Chapter 402: 396 Chapter Being Hit (6 more)

He understood clearly that Jin Huihuang wasn’t merely talking.

If the Burning Heaven Sect truly decided to resist to the end, even for the sake of face, the Lin family would definitely have to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

"No way!" Xuu Zhan’s face grew solemn, "You can’t go! To go is to die! I understand the Lin family’s intentions better than you do!"

"Great Elder, if I don’t go, should the Lin family rage, everyone in the Burning Heaven Sect will die, including me!" Su Chen said with a bitter smile, "If I really go to offer birthday wishes, even if the Lin family wants me dead, they would have to consider their reputation. At the very least, they can’t openly harm me, which would make me somewhat safer!"

Besides, Su Chen had another ace up his sleeve, and that was Jiuyou.

With Jiuyou by his side, if it really came down to a matter of life and death, he could borrow Jiuyou’s power; at the very least, he would have no problem saving his own life.

"No means no!" Xuu Zhan refused to budge; he now considered Su Chen far too important.

"Great Elder..." Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart, yet also a sense of helplessness, "I really do have confidence!"

"You..." Xuu Zhan was frustrated; he simply couldn’t understand why Su Chen was so stubborn. Were all geniuses like this? Ling Long was very stubborn, but Su Chen was even more so!

"Great Elder, just trust me, I promise I’ll return alive. I’m tough to kill, I won’t die that easily!" Su Chen pressed with urgency.

"Whether to go to that old codger Lin Zonglong’s birthday ceremony or not is a separate matter. However, for the next few days, don’t do anything else, just come with us!" Xuu Zhan thought it over and finally said.

Which was, in a way, giving in.

But, he planned to use these next few days to help Su Chen increase his strength as much as possible.

How to help Su Chen?

Of course, by fighting!!!

He didn’t know what Su Chen’s current strength was, but he figured it had to be at least that of the Third Transformation Hollow Void Realm. Meanwhile, Xuu Zhan, Zhao Wuwei, and Bai Zhen were at the Seventh Stage of Hollow Void Realm, Sixth Stage of Hollow Void Realm, and Sixth Stage of Hollow Void Realm, respectively.

If they were to spar with Su Chen, then Su Chen’s progress would be incredibly fast.

Especially considering Su Chen’s terrifying talent for martial cultivation, the results would undoubtedly be extremely good.

Zhao Wuwei nodded firmly, "Right! There are still a few days until that old geezer Lin Zonglong’s birthday! During these days, kid, you’ll be training with us!"

Zhao Wuwei’s gaze was searing as he stared at Su Chen, clearly indicating he had an urge to thoroughly teach Su Chen a lesson.

Su Chen shrank his neck.

He was fearful inside, but still, he nodded his head.

He knew such an opportunity was too rare, too honorable.

What was the fastest method for a Martial Cultivator to increase his strength? It was to fight against a stronger opponent!

Unfortunately, this method was not easy to come by.

Those strong individuals generally would not be willing to fight with Martial Cultivators much weaker than themselves. Like Zhao Wuwei, Xuu Zhan, and others of the Elders’ Council, casually exchanging blows or sparring with their disciples was simply out of the question.

If they really were to fight, it was usually with the intent to kill the other party, which was unacceptable.

Now, with individuals like Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei willing to serve as sparring partners, it was something Su Chen didn’t expect and was something he was very grateful and excited for!!!

"I have other matters to attend to!" However, the next second, Bai Zhen indifferently spoke and then left.

"Su Chen, you disabled Yang Pi; Yang Pi is the disciple Bai Zhen valued the most!" Xuu Zhan explained.

"Understood!" Su Chen nodded, not saying much else.

"Alright, come with us!" Following that, Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei led Su Chen away.

It wasn’t long before.

In the courtyard inside Xuu Zhan’s attic.

They had just arrived.

Suddenly.

Xuu Zhan actually made a direct move.

Too fast!

Completely unexpected!

Su Chen had no idea it was coming!

The key point was, he hadn’t been on guard against Xuu Zhan.

As a result, he was struck solidly, sent flying backward, vomiting blood profusely...

Several meters away, Su Chen managed to stop himself, his complexion slightly pale.

"Kid, first lesson, never relax your guard at any time, and never trust anyone absolutely!" Xuu Zhan said.

"Elder Xuu, that sneak attack..." Su Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was injured, but not severely, obviously because Xuu Zhan had held back. Otherwise, with Xuu Zhan’s Seventh Stage of Hollow Void Realm strength, a sneak attack on him would have killed Su Chen instantly.

"Next up, the Second Elder and I will take turns attacking you, but we will suppress our realms to the Fourth-Turn Hollow Void Realm," Xuu Zhan said indifferently.

"Elder Xuu, even if you suppress your realms, your actual combat power will still be a lot stronger! Besides, the Fourth Stage of Hollow Void Realm isn’t a particularly low level. Maybe we could negotiate, and you suppress it to the Third Turn of Hollow Void Realm instead!" Su Chen said with a bitter smile, haggling.

The response to Su Chen was—Xuu Zhan’s fist.

Whoosh!!!

Xuu Zhan charged at him directly, moving very quickly, faster than Su Chen expected, at least reaching the level of a hundred meters in an instant.

"Damn it!" Just when Su Chen wanted to say something else, he had no more time to speak; he had to fight.

What followed.

Was a series of harsh lessons.

On one hand, whether it was Xuu Zhan or Zhao Wuwei, suppressing their realm to the Fourth Stage of Hollow Void Realm, their actual combat power was comparable to an average Fifth Turn of Hollow Void Realm expert—it was too overwhelming!

Su Chen was still lacking somewhat.

On the other hand, knowing that Elder Xuu and Elder Zhao were refining and training him, how could he possibly resort to using Soul Techniques or the Eight Divisions Demon-Sealing Seal?

Therefore, his two most powerful moves were effectively out of play.

Without these two moves, Su Chen could only rely on his sword.

But he was utterly unable to defend!

It was clear to see that Su Chen had almost become a human punching bag, being struck three to five times in every breath he took.

It was only because his physical strength was so astonishing that if this continued, Su Chen wouldn’t have lasted even one Shichen without dying an irreversible death.

In fact, at the start, Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei both held back, as they feared they might genuinely inflict serious injuries on Su Chen.

But, gradually, they realized that Su Chen’s physical strength was unimaginably terrifying, akin to a human-shaped Demon Beast, practically impossible to kill.

So, step by step, they began to let loose, even exerting their full strength beneath the limits of the Fourth-Turn Hollow Void Realm.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Quickly.

One day passed.

The gains Su Chen made in this day were beyond imagination—massive!!!

Firstly, there was combat experience.

Placed in the Divine Martial Continent, Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei might not be considered geniuses or even strong fighters, but both had lived for thousands of years and experienced tens of thousands of battles, both large and small. Their combat experience was exceedingly rich.

Although Su Chen had combat experience from his previous life on Earth, which was quite remarkable in itself, compared to the thousands of years of Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei, it counted for nothing.

Hence, Su Chen was like a dry sponge, frantically absorbing knowledge, and his combat experience grew rapidly.

Moreover, Su Chen was becoming increasingly familiar with his own movement technique in combat!

The "Cloud Shadow Step" was so well-practiced that it was on the verge of making a breakthrough to the state of Perfection, because avoiding getting hit was crucial, and to dodge required reliance on his movement techniques. So, he was being forcibly pushed to break the limits of his movement techniques, time and again.

In one day, his speed had increased from covering forty to fifty meters in an instant to around sixty meters.

Tomorrow.

It continued.

Another day.

Another battle!!!

However, unlike the previous two days, it was now Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei together against Su Chen alone.

Su Chen’s struggle became even more pitiable; for most of the day, he lay on the ground, getting knocked down, standing up again, and getting knocked down, standing up again... this cycle repeated over and over.

By the end of the day, he looked as if he had been drenched and covered in fresh blood, hardly resembling a human being.

Too gruesome to behold.

Another day.

It continued as such.

Then.

It ended.

For more than three days, comparable to the ferociousness of Hell itself, Su Chen felt a chill just thinking about it.

But the rewards were huge!

He had not achieved a breakthrough in terms of Realm, yet his actual combat power had at least doubled compared to three days ago.

The gains were substantial.

And the grand birthday celebration for the Head of the Lin family in Wind Chant City was approaching fast.

It was time to set off!

In the end, unable to dissuade Su Chen, Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei could only acquiesce to him going to Wind Chant City.

In front of the Burning Heaven Sect.

Su Chen walked alone, preparing to leave the Burning Heaven Mountain Range.

And on a peak within the sect, Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei were watching Su Chen’s departing figure.

"Great Elder, should we follow?" Zhao Wuwei asked.

"No need. The kid’s strength is pretty decent now. Unless someone from the Seventh or Eighth Stage of Hollow Void Realm comes along, nobody can keep him if he decides to flee!" Xuu Zhan shook his head.

"But I’m worried the Lin Family bastards will play dirty, and if the older generation steps in..." Zhao Wuwei was still concerned.

"They shouldn’t interfere; but if they indeed do, I notified our Sect Leader a few days ago!" Xuu Zhan said with a smile.

Zhao Wuwei was shocked. "Great Elder, you... why didn’t you say so earlier!"

With the Sect Leader secretly protecting him, Su Chen was essentially safe.

In front of the Burning Heaven Sect.

Just as Su Chen was about to speed up.

Suddenly.

"Senior brother, wait for me!" a voice called from behind him.

Su Chen instinctively looked back.

It was Ling Long.

"Junior sister, you..." Su Chen was surprised, for he had received news that Ling Long was in secluded cultivation.

"Senior brother, I’ll go with you to Wind Chant City!" Ling Long spoke, and she even smiled!!!

Ling Long actually smiled.

And truly, when she smiled, she was exceedingly beautiful.

Su Chen was momentarily dazed.

However, right after, he coughed awkwardly, "Let’s not do ’junior sister’ and ’senior brother.’ It sounds uncomfortable. Just call me by name. Ling Long, why do you want to go to Wind Chant City with me?"

"We can look out for each other!"

"Tell me the truth!" Do you think Su Chen would believe that? He didn’t need Ling Long to look out for him at all.

"My family is in Wind Chant City, and I..." Ling Long began, but stopped short of finishing.
