The next morning, before the morning sun shone into the courtyard, Wu Chen had already gotten up to begin his cultivation.
With his upper body bare, he meticulously practiced the [Flying Cloud Crane Dance Painting]. Although the [Flying Cloud Crane Dance Painting] no longer had the effect of breaking through the bottleneck, it still had a great effect on tempering the body. Accompanied by a strong heartbeat, veins were exposed under the skin, giving people a mighty and majestic feeling.
"Hah!" Accompanied by a low shout, a straight punch was thrown out. The speed was so fast and the strength was so fierce that it gave people the illusion that space was distorted.
"Brother, how about taking a punch from me?”Hearing the sound of fists coming from the backyard, Pu Shan flicked his wrist, pushed open the door, and walked in.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Although Wu Chen and Pu Shan were both experts at the Transformation Marrow stage, one was an empty shell while the other was a real one. The difference between the two was obvious. Faced with Pu Shan's actions that were purely asking for abuse, Wu Chen was not stupid enough to refute.
Fist against fist, palm against palm, leg against leg…perhaps they all understood the effects of morning exercise, so Wu Chen and Pu Shan both used the same moves.
"Boom!" The two fists collided once again. Pu Shan retreated five steps, while Wu Chen retreated three steps. However, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
"Brother, I'm at a disadvantage when it comes to martial arts. Why don't we do what we usually do, and I'll use my Dao techniques to spar with you?”Looking at the four large footprints on the floor tiles in front of him, Pu Shan, who was even weaker in martial arts, helplessly shook off the water vapor on his clothes.
"Alright, come! Let's see if I've improved!" Facing Pu Shan's dao, Wu Chen had suffered quite a bit.
However, after rebirth, the two paths of faith were the most widely spread dharmic formulations in the world, and there were many cultivators. In order to give Wu Chen a head start in future battles, Pu Shan would use dharmic formulations to feed Wu Chen these few days.
"Take my first move, Thrust!" With his hand unable to move the Dharmaraja Seal, Pu Shan completed his communication with the earth element in the shortest time possible. Earth spikes rose from the courtyard and stabbed fiercely at Wu Chen.
"Soaring Dragon!" Facing Pu Shan's sudden attack, Wu Chen had already come up with a way to deal with it after a few days of battle. He extended his hands and took out Cang Yue from his storage ring. He gripped the spear and struck it fiercely in four directions, before sending a dragon flying towards Pu Shan.
"Earthshaking Wave!" Wu Chen's spear technique was fast, but it was not faster than Pu Shan's dao technique. Just as Wu Chen broke through the earth spikes, the ground of the entire courtyard began to shake. Waves of earth rose up and formed layers of earth walls, sealing off Wu Chen's attack path.
"Break!" Looking at the rising earth wall in front of him, Wu Chen made use of the sharpness of the moon to form two brilliant light shadows in front of him and behind him, breaking through the waves of earth that kept rolling toward him.
When he broke through the fifteenth layer of the earth wall, Wu Chen's speed could no longer keep up with the waves of earth that swept over. Just as his body was about to be shaken off by the earth wall, Pu Shan's attack also came to an abrupt halt.
"How is it? I only used 60% of my magic power.”He slapped the ground twice with his palms. The ground that had been messed up by Pu Shan's spell returned to its original state bit by bit, but the cracked stone bricks still cracked.
"Big brother, you're not being kind. You're a Transformation stage expert, equivalent to a Xiantian master, yet you're using 60% of your mana to beat a rookie like me.”Seeing Pu Shan's smug appearance and thinking that he would not lose if he lost the battle, Wu Chen reflected on his actions as he extended his right middle finger and fiercely poked Pu Shan.
"Brat, are you looking for a beating?!" Even though his words were extremely harsh, Pu Shan merely took out the wine jug at his waist and started drinking without even looking at Wu Chen.
"Give me the wine!" After calming down the churning blood and Qi in his body, Wu Chen sat down and extended his right hand to ask Pu Shan for a drink. Although the battle just now had only lasted for a moment, Wu Chen had consumed a lot of zhenqi in order to break through the layers of earth waves.
"Do you know where you lost?" After handing the wine jug to Wu Chen, Pu Shan couldn't help but pat Wu Chen's shoulder.
"My cultivation is insufficient!" Every time he sparred with Pu Shan, Wu Chen would be able to break through the palm-leaf fan's moves at the beginning, but at the end, even a simple Earth Spike would completely defeat him.
" Wrong. With your current cultivation level, if you want to win against me, I'll have to go easy on you…Your current weakness is quite a bit of attack power. It's not your battle awareness, but your lack of control over the rhythm of the battle. This causes you to be extremely powerful at the beginning, but in the end, you have no follow-up power. Your attacks can finish off cultivators with lower cultivation levels than you in a short period of time, but against higher-level cultivators, you have no way to fight back. Therefore, you have to learn to control the rhythm. Once you grasp the rhythm of the battle, you'll be able to defeat the enemy. Only then could you better display your own strengths and suppress the strengths of others. Of course, cultivation was also very important!”Pu Shan had seen Wu Chen's improvement in the past year, but it was precisely because he had improved too quickly that Wu Chen had been lacking in certain aspects. As Wu Chen's elder brother, Pu Shan had the responsibility to help Wu Chen make up for it.
"Rhythm!" Wu Chen was so clueless about his own weakness. Because no one had pointed it out before, he had ended up in a dead end. Wu Chen had always thought that it was a problem with his own cultivation, so he did not think further. Now that Pu Shan had pointed out his own problem, Wu Chen could not help but lower his head and start thinking.
"A sense of rhythm requires the accumulation of many battle experiences. It's not something that can be imagined!”Knowing that Wu Chen had already found his mistake, Pu Shan didn't say much and started drinking alone.
As time passed, Wu Chen continued to sort out the questions in his mind. Only by systematically sorting them out could he become stronger.
"Brother Shan, Brother Chen, you're all here!”Just as Wu Chen was tidying up his things, Ning Cai 'er walked in with an envelope made of plain gold paper.
"Cai 'er, what's the matter?" Ning Cai 'er usually wouldn't enter the courtyard at this time. After all, the right to use the courtyard belonged to Wu Chen at this time, and if she entered, it meant that something important had happened.
"Here is a letter that Grandpa Dong sent to Brother Chen! Moreover, the servant said that this was an urgent matter and needed Brother Chen to rush over immediately!”Ning Cai 'er handed the plain gold envelope to Wu Chen and sat down.
"Oh!" When he heard that Dong Qinglian had sent someone to deliver the letter, and that it was written in such a high-standard envelope, it meant that the contents of the letter were extraordinary. He immediately tore open the envelope.
"Today at noon, at the martial arts field in the south of the city, we will kill the Southern King. I hope that Young Master will arrive on time!”
"Wu Feng has been defeated and is now confined to the Eastern Palace! Please take care, Young Master!"
There were two thin pieces of gold paper in the gold envelope. Although each piece of gold paper had a few numbers on it, the things they expressed made Wu Chen feel happy. At the same time, there was also a hint of danger.
"Big Brother, what do you think?" Pu Shan was far more experienced than Wu Chen, so Wu Chen still needed Pu Shan's help in many matters. As the authority, it was normal for Wu Chen to not consider everything.
After reading the letter that Dong Qinglian had sent over, Pu Shan couldn't help but stand up. He walked around the stone table twice, and after some thought, he said," King Nan has been beheaded, and Wu Feng has only been grounded in the Eastern Palace. Although he has responded, it has not hurt Wu Feng's foundation. Most of the officials in the court are still on Wu Feng's side, which means that the overall situation is still in Wu Feng's hands. If we push Wu Feng into a corner now, it will definitely be a disaster, a disaster that could affect the entire empire. Although you don't like power, you don't want to see the empire fall apart. Since Wu Feng is forced to retreat, we will retreat as well. The further we retreat, the better. Let him and Wu Yuan fight.”
"Big brother, come with me!" After listening to Pu Shan's analysis, Wu Chen also understood the crux of the matter. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse, not to mention that King Nan's death was due to the loss of Wu Feng's arm. Thus, this was not the time for Wu Chen to make an appearance.
Retreat! Refund time! To exchange space! This was Wu Chen's wisest choice…
"Will it be dangerous for Brother Chen to go out now?”The Southern King's death would definitely cause turmoil in the court. If the Southern King's henchmen retaliated at this time, it would be quite dangerous for Wu Chen. After all, the only person in the empire who could threaten Wu Feng was Wu Chen. Although Ning Cai 'er usually did not care about these things, it did not mean that she did not understand the power of these things.
"Cai 'er, don't worry. I, Pu Shan, am not just there to watch. With me here, I guarantee that nothing will happen to Brother Chen!”Why did Pu Shan want to go with them? Wasn't it because he was afraid that the death of King Nan would force some people into a corner and harm Wu Chen's life?
"Cai 'er, you stay at home. If you encounter anything unusual, go hide in the mountains with Ning Zeng.”No matter where one hid in the storm of politics, as long as one was related to this matter, one would not be able to escape. Now that Pu Shan was following him, Wu Chen was not worried about him, but rather about Ning Zeng and Ning Cai 'er. After all, they had no ability to protect themselves.
"Cai 'er knows. Brother Chen, hurry up and come back!”Facing Wu Chen's instructions, Ning Cai 'er naturally understood. Seeing that Wu Chen and Pu Shan were about to leave, Ning Cai' er immediately ran into the study and told her brother what had happened today.
