Chapter 32: Unyielding Until Death (First Update, Seeking Recommendations!)

  Chen Hao furrowed his brow, slightly regretful, and challenged Xiao Jihuan. Although he didn't have a sure win, it was precisely this uncertainty that gave Chen Hao an excitement from the depths of his bones, the thrill of challenging the limits!

  This excitement made his soul seem to be trembling all over!

  Chen Hao was very clear that this was because of the madman Li Yuan, but now Li Yuan was him, he was Li Yuan, no matter who it was, it was all himself...

  From the moment he learned that Xiao Jihan was suppressing him and wanted to drive him out of the Xiao family, he had been looking forward to the day when he could turn things around with his own strength, using his fists to crush these inferior people!

  So, in the past six months, except for the first two months when he was following his class to practice at Xiao's house, which were relatively easy, in the Magic Cloud Mountains, in a strict sense, he had not truly relaxed or rested for a minute. Every moment, he was in a state of cultivation, hunting fierce beasts, bitterly practicing Chinese martial arts, and cultivating the "Longevity Secret" instead of sleeping...

  Especially in the last two months, after the yuan force condensed from the second layer of Changsheng Jue no longer disappeared, he even violated the conditions promised to Xiao Lao and ventured deep into the Magic Cloud Mountains alone...

  How much sweat and blood he had shed, no one knew, nor could anyone see. Because of his abnormal physique, what should have been a body covered in scars was instead completely unblemished.

  Perilous situations that seemed to arise out of nowhere and put me on the brink of death nine times out of ten, I don't know how many times I've been through such ordeals, especially the last close call when I was trying to return to the Xiao family...

  Looking back now, Chen Huan felt a lingering fear in his heart, that was truly a narrow escape from death. Chen Huan believed that if it were Xiao Ling'er or other ordinary disciples, even a fifth-grade warrior like Xiao Jihuang, the only outcome would be death when faced with such a situation!

  He survived and returned to the Xiao family, his entire body as if he had been soaked in a pool of blood.

  That was a fourth-level Da Cheng Yao beast, Mo Xiang Zhuo Ha, equivalent to the realm of a sixth-grade Wu Shi in human cultivation. Adding the beast's innate physical strength and combat power, it could absolutely reach the level of a seventh or even eighth grade Wu Shi. When Chen Huan saw Mo Xiang Zhuo Ha at that time, all his hair stood on end. Before going to the Magic Cloud Mountain Range for training, he had already read many records about the Magic Cloud Mountain Range in Xiao Lao's room, so he knew how formidable Mo Xiang Zhuo Ha was. However, Chen Huan's strength at that time didn't even have a chance to run away and was directly bound by a terrifying Yuan force wave, like a frog eating a fly, being sucked into Mo Xiang Zhuo Ha's belly...

  That was a real nine deaths and one life, able to come back alive, completely thanks to his abnormal physical body. If it were an ordinary person, the moment they entered the belly of the mushroom tortoise, they would die directly under the package of violent toxic gastric juice, being digested as food. Not to mention, in the belly of the mushroom tortoise, playing a role like Sun Wukong fighting Princess Iron Fan, actually wearing out the mushroom tortoise and absorbing part of its internal yuan energy...

  But it was precisely this last experience that led to today's scene of Chen Huan breaking through to the first-class martial artist!

  Good fortune and bad luck are intertwined; who can distinguish them clearly?

  ……

  Chen Hao shrugged slightly, his interest somewhat piqued. He had long guessed that Xiao Lao wouldn't ignore the life-and-death battle between him and Xiao Jihan. Although Xiao Lao hadn't said anything to Chen Hao, Chen Hao, who had merged with Li Yuan's soul, could see through it clearly. Otherwise, Xiao Lao wouldn't have gone all out to teach him even when he knew Chen Hao was bound to die. Nor would he have secretly followed Chen Hao into the Demon Cloud Mountain Range, protecting him in secret.

  Xiao Lao just wanted to put more pressure on himself and cultivate harder, after all, in a life-and-death battle, if he was really in danger, Xiao Lao would definitely step in to mediate.

  And now, the fact is indeed as he had guessed.

  ……

  "Don't think that just because Xiao Lao and the master of the house have come out, I will let you off..."

  At this moment, Xiao Jihan, who was walking towards Xiao Ding with Chen Huan, did not change his expression when he approached Chen Huan, lowered his voice and said in a provocative tone.

  "You're one to talk." Chen Huan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flashed with a cold and proud light as he shot back.

  "Hmph!" Xiao Jih let out a cold hum and stopped talking.

  ……

  Xiao Family Courtyard

  Only the inner disciples and the Xiao family's direct descendants are qualified to live in the Xiao family's inner courtyard. Ordinary outer disciples don't even have the opportunity to enter. However, the Xiao family's inner courtyard is not unfamiliar to Xiao Jihuan. Although he is not an inner disciple, due to his family relationship, Xiao Jihuan has special privileges in the Xiao family that ordinary disciples cannot enjoy.

  Chen Hao was entering the Xiao family's inner courtyard for the first time.

  Chen Hao and Xiao Jihan walked on either side of Xiao Ding, following him into a huge room at a steady pace.

  "Come on in, have a seat..."

  Until then, Xiao Ding's face finally revealed a hint of a gentle smile, looking at the two and saying. What made Xiao Ding slightly surprised was that at this moment, Xiao Jihuan had a cold face, even his mouth was twitching, obviously strongly suppressing the anger in his heart. On the other hand, Chen Huan's clear and beautiful face, which did not lose its masculinity, was calm as water, revealing an unusual calmness and detachment that did not match his age. This made Xiao Ding have to admire Chen Huan's composure.

  "Since I've called you two together, you should be able to guess what I mean, right?" Xiao Ding paused slightly and didn't give the two a chance to speak before continuing: "You two are exceptional, either one of you is a genius that the Xiao family has never had before. With your current talents, it's worth the Xiao family going all out to cultivate you at any cost! You should be clear about the Xiao family's current situation, and you two are the hope of the Xiao family! So..."

  "Head of the household!" Xiao Jihans knew what Xiao Ding was going to say next, so he, who had just been infuriated by Chen Huan's contemptuous and disdainful gaze, couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Ding and said: "The Xiao family has me alone! In the past, I have never really cultivated seriously, but now I promise you, Head of the household, that I will cultivate with all my might for the sake of the Xiao family. One day, I will definitely make our Xiao family the number one family in Yunzhou, and rise above Yunzhou! A man's word is his bond, I have made a promise to him to fight to the death, so I must keep it. Otherwise, what face would I have left in the Xiao family? So, please, Head of the household, grant me this!"

  "Please fulfill the host's wishes!"

  What made Xiao Ding's head turn into two big ones was that Xiao Jihans words were understandable, after all, Xiao Jihan was a fifth-grade martial artist, and Chen Huan was not under any pressure at all. But Chen Huan also spoke out in agreement...

  Could it be that this kid really thinks he can defeat a fifth-grade martial artist with his first-grade skills?

  Chen Hao's words made Xiao Jihuan somewhat surprised.

  In Xiao Jihan's view, Chen Huan dared to be so arrogant because he was under the protection of Xiao Lao. He thought that their life-and-death battle would never happen. But now, Chen Huan seems not to be the case. Of course, this is for the better, as he doesn't believe Chen Huan has the strength to defeat him. Xiao Jihan is not one of those idiots like Xiao Jichang, and this is the realm of martial arts, where being one level higher can crush someone, let alone four levels higher?

  All I can say is that Chen Huan is an ignorant and arrogant fool!

  Even Xiao Ding, the master of this family, was left speechless by the two for a moment, and after half a minute of contemplation, he frowned and said: "You two are just petty squabbling, do you have such deep hatred?"

  "Fight to the death!"

  This time, Xiao Jihan hadn't spoken yet, when Chen Huan said in a cold tone.

  In fact, if you just look at the surface, the grudges between him and Xiao Jihan are indeed small potatoes, and the two of them haven't even had a direct confrontation once.

  But at this moment, Chen Hao's view of the problem was far from simple.

  Xiao Jihan's series of suppressions against him were completely unfounded, but it was precisely because they were unfounded that they proved this person to be extremely sinister and despicable, with no qualms about using any means necessary. Chen Hao knew very well that as long as Xiao Jihan didn't die, he would never let up on himself. If Chen Hao had been just a lone individual, it wouldn't have mattered; this kind of temporary clowning around wasn't even worth his attention - playing along with him was no big deal either.

  But Chen Hao is not a lone wolf, he has his own family to protect, this is the obsession in his heart, before, now and will be in the future.

  Xiao Jihan's family, although not a martial arts family, had great power in Yunzhou. Given Xiao Jihan's nature, Chen Huan did not doubt that he would stop at nothing to deal with him.

  "It's either his death or my demise!"

  Xiao Jihan's face turned exceptionally gloomy after a brief moment of stunned silence, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

  "You two..." Xiao Ding looked at the two men's determined expressions, and helplessly waved his hand, saying: "Alright, since that's how it is, I agree to let you two have a match. However, not during the Xiao family's grand tournament! Xiang Huang, tomorrow apart from Ji Han, you can challenge anyone! If you two really want to fight, then go to Yunzhou Wu Hui and settle the matter of life and death..."

  "Does Yunzhou Wu Hui have the qualifications to participate just because he's a family master? Even if he luckily gets qualified, what abilities does he have to stand on the same stage as me? I can agree to the family master's conditions, but if Yunzhou Wu Hui doesn't have the qualifications to fight with me, then he must duel to the death with me after Yunzhou Wu Hui!" Xiao Jihan looked at Chen Hao disdainfully and said to Xiao Ding.

  "I agree!" Chen Hao said fearlessly.

  "Alright... it's settled for now. You can go..." Xiao Ding waved his hand, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, apparently also quite helpless.
