Chapter 146 Challenge
In the Su Residence, Su Wen was regulating his breathing
He had just consumed the pills given by the emperor. It had to be said that the effects of this elixir were excellent!
Shortly after Su Wen swallowed the elixir, the True Qi within his body began to increase.
This was especially so since the pills and Su Wen’s cultivation technique were both Yang-attributed, making them extremely easy to absorb.
In fact, it was even faster than what the Zhou Emperor had predicted. In just three days, Su Wen had consumed half of the elixirs and his cultivation level had returned to 8th Grade Star Rank.
Following that, Su Wen finished the remaining half of the medicinal pills in one go.
A violent fire elemental Qi surged within Su Wen’s body.
The Golden Gu was awake as well. Ever since the last battle, this guy seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. After this fellow woke up, Su Wen discovered that its wings had become a little golden.
He began to gulp down mouthfuls of True Qi!
Soon, the swallowed True Qi was spat back out. At this moment, Su Wen felt a sense of familiarity from the True Qi.
Great Solar River True Qi!
That’s right, it was the purest Origin True Qi that Su Wen had obtained when he first activated the Great Solar River secret technique.
The True Qi obtained from burning one’s cultivation in the Great Solar River was naturally far superior to the True Qi one usually cultivated. While it was violent and hot, it did not harm the body in the slightest.
But now, the Golden Gu had consumed this origin energy, and catalyzed a strange change within itself.
Although the new True Qi it spat out was still not comparable to the Origin True Qi, it already had a trace of this nature!
A spark could start a prairie fire. This was already considered an excellent start.
Su Wen then looked at his system interface.
After his last level up, he had accumulated more Emotional Value points. Some of them were obtained from exploiting the Moon Worship Sect disciples, while others were obtained from fighting them at the main shrine.
And there were some he was obtaining now…
(Xue Wanjun is expressing great hatred towards the host. +200 Emotional Value]
(Xue Wanjun is expressing great hatred towards the host. +110 Emotional Value]
[Xue Wanjun…)
Host: Su Wen
Emotional Value: 44,560 points
Level: 17
Cultivation: Star Rank 8th Grade
Cultivation Technique: Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra
Battle Techniques: Jadebreak Fist (LV7) Layered Wave Saber (LV8) Stellar Transposition (LV3) After pondering for a while, Su Wen decided to continue accumulating his current Emotional Value.
Because his current points were only enough to raise the level of his Jadebreak Fist.
Raising the Layered Wave Saber to max level required 100,000 points, and upgrading Stellar Transposition to LV4 also required 100,000.
These Emotional Value points were basically a paltry sum now.
However, he had leveled up from LV16 to LV17 and obtained another chance for a lucky draw.
Su Wen decided to use it.
[Ding-dong. Congratulations, the host has obtained the blood essence of the North Sea Violent Ape!)
Su Wen’s eyes lit up in elation!
It was the blood essence of a vicious beast again. This thing was truly good stuff.
A jade bottle appeared in front of him, containing a dark red liquid.
Without hesitation, he opened the bottle and gulped it down.
When the blood essence entered his body, Su Wen felt as if he was burning!
But this was not the first time he had consumed the blood essence of a vicious beast, so he did not show any panic.
He allowed the energy to flow through his entire body as he activated the Body Refinement Art and circulated his True Qi along with his Blood Qi.
As this blood essence entered his body, the one who rejoiced the most was the Golden Gu.
It followed Su Wen’s meridians and flowed along with his blood and True Qi.
Su Wen opened his eyes and a smile flashed across his face.
He knew that in the coming period of time, the strength of his physical body and meridians would welcome another period of rapid growth.
Su Wen walked out of the courtyard and stretched his body. “Young Master, Wu Lie requests an audience.” Ning Shuang walked over and reported to Su Wen.
“Hmm?” Su Wen pondered for a moment. He’d been so busy with Xue Wanjun’s matters and cultivation that he’d forgotten about this fellow.
“Invite him to the hall!”
Soon, the two met. Su Wen laughed loudly and said, “Brother Wu, why did you think of me?”
Wu Lie looked at Su Wen with resentment in his eyes. Because of the family banquet, he had been feeling terrible for the past few days. Not only was he beaten up by Wu Kuihu several times, but Wu Muyu also hated him for letting it slip. She also complained to her mother at the inner residence. He had become the target of hatred for his family.
Life was hard.
He sighed. “My father has agreed to let you have dinner at the house. Do you have time tonight?”
“Yes! How can I not?” Su Wen smiled.
Wu Lie looked at him and hesitated, not speaking
“What’s wrong?” He was not the kind of person who could hide things, so Su Wen saw through him and asked.
Wu Lie did not hide anything and honestly told him everything that happened at home.
He said in a low voice, “My father has been in a bad mood these past two days. If you go, I don’t think this meal will be very comfortable.”
Su Wen laughed loudly. “It’s fine, I’m prepared! I’ve done my preparations!”
He had already expected this. As a person that was already engaged, it would be surprising if Wu Kunhu felt at ease letting him dine with his daughter.
As the two of them were talking, another person appeared outside the door. It was Yao Gu!
He had a solemn expression!
Meng Zhiping had already been buried. What he needed to do was avenge him!
He knocked on the door and it opened. The guard looked at Yao Gu and asked, “Who are you? What are you here for?”
Yao Gu took out the letter of challenge he had prepared and handed it to the guard at the door. He said, “Give this letter to Chu He and get him to give me an answer!”
When the guard heard that he was looking for Chu He, he got Yao Gu to wait and took the challenge letter in.
Shortly after, Chu He and Zhao Jin came
Chu He held the letter of challenge and looked at Yao Gu. He said in a deep voice, “Senior, you aren’t the person I want to challenge. I won’t accept your challenge.”
Chu He’s goal was very strong. He wanted to fight the target his master had set for him. As for the others, Chu He had no desire to fight them.
Yao Gu was infuriated. “You killed Meng Zhiping! I want revenge for him! Is it only you who can challenge others and not others?”
Chu He thought nothing of it as he shook his head and said, “A duel between warriors is never a one-sided affair. Senior Meng’s sword techniques are outstanding, and both of us have benefitted from the duel. Although it’s a life-and-death struggle, there’s no personal vendetta between us. It was never what I wished for.”
Yao Gu was so angry that he laughed. “You brat, you really are shameless. Could it be that you want to be a turtle that hides in its shell?”
Chu He ignored him and turned to leave.
At this moment, Zhao Jin took a step forward. He looked at Yao Gu and said with a smile, “Old Yao, no one forced Meng Zhiping to accept the duel, right? You know the rules of the Great Zhou’s duels. If one party refuses, while the other party cannot force him. This is the rule.
Meng Zhiping accepted the duel himself. His skills were inferior, so he died for nothing. My family’s young master is kind-hearted and even chose to give his family compensation. If you really care about his family, then let them accept it. It’s always good to have a better life.”
“You…” Yao Gu angrily pointed at Zhao Jin.
He was well and truly enraged now.
Zhao Jin smiled and said, “Think about it carefully. If you really want to take revenge for that Meng Zhiping, then you’ll have to disregard the law and act brazenly. At that time, you’ll lose your position. Whether you succeed or not is another matter. If you don’t succeed, you’ll lose your life. If you succeed, you’ll have to face my young master’s revenge. At best, you’ll just end up as a fugitive. Why bother?”
Zhao Jin said to Yao Gu in a low voice, “I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. My family’s young master is a vicious and merciless person. He’s especially protective of his own people. If you really anger him, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
