Free Web NovelChapter 132: Chapter 112: Didn’t Expect That! I’m at True Qi Level 3 Again
Luo Hongtian, standing to the side, was completely shocked, still unable to process what had just happened.
Situ Zhenyue, who had been fighting him on equal footing for so long, had been grievously wounded by a single beam of light from Chen Xuan’s finger?
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, how could he possibly believe it?
Chen Xuan strode forward, reaching Situ Zhenyue in just a few steps. Amidst the man’s terrified expression, Chen Xuan grabbed a handful of his hair and began to drag him outside, saying:
"Lord Situ, why did you have to do this? I humiliated your Vice Lord before because he went too far. If he hadn’t humiliated my teacher, I wouldn’t have humiliated him. But you, ignoring all reason, led your men to slaughter their way into our Twelve Alliances and even tried to kill me. That’s just unreasonable. Come on, let’s go see your followers."
"No! Let me go! Let me go..."
With his hair gripped tightly, Situ Zhenyue struggled violently with his hands and feet. Covered in blood and his face a mask of terror, he was afraid he would suffer the same ultimate humiliation as Jiang Tianxiong.
He hastily tried to use his True Qi to commit suicide, but Chen Xuan gave him no chance. A single slap scattered the True Qi in his body, making him spit out another mouthful of blood. His body went limp, and he was dragged out like a dead dog.
Luo Hongtian, his face etched with shock, quickly followed behind.
"Everyone, stop!"
In the plaza outside, Luo Hongtian gathered his True Qi and let out a deafening roar.
The sound instantly spread across the entire plaza.
The crowd, who had been locked in fierce combat, instinctively stopped and looked back.
The members of Iron Stone Castle soon showed expressions of terror. They trembled, retreated, and were filled with utter dread...
Their Lord...
...had been captured alive?
’How is that possible?’
THUD!
Chen Xuan casually shoved Situ Zhenyue, forcing him to his knees on the spot. He then planted a foot on the man’s back, causing him to spit out more blood and forcing his face toward everyone in the plaza.
"Lord Situ, now tell all these followers of yours that you surrender."
Chen Xuan’s tone was light.
With one foot on Situ Zhenyue’s back, Chen Xuan made his face contort in fear. A sharp pain shot through his body, and it felt as if a small mountain was crushing him from behind.
No matter how hard he struggled, it was completely useless. He could only lie prostrate on the ground, his hands and feet splayed, forced into a kneeling posture.
"L-Lord..."
A group of Iron Stone Castle disciples cried out, their voices trembling with fear.
"Speak! Do you hear me?"
Chen Xuan frowned at the silent, humiliated Situ Zhenyue groveling before him. "If you don’t speak, I’ll strip you naked and make you kneel in the middle of the street tomorrow morning. Don’t blame me when a massive crowd gathers to watch!"
"You... you..."
Situ Zhenyue’s lips trembled, his spirit on the verge of breaking.
’Could someone please tell me how this Chen Xuan suddenly learned to cultivate True Qi!’
’If I had known, why would I have ever come here to provoke him?’
"I... I surrender."
Situ Zhenyue said, his tone desolate.
"Too quiet, I didn’t hear you. Did you not fucking eat? I’ll strip you naked right now, believe it or not."
Chen Xuan scowled.
"I SURRENDER!"
Situ Zhenyue screamed mournfully, as if using all his strength.
The sound was so loud it didn’t just cover the entire plaza.
It could be heard clearly throughout most of the main alliance headquarters.
After saying it, Situ Zhenyue completely broke down, collapsing to the ground and wailing in despair.
He had always considered himself a man of steel. How great could any humiliation in life be? Before this, he thought it was all nothing. So what if he had to endure being crawled under?
But now, having truly experienced it, he realized just how fragile his heart was.
Especially being forced to kneel in public in front of so many of his own subordinates and say those words...
No one could go through that without their mind breaking.
"Very good!" freewebnovel.cσ๓
Chen Xuan was exceptionally satisfied. He looked at the others and said, "You all heard him, right? Your lord has surrendered. Why haven’t you put down your weapons? Do you want to keep seeking death?"
[You have utterly humiliated the Lord of Iron Stone Castle in front of everyone. The Lord of Iron Stone Castle’s mental breakdown has been detected. +12,000 retribution points!]
Another line of text appeared.
The faces of the Iron Stone Castle members were filled with terror as they trembled. No one knew who dropped their weapon first, but a series of CLANGS rang out.
Soon, everyone had dropped their weapons...
"I surrender!"
"I surrender too..."
"Spare me..."
"Spare my life..."
In an instant, all the members of Iron Stone Castle knelt, prostrating themselves on the ground in utter terror.
Further away, some of the more cunning members of Iron Stone Castle turned and fled, trying to escape amidst the chaos.
But the moment they tried to flee, they were immediately pursued by the experts of the Twelve Alliances, who quickly took them all down.
"Alright, time to raid their home."
Chen Xuan said calmly, then turned to Luo Hongtian with a faint smile. "Alliance Leader, how are you? Are you injured?"
Luo Hongtian’s face was blank, still in a state of extreme shock.
When he saw Chen Xuan’s gaze fall upon him, he immediately snapped out of it.
"No."
He responded quickly, then subconsciously asked, "By the way, how did you break through?"
He desperately wanted to know what had happened to Chen Xuan.
It was just too absurd.
’How long has it been since he got the True Qi method? And he’s already broken through.’
Even that madwoman, Wang Qinglian, took several months...
As for others, it’s not even worth mentioning. Without several years of tempering and exploration, it would be impossible to break through. Yet Chen Xuan did it in a single night...
"Only through hard work and bitter cultivation!"
Chen Xuan said.
"Hard work and bitter cultivation?"
Luo Hongtian looked bewildered.
’Is that really something that can be achieved through hard work and bitter cultivation?’
’How is that possible?’
But he knew he shouldn’t dwell on the issue, lest he earn Chen Xuan’s dislike.
The most important matter at hand was to quickly raid Iron Stone Castle.
"Where are the Four Great Protectors? Quickly go and raid Iron Stone Castle!"
Luo Hongtian shouted sternly.
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
Four figures shouted in response.
"Wait, I’ll go with you."
Chen Xuan said.
’Raiding a home is the kind of thing I’m most interested in.’
’Maybe I can harvest another wave of retribution points.’
’If not, I might at least get a few True Qi Pills to snack on.’
’Or finding some Martial Arts manuals to practice wouldn’t be bad either.’
’In any case, a thief never leaves empty-handed.’
"Let’s go. Bring Situ Zhenyue."
Chen Xuan spoke calmly and walked away. His tall figure, robes fluttering, exuded an intangible aura.
Everyone in the Twelve Alliances watched the figure in the dark robes with awe and shock.
They could clearly see a heavenly prodigy on the rise...
’This is definitely the strength of someone at the top of the Human List...’
Li Changsheng, who was limping over, was especially shocked to the core.
’He knew that his shameless persistence in taking Chen Xuan as his disciple had been the right decision...’
...
As they walked, Chen Xuan looked again at the panel in front of him, his eyes flickering.

...
’Very good. retribution points, put them into Molten Fire Forging Gold Skill!’
He recited silently in his heart.
Following the principle of spending points as soon as he got them, he never procrastinated.
Because no one ever knew what kind of accident could happen during a delay.
He needed to constantly surpass his previous limits, constantly keeping others from grasping his true strength.
’You think I’m at the True Qi First Layer?’
’Surprise! I’ve broken through again!’
[Ding! You have consumed 15,000 retribution points to begin deducing the Molten Fire Forging Gold Skill. You have successfully obtained 150x Cultivation Speed, but you discover that cultivation in the True Qi Realm is completely different from before. The barriers of the True Qi Realm are like insurmountable mountains. Even with 150x speed, your progress is still slow.]
[At this time, you wanted to see the system’s limits. Without hesitation, you directly poured in 30,000 retribution points. Finally, your Cultivation Speed erupted like a volcano, reaching an unimaginable level. Through your hard work and bitter cultivation, you surmounted the first heavenly barrier in one fell swoop!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have reached the Second Layer of True Qi!]
[At this time, you still did not stop. While the True Qi inside you was still boiling and your blood and qi were still burning, you unhesitatingly poured in another 45,000 retribution points. Your True Qi let out a long cry like a dragon’s roar and, under your control, finally helped you break through another barrier!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have reached the True Qi Third Layer!]
BOOM!
Waves of invisible True Qi fluctuations surged directly out of his body.
They were like surging tides, vast and mighty.
The scorching True Qi circulated back and forth through a special network of meridians.
Chen Xuan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.
’True Qi Third Layer...’
’I wonder what realm Wang Qinglian is at?’
’A few more breakthroughs, and I should be able to ’ravage’ her a bit the next time we meet, right?’
A smile touched Chen Xuan’s face as he quickened his pace.
