Chapter 21: Finding Him At The Door (Third Update! Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)

  (Vote for recommendation, collect!!!!!!! Thank you)

  Xiao Family, Martial Arts Arena.

  Xiao Xianghao has arrived...

  "Is he Xiao Xianghao? Isn't that the poor kid who passed the exam ahead of time?"

  "Really, I couldn't see it coming, he's actually that strong... even a second-class warrior was severely injured by him..."

  "Yesterday in the bathhouse was even more intense, relying on his brain to knock out two martial artists of the same level as Jizibei... It's said that those people were all under Xiao Jihan's command... How did he manage to offend someone as powerful as Xiao Jihan just after entering the Xiao household? It's really strange..."

  "Haha, you didn't know that? According to reliable sources, it's because of Ji Yan Shifu! Ji Yan Shifu is the number one beauty among those with the surname Ji, and she's also the person Ji Han Shixiong likes the most. Everyone knows this except for the newcomers. But Xiao Xianghao, that poor kid, somehow got lucky and was also chosen by the old ancestor of the Xiao family to receive private lessons from him, just like Ji Yan Shifu... Yesterday, that poor kid didn't give face to Ji Han Shixiong at all, it seems like a toad wanting to eat swan meat... He's actually trying to compete with Ji Han Shixiong for Ji Yan Shifu!"

  ……

  "Are you Teacher Qiu?"

  Chen Hao's mouth twitched, and he really couldn't think of it. Just overnight, the two conflicts that occurred yesterday had spread among the Xiao family disciples, not only that, but also rumors and gossip came out.

  Facing the gaze of one person after another, in the past, Chen Hao would have felt extremely uncomfortable all over, but now, Chen Hao was under no pressure at all, and his expression didn't change in the slightest.

  Li Yuan, who was once a global sensation, wherever he went, was the focus of attention. For this level of attention, it's simply a piece of cake. And Chen Huan, who has merged with Li Yuan's soul, not only possesses all of Li Yuan's memories but also inherits some of his personality traits without realizing it.

  It can be said that Chen Huan is no longer the same as before, but a reborn Chen Huan after being tempered by fire!

  ……

  Chen Hao didn't have the mood to care about those rumors, all he needed to do was to wholeheartedly devote himself to his cultivation, for strength was everything. Chen Hao believed that in the not-too-distant future, Xiao Jihans' schemes against him would all be reduced to nothing like a clay chicken and a paper dog!

  Whether it was the former Chen Huan or Li Yuan, who had been merged with Chen Huan, they were both born with a proud and unyielding spirit. Therefore, after starting his morning training, Chen Huan did not hold back at all and fully devoted himself to cultivation. What surprised Chen Huan slightly was that the basic footwork, fist techniques, and leg techniques taught by Instructor Xiao Qianrui were extremely similar to the ancient Chinese martial arts in his mind. In fact, Chen Huan could clearly judge that the ancient Chinese martial arts were even more systematic and detailed, far surpassing what Xiao Qianrui had taught him.

  However, the truth is clear: even if Chen Huan's physical strength was extremely strong, he couldn't gain anything without effort. The memories Li Yuan possessed were like a profound and intricate "Martial Arts Classic", to truly make them his own skills, cultivation and bitter practice were necessary. So, for Chen Huan now, he was actually equivalent to a reborn ancient Chinese martial arts master.

  Everything has to start from scratch!

  As for the cultivation manual in Li Yuan's mind, whether it was Chen Huan or Li Yuan himself back then, they were all vague and elusive things. The strength of the technique could not be judged at all. The reason is simple: when Li Yuan was on Earth, he only tried to cultivate but couldn't even take the first step. Those secret manuals obtained from ancient Chinese ruins after countless hardships seemed like myths - seen but untouchable...

  ……

  With a whip in hand, Instructor Xiao Qianrui was always ready to lash out at his students. His eyes were wide with excitement as he watched the thirty-three disciples before him. He spent almost half of his time staring at Chen Huan, waiting for even the slightest mistake so that he could unleash his whip. Unfortunately for him, every move Chen Huan made was excellent, leaving no room for criticism. It wasn't that Chen Huan's performance was flawless, but compared to the other disciples, he was absolutely outstanding. If someone like Chen Huan were to be whipped, it would truly be unjust...

  As time passed, Xiao Qianrui watched Chen Huan's determined, persistent, meticulous and undistracted figure, and a sense of unease gradually grew from the depths of her heart...

  Yesterday, Chen Hao injured three martial arts masters. In the eyes of Xiao Qianrui and other masters, it was entirely because of Chen Hao's "born iron head", "born speed", and the underestimation of those three guys that led to this result. If they were to have a real duel, how could Chen Hao possibly be their match?

  But now, what he had just imparted to Chen Huan was only the first contact for him, yet Chen Huan seemed to have grasped the essence of it, his posture was in place, and even his breath contained the essentials of each move, as if he had reached the realm of unity of spirit, energy and body that only a martial artist could achieve...

  What an amazing talent!

  Xiao Qianrui's hand holding the whip trembled slightly, as if in thought. Finally, his gaze shifted to other disciples. A moment later, the sound of whipping and shouting erupted...

  People can't be compared with each other...

  Is this kind of genius really something Xiao Jihuan can suppress?

  Xiao Jihan was not afraid, but Xiao Qianrui was. Especially now that Chen Huan had already been favored by Old Man Xiao. Although Old Man Xiao never asked about the cultivation of the Xiao family disciples, suppressing Chen Huan would definitely not be tolerated, and it was impossible to kill him with one slap.

  Chen Hao absolutely belongs to the kind of genius who can't be killed with one slap and will rise up!

  ……

  "Hi...... Hi......"

  Three basic footwork, combined with three basic fist methods and three basic leg methods, Chen Hao and others have been practicing from morning exercise to now for nearly an hour and a half. It's about to end soon. At this time, everyone is sweating profusely, and the vast majority of young people are exhausted, but under the intimidation of Xiao Qianrui's whip, no one dares to slack off.

  Chen Hao was also drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked with perspiration. But unlike many of the young men, Chen Hao, who had just begun to cultivate, felt as though he had only just entered a state of optimal condition, his physical strength still abundant and extraordinary, the speed and power of his punches and kicks showing no signs of weakening whatsoever, instead becoming increasingly smooth and natural with increased proficiency.

  Bang!

  "Come on, just 10 more minutes, let's get energized!"

  Along with the crisp and loud cracking of his whip, Xiao Qianrui exclaimed. His gaze would occasionally glance at Chen Huan's meticulous movements, and he was increasingly shocked in his heart. Strength, speed, coordination; after just over an hour of adaptation, he had already reached a level that ordinary disciples found difficult to attain even after a month of cultivation. Especially in terms of speed, Chen Huan's innate talent was truly extraordinary; if one were to consider only speed, then Chen Huan had absolutely reached the level of a 9th rank warrior, which was somewhat abnormal.

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Qianrui's voice had just fallen when her eyes swept across the room, and suddenly her expression changed, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face.

  At the entrance of the martial arts arena, several figures were walking slowly towards the team he was in.

  A handsome and elegant young man with a hint of coldness and arrogance walked at the front, followed closely by several boys with arrogant and domineering expressions. One of them had a white bandage wrapped around his right wrist, hanging from his neck. Another one walked in an unusually funny posture, with his legs spread apart like a turtle's, taking steps forward as if afraid of squeezing something between his legs, making people want to laugh.

  The cold and proud young man is none other than Xiao Jihuan.

  And the one with his hand hanging is Xiao Jitao, who had his wrist broken by Chen Huan's "Iron Head". The one who looks like a turtle and is hilarious is Xiao Jikang, who almost got his eggs kicked by Chen Huan.

  The appearance of several people instantly caught the attention of almost everyone in the martial arts performance. Under the restraint of the instructor, the three classes of Xiangzi generation were still okay, but some free morning exercises, Jizibei and Shizi generation disciples stopped directly and swarmed towards Xiao Jihans group.

  "Brother Jihan!"

  "Brother Jihan!"

  "Brother Ji Han, idol... You must teach that little brat a lesson, what does he think he is, daring to provoke Brother Ji Han's dignity!"

  "Really? Can someone like him who has such good luck really challenge Master Jihan?"

  One by one, the eyes were hot and respectful, worshiping and fearful, greeting Xiao Jihan. Some sycophants even added fuel to the fire, wishing that Xiao Jihan would immediately let out a burst of anger and severely teach Chen Huan a lesson for being so arrogant.

  Everyone knew what was going on, Xiao Jihan came with his entourage for a reason.

  It has to be said that now, among the outer disciples of the Xiao family, there are probably not many people who don't know Chen Huan. Yesterday's conflict was absolutely explosive news. It had already spread among the Xiang and Ji generations of disciples, and even many of the older Shi generation disciples knew about it.

  While those of the Ji and Shi generations, along with those of the Xiang generation, who trained together in the same martial arts arena, were obviously inferior goods. Towards these disciples who posed no threat whatsoever, Xiao Jihuan naturally wouldn't bully them, and would even occasionally take care of them, as did his followers. The reason was to establish prestige and reputation among the outer sect disciples of the Xiao family.

  It has to be said that he did achieve this. Although many people hated Xiao Jihan, there were even more admirers of Xiao Jihan in the Xiao family.

  It's just a pity that those who are muddle-headed can't see through Xiao Jihuan's tactics.

  ……

  Such a big commotion, Chen Huan naturally also discovered in the first time, but Chen Huan didn't stop, not even his expression changed. Still like Xiaoling and other disciples of the same generation, "heh heh", continuously repeating the basic skills they just learned.

  "Hmm..." As Xiao Jihan arrived at the rear of Chen Huan's formation, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He glanced at Instructor Xiao Qianrui in front of the formation and then looked at Chen Huan, who was "full of energy" without any signs of fatigue on his body. With a cold hum, he said, "Instructor Qianrui, isn't the morning exercise ending soon?"

  Xiao Qianrui naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Xiao Jihan's words. But he, who had already made his decision, could only look at Xiao Jihan awkwardly and quickly walked to his side, saying: "There are still ten minutes... sorry..."

  Xiao Qianrui didn't say much, just using his eyes to signal Xiao Jihan to take a look at Chen Huan. Chen Huan didn't dare offend him, and Xiao Jihan even more so, as long as Xiao Jihan took a good look at Chen Huan's current state, he would naturally understand that it wasn't that he wasn't suppressing him, but rather that he couldn't find any fault with Chen Huan. Among the ninety-nine disciples of the Xiang generation from three classes, there wasn't a single one who did better than Chen Huan.
