Chapter 107: Capturing a Sparrow! (1/2)
Everyone was flabbergasted. They didn’t dare to believe their eyes.
Even Ye Yinping’s eyebrows twitched subconsciously, and a sliver of astonishment flashed across her eyes.
She knew very well how strong Wang Chong was. At the most, he was only at Origin Energy Tier 6.
On the other hand, Xu Xuan was at Origin Energy Tier 7, and he possessed extraordinary martial arts to pair with it.
Furthermore, he often crossed blows with experts. Regardless of whether it was experience, discernment, reaction speed, strength, or agility, Xu Xuan was above his peers. This was also the reason why Ye Yinping chose him to do the job.
Not to mention, the Duke of Xu Residence possessed the ‘Ferocious Elephant Technique’.
Yet, with a single blow, he was easily subdued by Wang Chong.
Xu Xuan’s reaction speed and adaptability to sudden situations were far from mediocre. Even if someone were to strike him from above, he was capable of reacting in the shortest time possible to deflect the move or even counterattack.
Nevertheless, Xu Xuan fell so ‘easily’.
That could only mean one thing. Wang Chong’s speed, reaction, and grasp over timing were above Xu Xuan!
“I have underestimated him!”
Ye Yinping frowned. She realized that she has misjudged Wang Chong.
“However, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s weak. Wait until he catches up with me then will we talk about it!”
Ye Yinping harrumphed contemptuously as though a proud peacock before turning around to leave. Her cultivation realm has already transcended Origin Energy realm, and to her, Wang Chong’s cultivation was only barely passable.
She, Ye Yinping, would never submit to a weakling.
…
“Isn’t it time for you to hand the Bone Forging Pill over?”
Having defeated Xu Xuan, Wang Chong walked over, stretched out his hand, and spoke curtly to the eldest son of the Xu Clan, Xu Jing.
“Hmph! Don’t you get gleeful, you were just lucky this time!”
Xu Jing replied with a steeled face. He would never believe that Wang Chong was capable of defeating Xu Xuan in a straightforward battle. In his view, it was merely luck.
“It’s not up to you to determine whether it is luck or not. You should just hand over my pill!”
Wang Chong spouted coldly.
If not for the Bone Forging Pill, he would have never wasted his efforts on this.
Xu Jing was reluctant to give him the box, but before the gazes of such a huge crowd, and not to mention, they were in the Four Quarters Embassy, he could only unwillingly hand it over.
“You brat, well done!”
A familiar voice echoed from behind. Wang Zhu Yan walked over with a bright smile.
“Cousin!”
Wang Chong called.
“I almost thought that you would lose!”
Wang Zhu Yan smiled with an expression saying that ‘seems like I have underestimated you in the past’.
“How is that possible? Do you think that I will lose to that lad?”
Lifting his head, Wang Chong glanced at Xu Xuan, who was currently surrounded by the other offsprings of the Xu Clan. The group massaged Xu Xuan frantically in an attempt to alleviate his condition.
“Alright, stop boasting! How can I, as your Second Sister, not know how much weight you carry?”
Wang Zhu Yan reprimanded with a smile. Until now, she still found it hard to believe that Wang Chong could suddenly become so powerful. In her view, a huge reason for Xu Xuan’s defeat was due to luck.
Wang Chong simply smiled in response. It was also good for cousin and the others to think that it was luck, or his sudden growth may scare them.
After chatting with his cousin for a while, Wang Chong impatiently looked for a remote area and started cultivating.
The ‘Bone Forging Pill’ was an extremely valuable commodity, and such resources were severely lacking in the market.
Wang Chong wasn’t fated with such pills in his previous life, so it was the first time he obtained a Bone Forging Pill.
An enhancement in one’s root bone would result in a qualitative rise in one’s strength. If Wang Chong could reach the level of Tiger Bone, everything would be completely different.
While it was already good that Wang Chong won the recognition of Elder Ye, Duke of Hu, and the others, his individual strength would also play a huge part in forming the opinion that others’ have of him. This was also the main reason why Wang Chong accepted Xu Xuan’s challenge.
If he had lost today, the offsprings of those elders might look down on him. If so, everything would be vastly different…
Pah!
Wang Chong opened the purple box, and a rich smell of medicine gushed into his nose. Within the purple box was a round pill around the size of a thumb. Its surface was as smooth as jade, and light reflected off its surface.
“So this is the Bone Forging Pill!”
A tinge of astonishment flashed across Wang Chong’s eyes. This pill was translucent, and with a single glance, it felt incredibly pure. It was no wonder why it would possess the tremendous ability of altering one’s root bone.
That elder of the Xu Clan was definitely an incredible alchemist!
Cultivating one’s root bone was an extremely difficult job, and the Bone Forging Pill of the Xu Clan was one of the very few items that Wang Chong knew could alter a person’s root bone.
Gulu!
With his back against the fake hill, Wang Chong sat cross-legged on the ground and swallowed the Bone Forging Pill. There were Imperial Army members patrolling the Four Quarters Embassy, and not a single movement, even that of a fly, could escape their notice.
Wang Chong didn’t need to worry that anyone would make a move on him while he was cultivating.
Weng!
Swallowing the pill, a powerful surge of medicinal energy immediately rose from Wang Chong’s stomach. Although this medicinal energy was gentle, it was extremely strong. As though a hurricane, it spread from Wang Chong’s stomach to his entire body.
Pilipala!
The powerful medicinal energy induced changes to Wang Chong’s bones, creating light popping sounds in his bone joints.
From the joints, the energy slowly moved on to nourish the most important bone in Wang Chong’s body, his spinal cord!
