Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

To know.

His junior brother wouldn't be able to withstand his punch unless he used his full strength.

He suddenly felt a sense of worry.

What he didn't know was.

Gu Chen was able to catch that punch.

This is mainly due to Gu Chen's cultivation of the copper body and the tempering and enhancement of his physical body with each breakthrough in realm.

An ordinary early stage True Essence Realm cultivator, without the support of the Crimson Copper Body, would be incapable of such a feat.

Even with his mastery of the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique, he couldn't withstand a single punch from He Teng, a mere early-stage Breakthrough Realm cultivator.

"What, you can't win an argument, so you resort to violence?" Gu Chen looked at He Teng coldly: "He Teng, this is the second time!"

"Once, twice, but not a third time!" Gu Chen said coldly. "My master has only been transferred to Zhongzhou, not resigned. He just doesn't want to deal with you. If there's a next time, I guarantee you'll suffer a terrible fate. Do you think you can defeat me? Do you think you can defeat my senior brother? Think it over carefully!"

Gu Chen made a threatening statement.

It would be best to make He Teng back down.

Otherwise, it would really happen in public.

It's not worthwhile to let him reveal his cultivation level to deal with He Teng.

He Teng had a way of courting death.

I can find an opportunity to kill him in private.

There's no need to take action in public now.

"Hmph!" He Teng snorted coldly, turned and left: "My master said he'll give you another month. If you still can't find out any information about that unknown expert, you can quit your job as the head of the Nine Bays City Night Watch."

As He Teng spoke, he left the main hall of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take action against Gu Chen.

He had just learned that Gu Chen possessed such strength.

He did have the idea of ​​killing Gu Chen.

However, he didn't dare to do that.

Gu Chen's fellow disciples and his master, Shangguan Wuqing.

It's not just for show.

If Gu Chen is really hurt.

His fate will certainly not be good.

Now I know how formidable Gu Chen is.

He had to go back and tell his junior brother, Wen Lingtian, about this.

Let him prepare.

Otherwise, if he is careless, he might lose in the upcoming battle against Gu Chen.

Their lineage has lost face big time.

Watching He Teng leave.

A murderous glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes.

He didn't leave with He Teng; instead, he went and killed him directly.

He Teng has just had a conflict with him.

Those who followed him died.

Even a fool would know it must be related to him.

I'll find a chance to kill him sooner or later.

"My lord!" Liang Xiaoyun, Lin Fei, and a group of Night Watch personnel got up from the ground and came to Gu Chen's side, all looking angrily at He Teng who was walking away.

This is the second time.

That guy really deserves to die.

Why didn't they just get punched to death by that unknown expert in the tomb back then?

This allows him to still swagger around here today.

If you can't find the killer yourself, then put the pressure on them. If you're so capable, go find the killer yourselves!

What are you being so arrogant about?

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded and asked, "Are you all alright?"

"It's alright, sir," the others replied.

They were merely thrown away by the aftershocks of the collision between the two and were not seriously injured.

In their hearts, they were once again certain of their master's fighting prowess.

Unexpectedly, their master can now withstand a punch from a powerhouse at the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

That's really perverted.

Just over a month ago, they were still speculating.

My master was able to defeat Duan Yanxin, so he must have the strength of the late True Yuan Realm.

Looking at it now...

Our own strength has been underestimated.

If so.

Half a month later, the battle with Wen Lingtian, the heir of the Wen family, was not entirely without a chance of victory.

"It's alright." Gu Chen instructed, "Clean this place up, and continue the investigation."

"Yes," the crowd replied.

Gu Chen nodded and then left.

The case will just be a formality, and the investigation will continue.

Chen Lei previously said that if he couldn't find the answer within a month, he would be dismissed from his post.

Now, a month has passed, and he has only sent He Teng over to cause a ruckus, without daring to dismiss him from his post.

They were also looking for a way to back down.

Now they've given him another month.

A month later, he still couldn't find anything, so Chen Lei didn't dare to do anything to him.

They may continue to investigate him indefinitely.

That's probably how things are going to end.

He just needs to prepare for the challenge against Wen Lingtian in half a month.

And when the time comes.

Gu Chen is prepared to challenge more than just Wen Lingtian.

He Teng is really good at jumping around.

If he defeats Wen Lingtian, he will then challenge He Teng.

Then defeat it.

The result will definitely be very exciting.

If even He Teng, a person at the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm, is defeated by him, what face will Chen Lei's lineage have left in the Desolate State?

People in the desolate state would probably laugh their heads off.

He will then defeat two of Chen Lei's disciples in succession, bringing honor to his master.

His master might be pleased and perhaps reward him with some precious elixirs.

It is also a form of wealth.

After Gu Chen left the Night Watch.

We had a good meal at Jiuwanlou.

Normally, when he eats, he asks Wei Zhong to go to Jiuwanlou to get the food to go.

He doesn't usually cook at his residence.

After eating their fill, they returned to their residence.

Gu Chen began refining pills.

Refine the copper pills you just obtained today.

One hour later.

Gu Chen obtained ten Crimson Copper Pills.

Then he directly exchanged the copper bowl for ten protective divine runes.

This brought the number of protective divine runes within his body to thirty.

His physical body was strengthened once again.

Thirty protective divine runes erupted within Gu Chen's body.

In an instant, golden light flashed, and thirty layers of protective light shield appeared on his body.

These thirty layers of golden light shield allow him to completely ignore attacks from those below the True Essence Realm Perfection.

With these thirty layers of golden light shield, he would be able to fight Wen Lingtian in half a month.

If he stands still, his opponent can't break through his defense.

Moreover, the copper body, with thirty protective divine runes imprinted within it, is a significant hurdle.

With thirty protective divine runes, they can be fused and superimposed, directly fusing the power of the thirty layers of golden light shield into a thick protective true qi.

It can even withstand attacks from those at the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

This is also the source of his confidence to challenge He Teng together in half a month.

With this protective true energy, he was able to ignore He Teng's attacks.

Even without using my true cultivation level, I can defeat him.

Meanwhile, He Teng...

He rushed back to the capital of Huangzhou that same day.

Upon arriving in the city of Huangzhou.

He then sought out his master Chen Lei and his junior brother Wen Lingtian.

Upon seeing him return, Wen Lingtian immediately asked, "How did it go, Senior Brother? How did it go when you went to Jiuwan City to see Gu Chen today?"

Chen Lei also looked at him.

"No results." He Teng shook his head. "He didn't find a single clue. I don't know if he didn't want to investigate or if he really couldn't find any information about the case."

"The person behind this case is capable of concealing the truth. The people from the four top forces have all withdrawn, so he probably can't investigate even if he wanted to," Chen Lei said.

"Master, let's not talk about the case for now," He Teng said. "As you said, I've given Gu Chen another month to let him continue to be bogged down by this case and disrupt his cultivation rhythm."

"What I want to say is, Master, Gu Chen's strength has improved too quickly," He Teng reported. "Today, I took advantage of the opportunity when he provoked me with his words to attack him!"

"It turns out he can actually take a punch from me without any problem," He Teng said gravely. "If this continues, and he's given another half month to grow stronger, I wonder if his junior brother will be able to beat him when they fight!"

Upon hearing this...

Chen Lei and Wen Lingtian were both somewhat shocked.

Only one month has passed.

Gu Chen was able to withstand a punch from He Teng, a powerful expert in the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm, without any harm.

Has his defense become that strong?
