Chapter 5

Walking out hand in hand with the girl, Chen Yu had a surreal feeling.

The Mu Xueqing in front of him, with her blushing and shy face, was like a peony that bloomed after the rain, making people unable to help but feel pity for her. The long dress accentuated her delicate figure, and overall, it gave off a sense of beauty and refinement.

The girl's beautiful hair, with a soft and light fragrance, when it brushed past his ears, it brought an inexplicable itch and heat to his heart.

Especially, the girl's white and delicate arms, it brought such a real feeling of smoothness and softness.

However, the steady and powerful heartbeat, with an invisible strong conviction, did not let him forget himself.

After the fusion and transformation of the crystal heart, not only did Chen Yu's body transform, but his thinking and reaction were also far better than before.

Thinking about it, Chen Yu felt that something was wrong.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

In the past two years, he had been pursuing Mu Xueqing for a long time.

However, Mu Xueqing did not reject him, nor did she agree. That kind of distant feeling made him feel uneasy.

It gave him the feeling that: it was not that Mu Xueqing did not like him, but due to some reason, she had unconsciously distanced herself from him.

And now.

Mu Xueqing held his arm in front of everyone, such an intimate action, was a little sudden and abnormal.

Walking out of the canteen, the girl in front of him, stopped in her tracks.

"Brother Chen."

Mu Xueqing suddenly let go of his hand, the redness on her pretty face faded.

She took a slight breath, her bright eyes were clear, as if she had made up her mind, and looked straight at Chen Yu.

The girl's sudden release made Chen Yu feel a sense of loss.

And the change in Mu Xueqing's expression, that calm as a lake, made him feel unfamiliar.

"Xueqing has something to say?"

Chen Yu calmed his emotions, that steady and powerful heartbeat, made him dare to look straight at the girl in his dreams, who he did not dare to blaspheme.

Mu Xueqing was slightly startled, feeling that the boy in front of her was different from before.

However, this would not change her original intention.

"Brother Chen, with your talent, you'll be able to live a better life if you return to your clan in the secular world. Perhaps, the Sect might not be suitable for you, and Xueqing can't bear to see you being bullied by others … "

Mu Xueqing's gentle voice echoed in his ears.

That voice was very pleasant to listen to, but the tactful meaning behind it made Chen Yu's hair stand on end.

At that moment.

He felt as if he had fallen from the rainbow clouds into a bottomless abyss. It was also as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his fiery heart.

"You think I'm not talented enough, so you want me to leave the Sect and return to the secular world? So, what you did just now was only to 'protect' me? "

Chen Yu interrupted her.

Mu Xueqing's beautiful face stiffened.

Her words were rather tactful, as she was afraid of hurting Chen Yu's self-esteem.

He didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

Indeed.

Mu Xueqing's action in the canteen just now was because she couldn't bear to see Chen Yu being bullied, so she adopted a disguised form of "protection".

"That's right!"

Mu Xueqing gritted her teeth, and her expression was dignified. "I'm just suggesting that Brother Chen return to the secular world out of kindness. And … "

"And what?"

Chen Yu surprisingly calmed down.

"Soon, I'll enter the 'Inner Sect' and become an Inner Sect disciple. At that time, no matter what decision Brother Chen makes. In the end, we'll … be people of two different worlds. "

At the end of her words, Mu Xueqing faintly sighed, and her eyes were peaceful.

When she said this "decision", the guilt and uneasiness in her heart seemed to have returned to calmness at that moment.

In the end, we'll … be people of two different worlds.

"This is your decision?"

Chen Yu suddenly laughed.

Mu Xueqing's words were tantamount to completely drawing a line with Chen Yu; it also meant that Chen Yu's previous pursuit and efforts had been in vain!

The Inner Sect was the core of the Yunyue Gate.

The Inner Sect disciples were the focus of the Sect's training, and there was a world of difference between them and the Outer Sect disciples.

Based on Chen Yu's performance in the past two years, it would be very difficult to establish a foothold in the Outer Sect.

In a way … Mu Xueqing's conclusion and decision didn't seem to be wrong.

"Brother Chen, Xueqing knows that you're a good person, and I'm sorry for what I've done to you. If you really want to stay in the Sect, as long as Xueqing is here, I won't let anyone bully you. "

Mu Xueqing bit her thin lips, and her face was full of guilt.

After all, the two of them had known each other since they were young, and they had a good impression of each other.

Would it hurt his heart if she did this?

She was worried that Chen Yu wouldn't be able to take such a big blow.

"Thank you."

Chen Yu said these three words, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

That smile had a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Thinking back to the past few years, when he pursued Mu Xueqing, he felt that she was neither close nor distant, and became more and more distant.

It turned out.

Mu Xueqing had gone so far, and was about to enter the Inner Sect.

From this point of view, the Outer Sect disciples, whether it was him, Wang Lingyun, or other pursuers, were all meaningless efforts.

The only difference was that Chen Yu had won the heart of a beautiful woman — Could this be considered a glorious defeat?

Chen Yu couldn't help thinking:

If Mu Xueqing had come clean earlier and severed his thoughts, Zhang Xuan would have had more time and energy to devote to his cultivation.

Maybe he would have broken through to the Soothing Pulse Stage now, and the success rate would be higher.

"Luckily, it's not too late now."

Chen Yu was relieved of the heavy burden, and his heart was calm; Although it was inevitable that he would feel some pain, he had crossed this threshold after all.

Thank you?

Mu Xueqing's bright eyes carefully examined Chen Yu, and suddenly she couldn't see through this young man.

"I will still stay in the Sect, but I don't need your so-called protection."

Chen Yu said indifferently.

Martial arts cultivation was the path that he had been dreaming of. In the world of the Sect, the martial arts experts were the rulers of this world.

He yearned for this path.

With that, Chen Yu turned and left without a trace of reluctance.

The resolute young man made Mu Xueqing's heart tremble, and she felt a sense of loss and pain.

At this moment, the confident and masculine aura of the young man tugged at her heartstrings.

"Chen …"

Mu Xueqing's eyes turned red.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had lost something precious, and it was impossible to get it back.

At this moment.

Chen Yu suddenly turned and said, "Also, we will meet again in the inner sanctum."

"Meet again in the inner sanctum? That's impossible! "

Mu Xueqing shook her head slightly, and almost subconsciously made a conclusion.

Of course, she knew Chen Yu's current situation. She was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to gain a foothold in the outer sanctum.

Soon, Mu Xueqing calmed herself down, and her eyes were calm and determined.

Since she had chosen this path, she would not regret it!

She had her own family, her own life goals, and a higher future. How could she be limited by a hazy relationship that had not yet begun?

…

After saying goodbye to Mu Xueqing, Chen Yu ran all the way to the barren mountains outside the Sect.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Along the way, Chen Yu felt that his body was getting lighter, and the world in his eyes was getting wider and wider.

After a short period of pain, his heart was wide and bright, as if the dark clouds had parted and he could see the moon.

"I must gain a foothold in the Sect and enter the inner sanctum. I want my family to be strong, and my parents will be proud of me … "

Chen Yu let out a long roar as he leaped into the air.

At this moment, the young boy was filled with vigor and strength, and he had set his own goals.

He did not know.

After taking this step, how far and how high he would go would he stand.

In the forest of the barren mountains.

"Iron Plow Fist!"

The young boy's figure flashed, and his fists whistled, giving off a depressing and shocking sound.

As time passed.

The power of Chen Yu's fists grew stronger, and there was an illusion that he was riding the wind and breaking the waves, and a thunderstorm.

He continued to train, not only to raise his cultivation and martial arts, but also to adapt to this strengthened body.

After fusing with the mysterious heart, Chen Yu's recovery ability was extremely strong, and he would not feel tired even after training for a few hours. Only when he was too hungry would he hunt for wild animals.

In other words, his training time and efficiency were far better than ordinary people.

Time passed slowly.

Chen Yu's fist technique and cultivation were all increasing at the same time. Especially the former, it could be said to be a thousand miles in a day.

Evening ten days later.

Boom!

The roaring iron fist directly broke a tree the size of a bowl, sending wood shavings flying everywhere.

For a moment, dust flew everywhere, and the beasts retreated in fear.

"To break a bowl-sized hardwood with one punch, and the wood at the gap shattered, this can only be achieved with the Iron Plow Fist …"

In the center of the dust, the young boy closed his eyes, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

After ten days of hard training, his Iron Plow Fist had finally reached the Great Success Realm!

Normal fist techniques were divided into four realms: Beginner, Minor Achievement, Great Success, and Peak.

In short, they were Beginner, Xiaocheng, Great Success, and Peak.

A martial art, even if it was a low-level martial art, if it could be trained to the Great Success Realm, it would have a power that could not be underestimated.

Moreover.

Iron Plow Fist was known to be easy to learn, but hard to train. The further one went, the more powerful it became.

When this fist technique was at Beginner and Xiaocheng, its power was slightly inferior to other martial arts of the same level.

And when it reached Great Success, its power would skyrocket!

"With my current strength, even if I fight with a disciple in the Early Meridian Opening Stage, I might not lose."

Chen Yu closed his eyes, feeling the vigorous power in his body.

At this moment, not only did his Iron Plow Fist improve greatly, but even his cultivation had reached the limit of the Body Forging Stage — Peak Body Forging Stage!

Peak Body Forging Stage already had the basic conditions to break through to the Meridian Opening Stage.

In other words.

Chen Yu could try to break through to the Meridian Opening Stage now. As for whether he would succeed or not, it was hard to say.

"There's no hurry to break through, there's still one and a half months."

Chen Yu was deep in thought.

He heard from the preaching elder in the Sect that the more solid the foundation of the Body Forging Stage, the better.

With a solid foundation, the Meridian Opening Stage would be able to withstand more internal energy, and he would be able to walk further on the path of martial arts in the future.

Besides.

When breaking through, the "main cultivation technique" one cultivated was also more important.

The higher the level of the main cultivation technique, the deeper the foundation, and the stronger the strength after breaking through to the Meridian Opening Stage.

When Chen Yu entered the Yunyue Gate, he chose a low-level martial art Iron Plow Fist from the Sky Martial Pavilion for free.

According to the rules.

After breaking through to the Meridian Opening Stage, he could choose a higher-level mid-level martial art for free.

Other than that, he could only rely on the Sect's Contribution Points!

Completing some missions from the Sect could give him Contribution Points, but it was not easy to get them.

Chen Yu had been in the outer sect for nearly three years, and the Contribution Points he had accumulated were only enough to exchange for one low-level martial art.

To him, this did not mean much.

"My goal is to enter the inner sect, and the starting line cannot be bad. I need to gather more Contribution Points, choose a better main cultivation technique, and then break through to the Meridian Opening Stage … "

Chen Yu thought for a while, and quickly made a decision.
