Chapter 258: Chapter 123: Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber Breaking Limit! A Storm Is Coming to Cyan Yang Ancient City

Deng Rong shot Chen Xuan a grateful look, only to be struck by the whip again. He felt so wronged that tears welled up in his eyes.

Though his master had always been strict, he had never beaten them like this. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

’What in the world is going on?’

At this point, Chu Fan could no longer stand by and watch. He stepped forward to mediate. "Master Wang, please calm down. Let bygones be bygones. I truly don’t hold any grudges, so there’s no need to be this angry."

The man being beaten, Deng Rong, was the very person who had kicked him out of the Mountain Opening Boxing Hall.

This was the very reason Wang Kaishan was so furious.

"Huh? You..."

Deng Rong looked at Chu Fan and blinked. "Have we met somewhere before?"

The moment those words left his mouth, Wang Kaishan, who had just managed to calm down, erupted in fury once more.

He swung a backhanded slap at Deng Rong!

He was both anxious and furious. ’What a memory! You can’t even recognize the person you kicked out. No wonder you’ll never amount to anything!’

"CLACK!"

The moment he swung his hand, Chu Fan’s right hand clamped down on it.

It wouldn’t budge an inch!

"This... it’s like a Vajra Iron Fist!"

Feeling the power in Chu Fan’s grip, Wang Kaishan was too stunned to speak.

Such power! Even a Martial Artist who had achieved Mortal Transformation might not possess such immense force!

’If only I hadn’t missed out on him back then...’

Deng Rong stared blankly at the scene, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

’A kid younger than him could actually block our master’s move?’

’And based on what he said, it sounds like there’s some bad blood between us?’

’But I don’t even know the guy!’

After returning, Chu Fan had spent all his time cultivating at home. He also didn’t dare wander around the Seven Stars Gang’s territory with the Cyan Snake Demon, so the disciples of the Mountain Opening Boxing Hall didn’t recognize him.

Deng Rong felt the young man before him looked more and more familiar, yet he couldn’t for the life of him recall where they had met.

"Master Wang, please calm down," Chu Fan urged again.

Wang Kaishan heaved a long sigh, lowered his arm, and clasped his hands behind his back as he walked away.

In that moment, he seemed to have aged a decade.

He hadn’t just lost a potential disciple; he had likely missed the opportunity for his Martial Arts Hall to rise to greatness. This was a regret he would probably carry for the rest of his life.

Even after the beating, Deng Rong still had no idea why he had been hit.

He couldn’t understand how he had disappointed his master so deeply, especially when he felt he was trying so hard...

He gave Chu Fan a grateful nod and hurried out after his master.

Chen Xuan watched Wang Kaishan’s retreating figure and sighed as well.

He had previously boasted to Wang Kaishan about Chu Fan, so seeing him in this state made him feel a little awkward.

Chen Xuan gently patted Chu Fan’s shoulder. "When you have a moment, you should drop by the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall. Your master’s wife hears me talk about you all the time and is very eager to meet you."

"Yes, Teacher!" Chu Fan nodded respectfully.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, cast a satisfied glance at Chu Fan and Zhao Tianxing, and then turned to leave.

Just then, a Cao Clan Elder sidled up to him and asked in a low voice, "Chu Fan, what did you think of that young lady who was sitting in the reception hall earlier?"

Chu Fan’s expression changed. He turned, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Elder Cao, you were the one yelling from behind earlier. You almost made me trip. I haven’t even settled that score with you yet..."

"Did I go too easy on you all last time? How dare you try to play matchmaker for me? Always stirring up trouble!"

Elder Cao hastily waved his hands. "You’ve misunderstood! We didn’t invite Miss Duan. She came on her own. She wanted to see what the man who refused the Duan Family’s marriage proposal looks like."

Chu Fan was taken aback. "The girl outside... that’s Duan Qingling?"

Another elder, this one from the Li Clan, nodded eagerly. "The very same. Duan Qingling of the Duan Family... To be frank, her talent is nowhere near yours."

"But if you find her suitable, we will do everything in our power to make this match happen."

Chu Fan stared at the two elders, speechless.

’Don’t these old men have anything better to do than meddle in my affairs all day?’

He waved his hand dismissively, not bothering to deal with them.

He had come here to ask Cao Feng for a Cultivation Technique to break through to the Mortal Transformation realm.

Now that he had achieved Breaking Limit with both the Nine Blood Soul Blades and the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber, it was time to shift his focus to achieving Mortal Transformation.
