Chapter Thirty-Five: Zi Yu's Majestic Power
Chen Ziyu's current state of mind was not as calm as outsiders thought, but rather more excited than anyone else. The vast and misty true energy emanating from Guo Ming directly pushed her to the four-star realm. Three stars and four stars are the watershed for the strong, and she herself is only in the mid-three-star stage today, and it may take ten or eight years to reach the four-star level with her own talent. However, in the vast true energy of Guo Ming, she broke through this barrier like a hot knife through butter, so what kind of realm did Guo Ming reach? Her heart was already surging with shocking waves.
The Wulin aristocracy divides its power into nine-star realms, with three small realms for each star. Even the strongest publicly known today is only at seven stars, and as for eight stars, nine stars are not even within their reach, let alone whether they actually exist or not. It's said that her own family's ancestor reached seven stars, but she has never seen it from birth to now, and when she asked her father about it, he just shook his head with a bitter smile, because he had never seen it either.
It can be seen that the strong among the seven stars mostly avoid the world and do not come out, those people are all old monsters of several hundred years. Their role is no different from nuclear bombs, they will not take action until the last step. So the strongest walkers in the world are just six-star, those people are enough to make themselves look up to.
In the martial arts world, young people with relatively good innate abilities are generally around three-star strength. To reach four stars without a decade or so of accumulation is impossible. However, there was once an exception - a young man who reached four stars at the age of twelve and rose like a comet. By the time he was twenty-four, he had already reached a terrifying level. He fought a great battle with several nine-star strongmen at the peak of Kunlun, but the outcome is unknown. After that, he disappeared from the martial arts world. Later generations remembered him and respectfully referred to him as the Martial Saint.
Wu Cheng'en is a monument, a monument that no one can surpass.
Since Guo Ming was able to push his strength to the four-star realm, could it be understood that he had already reached the five-star or even higher realm? As soon as she thought of this, her soul was shocked. At this moment, she was not allowed to think too much, and with a wave of her jade hand in the void, a talisman appeared, flashing with countless mysterious and obscure texts. With a light press, it instantly melted away like ice and snow meeting scorching flames, disappearing from everyone's astonished gaze.
Chen Ziyu turned around with a faint smile and looked at Leng Xin, saying calmly: "Do you think you have the ability to chase me?"
His face turned white and red, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect the situation to turn around so quickly, it happened so fast that he couldn't even react. Even with his keen eyesight, he couldn't understand how Chen Ziyu broke through their attack, he knew that her technique was top-notch. Although he didn't believe he would lose to her, he also didn't have the confidence to defeat Chen Ziyu. In the end, he could only let out a cold hum and leave swiftly.
The young masters around looked at the girl standing in mid-air, like a fairy from the ninth heaven, with dense love in their eyes. At this time, Chen Ziyu was the most enchanting, and before that, she could be said to be aloof, but now she was extraordinary, making people feel a sense of being unable to get close. It was precisely this feeling that made the love in their eyes even stronger. To have such a girl is a lifelong glory.
The second floor's Sun Ru had a strange look in his eyes, and he whispered softly: "It seems that things have changed, could it be that another force has intervened? However, if we can really get the Purple Jade, it would not be a bad thing." As he thought about this, a confident smile appeared on Sun Ru's handsome face.
Chen Baichuan was completely stunned, and it wasn't until Han Ming patted him on the shoulder that he came back to himself, unable to help but smile awkwardly. This wasn't his fault, after all - today's shocks had been too great for him.
"Brother Baihe, you've been hiding it from me for so long!" Han Mingli laughed and said.
"I had no idea, if this girl had told me earlier, why bother doing something she didn't want to do?" Chen Bai Chuan first sighed and shook his head, then his tone was filled with joy. Yes, with Zi Yu's current performance, her power is enough to laugh at the younger generation, which family dare to restrain her? If this matter is reported, even the old ancestor will be shocked! The price of his daughter has risen, Chen Bai Chuan naturally benefits from it too.
Chen Ziyu, however, did not show the surprise and shock that everyone expected. Her gaze drifted towards the corner, where the figure had already disappeared unnoticed. A feeling of loss and melancholy crept into her heart. After a moment, she suddenly snapped awake, her body's spiritual energy dissipating like receding tide, and at the same time, the deep impression in her mind also faded away.
Indeed, Chen Ziyu sighed. If it were possible to achieve in one leap, the elders of the family would have long since taken action to enhance their juniors' inner strength. She had only briefly improved earlier and didn't know what method Guo Ming used to make her inner strength increase so much; this kind of thing was probably unbelievable if spoken about. What annoyed Chen Ziyu the most, however, was that Guo Ming also took away the Dao Fa De Yin seal. This kind of thing could have been passed down by Guo Ming himself, but now he heartlessly took it back, apparently considering her unimportant in his eyes!
Looking at the reverent gazes of the people around her, Chen Ziyu whispered to herself: "Is this what it feels like to be a strong person?" Her gaze quickly shifted to the distance, perhaps in the direction where Guo Ming had left. Guo Ming, thank you.
If it weren't for Guo Ming today, her own father's reputation would probably plummet, and she herself would be destined to a life of loneliness. Just for this kindness, she should remember him forever.
In Chen Ziyu's boudoir, Chen Baichuan looked at Chen Ziyu sitting on the bed with surprise and excitement, unable to speak. After a while, he trembled and said: "Ziyu, when did you reach four stars?"
Chen Ziyu looked at her father's massive body trembling with excitement and shook her head, sighing: "I'm afraid I've let Father down."
"Disappointed? Chen Bai Chuan was taken aback, thinking the other person was being sarcastic about letting him go on blind dates. But at this point, who would care about such trivial matters? He chuckled and said: "If Zi Yu had told me earlier that you'd reached four stars, the blind date wouldn't have happened."
As soon as she heard her father's opening words, Chen Ziyu knew that he had misunderstood, but the subsequent events made her extremely interested, and her eyes lit up, anxiously asking: "Why?"
"Why? Chen Baichuan chuckled, "Martial arts emphasize solidity, one step at a time. Logically speaking, to reach the four-star realm, one would typically need to be around thirty years old. But even then, such individuals are usually from aristocratic families with higher innate talents. Your father, I, was only able to reach the four-star realm at thirty-one years old. And you, reaching the four-star realm before the age of sixteen, and already at mid-level or higher, this achievement is absolutely rare. Therefore, no one in the entire family will restrict you; instead, they will provide all resources for your cultivation. If fate permits, you might even receive personal guidance from the ancestors."
Chen Ziyu's eyes kept flashing, the family's full-force cultivation, what does this mean? That is to say, the family's spiritual medicine can be taken at will. If so, then maybe I can really break through to four stars, it's just that I don't know how to hide it anymore. As long as someone checks, everything will be exposed. But this temptation is really too great, of course, the most important thing is that in the future, I can completely do whatever I want. After making up her mind, Chen Ziyu nodded and said softly: "I understand."
"Zi Yu, when did you reach the four-star realm?" Chen Bai Chuan asked cautiously. This matter directly involved Zi Yu's future achievements, and according to the rules of the martial arts world, the earlier one reached their future achievements, the higher they would be. He had to get to the bottom of this. But Zi Yu couldn't answer, rubbing his forehead with a tired voice, saying: "I'm a bit tired."
"Ah, then you should rest well first! Chen Baichuan stood up, looked at his daughter with concern, and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him."
Chen Ziyu lay on the bed in her clothes, and Guo Ming's figure flashed through her mind once again.
The first time they met, he was eavesdropping on their conversation and got beaten up by him. The second time they met again, he showed extraordinary judgment and lured him away to treat Zhang Zihuan. The third time they met is now, and every time they meet, he shows a different side. Maybe the first time he was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!
It's hard not to think of Shui Mengyao again, a woman who is on par with me in terms of grades. It seems like Guo Ming has some ambiguous relationship with her!
