A ray of sunlight poured down.
Tu Su was in the pri of his life, full of spirited vigor. Bathed in that ray of sunlight, he seed to be enveloped in a divine aura. To look at him, even from afar, was to witness a deity.
Whether on the field or across the Qingyuan River, countless people were shaken to their core, watching him in silent awe.
This man… he seed even more majestic and outstanding than a mber of the Imperial Clan. What was his background?
"At first, I didn't consider you my opponent, rely soone I had to kill. But now…"
Tu Su stepped forward at a leisurely pace, staring at Chen Yang with a grin as he spoke, "You are, just barely, qualified to be my opponent."
Yang Hu and Qin Hao stared intently at Tu Su, their focus absolute.
This man didn't possess any overt sharpness or emanate a ferocious aura. Though he was all smiles, he projected an intangible yet palpable sense of danger.
Perhaps we can't even withstand a single blow?
Yang Hu and Qin Hao exchanged a look, each seeing a trace of shock and horror in the other's eyes.
THUMP!
They took a step forward, shielding Chen Yang behind them.
"No need to be so nervous, you two."
Tu Su tapped a finger to his temple, a smirk playing on his lips. "If I truly wanted to make a move, you'd already be gone."
"And that includes the person you're trying to protect."
Chen Yang struggled to his feet, moved to the front, and t Tu Su's gaze directly.
"I'll give you half a month to heal."
This scion of the Imperial Clan held a silk handkerchief, his profound eyes filled with utter nonchalance as he glanced at Chen Yang. "In half a month, I will co to kill you."
The crowd: "…"
A single sentence was enough to shake the heavens.
Whether it was the people at the venue or the onlookers across the Qingyuan River, all were dumbstruck and utterly astounded.
Those words were so damn domineering!
Does that an he's giving Chen Yang enough ti to heal, intending to kill him only after he's recovered to his peak?
This…
Through these past few great battles, Chen Yang's strength had been fully showcased, especially in today's fight. He could even hold his own against a Heaven Saint.
Just who in the world is this man?!
Logically, since he wanted to kill Chen Yang, now would be the perfect ti to strike.
But look at him.
Not only did he hold back, but he also gave Chen Yang half a month to recover.
Such confidence was utterly astounding.
Chen Yang's brow twitched as he stared at Tu Su. He was certain he had never t this person before today, let alone offended him.
"Heal well. I'm off."
Tu Su smiled at Chen Yang, then turned and strode away. As he walked, he added, "By the way, my na is Tu Su. I'm from the Imperial Clan."
"My heavens, so he's from the Imperial Clan!"
"No wonder he's so cocky! It's said that the Falcon Master is their agent. It looks like the grudge started with him! After all, the majesty of the Imperial Clan is not to be trifled with."
"How naive! If the Forr Chief Military Commander's talent continues to grow, he will inevitably threaten the position of the Imperial Clan, just like the Four Great Royal Families before them! People like that can only be crushed by force."
"…"
A single stone had stirred a thousand ripples.
Who would have thought that just as the Four Great Royal Families were toppled, the Imperial Clan, which had remained in seclusion for decades, would suddenly erge?
And they had specifically nad Chen Yang as their target.
This…
This Forr Chief Military Commander truly faced one disaster after another, unable to find a mont's peace.
HUFF… HUFF.
"Boss, this guy is really strong," Yang Hu said in a grave voice, taking a deep breath and realizing his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
"Indeed."
Chen Yang nodded without saying more and turned to walk toward Chen Shangwu.
***
News that the Four Great Royal Families had been toppled pierced through Cangyun City. This, along with the appearance of the Imperial Clan and their high-profile declaration to kill Chen Yang in half a month, quickly spread across the entire country.
Amidst the cheers, many also began to worry for the Forr Chief Military Commander.
That was the Imperial Clan, after all!
They could be considered the supre power in the mortal world, rivaled only by the cultivation sects of Yuning Mountain.
So, did Chen Yang have any chance of winning?
So bookmakers opened betting pools on the matter, and without exception, the odds were heavily stacked against Chen Yang.
「Chen Family.」
With the support of the Pill Dragon King and the full backing of the Chen Family, Chen Shangwu managed to survive. However, his power was greatly diminished, and there was no longer any possibility of him recovering to his peak.
"You little brat! I was on my deathbed! How could you have the heart to refuse a dying man's request?"
Inside the room, Chen Shangwu bristled with an anger so great he looked like he wanted to throttle Chen Yang.
"Stop pretending. Everyone said you'll live to be a hundred without any problem."
Chen Yang rolled his eyes at him, then pointed to Chen Hua in his wheelchair. "The position of Sovereign is best suited for my uncle."
"Take care of your injuries. I'm leaving."
Chen Shangwu: "…"
"That little scoundrel."
Chen Shangwu shook his head with a light chuckle, then his eyes suddenly turned cold. "Chen Hua, go to the lands of the other three great royal families as soon as possible and wipe them out! The Chen Family was nearly annihilated. Shouldn't they repay that debt?"
"Yes!" Chen Hua nodded.
Chen Shangwu continued, "I, Chen Shangwu, am not seeking to beco a king or a conqueror. I only want to be able to help that boy, Chen Yang, when it matters most."
「Three days later.」
Chen Yang's injuries had improved, and much of the color had returned to his face.
After several life-or-death battles, and by intentionally guiding external forces into his body, the bottleneck in his cultivation had begun to loosen. Breaking through to the Earth Saint realm was just a matter of ti.
Early that morning.
Chen Yang personally picked up Sun Xiaoli and the other two girls to take them to a sales company.
「anwhile, at Yuyang Sales Company.」
A tall, curvaceous woman in a long black dress stood at the main entrance. She glanced intermittently between the road and her wristwatch, her anticipation clear.
"Good morning, Boss."
"Boss!"
The employees arriving for work greeted her respectfully. But after entering the company, they gathered in small groups and began to whisper.
"Tsk, tsk… The boss isn't wearing her uniform today, and she's clearly dressed up. I wonder who she's waiting for."
"Is there any need to guess? Our boss is definitely in love and waiting for her man!"
"It might even be that Little Prince."
"…"
Soon, a business van pulled up in front of the company.
CLICK-CLACK-CLICK.
The woman's eyes suddenly brightened. She walked swiftly toward the van in her high heels, her delicate face lit with a mixture of joy, nervousness, and excitent.
"Yufei."
Chen Yang got out of the car, raised a hand in greeting, then pointed to Sun Xiaoli and her friends with a smile. "These are the three girls I told you about on the phone."
Sun Xiaoli and her friends greeted her, looking a little nervous.
"What beautiful girls."
Zhou Yufei smiled in response, pulling them toward the company without a single glance at Chen Yang, leaving him standing there.
Chen Yang: "…"
Chen Yang rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward, and quickly followed them inside.
Once inside the company, every single employee stared at Chen Yang, sizing him up.
"Hello, everyone."
Chen Yang knew exactly what their looks ant and could only respond with a smile.
「Half an hour later.」
Zhou Yufei personally gave Sun Xiaoli and the others a tour of the company before handing them over to the sales departnt manager. She repeatedly instructed the manager to be patient with the newcors.
「CEO's office.」
Zhou Yufei pouted, saying nothing. She just stared at Chen Yang, her clear, autumn-like eyes gradually misting over.
"Yufei," Chen Yang said, scratching his head with an embarrassed chuckle.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yufei turned her head away as tears trickled down her cheeks.
Clasping hands, they could only gaze at each other through tear-filled eyes, choked by a silence too heavy for words.
"…"
