C1 Young jiang chen

At the Jiang family training field.

The autumn wind suddenly turned, the fallen leaves rustled in the breeze, a trace of chilling wind blew across the world. The late autumn was about to pass, and winter was just around the corner.

However, in this cold weather, there was a figure sitting cross-legged in the courtyard of the Jiang family training field.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old and his build was thin and weak. At this moment, he had his eyes closed tightly and he was motionless; it was hard to even breathe, as if he was dead. His frail body was covered with leaves and grass.

The sun returned to the west mountains and the sun rose. Several days passed in the blink of an eye, but this youth still sat there cross-legged, neither eating nor drinking. There was no reaction at all, as if he had completely lost all contact with the outside world.

After an unknown period of time, with the sound of footsteps breaking, a young girl wearing a white dress came to the side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds alone.

After a long time, the girl sighed lightly and muttered to herself: "Big Brother, it's almost been three years. Just how long do you need to sleep like this before you wake up? The Clan Assembly will be in a month's time. Xue Er doesn't want to see big brother being chased out of the clan."

The young girl's name was Jiang Xue, and she was a member of the Jiang family. The young man standing motionlessly in the training field was her brother, Jiang Chen.

Jiang Xue was very worried about her elder brother right now, and her tone was full of worry.

His brother had been a peerless genius of the Jiang family since birth, and without any surprises, the position of head of the Jiang family clan would belong to him in the future. But who would have thought that such a sudden change would occur? This changed everything.

Three years ago, Jiang Wuhai had mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and Jiang Chen's martial arts skills had been crippled by a mysterious person while he was out. His dantian, Qi Sea, had been destroyed and he had become a cripple since then.

When they learned that their elder brother had become a cripple, the Jiang family clan members who had once tried to curry favor with their elder brother changed expressions. Not only were they discussing in private, they were even ridiculing him in front of their elder brother.

His elder brother couldn't bear being humiliated like this, so he went into seclusion in the martial arts arena and meditated for nearly three years.

Jiang Xue didn't know when her brother woke up, but from the body he was sitting in, he could feel that after three years of closed door cultivation, his brother had no way of making any progress, because the aura around him was completely gone.

Jiang Xue mumbled a few sentences. Seeing that Jiang Chen was still unresponsive as usual, a hint of disappointment surfaced on Jiang Xue's innocent face. She turned around and left, her figure appearing quite lonely.

After Jiang Xue left, the Martial Arts Practice Grounds became quiet again, leaving behind only a lonely figure sitting cross-legged. A few days later, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly gathered, and then a cold wind blew.

In the blizzard, a few Jiang family members were rushing past the martial ring. When they saw Jiang Chen's figure on the ring, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, full of mockery.

"Look, Jiang Chen has yet to wake up. Haha, he's been sitting here for almost three years! In my opinion, he must be dead!"

"I do not know whether he will die or not, but even if he doesn't, he will likely still be a piece of trash after waking up. He will only be a disgrace to the world."

"Alright, let's go, let's go. What's so good about a piece of trash? Since the wind and snow are so heavy, we should hurry back to our room. Be careful or else we might catch a cold."

A few of the Jiang family members mocked Jiang Chen before turning around and leaving with satisfaction. To them, being able to humiliate a former genius of the Jiang family was a very refreshing thing to do.

Jiang Chen had no reaction to these insults. He simply sat there like a corpse, cross-legged.

After a month, Jiang Chen hadn't moved from the training field. However, the leaves and grass around him had long since rotted away, and his entire body was covered in a thick layer of snow.

Light footsteps sounded as Jiang Xue came forward again, but this time, Jiang Xue's face was covered in tears. She looked at Jiang Chen with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother, the annual family meeting will be in three days. Xue'er, please wake up, if you don't wake up soon, I'm afraid the family will throw you out." "Wuu, wuu, big brother."

Jiang Xue couldn't stop her tears from rolling down her face, but Jiang Chen didn't react at all. Jiang Xue despaired completely when she saw this scene. She finally stopped wasting her energy and turned to run away, crying loudly.

However, this time, Jiang Xue didn't notice that Jiang Chen's ears seemed to tremble slightly when he heard her crying. The sounds of ice shattering could faintly be heard in the air, and traces of heat also quietly rose from Jiang Chen's body.

...

Three days later.

Today was the annual meeting of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family's entire household was covered in green and red. The young generation of the Jiang family were gathered together, and some of them were talking and laughing as they headed to the martial arts training field. Several other large families were also present, such as the Xin, Lu, and Situ families, giving face to the Jiang family.

Firstly, it would be beneficial for the division of cultivation resources within the clan. Secondly, it would allow the clan to call themselves juniors, and appearing in front of all the other members of the great clans was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

When the group arrived at the training field, the younger generation of the Jiang family stood in line to take their test. As for the representatives from the other large families, they saw the snow-covered figure at the corner of the training field and couldn't help but have a playful expression on their faces.

When this scene fell into the eyes of the Jiang family members, it immediately made the Jiang family elder's brow furrow. He glared at Jiang Chen's figure in the ring and cursed him for making a fool of himself in his heart.

As for the younger generation of the Jiang family, when they saw that Jiang Chen's figure was still the same as ever and hadn't moved at all, they couldn't help but mumble in low voices and mock him.

Jiang Lin was a member of the younger generation in the Jiang family. His cultivation was ordinary and his talent was ordinary. However, his father was an elder of the Jiang family, so Jiang Lin's status in the Jiang family rose greatly.

Jiang Lin had once been extremely jealous of Jiang Chen's potential and had been unable to sleep at night. Therefore, after Jiang Chen had become a cripple, Jiang Lin could be considered the group of people who loved him the most. He also paid special attention to Jiang Chen and his sister's humiliation.

When he saw this scene, Jiang Lin stood in the crowd and started laughing coldly. Afterwards, Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and had a bad idea. He walked out of the crowd and walked towards Jiang Chen, planning on teasing him in public.

Jiang Lin's attitude was clear. When he saw this scene, the rest of the Jiang family members remained silent. The Jiang family elders also tacitly agreed.

"Jiang Lin, what are you planning to do?" Jiang Xue knew things were not going well. She rushed down the stage with an anxious expression and blocked the path between Jiang Lin and Jiang Chen, asking angrily.

"Damned girl, you dare to speak to me like that without considering the size of the upper class?" Ever since Jiang Wu Hai had disappeared and Jiang Chen had become a cripple, Jiang Xue had no status at all in the Jiang family. Coupled with Jiang Xue's soft personality, she was the type of family that no one dared to make a fuss about.

"I don't care. No one is allowed to touch my brother." Jiang Xue's attitude was firm. For the first time, her weak character became stubborn and refused to give in.

Upon hearing Jiang Xue's words, Jiang Lin immediately shut his mouth and rushed forward with a cold expression. Unfortunately, although Jiang Xue's attitude was firm, she could not endure her delicate body.

Jiang Xue's eyes turned red as she looked at Jiang Lin's back. A trace of tears flowed down her face as she silently cursed herself in her heart. Her expression was one of helplessness and bewilderment.

But who would've thought that at the moment Jiang Lin's palm was about to touch Jiang Chen's body, Jiang Chen's eyes, which had been tightly shut for three years, suddenly opened. A boundless, fierce light appeared within them.

"You …" Jiang Lin was frightened by this sudden scene. His hand landed on Jiang Chen's body in panic, and in the next moment, Jiang Lin felt a rebound force from Jiang Chen's body. He couldn't help but let out a scream, and his body was sent flying before crashing to the ground.

Whoosh. The crowd could not help but burst into an uproar, their expressions incomparably shocked.

No one had thought that such a scene would occur. No one could understand how Jiang Chen, a cripple who had crippled his dantian and Qi Sea, could become so powerful after three years of meditation. He was able to use the strength of his body to send others flying.

Nearby, Jiang Xue was looking at Jiang Chen with disbelief. Jiang Chen opened his eyes and looked at his sister without looking at the others.

Their eyes met, and in the next moment, Jiang Xue finally regained her senses. A look of joy appeared on her face, and she was about to leap into Jiang Chen's arms, but when Jiang Xue moved, she was grabbed by a tall, thin Jiang family member.

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he immediately looked coldly at the tall and skinny Jiang family member. His gaze was full of bloodlust, like a demon from the underworld, devoid of any emotion.

When the Jiang family members holding onto Jiang Xue saw Jiang Chen's gaze, they were terrified and their faces turned pale. The clan member didn't dare meet Jiang Chen's gaze and subconsciously released his hand.

Jiang Xue didn't stop him and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She rushed to Jiang Chen in a few steps, ignoring the filth all over Jiang Chen's body as she threw herself into her brother's arms and started crying.

After three years of closed door cultivation, Jiang Xue had suffered quite a bit in the Jiang family. She had to worry about him day and night, and now that her brother had awoken, she could finally find someone to rely on.

Holding Jiang Xue, Jiang Chen's heart was also extremely guilty right now. He'd sat there for three years and felt extremely guilty towards his sister, but it was all worth it.

Jiang Chen was quite excited as he felt the changes within his body. Three years of hard work had not gone to waste, he had really succeeded.

All of this was quite a long story. Three years ago, his father Jiang Wuhai had disappeared, and Jiang Chen's martial arts skills had been crippled by a mysterious person. However, the heavens had helped him, and through a series of lucky coincidences, Jiang Chen had obtained something called the Demon God's Heart.
