Chapter 932

After a few months of meditation, Zi Chen finally broke through to the Complete Core Realm. He was only one step away from the Mortal Realm.

Once he crossed this step, he would be in the Mortal Realm. However, there were too many people who were stuck in this realm. It was not easy to reach the Mortal Realm, but Zi Chen was confident.

Now that he had broken through, it was time for Zi Chen to go back.

The ancient clan was located in a village with about a thousand families. This was only a branch of the ancient clan, not all of them.

Zi Chen came back. Along the way, all the ancient clansmen greeted Zi Chen. Zi Chen nodded in response.

In the eyes of the ancient clansmen, Zi Chen, as a member of the royal clan, was mysterious. Although the royal clan was in decline, they still had a high status in the ancient clansmen. They had always respected the royal clan. Plus, almost everyone knew that Zi Chen had killed a spiritual body. Recently, there were rumors that Zi Chen had killed several spiritual bodies of the Mortal Realm. This made Zi Chen even more famous in this small village.

Along the way, everyone greeted Zi Chen. Gu Xiude had also arranged a room for Zi Chen.

Zi Chen did not go back. Instead, he walked towards the square.

From far away, Zi Chen could hear the sounds of fighting.

Arriving at the edge of the plaza, Zi Chen saw the Demon Ape fighting with someone, and that person turned out to be Gu Mei. Back when Zi Chen had fought with Gu Mei, he had been suppressing her, and the latter had not made any decent attacks, so he did not know how strong she was.

Now that he saw her today, she was indeed extraordinary. Her combat ability was comparable to a Xiantian warrior of the same level. She used all kinds of ancient skills to fight with the Devil Ape.

However, just as he was pushed back by the attack, he saw Zi Chen standing in the distance. His expression instantly changed. On the battle stage, after being pushed back, Zi Chen borrowed the force of the attack to turn around and run away without looking back. From the looks of it, he seemed to be fleeing.

"Haha, Gu Mei, are you admitting that you can't beat the devil ape? But it's fine as long as you admit defeat, why do you have to run?" A loud laughter rang out, this voice came from Gu Xun.

"Idiot, run!" Gu Mei shouted.

"Run? Why should I run? I can fight the Demon Ape for three days and three nights, unlike you," Gu Xun said.

"Look behind you."

Hearing Gu Mei's words, Gu Xun turned his head and saw Zi Chen walking towards him. The smug smile on his face immediately disappeared. He was stunned for three seconds before he followed Gu Mei and fled.

Seeing the two of them in such a sorry state, Zi Chen laughed and asked, "Why are you running?"

When the others saw Zi Chen arrive, their faces immediately lit up with joy. They followed suit and said, "That's right. Why are you running? We just want the two of you to crawl and run in circles."

Although a few months had passed, everyone still remembered what Zi Chen had said last time. At this moment, they were still teasing the two of them.

It was fine if it was just teasing, but at the same time, more than ten figures flew out and chased after the two of them. From the looks of it, they seemed to want to catch the two of them.

"Zi Chen, it's you. Why are you here?" Gu Hu looked at Zi Chen and asked with a strange expression. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Judging from your tone, you don't seem to welcome me back. Didn't you say that we were friends?" Zi Chen asked with a smile.

Gu Hu snorted, "Yes, we are friends, but you shouldn't have come back now. Gu Yue was just about to forget about you, but you appeared."

Zi Chen walked towards Gu Hu and patted him on the shoulder. He said earnestly, "Xiao Hu, a man has to look forward. He has to have the heart of a strong warrior. He has to have the persistence to pursue power. He has to have power in his eyes. He can't just keep talking about women. Moreover, this woman is his sister."

"No, we are not related by blood," Gu Hu explained.

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Let's not talk about this anymore. You and I haven't seen each other in a long time, so we should have a good gathering today. However, you have to give me the thing first."

"What thing?" Gu Hu looked at Zi Chen in shock.

"Wine. I haven't been back for a few months. Based on one bottle every two days, you should have saved up dozens of bottles for me. Moreover, you and I should have a good chat over wine when we meet. How can we not have wine?" Zi Chen looked at Gu Hu.

Hearing Zi Chen's words, the corner of Gu Hu's mouth twitched.

"Why? You didn't prepare anything? Then I'll go to your house today and ask for a meal."

Gu Hu's mouth twitched, and his eyelids trembled.

Zi Chen continued, "If I don't see the wine, not only will I go today, I'll go every day in the future to see your father and Gu Yue. We'll chat about our daily lives and dreams."

Gu Hu had the urge to clench his fists and kill someone.

"Big Brother Zi Chen, we've brought them."

"Big Brother Zi Chen, they're here."

Right at this time, voices came from the distance. It was Shou Hou and the others who had caught Gu Mei and Gu Xun. Ever since Zi Chen had shown his strength, these people had started calling him Big Brother Zi Chen.

Gu Mei and Gu Xun's faces were ashen. They couldn't move, but they were still in good condition. As for Shou Hou and the others, they were bleeding from the corners of their mouths and their clothes were in tatters. The more serious ones had bruises and swollen faces. It was obvious that they had paid a heavy price to catch these two.

"Why did you catch them?" Zi Chen looked at them in shock.

"Let them crawl. Isn't that what Big Brother Zi Chen said last time?" Everyone's faces were swollen, but they were excited.

Zi Chen looked at the two of them and smiled, "Did you hear that? They want the two of you to crawl. You've been waiting for so long. Go ahead and let everyone have some fun."

The crowd cheered again.

Before the two of them could react, Zi Chen patted Gu Hu's shoulder with a 'do as you see fit' expression on his face. Then, Zi Chen brushed past Gu Hu and went straight to the weapon rack not far away.

Behind them, the cheering became even more intense. However, Gu Xun and Gu Mei naturally wouldn't really crawl. Moreover, Zi Chen was smiling and didn't force the two of them. It was obvious that he didn't care about this matter.

After a while, banging sounds came from behind Zi Chen, followed by exclamations and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"It's fine if they don't crawl, but they actually dare to hit people. Everyone, let's beat these two to death." Shou Hou shouted from the side and was the first to rush towards the two of them.

A chaotic battle broke out immediately. All kinds of sounds could be heard. Gu Hu was still standing there, his expression constantly changing as if he was hesitating about something.

The battle continued for a while. Almost everyone's faces were swollen. Finally, the battle stopped. Gu Hu was no longer in a daze. He called Gu Mei and Gu Xun over.

"You two, quickly steal the good wine from your house and give it to Zi Chen." Gu Hu called the two of them to a corner and whispered.

The two of them were beaten black and blue by the crowd. They asked, "Why should we give him good wine?"

Gu Hu glared at them. "Are you stupid? If we don't give him wine, he will go to my house to take it. Once he goes to my house, he will see Gu Yue. It's not like you don't know that Gu Yue is interested in him. Moreover, that damn old man of mine isn't very smart. He actually didn't object."

As he spoke, Gu Hu lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The wine in my house has almost been stolen. I can't take anymore."

Facing a strong enemy, the three of them were undoubtedly united. They stood on the same side and nodded heavily. For the sake of happiness, they were willing to give it their all. Wasn't it just some wine? Compared to happiness, these were all external things.

Therefore, the two of them held their swollen faces and prepared to return. At this moment, they saw Zi Chen take out a long spear from the weapon rack and walk towards the black rock.

The black rock was mainly used to test the strength of one's technique. However, the prerequisite was that it was accompanied by a unique weapon. The scratches on the black rock were all left by the original experts. The deepest one was a five-fingered palm print that was seven inches deep into the black rock. It was left by a genius expert of the clan. However, they could only leave shallow scars on the black rock.

Seeing Zi Chen pick up a weapon, everyone's face was filled with curiosity. They all walked towards the black rock. Gu Mei and Gu Xun also walked over. They were very curious about how strong Zi Chen was, since he could kill a spirit body.

Under everyone's gazes, Zi Chen struck out with his spear. This was the first move of the Heaven Piercing Spear Art. The long spear streaked across the black rock, and a light flashed. A shallow scar appeared on the black rock.

When Zi Chen made his move, the Yuan Energy in his hand was completely blocked by the weapon in his hand. Now, a shallow scar appeared on the black rock. It was a sign of Zi Chen's comprehension of the technique. Compared to the others, Zi Chen's comprehension of the technique was considered top-notch. However, compared to the scar on the black rock, Zi Chen's strike was truly insignificant.

Seeing the shallow scar, everyone was stunned. They couldn't understand how Zi Chen could kill a spirit body, but his comprehension of the technique was so weak. However, after the shock passed, a burst of boos came from all around.

"Big brother Zi Chen, you are an existence that can kill a spirit body. Why is your comprehension of the technique so weak?"

"Is this the Heaven Piercing Spear Art? It is known as the most powerful spear art among the ancient techniques. However, when Big brother Zi Chen used it, it seems a bit too weak."

"Big brother Zi Chen, you are purposely acting cute to amuse us, right?"

Everyone spoke one after another. They didn't have any scruples. They had sincere smiles on their faces and appeared very magnanimous. They were obviously mocking Zi Chen.

At this moment, Gu Hu also stepped forward. When he saw the shallow scar, his face was immediately filled with disdain. Suddenly, his expression changed. He already had a plan in his mind. He then pulled Skinny Monkey over and whispered in his ear.

"What? You?" Skinny Monkey's expression changed slightly when he heard it. He then looked at Gu Hu with a strange expression.

"What you? Hurry up and go. I have full confidence this time. Hmph, what can a mere Zi Chen that can kill a spirit body count for?" Gu Hu had a smug look on his face.

Skinny Monkey had no choice but to leave quickly.

"Let me see. Let me see." Skinny Monkey left. Gu Hu squeezed through the crowd and walked to the front.

He reached out his hand and touched the scar. After touching it a few times, he tilted his head and said, "I don't feel anything. This is too shallow."

After that, Gu Hu looked at Zi Chen and said, "Zi Chen, as one of the four royal tribes, your comprehension of the ancient techniques is really terrible. If you go out like this, you will embarrass the ancient tribes."

The people around nodded.

Zi Chen looked at Gu Hu and smiled without saying a word. He had already guessed that this guy was going to cause trouble again.
