This time.
Chu Chen did not deny it, he nodded and said, "The Body Tempering Pill can indeed improve cultivation.
But this is only an auxiliary effect, not the true foundation of martial arts.
My Martial Disciple Ninefold realm was forged through hard training and combat."
"But it's useless to talk about this now, we should talk about the antidote."
"What do you want?" The white-haired old man stared coldly at Chu Chen.
He said in a chilling tone, "Don't you forget, your mother is just a dog raised by our Chu clan!"
Chu Chen frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"You are wrong, my mother is not a dog, she is my only family.
And I am your biological son, we are grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing honor and disgrace."
Chu Chen said lightly.
"Hmph."
The white-haired old man snorted, "Then tell me, how exactly are we to share honor and disgrace?"
Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Hand over that batch of goods."
"What? What did you say? Are you crazy?! That is enough resources to support our Chu clan for generations!
You want me to hand it over, it's impossible!" The white-haired old man flatly refused.
"Do you think these things truly belong to our Chu family?" Chu Chen retorted.
The white-haired old man's face twitched, and he fell silent.
Indeed, those shops were in the hands of the royal family, and only their Chu clan could touch them.
However, he was reluctant to give up the goods, all of which were the money he had earned in his life.
Suddenly, the white-haired old man looked up and sneered, "Since you are so stubborn, then we will go our separate ways!"
He picked up the carrier pigeon beside him and released it.
Whoosh—
The carrier pigeon spread its wings and flew high into the distance!
The white-haired old man's expression was sinister, as if he was anticipating a certain outcome.
Chu Heng and Chu Feng looked nervous and secretly transmitted, "Chen'er, be careful!"
Chu Chen, however, was unconcerned.
A moment later, the carrier pigeon that had flown to the royal palace returned.
"Hmm?"
Chu Chen and Chu Feng both looked puzzled, not understanding why the carrier pigeon had returned.
But Chu Chen's gaze suddenly changed, flashing with a sharp light.
He saw that tied to the pigeon's back was a sheepskin scroll!
Opening the sheepskin scroll.
He saw four words written on it: Martial Skill Manual!
Chu Chen and Chu Feng's eyes almost popped out, looking at Chu Chen in disbelief, and exclaimed, "This, this is..."
Martial Skills!
There really are martial skills!
"Where did you get it?" Chu Chen trembled with excitement.
Martial Skills!
The ultimate secret art for martial artists to cultivate!
Martial arts secret arts are divided into introductory, mortal, profound, and yellow ranks.
Each rank represents different cultivation techniques and combat skills practiced by martial artists, and their power naturally varies!
Martial Skill Manuals are the most top-tier cultivation scriptures!
If martial arts manuals are divided into mortal, profound, and yellow ranks.
Then the martial arts moves and techniques practiced by martial artists are collectively called martial skills!
Chu Chen had heard his grandfather talk about it.
According to his grandfather, among the martial arts families, the lowest martial skills are at the Earth rank.
And ancient sects with thousands of years of inheritance teach Heaven rank techniques!
"This is a reward from the Clan Head," Chu Heng quickly explained. "The Clan Head saw your great progress recently.
So he decided to bestow upon you a set of martial skills to help you grow quickly."
Chu Heng was secretly delighted, he wished the Clan Head would bestow all the martial skill manuals of the Chu clan upon Chu Chen!
After all, martial skill manuals are extremely valuable!
Once Chu Chen possessed an Earth rank technique, even if his talent was a bit lacking, he would surely be able to reach the realm of a Martial Master!
Even, with extraordinary luck, he might be able to condense true qi and become a Martial Lord!
In this way, the rise of the Chu clan would be just around the corner!
However, Chu Chen sneered after hearing his words.
"You think Father would give me a Profound rank martial skill? Heh, this is fake news, isn't it?"
"Profound rank martial skill?"
Chu Heng was stunned.
Profound rank martial skills are expensive! Unless it's a powerful force like a martial academy or the royal family, they are not qualified to possess them!
Like their Chu family, with only the industries of one city, they cannot afford it.
"We have no reason to lie to you, the Clan Head has indeed left you a Profound rank martial skill, this is the Clan Head's oral decree!"
Chu Heng said urgently.
"I don't believe you," Chu Chen shook his head.
He said lightly, "If what you said is true, the Clan Head would have sent someone long ago.
Why would he delay until now to tell me."
"This..."
Chu Heng was speechless. He thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Hongshan should have settled this matter long ago.
"What exactly are you thinking?" The white-haired old man's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
"Do you really dare to fight me to the death?!"
A cold smile appeared on Chu Chen's lips, and he said, "Fight to the death? Heh, I advise you not to dream."
"Although I don't understand the power of Martial Soul, I can clearly feel.
Your body is filled with dense malevolent energy and death energy, you won't live for more than half a month!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Chu Heng's face changed drastically.
What is Martial Soul power? That is the power that only Void Realm experts can control!
And the birth of Martial Soul power is extremely difficult, only those with special physiques can awaken it!
"Chu Heng."
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes and slowly uttered three words. He knew his guess was correct.
The death energy and malevolent energy on the white-haired old man were not entirely normal.
Instead, it was likely that some evil secret technique was used to extract the malevolent energy and death energy from corpses and infuse it into his own body.
This secret technique is very evil, and ordinary people would not dare to cultivate it.
And this old man had clearly been cultivating for a long time, and perhaps only someone as ruthless as him would dare to take such a risk!
"What do you want?"
Seeing him suddenly stand up, the white-haired old man stumbled back several steps in fear.
He had just spoken casually, trying to scare these two brothers.
Who knew that this young man was so vigilant!
"Heh."
With a contemptuous smile, Chu Chen took a step forward and charged directly at the white-haired old man.
"You little beast, you're courting death!"
The white-haired old man cursed angrily and immediately drew his sword. Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Clang...
In an instant, swords and sabers clashed, and the sound of metal striking was deafening.
The white-haired old man waved his arms, unleashing his ultimate moves!
"Get lost!"
Unfortunately, his strength was too weak, not even reaching the sixth level of Body Tempering, how could he be Chu Chen's opponent now?
Bang! Bang!
In just a few seconds, the white-haired old man was knocked to the ground, covered in blood, his face filled with panic and ferocity.
"You dare to kill me!
Chu Chen's expression was icy, and a chilling killing intent erupted from his eyes!
"You... don't do anything rash!
"This is Shili Slope outside the city, there are no people around. Once you kill me, you will definitely not escape!
"Your mother is in the city, she is a Martial Disciple of the seventh heaven!
"If I die, she will definitely seek revenge on you!"
The white-haired old man was terrified and quickly brought out his last resort, hoping to scare the young man.
Hearing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly.
As expected of Shili Slope outside the city, it was not too far from Luoyang City.
