Chapter 211: First Test of Skills (Page 13)
Chen Yu felt happy when he saw the book "Ice Heart Mysterious Woman Secret" in Lin Qingxue's hand, which was emitting a faint white light.
The skills integrated into this system are indeed extraordinary.
"This technique is so powerful, why don't you Qingxue demonstrate it live?"
Chen Yu rubbed his hands, looking expectant.
Lin Qingxue rolled her eyes at him. "The spiritual energy around here is too thin to unleash the true power of this technique."
"That's right." Chen Yu nodded. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's already noon, and I'm a little hungry. Why don't we find a place to eat first, and then find a place with abundant spiritual energy to try out the new skills?"
Liu Ruyan nodded as well, rubbing her stomach and saying, "I've been hungry for a long time. The dry food I just had wasn't enough to fill me up at all."
Lin Qingxue put away her skills. "Let's go."
The three of them stood up and continued walking along the stream. Not long after they had gone, they heard a commotion coming from the front.
"There seems to be someone in front." Liu Ruyan said.
Chen Yu also heard it. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, vaguely hearing someone saying words like "Tianjian Sect" and "genius disciple".
"Could it be someone from the Tianjian Sect?" Chen Yu muttered to himself.
The Tianjian Sect is one of the most important sects for cultivating immortals on this continent. All of its disciples are gifted by heaven and have extraordinary strength.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Qingxue said.
The three of them quickened their pace and headed towards the direction of the sound. Turning a corner, they saw a dozen young men and women in uniform gathered in an open space in front of them.
These young men and women were all wearing white robes embroidered with golden flying sword patterns, with long swords hanging from their waists. They all looked dignified and it was obvious at first glance that they were from famous sects.
One of them was a tall, handsome man standing in the middle of the crowd, shouting something.
"You bunch of losers! You can't even catch a tiny red-flame fire fox, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shorter, handsome man beside him quickly explained, "Big Brother, that red-flame fire fox was too fast. We were careless for a moment and let it escape."
"Hmph, fast? I think you're just too stupid!" The eldest brother snorted coldly, "If Master knew how incompetent you are, he would definitely punish you severely!"
"Brother, calm down. We will definitely catch it next time!"
"Next time? I don't think you will have a next time!" The eldest brother drew the long sword from his waist and pointed at a thin, pale man, "Zhang San, why didn't you take action just now?
Did you let the Red Flame Fox go on purpose?"
The man named Zhang San's face changed and he waved his hands quickly. "Big Brother, I didn't, I..."
"You didn't? I think you have bad intentions!" The eldest senior brother didn't listen to his explanation at all and stabbed Zhang San with a sword.
Zhang San was so frightened that his face turned pale and he dodged quickly.
"Big Brother, you really misunderstood Zhang San. He just..."
"Shut up!" the eldest brother shouted angrily, "Anyone who dares to plead for him again will be punished along with him!"
Just as Zhang San was about to be stabbed by the eldest senior brother's sword, Chen Yu suddenly jumped out from the bushes and grabbed the eldest senior brother's wrist.
"Stop!" Chen Yu shouted loudly.
Everyone was stunned, looking at Chen Yu who suddenly appeared in surprise. They hadn't noticed anyone hiding in the bushes just now.
"Who are you?" The eldest senior brother glared at Chen Yu, "How dare you meddle in the affairs of our Tianjian Sect?"
Chen Yu took a look at the eldest senior brother. He was dressed in spotless white clothes and had an exquisitely carved sword hanging around his waist. He really looked like a disciple of the Tianjian Sect.
"My name is Chen Yu." Chen Yu said calmly, "I saw you bullying the weak, so I intervened to stop you."
"Bullying the weak?" The eldest senior brother sneered, "What business is it of yours when we, the Heavenly Sword Sect, discipline our disciples?"
"Why is it none of my business?" Chen Yu asked, "Are you guys from the Tianjian Sect allowed to bully others, and no one else is allowed to intervene?"
"You..." The eldest senior brother was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Chen Yu.
"Little brother, it's best if you don't interfere in the affairs of our Tianjian Sect."
The handsome man next to him came forward and tried to persuade him.
Chen Yu glanced at him. This guy seemed quite kind.
"I don't care whether you are from the Heaven Sword Sect or the Earth Sword Sect. Bullying is wrong."
"Boy, you are looking for death!" The eldest brother was angry. He swung hard, trying to break free from Chen Yu's restraints.
Chen Yu didn't move at all. He exerted a little force on his hand, and the eldest senior brother suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"You..." The eldest brother's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that this thin-looking guy had so much strength.
"What do you mean?" Chen Yu applied more force to his hands, causing the eldest senior brother to grimace in pain. "With your limited ability, you still want to teach others a lesson?"
The Tianjian Sect disciples around were all dumbfounded. Their eldest senior brother was actually subdued by an unknown kid!
"Let go of Senior Brother!" A burly disciple shouted, drew out his sword and slashed towards Chen Yu.
Without even turning his head, Chen Yu slapped the disciple on the chest with his backhand. The disciple immediately flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out blood.
"Is there anyone else who refuses to accept?" Chen Yu glanced at the Tianjian Sect disciples around him with a cold tone.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.
The handsome man quickly said, "Little brother, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Don't use violence."
Chen Yu released the senior brother's wrist. "I didn't want to do anything, but you guys started it first."
The eldest senior brother rubbed his wrist, his face gloomy. "Boy, you dare to hurt our Tianjian Sect disciples? You are dead!"
"Really?" Chen Yu sneered, "I want to see how powerful your Tianjian Sect is."
"You..." The eldest senior brother was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Brother, I think you should take care of yourself first." Chen Yu pointed at the fallen sword on the ground. "If you can't even hold a sword steadily, how can you teach others a lesson?"
The eldest brother's face turned pale and blue. He bent down to pick up the sword, pointed at Chen Yu and said, "Boy, do you dare to compete with me?"
"Competition?" Chen Yu smiled. "Okay, how do you want to compete?"
"Let's compete in swordsmanship," said the eldest brother. "Whoever loses will kowtow and admit his mistake."
"Kowtow and admit your mistake?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "Isn't the stakes a bit too high?"
"What? Are you scared?" the eldest brother provoked.
"Afraid?" Chen Yu laughed, "When have I, Chen Yu, ever been afraid?
However, kowtow and admit mistakes is too boring, why don't we change the bet."
"What do you want to change the bet?" asked the eldest brother.
Chen Yu rolled his eyes and pointed at the storage bag on the eldest brother's waist and said, "How about betting on your storage bag?"
The eldest brother hesitated for a moment. His storage bag was filled with many valuables, and he felt reluctant to gamble them away.
"What? You don't dare to gamble?" Chen Yu continued to provoke.
"Who said I don't dare to gamble!" The eldest brother gritted his teeth and said, "Let's gamble!"
"Okay, great!" Chen Yu clapped his hands, "Let's get started."
The eldest brother took a deep breath and took a stance. "Boy, take this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu stood there motionless until the eldest senior brother's sword was about to pierce him, then he suddenly attacked.
He stretched out two fingers and clamped the eldest brother's sword.
"What?!" The eldest senior brother was shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Yu could hold his sword with just two fingers.
Chen Yu smiled slightly. "With this little bit of skill, you still want to compete with me?"
He exerted force with his hands, and the eldest senior brother's sword immediately broke into two pieces.
"This..." The eldest senior brother was completely dumbfounded. The sword in his hand was made of thousand-year-old cold iron, which could cut through iron like mud, but Chen Yu broke it with just two fingers!
Chen Yu kicked the eldest senior brother in the stomach, and the eldest senior brother flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"Who else wants to compete with me?" Chen Yu glanced at the disciples of Tianjian Sect around him and said in a domineering tone.
Everyone was silent, no one dared to say a word.
The handsome man quickly helped the eldest brother up. "Elder brother, are you okay?"
The eldest brother clutched his stomach, his face pale. "I... I'm fine."
He looked at Chen Yu with fear in his eyes. He could never have imagined that this ordinary-looking guy could possess such terrifying strength.
Chen Yu walked up to the eldest senior brother and held out his hand. "Where's the storage bag?"
The eldest brother gritted his teeth and reluctantly handed the storage bag to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu took the storage bag, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, a great harvest."
He turned to Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan and said, "Let's go."
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan followed Chen Yu and left the open space.
The disciples of Tianjian Sect looked at Chen Yu's departing back, looking at each other in confusion, unable to recover for a long time.
Chen Yu was playing with the storage bag in his hand. This was the first time he had won a trophy from someone else, and he felt indescribably happy.
"Qingxue, Ruyan, let's find a place to count the spoils."
Chen Yu said this with a smile, and continued to walk along the stream with the two girls.
"I'm telling you, why do you always like to cause trouble?" Lin Qingxue followed behind Chen Yu, with a hint of blame in her tone, but her eyes were full of doting.
Liu Ruyan covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I think Chen Yu saw injustice and came to the aid of others. He is a real hero."
Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to call myself a hero. I just can't stand that guy bullying the weak."
"Just brag." Lin Qingxue rolled her eyes at him. "I see you're itching to try out the power of your new technique, right?"
Chen Yu chuckled and did not deny it.
After walking a short distance, they came to a valley with beautiful mountains and clear water.
The valley is shaded by green trees, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and a crystal clear stream meanders through it, making it feel like a paradise.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Yes, it's a great place to practice." Lin Qingxue also nodded.
"In that case, let's rest here and count the spoils."
Chen Yu suggested.
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan naturally had no objection.
They found a flat piece of grass by the stream and sat down on it.
Chen Yu couldn't wait to open the storage bag, only to see that it was filled with all kinds of things.
There are spiritual stones, elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, and even some rare spiritual herbs and minerals.
"Wow, so many treasures!" Liu Ruyan's eyes widened. "The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect are truly wealthy."
Lin Qingxue was also a little surprised. Although she came from a prominent family, she had never seen so many good things.
Chen Yu picked up a top-grade spirit stone, played with it in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
