Chapter 178 - 135: Human List No. 1! Chen Xuan
Chapter 178: Chapter 135: Human List No. 1! Chen Xuan
Several voices suddenly echoed in Chen Xuan’s mind.
His expression changed, and he quickly opened his panel to check.
’I’ve unlocked another talent?’
’Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2)? It’s at the second level?’
He focused on the feeling, his heart suddenly pounding with excitement.
This Level 2 Indestructible Fist Intent was so much stronger than Level 1.
Not only did it have many functions,
but every single one was outrageously powerful.
’Even gods will struggle to affect my mind. Automatic immunity to all forms of mental control and Spirit pressure, a soul shock accompanying my attacks, and the ability to lock onto an enemy from a thousand miles away... This is just insane...’
A burning light flashed in Chen Xuan’s eyes.
Especially the thousand-mile enemy lock.
It basically meant cutting off any path of retreat for his opponents.
’Is it really okay for it to be this broken?’
But soon, a light smile returned to his face.
’This is just the beginning.’
’The even crazier stuff is probably still to come.’
Good, good, good.
’Brother Tongzi hasn’t let me down.’
’But why would I unlock a talent for no reason? Could it be that the news of me wiping out the Celestial Sword Sect and the Mixed Element Sect has spread?’
Chen Xuan mused.
’Yeah, that must be it.’
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused such a massive uproar.
After all, those were two great Martial Dao sects with a thousand-year history.
No matter how much they had declined, they still held a significant place in this world.
Chen Xuan quickly suppressed his excitement and looked at the map in his hand again, continuing to check his location.
Just then, a fast horse suddenly charged down the main road ahead. A figure sat atop it, holding a newly copied list and shouting at the top of his lungs.
"The Human List has been updated! The Human List has been updated! ’Iron-faced Yama’ Chen Xuan has reached number one on the Human List..."
WHOA!
As the voice rang out, all the martial artists resting in the town burst into an uproar and rushed over.
Chen Xuan was also momentarily stunned.
’Number one on the Human List?’
’I’ve reached number one on the Human List?’
’Is the Human List in this world really that unimpressive? I’m already number one?’
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
’No wonder I unlocked another talent...’
Reaching number one on the Human List, coupled with this kind of publicity, meant that even more people across the world would notice him. It would have been difficult *not* to unlock something.
But he soon paid it no mind. After getting his bearings, he set off again, heading for the Martial Alliance’s stronghold.
’Why worry about all that? The most important thing for me right now is to get a True Essence Realm Heart Method as soon as possible.’
Not long after leaving the town, Chen Xuan once again saw many refugees, traveling with their families in large groups, just like the ones he had encountered before.
’It seems the drought demon disaster in Nanlin Prefecture is quite serious...’
Chen Xuan mused.
He continued running forward for a while longer.
Finally, his eyes lit up.
’Almost there. Ahead is the Martial Alliance stronghold I entered before.’
He abruptly accelerated, darting deep into a mountain range.
Sure enough, he saw a magnificent complex of buildings inside, exactly the same as he remembered.
What made his eyes light up even more was that he actually saw a familiar face.
Shen Qinghan.
The woman stood before the buildings, her lovely face icy cold. She wore a tight-fitting, ink-black martial uniform. Her posture was ramrod straight, her jet-black hair tied back in a high ponytail as she reprimanded several young disciples.
The young disciples, both male and female, had pale faces and could only nod meekly in succession.
They didn’t dare face her at all.
As the famous "Charming Demoness," they were utterly terrified of Shen Qinghan.
Especially her face.
They had almost never seen her smile.
Even when facing the elders, Shen Qinghan maintained a cold and indifferent demeanor, keeping everyone at arm’s length.
"Shen Qinghan!"
Suddenly, a light, laughing voice rang out from nearby.
It was incredibly abrupt and unabashed, echoing throughout the area.
The young disciples being reprimanded were startled and looked up instinctively.
’Who’s so bold as to shout like that?’
’Don’t they know Elder Shen hates this sort of thing the most?’
However, contrary to their expectations,
the scene they imagined of Shen Qinghan flying into a rage did not occur.
Instead, her body trembled slightly, and her face instantly turned deathly pale, as if she had heard the voice of some terrifying demon. Shen Qinghan, who just a moment ago was condescendingly and coldly scolding them, now had a trace of terror unconsciously appearing on her face...
This left the young disciples in utter disbelief.
They were sure they hadn’t seen wrong.
They had seen terror on Shen Qinghan’s face...
But how was that possible?
In the entire Martial Alliance, who could possibly make Shen Qinghan feel terrified?
Shocked, they slowly glanced behind them.
They saw a figure rapidly approaching, emerging from the depths of the forest and quickly appearing before them.
It was a man who looked to be around twenty years old.
He had handsome features, jet-black hair, and a rather sturdy build. Dressed in a black robe, he exuded an indescribable air.
He was currently looking at Shen Qinghan with a faint smile.
"Senior Brother... Senior Brother Chen, you’re here..."
Shen Qinghan forced a stiff smile onto her face. As if recalling some bad memories, she hurriedly and meekly bowed.
"Where’s Old Deng? Take me to him."
Chen Xuan’s tone was flat.
"Mr. Zhuo is at the stronghold. I’ll take you to him right away."
Shen Qinghan replied respectfully. Ignoring the disciples beside her, she quickly led Chen Xuan inside.
Chen Xuan followed behind her, his expression serene.
Only the young disciples were left, staring at each other in bewilderment.
’Is this still the ’Charming Demoness’ we know?’
’When has the ’Charming Demoness’ ever been so respectful?’
But soon, a shiver ran down their spines.
"That man just now... Chen Xuan, he looks like the Chen Xuan who came by a while ago?"
"Chen Xuan, number six on the Human List?"
"It’s him?"
The disciples were greatly shocked.
’No wonder...’
’No wonder the ’Charming Demoness’ was so respectful.’
It was said that when Chen Xuan first appeared, he defeated her in a single move and later left her with a significant psychological scar in the secret realm.
...
At that very moment.
Deep within the stronghold.
Mr. Zhuo’s face was filled with horror as he stared at the message just delivered by a Spirit Dove. A tidal wave of shock was crashing through his mind.
This message wasn’t from just anyone.
It was from the main alliance headquarters.
’The main alliance’s intelligence is fast. The Human List was just updated, and they got the news the very next moment... But this is too exaggerated...’
He was starting to question his own reality.
The intelligence that had just arrived stated:
Chen Xuan, ranked number one on the Human List!
The Alliance Leader himself had sent a message, telling him to invite Chen Xuan and by no means let any other power poach him.
Moreover, the Alliance Leader was already on his way.
He was going to accompany him personally to meet Chen Xuan...
’A monster. This brat is a monster...’
Mr. Zhuo’s mind was reeling.
The last time Chen Xuan came out from the Ancient Tree of Life, he had reached the True Qi Eighth Layer, which had already shocked him to his core.
How many days had it been since then?
He’d already killed the Celestial Sword Sect Master and the Mixed Element Sect Master?
Either one of those two was at the Half-Step True Essence Realm...
’Could it be that after Chen Xuan went back, he got happy and broke through again?’
"Heh heh..."
Mr. Zhuo felt he was being a little foolish.
’To think such nonsense.’
But if Chen Xuan hadn’t broken through, then how did he kill the Celestial Sword Sect Master and the Mixed Element Sect Master?
"Old Deng, what are you laughing at? You’re grinning from ear to ear."
Chen Xuan said lightly as he walked in from outside.
Mr. Zhuo’s expression became serene. He let out a light breath, not even glancing at Chen Xuan, and leaned back in his chair.
"Looks like I’m really getting old. Such a small piece of news was enough to give me hallucinations. This shouldn’t be happening. Back in my day, I could go thirteen times in one night and still wake up the next morning to fight a duel to the death, completely unaffected..."
He said flatly.
"You’ve really got guts, then. When are you going to show us another performance?"
Chen Xuan walked over.
Shen Qinghan also lowered her head, speechless.
’Elder Zhuo...’
’He’s started deceiving himself again.’
’When have you ever gone thirteen times in one night?’
"Heh, this hallucination is truly strange. Boy, come here. Let me get a good look at you."
Mr. Zhuo looked at Chen Xuan with a broad smile.
Chen Xuan raised a scorching hot finger and gently poked a vital point on his body.
PFFT!
An extremely hot and painful sensation instantly spread throughout Mr. Zhuo’s body.
"AWOOOO..."
The pain made Old Deng jump up and down on the spot, flailing his arms and legs as tears streamed from his eyes.
"Is it still a hallucination?"
Chen Xuan chuckled.
"Not a hallucination! Not a hallucination! It’s killing me! F*ck! AOW!"
Mr. Zhuo shouted, hopping all over the place.
