Chapter 572 History
He had lived for so many years and seen countless powerful people, but he had never seen anyone as powerful as Jiang Hao.
Unfathomable and supreme, standing before this being, he, a mighty god-king, felt like an ant, like a mortal gazing at the stars, lamenting his own insignificance.
What's even more terrifying is that he had never heard of or seen this person before.
Such a mysterious and powerful figure, coupled with such an extraordinary cultivation method, all of this makes one feel that something is amiss.
But Elder Lian could sense that Jiang Hao was a good person because he was nurturing people and helping them become stronger.
This is a great act of kindness.
From then on, Xiao Yu stayed at the academy. He was already exceptionally talented, and with Jiang Hao's teachings, he became even more powerful.
Within a few days, he swept aside many of the academy's most outstanding talents, and his reputation soared.
Many people exclaimed that the academy had produced another unparalleled genius, and that the era of their Tianfeng Academy was about to begin.
Chen Bei was the happiest about Xiao Yu's appearance; he finally had a suitable opponent.
The other geniuses in the academy were no match for him, and he couldn't beat the Dragon Baby either. He was stuck in the middle, neither up nor down, which was very uncomfortable.
Now that's good, Xiao Yu has arrived.
The two are of similar strength and talent, and they cultivate the same kind of technique.
In their first encounter, they fought for three hundred rounds. Chen Bei felt exhilarated and roared to the sky.
"Great! Finally, a worthy opponent!"
Xiao Yu smiled, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"Same to you!"
From then on, the two began a period of intense battles and mutual growth.
They sparred during the day and practiced at night, day and night without stopping.
Every day, two figures can be seen clashing fiercely in the academy's martial arts arena, their golden and black lights intertwining, their fists and feet flying alongside their spells.
Their progress is frighteningly fast, almost changing every day.
Pizi Long, perched on the wall, watched the two figures locked in a fierce battle and exclaimed, "These two kids are both prodigies!"
Chu Yu stood to the side, arms crossed, and said with a smile, "That's good. Competition leads to progress."
Pizi Long nodded, unusually serious for once.
"I have high hopes for them. This era is destined to produce great figures."
In the distance, the baby dragon sat on the roof, swinging its two short legs, holding a spirit fruit in its arms, munching on it while looking around.
"Hmm, that's interesting."
He tilted his head and squinted his big eyes.
"However, you still can't beat me."
After saying that, he took a bite of the spirit fruit, his cheeks puffed out, and he happily swung his legs.
……
Time passed quickly amidst the competition, and Chen Bei and the others all broke through to the Dao Palace realm.
Of course, Chen Bei's breakthroughs inevitably involve taking hits, and every time he breaks through, the dragon baby appears precisely on time.
As soon as Chen Bei stabilized his cultivation, the mark on his chest began to heat up, gleaming with golden light, as if saying, "I'm here, get ready to get a beating."
Chen Bei's lips twitched, and he sighed helplessly. He was used to it.
In the Guanglun Sea Secret Realm, he was beaten four times; he couldn't escape this calamity every time he broke through.
The baby dragon is very "gentle" in its attacks; it won't seriously injure you, but it will definitely make you wince in pain.
The audience grew larger and larger, including Xiao Yu, who stood to the side with his arms crossed, solemnly mourning Chen Bei, though the barely suppressed smile on his lips betrayed him.
"Brother Chen, please accept my condolences." Xiao Yu patted Chen Bei on the shoulder.
Chen Bei glared at him: "You're enjoying this?"
Xiao Yu nodded seriously: "Yes, I am indeed quite happy."
Chen Bei: "..."
He couldn't escape the beating, and Chen Bei ended up with a bruised and swollen face.
Fortunately, Chen Bei also saw hope. He is now more able to fight back than before. From falling to the ground quickly at the beginning, he can now withstand dozens of moves and occasionally even throw a punch or two back.
This means a draw is possible, and once a draw is achieved, how far away will it be to overtake them?
After arriving at the Dao Palace, the group felt they had gained enough experience and decided to leave Tianfeng Academy to travel the world.
Chen Bei, Chu Yu, and Pi Zi Long traveled towards the Chu Kingdom, while Xiao Yu set off alone to the Western Continent, saying he wanted to experience the exotic customs of that land.
Chen Bei followed Chu Yu to the capital of Chu. He didn't want to cause trouble, but some things couldn't be avoided.
The Chu Kingdom's royal palace seals away an ancient divine weapon—the Houyi Bow.
Chen Bei inadvertently approached the sealed area, and the divine bow flew out on its own and fell into his hand.
Hou Yi's bow shone with golden light, and its arrows shot into the sky, so powerful that even immortals and gods dared not take it head-on.
"What a fine bow! It truly deserves to be called a peerless divine weapon." Chen Bei looked at Hou Yi's bow with great delight.
He has now obtained the divine weapon that his father once used, which was also used by the ancient god Hou Yi.
Chen Bei was happy, but the Chu royal family was distressed.
This is a divine weapon that I've kept in my family for so long, and I haven't dared to use it as my master all these years. Now that an outsider has come, I just casually use it as my master?
This is a huge slap in the face to the Chu royal family, especially since their own princess is cheering on outsiders, saying things like "Chen Bei is really amazing."
How is this any different from the Minotaur back then? The Chu royal family members were furious and said they would teach Chen Bei a lesson.
The Emperor of Chu's face turned ashen, and he said in a cold voice, "The Houyi Bow is the national treasure of my Chu Kingdom!"
Chen Bei said awkwardly, "It chose this itself, there's nothing I can do about it."
"That's right, Father. Houyi Bow took it on its own initiative. It wasn't Chen Bei who snatched it. Divine weapons have spirits, so naturally they belong to whoever they recognize as their master. Father, you're not going to take it back, are you?" Chu Yu quickly spoke up for Chen Bei from the side.
This is a fact; Houyi's bow possessed a spirit and recognized its master on its own, so forcibly keeping it would be useless.
The Emperor of Chu's lips twitched as he watched his daughter protecting Chen Bei. Who could understand the feelings of a father at that moment?
His daughter, whom he had raised with great difficulty, had been kidnapped by Huang Mao in just a short time, and Huang Mao even betrayed him right in front of him.
The Emperor of Chu was very upset and wanted to beat Chen Bei, but he couldn't lose face in front of everyone, so he could only say, "Fine, he can take the divine weapon, but he has to take up a post in Chu."
This was the Chu emperor's thinking: he could lose the divine weapon, but he couldn't let it go to waste.
Chen Bei naturally agreed to this request, since he had indeed taken someone else's things.
Chen Bei left the palace with Hou Yi's bow, and the news spread throughout the Chu Kingdom, causing countless forces to take action.
The commotion Chen Bei caused in the Chu Kingdom was only just beginning; he had only recently acquired Hou Yi's bow.
An ancient monster from the Chu royal family, who had lived for thousands of years, coveted Chen Bei's special body and set a trap to capture him, intending to possess his body.
On the day of the possession, the old monster's divine sense probed into Chen Bei's body.
Then he regretted it. As soon as he entered Chen Bei's body, he saw a headless immortal floating in the void, with a huge hole in his chest from which blood flowed incessantly.
An angel without wings hangs upside down in the sky, its face contorted. A demon, now only a head, howls in the darkness, its eyes burning with green will-o'-the-wisps.
Countless incomplete phantoms of gods and demons, some kneeling, some standing, some crying, some laughing, form a chilling, ancient scroll.
"How is this possible? Just who is this guy?"
The old monster's consciousness was shattered in the instant, and he was ejected from Chen Bei's body with a scream. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, his whole body trembled, and he muttered:
"A devil...he's a devil...a bunch of devils live inside him..."
