Chapter 204 I Almost Become Serious

In the capital of Great Zhou… The citizens discussed fervently.

“Have you heard? Su Wen has been imprisoned.” “Haha, who asked him to cause such a huge disaster, causing our Great Zhou to lose so much land?”

“That’s right. If you ask me, 30 years isn’t enough actually.” “Who’s his father? Su Changqing! An ordinary person would have been executed by a thousand cuts a long time ago. His being imprisoned is just to show that he has taken responsibility.” To the citizens of the Great Zhou, they also needed an outlet to vent after their failure.

However, to some people, this news was simply too negative. For example… the three from the Fire Barbarians who came to kidnap Su Wen… Tamu Chuan, Xu Qiao, and Sula sat together. Sora said with a bitter expression, “What should we do? That Su Wen has been imprisoned. I was still thinking of finding a chance to let him taste me. Isn’t there no other way?” Xu Qiao said in a deep voice, “From the looks of it now, I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult to have a chance within three years. The Great Zhou Heavenly Prison is not something that ordinary people can enter. The people locked in are all extremely important. If it’s just the three of us, wanting to forcefully charge in is a fool’s dream.”

Sula looked at Tamu Chuan and said, “Then what should we do? Should we report this to the Grand Elder?”

At this moment however, Tamu Chuan was currently daydreaming. “The roasted whole cow yesterday was delicious… The capital of Great Zhou is so nice… Why don’t I go to Hundred Flowers Pavilion to see the world some other day? I always hear people talking about it…” As he pondered, he heard Sula’s question.

Only then did he manage to react.

What did this woman say? Return? Return to that dogshit place that was the Fire Barbarian Tribe? Go out and hunt wild beasts every day? He said with a solemn expression, “The two of you are too pessimistic! What price did the Great Elder pay to allow us to have such a body? No matter what, we have to complete the mission before returning.” Sula frowned. “So what do we do?” “Wait!” Tamu Chuan said seriously. “Wait for the right time. That Su Wen will come out sooner or later…”

He turned to look at Xu Qiao and said shamelessly, “Brother Xu, see if you still have any money. Give me some more. How about this? Let’s split the work. Sula and I will be responsible for kidnapping Su Wen. Brother Xu, you will be responsible for our expenses! When we return to the Fire Barbarians Tribe, I will definitely report to the High Priest. Brother Xu will be the leader of this operation!”

How could Xu Qiao not tell what he was thinking? “Hehe… then thank you, Brother Tamu Chuan.”

Xu Qiao did not show it on his face, but he secretly started to scheme.

“Su Wen has been thrown into jail. I don’t know how many guards his residence has, but if I find an opportunity… to kill his entire family, his expression will definitely be wonderful when he comes out!” On the other side, in the Golden Wheel Monastery.

Old Monk Huiming’s face was pale, and there were several wounds on his body. At this moment, there was a white cloth wrapped around his body, and there were even traces of blood seeping out. Little Monk Zhizhen brought over some medicine.

“Master, drink some.” Huiming shook his head slightly and said, “This injury of mine isn’t something that can be treated with medicine. The main thing is that there’s a large amount of Chaotic True Qi left in my body, and I need to slowly expel it and dispel it before I can recover. I didn’t expect that my actions this time would actually cause such a huge disaster. If it wasn’t for the few people in the palace possessing formidable combat strength, I’m afraid it would be difficult for Master to return alive.” “It’s better to drink some, Master. This is a prescription that I specially got someone to prescribe to replenish your vitality.” Seeing how obedient Zhizhen was, Monk Huiming took the medicine. Zhizhen was beside him, massaging his wounds.

The moment Huiming raised his head to drink…

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Zhizhen’s face.

The relic in front of his chest suddenly erupted with black light, and at the same time, Monk Zhizhen’s hand turned into a sharp claw.

Splat!

His hand stabbed into Monk Huiming’s chest and grabbed the old monk’s heart! He was ambushed! Huiming never expected that Zhizhen would deal such a ruthless blow so suddenly! He was already severely injured, so his protective Yuan Qi was not effective. He had no time to defend himself. Splat!

Zhizhen crushed his heart in one move!

Bang! Even so, Zhizhen was sent flying. Before Huiming died, he mobilized a trace of True Qi! This single thread was enough to send Zhizhen flying. Zhizhen landed on the ground, unable to move.

His bones were mostly shattered.

There was blood in his mouth.

There were even bits of his internal organs that he had spat out.

However, he was not dead!

A cruel smile appeared on his face.

“Hehe! The old fellow… was too careless?” After a while, Zhizhen staggered up from the ground and licked his blood-stained hand.

He slowly walked to the old monk’s corpse. Meanwhile, Huiming still maintained his shocked expression, even in death.

He never expected that Zhizhen, an ant, had actually dared to attack him.

However, due to his serious injuries and carelessness, he still died.

He did not even leave behind his last words.

Zhizhen placed his right hand on the old monk’s head and muttered, “Don’t blame me, Master… didn’t you raise me to make me stronger?”

Huiming’s corpse withered rapidly. His True Qi and flesh flowed through Zhizhen’s palm and into his body. The black aura on his face intensified. His smile grew even wider. It looked extremely terrifying at close glance. But at the same time, he looked as though he was crying To be precise, only his right eye was crying. Tears streamed down his face, and the right eye was filled with sorrow… Su Wen followed the female disciple to the Sixth Peak. Along the way, he saw many female disciples.

When they saw Su Wen, many people started pointing at him.

The news had long spread in the sect that the sect had accepted two extremely talented disciples. Not long after, they arrived at Wu Yuehan’s residence.

It was a hut constructed out of purple bamboo.

The surroundings were filled with clear water and mist, and the scenery was not bad. When Su Wen entered, the female disciple retreated, and Wu Yuehan swam out from the side… Her appearance was like the Legendary Jade Sword skin of the Wind Maiden Janna.

(Author’s Note: I don’t dare to describe it, afraid. Use your imagination, or Baidu.) Elegant but not lacking in grace… with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes… “Junior Brother Su…” she whispered softly. Just based on her words… Su Wen could tell that this woman was craving for his body… Su Wen sat upright and looked straight ahead… I’m someone who has seen the world, but you’re trying to make me wag my tail just by exposing two legs? What fair skin though… Wu Yuehan sat down and picked up the teapot on the table before gently pouring a cup for Su Wen.

Her charming eyes drifted towards Su Wen as she smiled. “Junior Brother, are you used to the sect so far?”

“Not bad… not bad…” “Junior Brother got married very early…” “When I was young, I was insensible.”

From their words, they understood each other’s intentions. They were all experienced players… Wu Yue’s charming eyes batted lightly as she leaned against Su Wen and sighed gently. “Sigh… Senior Sister, I’m very lonely every day… This huge sect doesn’t have anyone that I can love…”

Su Wen had a stern expression. “Senior Sister, as martial artists, how can we bemoan and pity ourselves over the affairs of men and women? I have two martial arts techniques that I would like Senior Sister to correct!” “Watch me use the Rippling Wave Palm!”

“Now look at my Great Sage Sea-Stirring Rod!” “Ah! Junior Brother, you’re so strong!” After a ‘friendly academic exchange’, Su Wen

left.

Wu Yuehan’s personal female disciple rushed in hurriedly.

She helped Wu Yuehan up and asked, “Master, are you alright?” Wu Yuehan shook her head slightly and said, “I’m fine. I just didn’t expect such a brave person to exist in this world. I’m not his match either.”

“It’s fine, Master. Next time, I’ll jointly attack this person with you! We can definitely defeat him!”

Wu Yuehan rolled her eyes and scolded jokingly, “Go to the side, little hussy!” She then started calculating. Counting the days, there should not be any problems with her ovulation.

With such a strong talent, the child she gave to would definitely be a genius!

When she saw Su Su’s talent that day, she was simply too envious. Since she could not get her, she thought of another method…

As Su Wen descended the mountain, he hummed softly. “The young man doesn’t know that Auntie is good, he treats the young girl as a treasure. Auntie is good, Auntie is wonderful…” (TL Note: This is a comedic poem of sorts explaining why men should go for the older women who are able to support them and are more experienced as compared to young girls.) He was not stupid. He almost guessed Wu Yuehan’s goal the moment he got the invitation.

However, since the woman was delivering herself to his doorstep, there was no reason for him to reject it. Su Wen was not the kind of person who would not eat meat when it was at his mouth.

Furthermore… After learning about his abnormality from Ni Hongxiao, Su Wen was very assured… It was not like she could get anything out of him. In next to no time, the day of the Nine Peaks Competition arrived.

This was also the happiest day for the disciples. To the majority of the disciples, they were just watching the fun. In any case, it was way far from their turn to comprehend it. Amongst the tens of thousands of people, only the top few had the qualifications.

And this referred to talent, not cultivation.

In a martial arts arena with tens of thousands of people!

The seats were filled with disciples, as well as some Elders and experts who were seated in front, preparing to fight.

Su Wen and Jiang Ye sat together with Ni Hongxiao beside him. Su Su sat in Ni Hongxiao’s arms. Jiang Ye smiled. “This is also a grand occasion for our sect. After all, it will be embarrassing if we lose in front of so many people.” At this moment, Wu Yuehan sashayed over, twisting her hips as she walked over. The moment she entered, the male disciples present screamed crazily. Jiang Ye said, “In this sect, Junior Sister Wu is the dream goddess of many disciples. I don’t know how many disciples want to be intimate with her.”

“She’s not too bad!”

Su Wen said calmly. Jiang Ye looked at him suspiciously.”???” Ni Hongxiao’s hand had already snaked to Su Wen’s waist at some unknown point. She twisted it forcefully.

At this moment, Su Su pulled her hand back and rubbed the spot for Su Wen. She turned around and said, “Mommy, you can’t do this. It will hurt.”

By now, Wu Yuehan had already walked to Su Wen’s side. She said to Jiang Ye, “Senior Brother Jiang, can we change seats?”

“Uh….”

Old Jiang stood up and sat at the side. Wu Yuehan casually sat down before saying with a smile, “Brother Daqiang is already confirmed to be the first person to comprehend it this year. Senior Brother Jiang is indeed scheming.” “Hehe!” Jiang Ye smiled and did not say anything That was true. There were very few Heaven Rank disciples, and Heaven Rank experts generally didn’t like to take in disciples. Jiang Ye was the one who had fought for Su Wen’s spot. In the end, although observing the Flame God Dao Ancestor’s appearance was the an important opportunity, the insights most people got might not be better than a Heaven Rank technique. It still depended on one’s fate. Therefore, very few Heaven Rank disciples would intentionally take advantage of such an opening

There was no need to, it was also too degrading. As they spoke, more and more people entered the venue. It became extremely lively. Beside the arena stages, a chair was also placed. Suddenly, an old man flew in.

He sat on the chair and said indifferently, “The Rankings for the Nine Peaks, begin! Please proceed to the second arena stage to compete for the second spot!”

Wu Yue smiled. “This is the youngest Heaven Rank cultivator in our sect, Elder Zhao. He ascended to the Heaven Rank 13 years ago. This time, he’s in charge of protecting the combatants. Don’t worry about fighting in the arena. As long as the outcome is determined, Heaven Rank experts will stop you in time.” Su Wen nodded, but he suddenly felt Wu Yuehan’s hand snake past his clothes and into his waist. At this time, an Elder’s figure shot forwards. With a few leaps, he landed on the arena!

Jiang Ye continued to introduce, “Second Peak’s Elder, Yuan Kai. This person is currently the strongest among the nine peaks. The Sect Master said that it’s not easy for him to take this spot, so we’ll give it to him. I estimate that when it’s around the 4th or 5th spot, I’ll be more confident when I go on stage. There’s not much difference in energy to comprehend as well.”

From his past experience, the first nine were extremely stable. Wu Yuehan nodded in agreement. “That’s true. Yuan Kai has been at the peak of the 9th Grade for many years. Although it’s impossible for him to break through to the Heaven Rank, he has indeed been the strongest in recent years.”

Yuan Kai stood on the stage and looked down at the audience. He shouted, “Is anyone coming up?” For a moment, no one spoke. At this moment, Su Wen stood up and smiled. “Let me!”

Jiang Ye was shocked. “Are you crazy? You’re not his match!”

Su Wen smiled and said, “Anyway, I still have you to back me up. I want to try! I don’t want my daughter to be behind others.” As he spoke, Su Wen had already leaped out. In an instant, he landed on the stage. He looked at the group of disciples with a faint smile.

There were tens of thousands of people! Wasn’t this… a great opportunity to harvest Emotional Value? “Hello, everyone. My name is Su Daqiang. I’m big and strong. If you don’t believe me… you can ask Peak Master Wu…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly fell silent!

(Ding-dong… incurred the wrath of Zhang Erniu… +10 Emotional Value] [Ding-dong… incurred the wrath of Li San… +20 Emotional Value]

[Ding-Dong…] With just this sentence, Su Wen’s Emotional Value began to increase crazily. Who’s this person? “Where did this c*nt come from? Elder Yuan quickly beat this guy to death!” “Wow… are all the elders like this?”

“Bullsh*t, Peak Master Wu is our goddess!”

The disciples present went crazy.

Yuan Kai looked at Su Wen and said calmly, “Your cultivation level is one grade lower than mine, so it’s impossible for you to defeat me.” Su Wen smiled. “How would we know if we don’t fight?”

At this moment, Heaven Rank Elder Zhao looked at Su Wen and said, “Begin!”

Yuan Kai reached out and held the red sword in his hand.

He looked coldly at Su Wen and said, “Make your move. If I make my move, you won’t have a chance.”

Su Wen smiled and did not stand on ceremony.

Boom!

Su Wen did not hold back. Facing a 9th Grade Earth Rank elder, he did not want to fail. With his violent physical strength combined with his movement technique, this was the first time he erupted with such strength! It was as if another Wu Kunhu had appeared. In an instant, his figure vanished! There was even a sonic boom! The Heaven Rank Elder Zhao’s eyes widened. He cheered loudly, “Good kid! You have some skills.”

Bang!

Su Wen’s fist landed on Yuan Kai’s sword!

At this point, Yuan Kai’s eyes were filled with shock!

This fellow was too powerful. He was clearly only at the 8th Grade of Earth Rank, but with this speed, no matter how many 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivators there were, they would not be able to catch up to him! A smile appeared on Su Wen’s face before he suddenly disappeared again! A finger pointed out! Yuan Kai’s speed was extremely fast. After all, he was the strongest 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator in the Flame God Sect, so he was able to forcefully keep up with Su Wen’s speed. The two of them began to fight at high speed! The more he fought, the more shocked Yuan Kai became!

Too strong! Really too strong! Su Wen was the strongest opponent he had ever met in his life.

The intense battle between the two of them was extremely spectacular, causing all the disciples to be dumbstruck. Su Wen could also tell that although this Yuan Kai did not develop his body to the limit like Wu Kunhu, he was definitely not like an ordinary 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator. However, Su Wen was even more terrifying at this moment. He could rely purely on the combination of his physical body and True Qi to forcefully suppress Yuan Kai. Watching the fight between the two of them, a woman sat beside Dongfang Ju. She smiled and said, “I think this person is not bad. Why don’t you let him come back with me?” Dongfang Ju said, “This person has just joined the Flame God Sect. To be honest, I don’t know his background either. If you use him… aren’t you afraid that there will be a problem?” The woman’s gaze was fierce as she said, “Royal Father’s days are numbered. I want to become the Empress of the Great Chu, and there must be many people with powerful battle prowess by my side. If your Flame God Sect is willing to help me, after I ascend the throne, I’m willing to push the Flame God Sect as the sole Orthodoxy in Great Chu!” Dongfang Ju narrowed his eyes. It sounded nice, but after she really ascended the throne and controlled the power of the Great Chu royal family, it was hard to say if this promise was reliable.

He sighed and said, “Back then, you joined the Flame God Sect because of this idea, right? Now that you have the brand of the Flame God Sect on you, you want to make it impossible for the Flame God Sect to break free. However, even if I give you an expert at the 9th Grade of Earth Rank, what can you do? As a woman, it’s extremely difficult for you to succeed in the competition for the throne.” “I know… but I am unwilling!” The woman gritted her teeth and said, “Why can’t a woman be the emperor? As long as there is a chance, I will not give up.” At this moment, Yuan Kai was already at a disadvantage against Su Wen! “Raging Flames Slashing the Heavens!” He let out a loud roar and his sword burned with raging flames. The huge fire sword expanded four to five meters tall and was about to slash at Su Wen. Without any fear, Su Wen lightly stepped forward and pointed forward! He directly activated his Holy Flames! An extremely weak wisp of holy flames flew into the sword!

Bang! The huge flame sword was turned into the color of the Holy Flame!.

Yuan Kai belatedly realized that he had lost control of the flames.

This was the absolute difference in talent.

Bang!

At that moment the Holy Flames burst apart, the Heaven Rank elder made his move.

A violent aura surged out. Even the Holy Flames found it difficult to burn within this Qi!

The entire venue fell silent!

Yuan Kai’s red sword was already covered in cracks.

Yuan Kai sighed and said, “I lost!” Su Wen smiled. “Not bad, you almost forced me to be serious.” When Yuan Kai heard this, he immediately looked up at Su Wen angrily. These words were a little humiliating! Dongfang Ju looked at Su Wen, who had defeated Yuan Kai with an 8th Grade Earth Rank cultivation base, and frowned. Was this guy really that strong? Recalling the battle just now, even he might not be able to win. This fellow’s flames could actually ignite and swallow the flames of others? To a fire-attribute cultivator, this was simply a nightmare.

“F*ck! This person is so strong?”

“To be able to defeat Elder Yuan, it can’t be fake, right?” “But his mouth is too annoying.” “All the elders, come on, let’s kill this guy!” Everyone was shouting all sorts of jeers and curses.

This was because Su Wen’s words were clearly too pretentious.

However, none of the elders were willing to go up. The main reason was that they felt that there was no need. This fellow was so strong, and most of their own martial techniques were fire-attributed battle techniques. Once they went up, they would be firmly restrained. There was no need to embarrass themselves.

At this moment, Wu Yuehan came to the side of the arena and asked with a smile, “Daqiang, can you give this position to me?”

Su Wen squatted down and smiled. “If your boobs are as big as your head, I can consider

it!”

“Hmph! Forget it if you don’t want to!”

Soon, Su Wen left the arena stage. The following arena battles were even more intense… One rank after another was fixed.

However, it no longer had anything to do with Su Wen. After just a single round of competition, he earned a total of 200,000 Emotional Value points.

Not a bad harvest!

Finally, after the rankings, all the people who had obtained the qualifications to comprehend, as well as a group of elders, arrived at the Holy Land of the Flame God Sect, the Flame God Palace where the Flame God Dao Ancestor’s statue was located.

The moment he entered the hall, Su Wen saw a statue about ten meters tall. Its face could not be seen clearly, but this statue was covered in raging flames.

Although the flames were fierce, they did not cause any harm to the surroundings and one could not feel any rise in temperature.

Dongfang Ju said in a low voice, “This is the Flame God Dao Ancestor’s statue. Now that the flames are abundant, it means that one can comprehend the cultivation technique through the statue. Do you see the praying mat below? Sit on it and circulate your cultivation technique.

Keep your eyes fixed on the statue of the Dao Ancestor and you will be able to comprehend some insights. The energy stored in the statue is limited, so as you comprehend the flames, they will decrease. Daqiang, go on. Work hard.”

Su Wen shook his head and smiled. He turned around and looked at Su Su. “I’ll swap with her. She can go first.”

After saying that, Su Wen squatted down and smiled. “Su Su, do your best!”

“Yes!”

Su Su nodded and skipped to the bottom of the statue.

Su Su sat down cross-legged and began to rotate her cultivation technique.

Slowly, the flames of the statue started to disappear, and Su Su’s eyes looked a little dazed, as though she was having an otherworldly experience. At first, no one thought much of it, but as the flames of the statue that were ten meters tall decreased bit by bit…

Nine meters… Eight… Seven… Dongfang Ju clenched his fists.

This decrease in the height of the flames meant that Su Su had comprehended something extraordinary.

Su Wen smiled.

As the flames continued to decrease, the people ranked at the bottom felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their hearts.

Five… Four… Three…

Finally, when there were only two meters of flames left, Su Su awoke.

Right at this moment, a pair of golden flame wings suddenly appeared on her back!

“Huuu!”

Su Su flew up and soared through the hall!

“Father, look, I can fly!”

The expressions of the people behind him had already turned extremely ugly. 80% of the flames had been extinguished… Although this technique was not at the Paragon Rank, it was definitely a top tier Heaven Rank technique.

Su Su flew straight into Su Wen’s arms.

“Father… the technique I’ve comprehended is called the Nine Stances of the Heavenly Phoenix!”

Su Wen patted Su Su’s head dotingly and smiled. “Not bad! Good job, Su Su.”

While he was happy, the others were disgusted.

From the looks of it, only two or three people could still study the statue.

Dongfang Ju was also grinning from ear to ear.

After all, she was his disciple.

He smiled at Su Wen. “Daqiang, it’s your turn this time.”

Su Wen nodded and did not stand on ceremony. He walked over and sat on the praying mat before circulating his cultivation technique.

The more he looked at the statue, the more Su Wen felt that his consciousness was a little blurry. At this moment, the cry of an avian beast sounded in his ears!
