Chapter 2

“Senior Brother Su Chen is one of our outer sect’s geniuses. Although he is at Level Seven of Qi Gathering Realm and can’t defeat that Level Three Qi Sea Realm beast, he will definitely be able to escape!”

“And with the help from Elder Xie. How could Senior Brother Su Chen be injured?”

“The reason why the elder said that is definitely because he doesn’t want us to go out early to gain experience.”

“That’s right!”

“That’s right. It’s impossible for him to be injured.”

After that, there was immediately a murmur of agreement from the surrounding crowd.

They had all seen Su Chen’s true strength, so they naturally did not believe that Su Chen was injured, not to mention the rumor that Su Chen’s meridians were broken.

“Even so!”

“Even if Senior Brother Su Chen is really injured, it must be a minor injury.”

“Everyone, don’t forget what happened to Senior Brother Su Chen the first two times!”

“Yes! We have to believe that he will definitely make it this time.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up after they heard that.

A year ago, Su Chen faced two life-threatening situations.

The first time was when he was out on a mission and accidentally barged into a demonic sect’s stronghold.

At that time, everyone thought that he would definitely die.

However, the next day, there was news that a righteous sect’s martial arts expert had passed by that place and destroyed all the demonic sect’s strongholds.

As a result, Su Chen obtained all the resources in the stronghold, and his realm increased by two levels.

The other time was when he was on his way home and met the notorious Blood Demon Sect elder.

Seeing Su Chen’s extraordinary talent, the elder wanted to extract his blood essence and refine it.

When the news came back, everyone in the Great Mystery Sect thought Su Chen was really going to die.

But…

What surprised everyone was…

Three days later, Su Chen returned to the sect alive, without any injuries.

His cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, with a breakthrough of three levels in a row.

This had happened twice in a row, which made everyone in the Great Mystery Sect curious about Su Chen.

From then on, no one was worried that Su Chen would face any danger outside.

This incident happened very suddenly, but all the outer sect disciples who had a good relationship with Su Chen thought that he would not be injured at all.

“Oh, I heard that the Everlasting Sect was spreading rumors that Senior Brother Su Chen would die in less than a day…”

At this moment, a young outer sect disciple suddenly spoke.

As soon as he finished talking, everyone’s expressions instantly turned cold.

“Humph!”

“Those Everlasting Sect bastards! When I make a breakthrough to Qi Sea Realm, I will definitely settle the score with them!”

An outer sect disciple looked in the direction of the Everlasting Sect and said indignantly.

Su Chen treated him well and often gave him some cultivation resources.

Therefore, when he heard that Su Chen’s accident might be related to the Everlasting Sect and they even spread rumors about Su Chen, he couldn’t help but feel angry.

“Alright! The elders will investigate whether this matter is fixed by the Everlasting Sect disciples. Everything will come to light when we see Senior Brother Su Chen. We must not be rash!” a handsome outer sect disciple said at this moment, looking at the indignant disciples, grim-faced.

Most of the disciples here had received Su Chen’s favor.

Therefore, they respected Su Chen very much.

Hearing the Everlasting Sect smear Su Chen’s name, they were naturally unhappy.

“The Everlasting Sect wants us to act impulsively this time and cause a war between the two sects. We shouldn’t come to their door now, we can’t let them have their way. Otherwise, even the elders won’t be able to save us!”

After that, Cao Yun glanced in the direction of Su Chen’s residence.

Su Chen had a good relationship with him and often gave him advice on cultivation.

As the person close to Su Chen, and also the leader of the people present, Cao Yun naturally had to be responsible for these junior brothers and sisters.

What if they really rushed to the Everlasting Sect in a fit of anger?

At that time, he would be a sinner of the sect.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Su Chen will be fine. I believe everyone here knows about his previous two experiences. He has the legendary Heavenly Dao providence on him. He will be fine. Although Elder Xie has no way out until now, we have to believe in Senior Brother Su,” Cao Yun said firmly.

“That’s right! We have to believe in Senior Brother Su Chen. Perhaps he will benefit from this disaster and directly enter the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!”

Just as Cao Yun finished speaking, a disciple spoke up.

After that, the other disciples present echoed.

“Perhaps by the time we reach Senior Brother Su Chen’s residence, he’ll completely recover,” Cao Yun said with a smile.

Then, he led the disciples toward Su Chen’s residence.

…

At the same time.

In Su Chen’s residence.

…

[Ding! Congratulations on being bragged about by others. The brag is Level White!]

[Bragging content: Reaching the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm: 1/30]

[Bragging content: Reaching the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm: 2/30]

At this moment.

A series of system notifications sounded.

Su Chen was stunned when he heard the system’s voice.

It seemed that the connections that the original host had built in the past were not in vain!

If people kept bragging about him like this, not only would his injuries recover, but he would break through one level in his cultivation realm.

[Bragging content: Senior Brother Su Chen will definitely return to normal: 22/25]

[Bragging content: Reaching the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm: 10/30]

[…]

A series of notifications rang out in Su Chen’s mind.

Buzz…

Very quickly.

A majestic spiritual energy exploded in his body.

The broken meridians were quickly repaired.

In the blink of an eye, he was back to normal.

Feeling the changes in his body, Su Chen could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Soon after, he slowly got up from the bed, his bones making cracking sounds.

In the next moment, the system, which had been ringing in his mind, stopped.

The originally meager spiritual power in his body suddenly stagnated.

Immediately after that.

“Boom!”

A rumbling sound came from Su Chen’s body.

The room suddenly was lit up brightly. Endless divine light rushed out from his dantian, making deafening sounds like a tsunami.

In Su Chen’s dantian, the spiritual energy seemed to be gushing out endlessly and turned into divine light, illuminating the entire room with golden colors.

The powerful spiritual energy flowed through Su Chen’s limbs and bones, causing his body to undergo earth-shattering changes.

“Boom!”

A dull sound came from Su Chen’s body as if some shackles in his body had been broken.

He instantly felt the world become clear as if he had ascended to immortality. That was really intoxicating.

The eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!
