Chapter 446: Chapter 0447: Full of Awe

After all, since they were now in Su City, Huo Tianqian did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble for himself and Chu Ge, so seeing how cowardly they had become, he didn’t bother to say more. In short order, he knocked all those people down.

It was almost two in the afternoon, the sun blazing hot, and there were hardly any people on the streets. After dealing with these individuals, they left the scene without a trace.

That night.

Chu Ge tossed and turned in the Little Red Building, unable to sleep. His right eyelid had been twitching all day, and he had a bad premonition.

The premonition made him feel an unprecedented sense of panic.

Chu Ge turned over in bed, and when he couldn’t sleep, he sat up.

The night was deep; he went to the window, looked up at the stars outside, and felt an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Wuji.

Chu Ge picked up the phone and sat on the windowsill, answering it, "What’s up? Why are you calling me so late?"

A bustle of noise came from the other end of the line, which quickly went silent again.

Zhao Wuji found a quiet place to speak to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, I’m currently in Dang City. We have an auction here tomorrow, and I was wondering if you might be interested."

An auction?

Chu Ge frowned slightly and spoke in a more relaxed tone, "What kind of auction is it?"

Zhao Wuji certainly wouldn’t invite him to any boring auction for no reason unless there was something there that he needed!

"The other reason I came back was for this auction. Elder Jian Chunqiu asked me to come. He said there’s an Ancient Martial Secret Technique at the auction that could help you become an Innate Grandmaster, so he specifically ordered me to bid for it."

Zhao Wuji paused, glanced around to make sure no suspicious persons were nearby, and then continued, "This auction isn’t only attracting our attention but also the Black Witch Sect, Tang Sect, and some other sects have sent people."

Anything that could aid his martial arts, Chu Ge took very seriously. He glanced at the time; it was already one o’clock in the morning, "I got it, send me the address and I’ll come to find you early tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge lay back down on the bed, trying to sleep.

Ten minutes passed.

Half an hour went by.

Chu Ge opened his eyes, feeling dejected. This was his first time experiencing insomnia away from home, and a sense of frustration rose in his heart.

Chu Ge let out a soft sigh, thinking that since he couldn’t sleep, he might as well get up and practice.

That way he would be more energetic tomorrow.

He sat up with that in mind and immediately crossed his legs to sit on the bed.

Chu Ge placed his hands on his knees, concentrated his breath, and directed energy towards his Dantian, about to meditate, when he suddenly realized he couldn’t feel any Spiritual Energy in his body, nor could he feel any True Qi in his Dantian.

Chu Ge opened his eyes in surprise, looked at his hands, and his eyes were filled with shock, "What’s going on?"

He tried to gather his energy again, channeling all his strength into his palms...

No good!

Chu Ge’s heart inexplicably started racing; he had a strong and ominous premonition.

He quickly got dressed, stood up, and went downstairs.

In the courtyard ahead, he found a large tree and stood in front of it, spreading his feet shoulder-width apart, slightly squatting down, his hands gathering qi, and swinging towards the trunk of the big tree.

The next instant, Chu Ge was completely stunned.

His hands clenched into fists and struck the tree trunk, which not only failed to react, but also caused his hands to be broken.

A sharp pain began to spread from his hands.

Chu Ge looked at his hands in a daze, his mind a blank.

What’s going on? How could this be? Chu Ge couldn’t believe it, and threw another punch at the tree trunk, repeating this several times, with the same result each time.

A thought arose in Chu Ge’s heart that filled him with despair and shock: his martial arts... had completely vanished.

He looked at his hands in disbelief, now smeared with blood, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

Chu Ge’s brain was buzzing, and he had no idea what to do.

Meanwhile, Huo Tianqian, who also discovered that his martial arts were gone, tried to get up to go to the toilet, only to find himself becoming weak all over.

His legs felt as heavy as if lead had been poured into them.

Ever since he learned ancient martial arts, his body was always filled with vigor, never like today, walking unsteadily like a disabled person.

After finishing in the toilet and returning to bed, he sat cross-legged, ready to cultivate and circulate qi, but found he could not feel the existence of true qi in his body at all.

Huo Tianqian was alarmed and wanted to go find Chu Ge immediately, but worried that it was too late to be appropriate.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a rustling noise not far from downstairs, and curiously walked to the window and looked out to see Chu Ge repeatedly punching that tree trunk, thick as a person.

To his surprise, now looking at Chu Ge, it seemed that every punch he threw at the tree trunk was so weak and feeble.

Seeing that Chu Ge wasn’t asleep, Huo Tianqian quickly dressed and went downstairs.

Upon reaching the courtyard, he saw Chu Ge sitting despairingly beside the tree trunk, with his head down, his facial expression unclear.

Huo Tianqian stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Ge.

Chu Ge heard the movement, raised his eyelids slightly to take a glance, and then quickly lowered his gaze.

"Mr. Chu," Huo Tianqian’s voice trembled imperceptibly, his words tinged with nervousness: "Mr. Chu, my martial arts seem to have disappeared into thin air."

Chu Ge lifted his eyes, a dangerous sharpness flickering within, "Yours too, vanished?"

His voice had become somewhat hoarse.

Huo Tianqian nodded, "Just now, I tried, and I can’t feel the true qi within my body at all."

Chu Ge slightly frowned, as if understanding something, he stood up abruptly, his gaze staring ahead, dangerous and sharp, "It seems that we’ve been set up."

Huo Tianqian looked at Chu Ge in shock, "You mean we’ve been drugged?"

Chu Ge nodded, because he had eaten too much at noon, he did not eat dinner, and the water he drank was all boiled by himself. Moreover, now at the Tang Family’s place, nobody dares to reach out directly here.

So he determined that it must have been at lunch at Invitation Villa that someone poisoned them.

Chu Ge’s mind flashed with the faces of those Japanese people, could it be them who made the move? But it seemed unlikely, if it were indeed them, it should be more than just sealing their martial arts; it’s very likely they would have lost their lives.

Huo Tianqian stomped his feet in anger, looking at Chu Ge with expectant eyes, asking, "Does Mr. Chu have any way to deal with it?"

Even now, although Chu Ge had lost his martial arts and was no different from an ordinary person, Huo Tianqian still held him in great respect.
