small position. This time he came back to repay Xia Luo Tian's kindness, seemingly wanting to take five disciples to the Xiao Fo Ling realm to observe the 'Tian Wu Bei'."

  "The Heavenly Enlightenment Stele of the Little Buddha Spirit Realm, this is a great thing!" Chen Luo, who was also a world-renowned master thief, had naturally heard of the Heavenly Enlightenment Stele. Not only had he heard of it, but he had also secretly snuck into the Little Buddha Spirit Realm to see it for himself. According to legend, when the stele manifested its spirit, it released a kind of Buddhist light that could make people suddenly enlightened. After being enlightened, one's mind would be clear and their thoughts would flow freely, allowing them to instantly grasp spiritual secrets that they couldn't normally understand. Unfortunately, this thing only manifests once every ten years, so Chen Luo didn't get to experience the clarity of thought when he went there before.

  The Tianwu Stele is also known as the Dàyuánmǎn Zàohuà Bēi.

  Because every time the Tianwu Stele is revealed, it will make many people's attainments in Ling Jue surge forward. Many people have stayed at the peak stage for several years or even more than a decade before achieving great perfection through this stele. There are also rumors that some people directly gained insight into a brand new Ling Jue. Whether these rumors are true or false, no one knows, but everyone says so, and it seems to have become true by being passed down.

  Of course, not everyone is qualified to go to the Xiaofeng Realm to observe the Tianwu Stele. That ticket can't be bought with just a simple spirit stone. So when Xiao Luo Tian announced this matter, it caused a sensation in Changxin City and even triggered a huge wave throughout the entire Jinshui Domain.

  Tianwu Stele! That's the legendary place that cultivates great perfection, and no one doesn't envy it. Even the apprentices of Weilan Academy, known as the number one academy in Jinshui Domain, are now eager to join Little Luo Tian.

  "After this matter spread, the entire Jinshui domain was in an uproar. It's said that Xiao Luo Tian has already selected the list, which includes the number one person of the academy, Mu Huang, as well as Ding Zi Xuan, Ye Qing, and Bai Jian. The last name on the list is unknown, but... no matter who Master Yu brings back, it can be certain that the fighting strength of these five people will definitely make a shocking progress after they return."

  "Yes, I've heard that the Tianwu Stele can even turn idiots into geniuses. Not to mention Xia Luo Tian will definitely recommend Mu Huang and those high-level disciples. Once they return, their combat power will definitely increase a lot. This time during the Jinshui Domain trials, it'll be interesting to watch. Who knows, maybe Xia Luo Tian will really take first place this time."

  Since Xiao Luo Tian announced the news, not only did it put a lot of pressure on the top-ranked Azure Academy and the second-ranked Flying Swan Academy, but also on all the other twenty or thirty academies in the Jinshui Domain. They were all aware that this trip to the Xiaofeng Realm would directly affect the Jinshui Domain's trial two months later, as well as the assessment of the Central Academy soon after.

  Niu Ying and others were discussing, while Chen Luo was still reclining under the big tree, slowly shaking his paper fan. His expression seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, and in fact, he was indeed very satisfied now. As for that thing, Tianwu Stele, he couldn't be bothered to care who Xiao Loutian would bring there, this wasn't something he should consider, he had no interest in it at all, not even a little bit.

  "Chen Luo, what do you think?"

  The ox demon looked at Chen Luo's carefree appearance, which made him quite worried. Others didn't know, but he was very clear that Chen Luo had beaten up Dingzi Xuan and his four companions in the stone room. If they came back from the Small Buddha Spirit Realm this time, they would definitely find trouble with Chen Luo.

  "How's that?" Chen Luo opened his narrowed eyes, lazily saying: "Brothers, I've also been through a few years of experience outside, and I've summed up a famous saying. Do you know what it is?"

  "What is it?" asked Niú Zuī and others with great curiosity.

  "People live for themselves, as long as they're happy and content, that's all that matters. As for other things, if someone likes you, just take it as a joke when you're in a good mood, but don't bother with it when you're not. Even if Lao Tzu himself came down from heaven to lecture us on the Taoist scriptures, or even if his own father was a thousand-year-old demon king, we'd still do what we want."

  This sentence is somewhat arrogant and unruly, and it's full of all kinds of unbridled ferocity.

  Few people had contact with Chen Luo, and they didn't understand him. However, Niu Wen was always together with Chen Luo, so he knew very clearly that this guy looked like a gentle soul on the surface, but if you really provoked him, he would be a ruthless character through and through. In the stone room, he saw with his own eyes how Chen Luo beat Ye Qing, slap after slap, the sound echoing, at least 40 or 50 slaps, and this was just because of a woman. If it were a man, Niu Wen even suspected that Chen Luo would directly kill him.

  Back in the yard, Chen Luo had just lain down for a nap before getting up again to practice, when suddenly Wang Wei that kid rushed in.

  "Little Wang is powerful, what are you doing here at noon when you should be on duty outside?"

  Wang Wei was short and thin, with a big head that resembled a radish. Chen Luo couldn't help but tease him every time he saw him, saying "Have you finished eating the elixir? Don't worry, I still have some." As Chen Luo turned to go back inside, Wang Wei hastily ran over to clarify that he hadn't eaten his elixir yet.

  "I knew you hadn't eaten, speak up, what's going on."

  "There is someone outside looking for you, saying you are Xiao Luo Tian's teacher."

  Teacher? Could it be Wang Ke teacher again? Just a few days ago, Wang Ke teacher seemed to have just looked for himself.

  Chen Luo didn't know who it was, but when he walked to the door, he saw a luxurious carriage parked outside the academy from afar. The curtain opened and inside seemed to be sitting a middle-aged man. When he saw Chen Luo, he smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Chen Luo, long time no see."

  Liu Qidong, the teacher of Xiao Luotian, had a mediocre impression on Chen Luo, neither good nor bad. After all, he had practiced under Xiao Luotian before. Chen Luo politely asked: "Teacher Liu, is there something?"

  "What's wrong with you, kid?" Liu Qidong feigned anger and said, "Must the teacher have a reason to look for you?"

  Chen Luo shook his head, he respected Wang Ke teacher from the heart, but his respect for Liu Qidong was not genuine. At least, he felt that Liu Qidong did not deserve to be respected, so he replied: "Teacher, if you have anything to say, just say it, I still need to cultivate."

  "It's been a while since we've seen you, several teachers have missed you and everyone wants to see you. We've booked a table at Tianqi Wine House with good wine and food, let's catch up."

  "This...". Chen Luo knew that these teachers would absolutely not just be looking for a casual chat.

  Seeing him hesitate, Liu Qidong's expression was somewhat displeased, and he said: "Chen Luo, you used to be a disciple of Xiaoluo Tian, didn't our teachers teach you anything? Now that I'm inviting you out for a meal, why are you being so pretentious?"

  Chen Luo nodded, without any further hesitation, and directly got into the horse carriage. What Liu Qidong said was right, during his training in Xiao Luotian, although Wang Ke taught him more, other teachers also taught him before, just for this point, he had no reason to refuse.
