One month later!

Late at night, above the mountain forest at the summit of the mountain azure aura was flashing. When looked at from far, it is like a star fallen on the mountains peak. To avoid others from finding out about his new found strength, Chen Xiang made an excuse of finding herbs and came to practice in mountain forest.

In order to absorb more spirit Qi and sense the wind and the lightning between heaven and earth. He came to the mountain peak. At this time, he saw clouds above the mountain peak starting to rise, the strong wind was blowing and lightning occasionally flashing in between the clouds. A thunderbolt struck the mountain peak, as if trying to destroy it.

This astonishing scene is generated by Chen Xiang while practicing the Azure dragon divine skill. Fierce wind, thunderous lightning in the sky and finally lightning initiated by his practice strikes his body, not only is he refining his body from the lightning, but also from time to time he absorbs the lightning force into his body.

This action can be described as crazy, everybody knows that lightning is one of the most destructive force of nature. Even True martial realm martial artists will not dare to face it, but Chen Xiang is practicing the Azure dragon divine exercise and actually needs the assists of natural lightning.

This bizarre scene lasted till midnight, Chen Xiang’s face which was distorted due to the pain is slowly returning to its former appearance. His clothes have been torn in multiple places and he has black scars on his body while smoke is releasing from them. But from inside those scars azure light is shining. This azure light has strong wood attribute, which is helping him recover from his injuries.

“As long as I am strong, this pain is considered as nothing.” Chen Xiang while clenching his fists and shouting in his heart was enduring the pain from the waves of lightning striking his body. Letting the lightning refine his body.

This deserves to be called a divine exercise, not only does it demonstrate vision, but also allows the body to withstand thunderbolt strikes while refining the body to making it stronger.

Several days past. Chen Xiang has been repeatedly hit by lightning time and time again. Now he has completed the basic Quenching body!

From Chen Xiang’s eyes lightning is flashing out, his pupils looking firm and resolute, it is really astonishing.

“Worthy to be called a divine exercise, Mortal martial exercises pales in comparison! In one month, it has allowed me to enter the 5th level of Mortal martial realm!”

Chen Xiang inspected the five True Qi whirlpool inside his dantian, it has already grown stronger when compared to before. Chen Xiang can now control True Qi as he desires, this is the 5th level of Mortal martial realm, True Qi realm!

He is sixteen year old and has already reached the 5th level of Mortal martial realm, he can be considered a genius!

On each of Chen Xiang’s palms, one can see a red and an azure colored True Qi. One is fire attributed True Qi while the other is wood attributed True Qi. This is what he cohesion out from the Azure dragon and Vermilion bird divine exercise.

Chen Xiang felt like he has been reborn, either be it True Qi or his body, it is incomparable to his former self. After all, the True Qi within his body is cultivated using a divine exercise, while his body is refined from that True Qi.

Chen Xiang can finally understand why divine exercises are called as such, practicing this exercise can allow people become god!

“The spirit Qi here is thin, if you want to advance by leaps and bounds, then can only rely on pills! Now that you can release true Qi fire, you can begin to learn alchemy.” Su Meiyao said to him via transmitting.

Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou also hopes that Chen Xiang can become strong as soon as possible, so they can recover their strength quickly, the sisters feel fear and helplessness without their former strength.

……….

……….

“Yo, if it isn’t Chen family’s great young master? The Yao family genius alchemy master has challenged you. Apparently challenge will be both in alchemy and martial techniques.”

Chen Xiang just entered Chen family gate only to see an arrogant teenager talking to him.

“Challenge? When did this happen?” Chen Xiang is a little surprised, he only went out for few days.

That teenager laughed at him with disdain said:” So you don’t even know, we thought you were afraid and hiding! This happened ten days ago, who told you to have fiancée fancied by the Yao family’s genius? You truly do have bad luck!”

Chen Xiang was enduring the impulse to beat this prick up. With a smile he said:” Chen Zhenhua, you still remember that when we were younger, I made you fall on your face on dog Sh*t? Now you still wanna talk back to me?”

This little prick is Chen Zhenhua, his father is a commander of one of Chen family’s branches. Across the South martial empire there are lots of Chen family branches, these commanders are also very strong, only during some important matter will they gather at Chen family villa.

Chen Zhenhua’s face twisted with anger, but he has to bear it down, with ridicule he said:” Of course, we will see how you defeat Yao family’s genius, I would also like to see how you lose your stunning fiancée.”

Then, Chen Zhenhua departed while laughing.

Chen Xiang snorted with a low sound, walked away, to find his father, on his way back he heard about Chen family having some accident, so those branch commanders returned.

Tianhu Park, inside the library.

Chen Xiang ran in a hurry and quickly asked: “Dad, is it true grandfather has withdrawn from the patriarch’s position ?”

Chen Tianhu while looking dignified with a nod said:” It’s true! Your Grandfather has gone into seclusion and is looking for martial arts sect. The Chen family branch commanders will arrive here to compete for his position one after another.”

A Chen family patriarch gave up his position, which means a new patriarch have to be elected. This time many things are bound to happen, because over the years, during the selection of Chen family patriarch position many battles will occur, getting injured is also inevitable.

Becoming a martial arts aristocratic family patriarch, one can have high authority alongside rich resources and many people are desperate to get that position even at risk of their life.

Chen Xiang’s father will also compete for patriarch position, this time Chen Xiang will certainly be involved, if he does not have strength, it will be quite dangerous for him.

Chen family patriarch position is never inherited, it rely on competition to elect, after all in this world strength is revered, only with a show of strength will allow others to follow, So for Chen family patriarch position, others can only be convinced with strength.

Chen Xiang sees the Chen Tianhu’s complexion is very dignified, he carefully asked:” Dad is it troublesome?”

Chen Tianhu with a sigh, said:” Very troublesome, to compete with me for the elders position are many, including two brothers who I have scruples…….no need to say this, but the Yao family genius also issued you a challenge, it would be best to reject him.”

Reject? After learning about this so called challenge, Chen Xiang does not intend to refuse, he is now a Mortal martial realm Level-5 martial artist and also practices divine exercise. Because he can restrain his breath with Tai Chi divine exercise, Chen Tianhu cannot find out that his son has advanced by leaps and bounds.

“Dad, I cannot allow Xue family and Yao family to look down upon me! I must accept the challenge!” Chen Xiang’s gaze is firm, his eyes are filled with war like intention, from his body emerges immense polished True Qi, which makes Chen Tianhu’s pupil contract, his heart is very surprised. He can see that his son has advanced like never before.

Chen Tianhu can only think that his son certainly had some kind of adventure, but he refrained from asking. He is happy that his son is strong, and that is enough for him.

Chen Tianhu big hands patted on Chen Xiang’s shoulder, with a laugh he said:” Daddy will support you, you must make Yao family genius know that there is sky beyond skies!”

Chen Xiang with a hollow laugh said:” Dad, can you support me with some money?”

Chen Xiang although has a fierce father, but he himself is quite poor, moreover his father was worried that he will turn into playboy. So his father only let him live a simple life, which leads to a dignified elder’s grandson looking very lackluster.

Though Chen Tianhu is formidable, but in order to elevate his strength and also help Chen Xiang, he has spent a lot. So he has not allowed Chen Xiang to spend money randomly.

“What for?”

“I want to buy spirit herb for planting.” Chen Xiang whispered, while rotating his eyes.

Planting spirit herbs, that requires experience, but also meticulous care, ordinarily those who plants herb are alchemists, generally old men with white hair, one teenager planting spirit herbs with no experience is unusual, as it also require to have patience, and a good spirit herb requires many years to mature.

For Chen Tianhu, it’ll also be the first time seeing a teenager planting spirit herbs, but he sees Chen Xiang’s pupils radiated with confident, helplessly, he pulls out a storage pouch.

“If I came to know you are joking, I’ll kick your ass and make you sit on a stool for a month, are we clear?” Chen Tianhu smiles with gloom, which makes Chen Xiang tremble.

“3000 spirit coins! If you don’t have the confidence to double the amount, then in the future do not ask me for money.” Chen Tianhu took out one specially manufactured spirit note.

Chen Xiang with a smile took it and said:” Rest assured, I will become Chen family’s youngest alchemist.”

Chen Tianhu heart got startled, he naturally knows Chen Xiang does not have a spiritual vein, but in his heart he is also secretly happy. If what he said becomes true, then it will make Chen family even more formidable. He knows that in the Chen family there have been no alchemists for many years.

Chen Tianhu laughed:” Quickly get out, don’t even think about trying to trick me, or you will get a beating! I will go respond to the Yao family.”

Chen Xiang took the 3000 spirit coin and quickly left.
