After Tian Guanyu finished paying, he ran toward the hospital across the street with towering fury. That hospital had been quite lively lately, with people always going to emergency after fights. But Tian Guanyu’s injuries today were no small matter. He was probably going to be disfigured. That handsome face was probably beyond saving.
And he thought Luo Chen would regret letting him go today.
But if he knew Luo Chen’s background, he would probably regret that Luo Chen had let him go today. Because once he mobilized connections, once he used his family’s power to seek revenge on Luo Chen, then the ones implicated would not be just him alone. It would be his entire family!
If someone familiar were here, they would probably shake their head and sigh. The Tian family was finished!
Tang Xin looked at Luo Chen with a complex expression. But in the end she shook her head. So what if Luo Chen was a martial artist? He had offended the Tian family. He had beaten Tian Guanyu. Even with Tian Qiqi by his side, she probably could not protect him.
Tang Xin shook her head. She no longer wished to speak with Luo Chen, someone who was already a dead man walking.
After all, Luo Chen had already sought his own death. And starting tonight, she was going to become a law cultivator.
By then, what would a mere martial artist count for in her eyes?
Everyone else in the restaurant had left. They even stayed far away from Luo Chen. Because the person Luo Chen had offended was none other than the Northern Province’s notorious young master, Tian Guanyu!
Tian Qiqi looked at Luo Chen with worry. But Luo Chen instead turned his gaze toward Tian Qiqi. He said something meaningful. “No matter when, no matter what trouble you encounter, you can tell me. I can help you settle it!”
“Alright, Brother Luo.” Tian Qiqi smiled. But she did not speak of what happened last night.
Luo Chen rubbed Tian Qiqi’s head. Then he left.
But Tang Xin shook her head. Still saying no matter what trouble?
You should first take care of yourself! You are already a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, unable to save yourself. And you still have the mind to worry about others?
Moreover, the old matriarch of the Tian family was no ordinary person. She was not someone you could deal with just by knowing a few moves of martial arts. If such a figure appeared before you, do not wet yourself in fear.
Tian Qiqi also did not believe Luo Chen could resolve the matter of the Tian family’s old matriarch. After all, that person was almost no longer what one would call human.
So Tian Qiqi did not tell Luo Chen about what happened last night. In her eyes, she wanted more to be able to protect Luo Chen herself.
When she saw the old matriarch later, she must have the old matriarch help stop Tian Guanyu’s revenge.
Not long after, the two of them left the city.
And Luo Chen returned to Bo Village to begin refining the essence of departing fire.
Because Tian Guanyu was injured, he did not come to cause trouble in the short term. And Tian Qiqi went out of the city with Tang Xin every day to swallow some medicinal substances. Then she cultivated according to the methods the old matriarch taught.
Especially Tang Xin, who secretly rejoiced at her own talent. Because after only about half a month, she had actually learned to control fire.
This was certainly not due to her talent. It was due to the catalytic medicine that Tian Qiqi’s grandmother gave her.
But Tang Xin was extremely excited. She even increasingly had a feeling that she had already transcended ordinary people. After all, now she was already considered a law cultivator.
These past few days Luo Chen occasionally came by. Tang Xin became increasingly arrogant. There was even a sense of overbearing superiority in her eyes.
Tian Qiqi, regardless of whether Luo Chen came or not, personally cooked every day. Then she prepared the food and set it there.
And Luo Chen, because the refining of the essence of departing fire was getting faster and faster, sometimes even stayed on the back mountain of Bo Village for an entire day.
Yang Tiangang and his young companion naturally also became accustomed to this.
In Yang Ruyu’s eyes, that was because the old ancestor’s temperament had already transcended worldly concerns. He disdained to bother with an ant like Luo Chen.
Otherwise he would have slapped Luo Chen to death long ago.
Until another ten days passed. Luo Chen had already been here for about twenty days. The essence of departing fire was almost completely refined.
Just that although it was almost refined, wanting to absorb all the essence completely was still far off.
But right at this time, Luo Chen finally reached the third layer of awakening!
At this moment Luo Chen had an ethereal, transcendent feeling all over his body. His skin became increasingly like sheep fat jade paste. There was even a sense of natural Dao charm on him.
If he returned to Tongzhou at this moment, Zhang Xiaoman would probably have difficulty recognizing Luo Chen.
Because Luo Chen’s facial features became more profound. His eyes were like autumn waters in July, without the slightest ripple. Sometimes they were even like the vast universe.
His temperament increasingly resembled the immortal venerable of his previous life.
Luo Chen moved about a bit. He felt the surging, mountain toppling, sea overturning aura within his body. The corner of his mouth could not help but trace a cold smile.
Then he raised his head and looked at the deep starry sky.
Luo Chen cared not at all about many things on Earth. For example, the challenge from Martial Saint Zhou Qiankun was truly just child’s play in his eyes.
What he truly cared about was on the other side of the starry sky. Those former enemies and formidable rivals from his previous life. The Taiyi Immortal Body, the Little Demon Lord, the Daoless Divine Son, and so on. At this time, they had probably already surpassed his current cultivation level. They had already stepped onto the strongest trial path of the starry sky, right?
It was a pity that in his previous life, he did not go. Because at that time, he was very weak. But in this life, Luo Chen decided he must make up for this regret. He would fight his way in from the entrance. He would fight until no one on the entire strongest trial path of the starry sky dared to claim supremacy!
Wait. It will be soon. Wait for me to return treading the heavens!
Luo Chen withdrew his gaze. He had the Taihuang Scripture suppress his cultivation level. He still only retained partial cultivation.
This was the tempering of the Taihuang Scripture. Otherwise, how could Luo Chen, who possessed the Taihuang Scripture, be so weak? How could he have confidence to compete for supremacy over the eternal heavens and earth?
The trials of the mortal world, Luo Chen would continue.
Looking at the foot of the mountain, Luo Chen turned and left. At this moment dawn was approaching.
Yang Tiangang, leading Yang Ruyu, had already walked up. They brushed past Luo Chen.
But at that moment, Yang Tiangang suddenly felt his heart pounding wildly. It was as if he had encountered some primordial fierce beast.
But when he looked at Luo Chen again, that feeling had already disappeared. Luo Chen still seemed like an ordinary person.
“What is it, Old Ancestor!” Yang Ruyu asked in puzzlement.
“Perhaps it was my misperception. It should just be a misperception.” Yang Tiangang himself shook his head. That was impossible.
How old was Luo Chen? How could he possibly have an aura that made him afraid? Thinking about it felt laughable.
However, he planned to find an opportunity to test Luo Chen’s martial skills later.
These past few days he had also heard that Luo Chen was a martial artist. He had beaten Tian Guanyu into hospital. This made even Yang Tiangang feel surprised. After all, he had observed Luo Chen for so long. He had never discovered any feeling that Luo Chen knew a few moves!
Dispelling the doubts in his heart, Yang Tiangang decided that the next time he saw Luo Chen again, he would simply take action directly. Anyway, he could take this opportunity to beat the other person up.
After all, this young man displeased him. He was too lacking in respect.
