Chapter 45

An hour later, Han Yuer came out.

She had already washed up, her face glowing with a fresh luster, and her overall aura was even more powerful.

She said excitedly with a smile, "Father, Chen Feng, I’ve broken through."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Senior Sister, it’s quite a coincidence, I happen to have something here."

As he spoke, he took out the Gu Yuan Pill.

"Is this, the Gu Yuan Pill?" Han Cong was very surprised, "How did you get it?"

"I got it at the market after coming out of the mountains. It’s a sixth-grade Gu Yuan Pill. Just in time, I hadn’t taken it yet when I broke through to the Seventh Level of the Later Heaven stage."

Chen Feng handed the Gu Yuan Pill to Han Yuer and said with a hearty laugh, "Now, it’s no use for me. Senior Sister, you just entered the Sixth Level, and you need to consolidate your foundation and stabilize your realm. Take it!"

"This won’t do." Before Han Yuer could speak, Han Cong waved his hand and refused, "No, it’s too precious."

"Hey, Uncle, aren’t you being too formal?" Chen Feng forcefully pushed the Gu Yuan Pill into Han Yuer’s hand and turned to leave.

...

Three days later, the second round began.

This time, Chen Feng was assigned to the thirty-seventh arena.

Standing opposite him was a young man about his age, dressed in a black robe that covered his body tightly. His face was pale, looking frail and weak, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

He seemed to carry a chilling, mournful wind. If you got close to him, like Chen Feng’s current distance, you would hear a continuous mournful wailing in your ears.

The wailing sound made him feel restless and nauseous, almost to the point of vomiting.

Chen Feng felt a chill and knew this was a technique to disrupt his mental state.

"This opponent is a bit strange!" Chen Feng raised his guard and activated the Boddhi Leaf Golden Sutra.

The Boddhi Leaf Golden Sutra was indeed effective. As soon as he activated it, the nauseous feeling disappeared.

"Did you kill Duan Changyun?" the young man spoke.

His voice was ethereal and shrill, like ghostly flames wandering at night. If you closed your eyes and listened, it would seem as if he had changed positions seven or eight times while saying that one sentence.

Chen Feng nodded.

It seemed another enemy had come seeking revenge.

"I am Duan Wuxin."

The young man said calmly, "Duan Changyun is my elder brother."

"My elder brother had a short temper, but he didn’t deserve to die. Since you killed him, you’ll have to pay with your life."

Duan Wuxin said calmly.

Chen Feng sneered, "After all this talk, you just want my life. If you have the ability, come at me!"

"Alright!"

Duan Wuxin nodded at the referee, who announced the start.

On the arena, Chen Feng and Duan Wuxin faced each other.

Below the arena, the surrounding disciples were discussing.

"I heard that Duan Wuxin has extremely high talent, born with a semi-yin body, which is very suitable for practicing ghostly techniques."

"Yes, it’s also quite unfair. When he was three years old, the Grand Elder 'Soul Capturer' discovered him during his travels and took him from the Duan family to the sect, making him a closed-door disciple."

"Duan Wuxin has extremely high talent. At just fourteen years old, he has already reached the Seventh Level of the Later Heaven stage! He also has various unpredictable and mysterious techniques."

"Thanks to his connections, Duan Changfeng and his brothers were able to enter the Qianyuan Sect and act arrogantly, with no one daring to challenge them."

"Although Chen Feng has recently gained a good reputation and killed the famous Duan Zhen Shan, who was at the Fifth Level of the Later Heaven stage, with one move, he definitely isn’t a match for Duan Wuxin!"

"Right, there’s a two-level difference between the Fifth Level and the Seventh Level of the Later Heaven stage!"

Duan Wuxin pointed his finger and softly shouted, "Bone Claw!"

As he pointed, a white bone claw, as large as a washbasin, appeared in the air, with black bloodstains on the bones, looking very eerie.

The bone claw lunged at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng punched it, shattering the bone claw into pieces, and the bone powder scattered on the arena, while Chen Feng didn’t even flinch.

"Show me some real skills, what’s this?" Chen Feng shouted.

"It’s just a probing attack, why are you in such a hurry?" Duan Wuxin sneered, pointing his finger again, and countless bone claws appeared around Chen Feng.

All the bone claws lunged at Chen Feng at once.

For a moment, the situation became extremely dangerous.

Chen Feng laughed loudly and punched like lightning, shattering a bone claw with each strike.

In a short while, all the bone claws were shattered, and the bone powder fell to the ground, surrounding Chen Feng.

Duan Wuxin laughed strangely and condensed countless bone claws again.

Chen Feng shattered all the bone claws once more.

Duan Wuxin waved his hand, and the same technique was used again, with countless bone claws appearing once more.

Chen Feng shouted, "Is this ever going to end?"

He roared, his true qi bursting forth, shattering the bone claws, and then quickly rushed towards Duan Wuxin.

But at that moment, Duan Wuxin suddenly laughed with a satisfied giggle.

He pointed his finger.

"Bone Cage!"

A bone cage, taller than a person, rapidly formed on the ground, trapping Chen Feng inside.

The bone powder on the ground had vanished without a trace.

The crowd below was immediately in an uproar.

"Duan Wuxin is actually an array master! It turns out that what he did earlier wasn’t just for show; the bone powder was the material for his array!"
