“After we finish eating, I’ll take you to try it.”

Zhou Li withdrew his finger, staring silently at the fire in front of him,

“So why don’t we live up there?”

Chen Sheng was somewhat puzzled.

“If we want to practice near the waterfall, isn’t it more convenient to live up there?”

“I don’t want to go.”

Zhou Li said in a low voice. His voice seemed a bit deep.

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng remembered that since Zhou Li came here, he seemed a bit despondent, talking less than usual.

He had a vague sense of something.

But for such matters, it was better to wait for the person himself to speak up.

The two remained silent for a dozen minutes

Mild bubbling noises rose from the can.

The food was almost cooked.

Chen Sheng slightly moved the can away from the fire with his foot, allowing it to cool off a bit.

At this moment, Zhou Li spoke again.

“They are all dead.”

What?

Bewildered by the sudden remark, Chen Sheng was somewhat at a loss.

Zhou Li continued.

“Everyone in the village, including everyone in my house, is dead.”

“The only ones alive are me and that chubby guy who was driving. He was working abroad at that time, and I was handling some stuff for Eagle Body Sect in Quanjiang City.”

“How did they die?” Chen Sheng asked, puzzled.

Were they killed by a Heavenly Person or a Qi-sensor?

“They drowned.”

“When they died, some were cooking, some were sleeping, some were sunning at the door.”

“There were no signs of water anywhere around, and there was nothing unusual about the river.”

“But everyone in the village was mysteriously drowned alive, without even a chance to resist.”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng’s eyes widened, showing a look of astonishment.

No wonder he reacted this way.

Zhou Li’s words were just strikingly baffling.

“Have you investigated the cause?

Chen Sheng immediately questioned.

“Of course.”

Zhou Li chuckled sarcastically.

“I’ve been investigating for over a decade, my martial arts have gone to waste, and my body has failed.”

“But no matter how I searched, I couldn’t find any hint of any reason.”

“Since then, nothing of that sort has happened here again.”

He pointed at the woods.

“Since the people in the village died, no living thing has ever appeared in these woods.”

“No animals, no birds, not even a mosquito.” “Beyond that, I can’t find the slightest clue.” “Luckily, after so many years, I’ve let go.”

Zhou Li lifted his head and took a deep breath. “I’m someone who’s close to death too.” “After I die, I’ll be able to see them.”

“Isn’t it?”

Zhou Li gave Chen Sheng a smile.

However,

In his eyes, Chen Sheng could clearly see a trace of regret.

Clearly,

Zhou Li’s heart was not as accepting of this matter as he said. “When I get a chance, I’ll help you investigate.”

This incident was completely beyond Chen Sheng’s understanding. He couldn’t guarantee what he could find out.

He could only try his best when he gets a chance in the future.

It’s akin to returning a favor.

“Alright, alright.”

“If you really find out, I’ll bring my whole family to thank you.”

“No need.” Chen Sheng rolled his eyes, “you should just stay and wait for reincarnation.”

This old man really couldn’t keep up being serious for long.

Hearing this,

Zhou Li roared with laughter.

The laughter reverberated around the valley for a long time.

After the conversation,

Zhou Li’s mood was evidently a lot lighter.

A few minutes later,

The low temperature in the valley quickly cooled down the can.

Chen Sheng opened up each can.

Zhou Li ate two.

He ate seven.

After having a full meal,

The two tidied up a bit and prepared to set off.

“Let’s go to the top of the cliff first.”

“There are a lot of protruding stones above the waterfall, it’s better for you to start practicing from a higher point.”

“If I let you stand directly under the waterfall at the beginning, you’ll get washed away to your death.”

Zhou Li wrapped himself up tightly from head to toe, leaving no part exposed.

Behind him, he even carried an iron pot and some herbs.

Skeptical of his words, Chen Sheng expressed his doubt.

The nearby waterfall was quite high, Chen Sheng estimated it to be at least sixty or seventy meters tall.

If an ordinary person were to stand at the bottom, their bones would be shattered by the force and they would fall into the water, or they would be rushed to death by the immense pressure.

But he didn’t believe he would end up like an ordinary person.

With his now attributes, an ordinary person in front of him was just like a fragile plastic doll.

With a gentle force, they would be torn apart.

Therefore,

Chen Sheng wanted to try standing at the very bottom of the waterfall to see if he could withstand it.

If really not, he could start from higher up

However,

Before Chen Sheng could speak, Zhou Li seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts.

He laughed scornfully.

“Foolish boy.”

“Don’t be ignorant of your own limitations.”

“The water here is different from the water outside.”

“If you don’t take it easy, you’ll die.”

Chen Sheng may have his flaws.

But the best thing about him is that he takes advice.

Since Zhou Li said so, he did not insist.

However…..

“Old man, are you planning to stroll all the way up there?”

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow.

“What else, jump up there?”

“Hurry up and follo hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!”

Just as Zhou Li had taken a few steps forward, he felt himself lift off the ground.

He turned his head to look.

Chen Sheng was grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. “Old man, you know nothing about Strength.” Before Zhou Li could understand what he meant by that,

“Inhale – -”

The powerful sound of inhalation exploded next to his ear.

He could even feel the air around him rapidly converging into Chen Sheng’s mouth.

Crack Crack!

Chen Sheng’s height suddenly ballooned to one point nine meters in a blink of an eye, his body full of bulging muscles.

This was the first time Zhou Li saw Chen Sheng enter the Breathing Technique state.

The aggressive aura that hit him straight in the face caused goosebumps to continuously rise on his skin. “What are you Ahhh!”

Bang!!

Chen Sheng rocketed off the ground with a stomp of his foot and soared towards the cliff, carrying Zhou Li with him.

The scenery on both sides blurred in an instant.

The sudden high speed made Zhou Li’s stomach churn.

The words he had been about to speak were instantly transformed into screams echoing between the valley. Before he had a chance to adjust,

“Onward!”

Chen Sheng let out a long roar.

The muscles in his legs bulged.

To the point that the gravel beneath his feet even burst apart and flew away in an instant.

It seemed as if they were about to crash into the steep cliff face.

Yet, at that moment,

Chen Sheng lifted his foot and stepped!

Bang!

The protruding rocks on the cliff face instantaneously burst apart.

With the help of this force, the two of them shot upward again.

Just like that.

Chen Sheng carried Zhou Li, continually jumping upward along the cliff face.

For Chen Sheng, it was an unprecedentedly novel experience.

However…

The joys and sorrows of humans are not the same.

The joy of Chen Sheng was built upon the pain of Zhou Li.

“You little brat! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!!” Zhou Li’s screams were exceptionally plaintive.

Between the valleys,

Reckless laughter and terrified screams merged into one, like a symphony.

Quanjiang City.

Dormitory of the Wu’an Bureau.

Wu Ran, who had returned from the outside, opened the door.

“Master, I’m back.”

As soon as the words fell,

The door to Li Xingwu’s room swung directly open.

“So, did you find any trace of your senior brother?”

He asked anxiously.

“No, by the time I got there that grocery store had already closed.” What Wu Ran said was not a lie.

Though he was reluctant to waste time going to the Port District,

He still ordered a delivery from Meituan, bought some stuff from Yinghui Grocery Store, and took the opportunity to check out the basic situation. From this, he gathered that the grocery store was already closed.

“There indeed must be a connection with him!”

The expression on Li Xingwu’s face turned severe.

In his eyes, Chen Sheng undoubtedly had absconded out of guilt.

Losing sight of him now, it would surely prove difficult to find him again.

Li Xingwu’s face was constantly changing, pondering how to find traces of

Chen Sheng.

But right then,

“Master.”

“How about asking Uncle Li…”

Wu Ran had intended to suggest seeking Li Chenghu’s help, But was immediately interrupted by a cold snort from Li Xingwu.

“Can’t you see it?”

“He is more concerned about his precious disciple than me, his own father.”

“Without solid evidence, he will not investigate Chen Sheng.” Having said this, Li Xingwu seemed increasingly upset.

He waved his hand. “Let’s drop that for now, go practice.”

Having said that,

He prepared to return to his room.

“I’m about to break through to the second level of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.”

Wu Ran casually remarked from behind.

As soon as the words fell.

Li Xingwu, who initially had an incredibly somber expression, turned his head around in an instant.

His eyes were filled with an indescribable shock.

His own disciple had been practicing the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique for only half a month now. And he is about to reach the second level?!

“Are you telling the truth?”

Wu Ran nodded.

“Master, the Martial Arts Conference is about to begin.”

“As long as I can break through to the second level before that, I will surely come out on top.”

“At that time, we can request the Wu’an Bureau Headquarters in Haizhou City to help find Brother Guo’s whereabouts and even investigate Chen Sheng.” “It’s just, I think I might still be lacking some spirit medicine….”

As he said this.

Wu Ran’s expression became slightly troubled.

“Good, good, good.”

Upon hearing such good news.

Li Xingwu, who was initially rather dejected, immediately nodded with delight, endlessly saying ‘good’.

What Wu Ran said was right.

If they could come out on top in the Martial Arts Conference, the status of their Xingwu Gym within the Martial Arts Association, and even arguably the entire Fuhai Province, would significantly improve.

As the Martial Arts Association is a national organization, asking the Wu’an Bureau to investigate Chen Sheng would be a cinch.

Chen Sheng… no matter who you are or what secrets you hold.

If Guo Yang’s disappearance truly has something to do with you.

You absolutely cannot escape!

Thinking this,

A glint of determination flashed in Li Xingwu’s eyes.

“Don’t worry.”

“If there’s no more spirit medicine, even if I have to lose face, I’ll find a way to get some for you.”

“You just need to concentrate on training and make a big splash in the Martial

Arts Conference.’

Having said this,

Li Xingwu went out the door, preparing to find spirit medicine for Wu Ran.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, he had innumerable friends in the circle.

If he did not mind losing face, obtaining a few stalks of spirit medicine should be possible.

“Thank you, Master.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Guo is naturally blessed, he will definitely be okay.”

“Once I come out on top, everything will turn out well.” With a gentle smile, Wu Ran comforted Li Xingwu.

“Good, good.”

At his disciple’s comforting words, a hint of comfort flashed in Li Xingvvu’s eyes.

“You concentrate on training, I’ll be right back.”

“Take care on the road, Master.”

Bang.

The room door closed.

Wu Ran’s expression immediately faded.

A breakthrough to the second level?

He had already broken through and was not far away from the third level.

Drawing the attention of the Martial Arts Association, gaining the attention of more powerful martial arts sects.

This was his goal for participating in the Martial Arts Conference.

Learning stronger martial arts and gradually reaching the peak.

This was what he wanted.

It was also what he was destined to get.

All of these, obviously, the Xingwu Gym could not give him.

For Wu Ran, the Xingwu Gym was nothing more than a place to rest his feet.

However, he didn’t plan on breaking his promise.

Once he defeats everyone at the Martial Arts Conference,

Investigating Chen Sheng, a character of little importance, would not be a problem.

With this in mind,

Wu Ran cleared his mind and walked toward his room.

Before long.

From inside his room, the sound of practicing the crane fist could be heard..
