Chapter 54: A Bunch of Good Grandsons

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

This bunch of students had powerful backgrounds, prideful and arrogant. They didn’t even feel any respect for him, Zheng Fengrui.

So, why were they like a bunch of obedient grandsons and granddaughters before Xia Qingchen?

“Cough… this. Students, Xia Qingchen is actually a junior student. Don’t bully him when we are heading there, understand?” Zheng Fengrui smiled in an amicable manner.

Shaoxuan frowned. “Martial tutor Zheng. We are now talking to teacher, can you please shut up?”

Eh~

Zheng Fengrui was immediately embarrassed. He stared at Xia Qingchen who was basically being worshipped as he felt bewildered and jealous.

What the hell was going on exactly?

Xia Qingchen felt it was incredibly noisy. He involuntarily frowned. “Can you guys be quiet?”

His words were like a command, instantly making them shut up as they dispersed.

Each of them was so obedient like they were not students of the A class.

“I will see the situation. When I have the time and the mood, I can consider guiding you all one more time,” Xia Qingchen calmly spoke.

His words drew wild, joyful applause!

One couldn’t blame them for being so passionate because the eight students that had listened to his pointers had all achieved a huge transformation to their strength in this half-a-month.

Either their cultivation bases had broken through, or the proficiency of their martial skill had risen to the next level. Nonetheless, all of them had obtained great improvements.

This was why such a scene occurred.

Staring at the lively crowd, Zhou Xuelin who had been like the moon surrounded by the stars earlier now constituted a lonely sight, becoming someone cut-off from the crowd.

She stared at Xia Qingchen with jealousy, growing even more determined to break through to the third fold-level of the middle constellation stage and teach Xia Qingchen a lesson!

Not long later, they moved out.

Each of them was given a horse and they hurried on for ten days and nights before they finally reached the Myriad Longevity Manor hidden in the Ten-Thousand Miles Plains near the borders of Lone Cloud City.

The estate covered an area of ten thousand acres. All sorts of buildings could be seen all around.

There were many experts of the martial pavilion guarding here, with hundreds of servants doing cleaning all year round.

“The time is about right. Tomorrow will be the day where the essence qi erupts. Now, everyone please head to the platform to prepare.” Zheng Fengrui was familiar with the roads here. He led the students to the central-most location in this location.

A 33 meters platform that was built above an ancient well entered the vision of everyone.

On it, there were over ten praying mats.

Everyone rushed over to occupy the advantageous location nearest to the center.

Because when the essence qi erupted, the area at the center would have the most density. Occasionally, the density might reach up to six times that of normal.

Zhou Xuelin was faster than the others and she managed to occupy the mat right at the center. She was complacently staring at Xia Qingchen who was at the side.

However, Xia Qingchen didn’t even look at her. It was like he had no intention to occupy a good position. He was surveying this place and moving around.

“Just wait and see!” Zhou Xuelin stomped her foot and angrily exclaimed.

Xia Qingchen walked around the estate and surveyed each and every corner.

Only then did he return to the platform.

…

During the second day, a stretch of white light appeared in the sky.

In the ancient well below the platform, a churning sound could be heard. It was like something was about to blast out.

Next, a powerful surge of airflow shot into the sky, bringing with it extremely dense essence qi!

In the blink of an eye, the density of essence qi on the platform reached five times that of the outside world.

And the essence qi at the center area roughly reached about six times!

Xia Qingchen indifferently took out the Dragonblood Powder he had prepared and consumed it.

With it, the circulation speed of his martial meridians was increased by a factor of two.

When others absorbed a strand of essence qi, he could absorb two.

In combination with the five times density, it caused Xia Qingchen’s heart to be filled with anticipation.

If he cultivated here for one month, his strength wouldn’t simply reach the first fold-level of the middle constellation stage!

A look of joy appeared on his face, Xia Qingchen then focused on his cultivation.

Ten days passed.

Everyone was still immersed in cultivation, yet Xia Qingchen already started his breakthrough to the middle constellation stage.

The streams of inner force in his meridians folded upon each other again and again, undergoing compression. This caused the space in his martial meridians, which were initially filled to the brim, to hollow out, giving him space to store more inner force.

Break!

Xia Qingchen shouted in his heart. The last stream of inner force stacked upon each other and folded.

Right now, his nine major meridians and ninety-nine minor meridians were churning with the inner force that felt unprecedentedly dense.

He had successfully broken through to the middle constellation stage!

Currently, his inner force could be comparable to someone at the second fold-level of the middle constellation stage.

When used in conjunction with his ‘Nine Dragons in the Sky’, even experts at the third fold-level might not be his match!

He stared at the other students. They completely showed no signs of breaking through at all.

The fastest was Zhou Xuelin, but there was still a very long distance between her and the third fold-level.

Xia Qingchen closed his eyes again.

There were twelve more days remaining and he was completely confident that he would be able to break through to the second level!

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly rang out from outside the manor.

After that, a huge roar and intense sounds of combat echoed out.

The commotion was extremely great. The students, who were in the midst of cultivation, were all awakened.

“What happened?” The students were startled. They conversed while still in a panicked state.

Xia Qingchen left the platform at the first moment and fled to the depths of the Myriad Longevity Manor.

When he turned and looked at the other students who were still on the platform dumbstruck, he involuntarily sighed.

Ultimately, these students were still not too familiar with the dangers of the world. This was clearly an enemy invasion, yet they still stayed at their original spots, not fleeing at all.

“Why are you all still in a daze? Run away quickly!” Xia Qingchen fled into the deepest garden of the Myriad Longevity Manor.

Just after he hid himself, he heard the malevolent laughter of the enemies and the panicked screams of the students.

And right now, there was a beautiful figure running into the garden, trying her best to find a hiding spot.

However, she was already too late by a step.

A bandit in a red cowl laughed evilly as he chased after her.

His ferocious eyes could be seen and his gaze was filled with heat as he stared at the voluptuous and mature figure of the young woman. His gaze was especially fixed on her chest that was heaving up and down violently.

“Truly excellent-grade stuff! Little sister, elder brother will bring you back and allow you to taste the heavenly feeling of being an immortal. How about it?”

He hurriedly chased after. The young woman in the jade-green floral-patterned dress continued to retreat unceasingly, her face pale.

Her eyes were filled with deep fear.

When she retreated to the point where her back was against the wall and had no more space to retreat, she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Don’t come any nearer!”

However, that voice didn’t seem threatening, it sounded like a pleading instead.

The eyes of the masked man in the red cowl grew even more heated. He panted. “Little lady, I can’t control it any longer. This daddy wants you right now!”

He sped over.

The young woman screamed. She used her cultivation and martial skill to resist, unleashing a move from the Ice Shuttle Finger toward her opponent’s chest.

However, this middle-aged man was a powerful existence at the third fold-level of the middle constellation sage.

He stretched his hand out and easily grabbed hold of the young woman’s wrist.

While laughing malevolently, he pulled her into his embrace and grinned. “Elder brother will dote on you now!”

But at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew at the back of his head.

This person had been a part of many killings before and had a wealth of experience. He didn’t even need to think about it consciously and he pushed the young woman in his hand forward.

At the same time, he also rolled forward, agilely evading the attack.

After lengthening the distance, only then did he turn his head abruptly and stare at the stretch of sunflowers behind him as he shouted, “Come out!”

Swish~

Abruptly, the sound of something tightening rang out.

The red-cowled man was silently startled. After that, he felt something had already tightened around his right leg.

At this moment, he realized that his right leg was entangled by a strange golden thread.

That must be the gust of cold wind he had felt earlier!

He thought that he had already evaded it, but in truth, his leg was already entangled!
