Chapter 42: Yuan Force Control

  "Shh... keep your voice down, or you'll be heard by that beast and end up shitting and pissing yourself. The battle of life and death will be over before it even starts..." Chen Hao said in a seemingly intentionally lowered tone, but his voice was still not particularly soft.

  That handsome face, the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and the faint smile, paired with what he said, gave Xiaomei, Xiaojishan, and others a stomach-tightening feeling.

  Especially Xiao Jishan, who knew Chen Huan the earliest, felt deeply that in just over ten days, Chen Huan had changed a lot.

  That simple, persistent, and blood-filled young man who knew how to endure humiliation but was also unyielding and proud, after being with Mei Jie for over ten days, could actually say some words that made people laugh while still being majestic and awe-inspiring...

  ……

  Xiao Jihan, walking in front, was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he forcibly suppressed the flames of anger.

  "I'm just a third-rate martial artist, what's there to be afraid of? In the same realm, how can Xiao Mei's innate talent and combat power compare to mine? I've already reached the peak of seventh-rate martial artist. At the time of the decisive battle, I'll definitely advance to eighth-rate or even ninth-rate! Hmph, thinking that I haven't made any progress in these twenty days? Let this trash get arrogant for now... Wait till I unleash my true power, and then we'll see who's the one who's shitting and pissing..."

  Endure!

  Endure! Endure! Endure!!!

  "I, Xiao Jihan, will trample this trash under my feet in the battle of life and death, using my talent and absolute strength to pierce the dog eyes of Xiao Guan, Xiao Mei, and all of you! Let you know that I, Xiao Jihan, am not someone who can be compared to Chen Huan, a clown!"

  For nearly twenty days of special training, Xiao Jihuan was always on the verge of an explosion. He used to be a existence that was surrounded by stars and moonlight.

  This, these twenty days, should have been his glory, but was completely occupied by Chen Hao. Ten disciples who had obtained the qualification to participate in the Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference, under the leadership of Xiao Jishan, Xiao Jifei and others, actually mostly followed Chen Hao with smiles and laughter.

  Xiao Jihans gritted his teeth and secretly thought to himself, slowly calming the anger in his heart. He suddenly regained control of his emotions and no longer paid attention to Chen Huan and the others.

  And he seemed to have become an isolated existence...

  Especially even the famous cold-faced Shao Guan attaches great importance to Chen Huan.

  This intense contrast made Xiao Jih Chuan hate everyone to the bone!

  He wants to prove himself in the near future at Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference, in a life-and-death battle!

  ……

  A large group of people moved forward slowly and steadily, and after a short while, the familiar Taiping Town appeared before Chen Huan's eyes.

  It's been half a year, exactly half a year. Although Taiping Town is only a short walk from Xiao's house, the rules of the Xiao family stipulate that any new apprentice cannot go out privately. Chen Huan has not even left the gate of the Xiao family except for the time he went to practice in the Magic Cloud Mountains, let alone return home to see his parents and younger siblings, and Er Gouzi...

  Far, far away, looking at the familiar Taiping Town, Chen Huan, who was walking in the team, felt a surge of inexplicable excitement, especially when he saw the crowded people on both sides of the street at the entrance of the town. His eyes suddenly flashed with two dazzling lights, and with his superhuman vision that surpassed ordinary people by countless times, he saw the familiar figure standing in front of him...

  A smile and excitement that Xiao Mei, Xiao Jishan and others had never seen before appeared on Chen Huan's clear and handsome face.

  ……

  Every year when the Wu Association arrives in Yunzhou, the Xiao family disciples will pass through Taiping Town.

  Every time at this moment, Taiping Town, which was born and protected by the Xiao family, is like a festival. Almost everyone in the town comes out to see them off. On the streets that the Xiao family must pass through, all kinds of delicious food and wine are arranged along both sides of the street, sending their blessings and expectations...

  The Xiao family disciples who passed, on the other hand, became the objects of admiration and envy for everyone. If someone in town had a child in the team, they would receive countless congratulations and praise.

  In the eyes of these ordinary people, it was an unparalleled honor!

  "Brother..."

  "Brother..."

  Just as Chen Huan and the others were walking to within tens of meters from the entrance of the town, he finally recognized his younger brother and sister in the crowd, and with a tender childlike voice full of surprise, he loudly shouted out. His younger brother and sister, who were both under eight years old, were like two happy little birds, running towards Chen Huan at their fastest speed...

  Looking at the clothes on his younger brother and sister, as well as their adorable white faces with a hint of red, Chen Huan smiled. Even though he was no longer the same Chen Huan from before, this warmth, this affection, this pure and unadulterated familial love was the most precious thing in Chen Huan's heart, whether it was his past self or Li Yuan's past self, it was all the same!

  It was as if the softest thing in his heart had been touched, and Chen Huan's usually tough nerves were now slightly out of control with emotion.

  "Ah..."

  Suddenly, the lovely and cute little sister, like a butterfly, let out a cry of surprise. Perhaps due to running too fast, she tripped and fell forward!

  Xiao Ding now clearly knew that the two children were Chen Hao's family members, so when they ran over, he had already turned to face Chen Hao. At this moment, hearing the little girl's exclamation, he immediately turned around and took action without hesitation...

  But...

  It was just a turn, and he had already stepped into Emperor Wu's cauldron with one foot, but to his shock, he found that someone was even faster than him!

  A brilliant fiery light, in an instant, seemed to transform into a swift gust of wind, arriving at the little girl's side with astonishing speed. But what shocked everyone even more was that the pure and powerful yuan energy, upon reaching the little girl's side, suddenly became incredibly gentle, lightly lifting her body as if it were a warm and tender large hand...

  Before everyone could be amazed for too long, Chen Huan was like a cheetah, "whooshing" as he traversed several dozen feet in distance. Utilizing his incredibly precise control over the Origin Force to slow down momentarily, Chen Huan suddenly rushed to his sister's side!

  He held his sister in his arms!

  "Brother..." Chen Yu's pretty face was completely unaware of the danger, only staring at her brother who had suddenly picked her up with her big, cute eyes, her pink face filled with excitement and joy, tightly hugging Chen Hao's neck.

  "Brother..." Chen Nan, who had rushed over, stopped in her tracks with a look of admiration, envy, and excitement on her face. She turned around and pounced on Chen Hao, climbing onto his body like she was climbing a tree, wanting to snuggle into his arms: "Brother, hug Nannan, brother you're so awesome..."

  Xiao Ding stopped, and everyone in the Xiao family stared blankly at Chen Huan. It was just a trivial episode, but Chen Huan's exquisite yuan force control and astonishing speed had shaken everyone silently. Including Xiao Ding, Xiao Bo, and Xiao Guan, they were all mentally shocked.

  A martial artist, and a low-ranking one at that... how could he possibly possess such formidable yuan control?

  Xiao Jihan, a seventh-grade martial artist at the peak and expected to break through to eighth grade in just a few days, can be certain that he is unable to do so...

  How infuriating it is for Xiao Jihan's dog eyes...

  Looking at Chen Huan's affectionate appearance with his younger brother and sister, a hint of extreme viciousness flashed in Xiao Jihans eyes. There were some things that were absolutely not allowed to be used in the world of martial artists, but the intense hatred for Chen Huan in his heart made Xiao Jihan almost go crazy...

  Xiao Jihan didn't know that the fierce glint in his eyes, although hidden almost instantly, was caught by Xiao Ding standing in front of him. With a slight sideways glance, he took in the entire gaze...

  As for Xiao Jihan, when Xiao Lao made the decision, Xiao Ding still had a thread of reluctance. After all, in the past three years, Xiao Jihan had been the focus of the Xiao family's cultivation. But now, Xiao Jihan's sinister gaze had finally dispelled that last shred of reluctance from Xiao Ding's heart.

  ……

  "Go ahead, talk to your family, don't delay too long, hurry up and catch up with the team..."

  Xiao Ding waved his hand and smiled at Chen Hao.

  "Thank you, master!"

  ……

  "Dad, Mom..."

  Chen Haoyi held his sister in one arm and his brother in the other, with a look of joy and excitement on his face that he couldn't conceal. Under the envious gaze of many people in Taiping Town, he walked to his parents and bowed down.

  "Gift from Heaven..."

  The mother, who had been worn out and disheveled, suddenly looked rosy and youthful, as if she had shed many years. Her voice trembled with emotion as she hastily bent down to help up her son, whom she hadn't seen in half a year. Her kind eyes sparkled with tears, carefully examining Chen Huan's face, her hands lightly trembling as she stroked his cheek.

  What made Chen Huan slightly surprised was that at this moment, his father, although sitting in a brand new wheelchair, looked no different from before, but Chen Huan's keen intuition felt that his father's aura was like a completely different person, especially when his father silently looked at him, the fleeting glint of light in his eyes...

  "Dad..."

  "Go, don't worry about home, the Xiao family has given us a lot and we're all doing well now. A man should repay kindness, you must cultivate well to repay the Xiao family's kindness... When you have time, come back occasionally to see your mother and younger siblings, they miss you every day and it's annoying..."

  "I understand." Chen Hao said in a low voice, without saying more. Before, he didn't understand things and wouldn't even notice some problems. But now, seeing his father again, Chen Hao thought of many things in an instant.

  His father's past was never mentioned in front of him, and all he knew was that his mother had saved his father, then they got together, and later had him and his siblings.

  "Go..."

  "Hmm. Niang, Er Gouzi and Bo Mu, why didn't they come?" Chen Huan asked just in time.

  "Brother, Dogzi has become a disciple of the Li family..." Chen Nan said hastily.

  "Li family disciple? Which Li family?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.
