C13 Home Invitation
In the living room of the front yard in General's Mansion.
Two cups of hot tea were still steaming on the table, giving off a light fragrance.
"Please take a rest. The Patriarch and Young Master Hen will be here soon." A young maid greeted them politely.
Li Gu smiled, and nodded his head as a signal.
Behind Li Gu was an old man in his fifties, who was the external affairs staff responsible for the Difeng Martial Mansion examination.
Not long after, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the door.
Li Gu frowned, then two figures appeared at the main door of the hall.
"Patriarch!"
"Young Master Hen!"
Several maids bowed.
Long Zhan waved his hands, and his gaze directly swept past Li Gu and Yue Shan.
"Hehe, Patriarch Long, I came abruptly, I hope I didn't disturb your family." Without letting Long Zhan speak, Li Gu was the first to clasp his hands together, revealing a gentle smile.
Li Gu's attitude made Long Zhan a little surprised, and he immediately replied: "Your coming did me a great honor. May I have your grant instruction, Mentor Li Gu?"
"You flattered me, yesterday, you were so magnanimous that I couldn't help but admire you."
Li Gu's tone did not contain the slightest hint of sarcasm.
From the look in Li Gu's eyes, Long Zhan could tell that there was indeed admiration within them.
Long Zhan shook his head, and invited the two to sit, and answered: "I've let the two of you down with yesterday's incident. Your Excellency hasn't answered the question that I just asked you. "
Li Gu laughed, and turned his attention to Chu Hen.
"I, Li, have come today for your noble son."
"Oh?"
Long Zhan and Chu Hen were startled, following that, the old man behind Li Gu walked forward, and retrieved a gold badge for Chu Hen.
"Young Master Chu, you left in such a hurry yesterday that you forgot to take this."
The gold emblem was especially exquisite. In the center, the word 'Di Feng' flashed with a sharp light.
This was the student emblem of the Difeng Martial Mansion.
"This is?" Chu Hen revealed a surprised expression.
"Haha, it was agreed yesterday. This year, the three most powerful geniuses in Huoyan City will be exempted from the examination and directly become my Difeng Martial Mansion's students. Furthermore, Young Master Chu and Liu Xiao spoke first, so since you have defeated Liu Xiao, this badge naturally belongs to you. Congratulations on becoming a member of Difeng Martial Mansion. "
The old man said with a smile on his face.
With that said, Long Zhan immediately understood his intentions.
Based on his performance yesterday, he had long won Li Gu's recognition. As the leader in the recruitment, Li Gu's first mission was to recruit high-quality talent for the Difeng Martial Mansion.
Towards a talent like Chu Hen, Li Gu would naturally not miss it.
Chu Hen couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Long Zhan. Just a moment ago, the two were still discussing about how to let Chu Hen go to the Imperial Capital to participate in the examination of other higher institutions.
Not long after, the Mentor of Difeng Martial Mansion personally paid a visit.
Long Zhan didn't say anything. He just looked at Chu Hen to tell him to decide for himself.
Speaking of which, with the status of Difeng Martial Mansion in the Holy Star Dynasty, Li Gu being willing to come personally was enough to show their sincerity. Chu Hen could not think of even one reason to reject this invitation, then he received the badge with both hands.
"Thank you, Mentors!"
"You're welcome."
A relaxed smile appeared on Li Gu's face. Actually, he was worried that Chu Hen would reject him, since, with Chu Hen's innate talent, none of the high institutions would refuse to open their doors to him. Therefore, Chu Hen had many choices in his hands.
Fortunately, Chu Hen nodded in acceptance.
"Just a small gift. Wish you like it."
With that, Li Gu took out a black box and gave it to Chu Hen.
Chu Hen cupped his fists, "Thank you for your good intentions, Mentor Li Gu. But I didn't do anything to deserve this.
"Hehe, it's fine. It's just a little worthless thing. Just accept it."
Soon after, Li Gu stood up and placed the box in Chu Hen's hands.
"All right, I'll take it. Thanks a lot, Mentor Li Gu."
"You're welcome!"
Li Gu then looked at Long Zhan and laughed, "I still have other matters to attend to, so I can't stay here for long. After a month, Patriarch Long can arrange for your son to head to the Imperial Capital. Just take the badge to Difeng Martial Mansion and directly make a registration."
Long Zhan nodded solemnly: "Sorry for troubling you, Mentor Li Gu."
"Hehe, you're too courteous!"
After giving a few simple instructions, Li Gu and the old man left together.
When the two of them left, Chu Hen opened the box that Li Gu gifted him. In the next moment, the dazzling light filled his eyes, and he saw a pile of Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones inside the box. With the judgement of a causal sight, there were about thirty odd Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.
More than thirty Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.
This was definitely not a small amount of wealth to the current Chu Hen.
After all, normally, he could only receive two Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones a month.
"Difeng Martial Mansion is indeed generous!"
Even Long Zhan, who was at the side, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Thirty odd Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone were enough for Chu Hen to open his remaining two Martial Veins. And there would be even some left.
This was enough to show how much Li Gu valued Chu Hen.
Chu Hen's eyes flashed with a bright light, he continued, "Uncle Zhan, since I have all these Elemental Crystal Stones, then the twenty Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones you gave me earlier...."
"You keep them." Long Zhan interrupted, "In a month's time, you will have to go to the Imperial Capital, and there will definitely be places where you will need the Elemental Crystal Stone."
Chu Hen nodded his head, and did not insist any more.
There was still a month left, Difeng Martial Mansion! Chu Hen clenched his fists, and his eyes shone with anticipation.
Time flew by quickly!
Heat on the topic about the assessment of Huoyan City gradually began to wane.
The young students who successfully passed the assessment had a happy and relaxed time, and they were preparing to set off on their journey to the Difeng Martial Mansion for registration. As for those who failed the examination, they had already set foot on the road and walked towards the Imperial Capital to participate in the recruitment examination set by other High-Class Martial Mansions.
Some of the merchants who came and went through the Huoyan City and the Imperial Capital would also bring various about the Imperial Capital.
One strong geniuse had come out of a certain institution, or the gates to certain High-Class Martial Mansions had almost been squeezed to bursting by the participating students. At this time of the year, the entire Holy Star Dynasty was always the most lively.
In a spacious courtyard.
In this period of time, Chu Hen had basically never stepped out of the General's Mansion gate.
He was focused on his training in most of time, .
"Buzz buzz!"
A slightly restless force constantly flowed through Chu Hen's body. Chu Hen sat upright on a round stage in the center of the training grounds. Threads of golden spirit energy surrounded his body, like a thin layer of silk.
At the feet of Chu Hen, a pile of waste of the Elemental Crystal Stones were scattered.
The most astonishing thing was that in the area around Chu Hen's lower abdomen, there was actually a purple colored and a black colored cyclone. The two cyclones were chasing each other like two special Taiji yin and yang fish.
Compared to when he had first started, the current Chu Hen was already able to skillfully use the power of the Holy Body of Demon Eye and the initial stages of the Body of Chaos's bloodline.
With the help of the power from the two bloodlines, Chu Hen's physique had been strengthened in many aspects.
"Buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, the violent energy fluctuations became even more turbulent.
In the next moment, along with a burst of powerful aura, the two cyclones that were chasing each other suddenly burst out from Chu Hen's lower abdomen, and an invisible wave of air spread out in all directions with Chu Hen as the center, like an autumn wind sweeping through fallen leaves, causing the dust and sand on the ground to be directly blown away.
"Buzz!"
The chaotic wave of air lasted for around ten minutes before Chu Hen slowly opened his eyes.
"I've finally broken through the eighth Martial Vein!"
Rank eight of Vein Opening Stage!
To be able to break through rank eight of the Vein Opening Stage in such a short period of time, Chu Hen was pleasantly surprised. However, in the past few days, Chu Hen had also used up six or seven Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Chu Hen raised his eyebrows, and his eyes lit up. The intense Strength of True Essence quickly converged towards his right palm, then he reached out with a single hand, and struck out with a palm.
"Great Falls Mountain Destroyer Palm!"
Along with Chu Hen's hidden shout, a surging palm energy like a shock wave swept out in front of him. The powerful palm energy whistled down and scraped away a thick layer of dirt from the ground. The fallen branches and leaves were shattered, and with a" peng "sound, a large tree a dozen meters away was blown apart.
Dust flew everywhere, and wood chips flew everywhere!
The chaotic air current seemed to have created a strong gust of wind.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Hen revealed a satisfied smile.
"The Waterfall Destroying Mountain Palm is a kind of Martial Arts of the 'Essence Mastering Stage rank'. With my Cultivation at rank eight of the Vein Opening Stage, I can at most unleash fifty percent of its destructive power!"
Chu Hen muttered to himself.
"However, the Holy Body of Demon Eye has the effect of increasing the power of the Martial Arts, so if I use the Strength of Demonic Eye, I will be able to achieve eighty percent of its lethality."
Thinking about it, Chu Hen couldn't help but remember the words that Li Wushang said at the Qiushan Divine Mountain. Not long from now, he would be able to break through to the 'One Star Demon Eye'. At that time, the 'Demon Eye' would be bestowed with a new Pupil Arts called 'Power of Destruction'.
"Power of destruction!"
Chu Hen clenched his fists tightly, a look of anticipation flowing out of his face, what kind of powerful killing move would that be?
And in a few days, he would be preparing to head to the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital of Holy Star Dynasty, that was the true cradle of geniuses, the gathering place of all sorts of geniuses that were rarely seen in hundreds of years. At that time, these geniuses who were strong like dragons and tigers would get together and the battles would also rise between them, which was absolutely not something that Huoyan City could compare with.
Chu Hen heaved a sigh of relief, raising his head and looked at the sky. His star-like eyes pierced through the layers of white clouds, straight into the deep blue expanse of the Nine Clouds Heavenly Vault.
