C4 Let Her Go!

"Jiang Yuan? What brings you here?"

Li He surveyed the throng of people outside his door without a hint of fear.

Jiang Yuan's gaze was piercing as he fixed his eyes on Lee Chuchu beside Li He and declared in a stern voice, "I'm here for two reasons only: to divorce and to warn."

"I am now divorcing the esteemed Miss of the Lee Family—Lee Chuchu!"

With those words, Jiang Yuan's hand sprang into action. He produced a brush and ink, and with strokes as fluid as a dragon and phoenix in flight, he filled the entire sheet of paper.

He then drew Jiang Wenn's treasured sword, sliced his finger, and pressed his bloodied print onto the document.

"Divorced... Divorced?"

The deed was done before Li He could even process what was happening.

"Here's the divorce decree! Take it!"

Jiang Yuan tossed it disdainfully at the entrance to the Lee Family estate.

His eyes turned frosty as he delivered his message, each word deliberate and firm: "And for my second point, a word of advice for the Lee Family: within a year, I will return to obliterate your entire clan!"

Li He's anger flared at the audacious threat made in his own home, as if a slap to his face. He bellowed, "Destroy the Lee Family? Your arrogance knows no bounds!"

"Are you afraid of me, a so-called worthless man?"

Jiang Yuan scoffed, his face etched with scorn.

Seeing Jiang Yuan belittle himself, Lee Chuchu gently shook Li He's shoulder and murmured, "Father, he's nothing but trash, his words are empty. Don't let it anger you."

Li He's brow creased with concern. "But he's divorced you, what about your reputation..."

Lee Chuchu smirked dismissively, her understanding clear and cold. "No matter, Father. We'll soon leave Sky Sun City. Once we're gone, this will be forgotten. Let's end this engagement swiftly and rid ourselves of these troubles, lest every Tom, Dick, and Harry comes knocking."

Li He nodded in agreement. "As you wish."

"Jiang Yuan, I accept this divorce decree. Henceforth, we have no further obligations to each other! As for this Spirit Gathering Pill, consider it a parting gift for you, you worthless thing."

Lee Chuchu picked up the letter from the ground with an air of detachment and flicked a wooden box out of it.

Jiang Yuan casually caught the wooden box tossed by Lee Chuchu and chuckled, "Great! That's my ex-wife for you—always straightforward!"

Lee Chuchu's face subtly shifted at his words, yet she held her tongue. She knew she wasn't in the right on this matter and couldn't shake a twinge of guilt.

"See you in a year, then!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes blazed with renewed fervor as he clenched his fists, the self-assurance of the past year resurfacing. The onlookers were taken aback by his demeanor. Lee Chuchu herself felt an unexpected surge of concern—she feared this prodigy might once again rise to legendary status.

"Has the pride of Tianyang Town made his comeback?"

"He's divorcing Miss Li just like that!?"

"This so-called failure is actually proving his mettle, daring to defy the Lee Family! I've heard they're even settling in the Great Martial Emperor City now!"

The crowd was visibly impressed by Jiang Yuan, buzzing with astonishment at the unfolding scene. They were unaware of their own role in the events; without the overwhelming presence of hundreds, the Lee Family might have resorted to far crueler tactics.

Jiang Yuan spun on his heel and strode away from the Lee Family's gates.

His immediate goal was clear: to gain strength as quickly as possible.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan retrieved the Spirit Gathering Pill from the wooden box and swallowed it.

"Ding... Consuming the Yellow Rank pill, your foundational alchemy training progresses, alchemy level increases by one, and you've acquired the perfect Spirit Gathering Pill formula."

"Ding... Cultivation progress has increased; the host has advanced to a Fighter, now at the level of a 1-star Fighter."

"Ding... Detecting remnants of Martial Pulse in the host's body, initiating automatic repair and enhancement of Martial Pulse..."

"Ding... Repair complete, Martial Pulse is now at Heaven Rank."

My Martial Pulse has returned!

A year ago, his greatest pride was his Martial Pulse—Heaven Rank Martial Pulse!

The humiliation he endured this past year was mostly due to the loss of his Martial Pulse!

Jiang Yuan could once again feel the vigorous pulsation at his dantian and the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth rushing into his Martial Pulse, filling him with an extraordinary thrill.
