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

Even though Cheng Sihai stepped in to smooth things over, Cheng Mengling still didn't think highly of him.

Huo Huaqiu couldn't help but snort coldly: "Miss Cheng, don't be fooled by some people's sweet talk. There are some differences in levels. No matter how much you boast, you will eventually be exposed when you go on stage."

In his view, Gu Chen was just taking advantage of his youth and good looks to make up sweet words to deceive Cheng Mengling.

He convinced Cheng Mengling that he could deal with Zhong Chenghu of the Tang family, and made Cheng Mengling willing to pay him two hundred taels a month as a form of support.

But some lies, without a foundation of moral integrity, are nothing but castles in the air.

Once they take to the field, their attack will crumble on its own.

He was waiting for Gu Chen to be proven wrong later.

"Master Huo, your breakthrough is indeed a joyous occasion for the Cheng family, but please be mindful of your words," Cheng Mengling said with some dissatisfaction. "Any decision I make is perfectly reasonable; don't drag others into it."

"Hmph." Huo Huaqiu snorted coldly upon hearing this and stopped talking.

Cheng Mengling must have been bewitched by Gu Chen for some reason, as she was so protective of him.

Since that's the case, then let her see with her own eyes how Gu Chen is defeated.

After Gu Chen was humiliated, she realized how foolish her mistake was in inviting him to become a retainer of the Cheng family with a monthly salary of two hundred taels of silver.

Gu Chen glanced at Huo Huaqiu.

I ignored him.

He's just a clown; once he's defeated, we'll see who the real clown is.

On the Tang family's side, Zhong Chenghu isn't the only tough opponent; another elder also possesses the strength of the late stage of the first realm of the Innate Realm, although he only recently broke through to that level.

But his aura was much stronger than Huo Huaqiu's, and Huo Huaqiu was no match for him.

All personnel from both sides have arrived.

On the Tang family's side, the Tang family head gestured for another Tang family retainer beside Zhong Chenghu to come out first.

If he could sweep through the entire Cheng family's team by himself, Zhong Chenghu wouldn't need to participate.

The man nodded and slowly walked out.

He was originally a senior retainer of the Tang family, Wen Zhengzhen. He had been at the mid-stage of the first realm of the Innate Realm for a long time. I don't know if he has broken through now.

Seeing that Wen Zhengzhen was going to fight first, Huo Huaqiu from the Cheng family spoke up before Gu Chen could say anything, saying, "Patriarch, this old man Wen and I have been rivals for many years. Let me be the one to fight in the first round."

Huo Huaqiu looked at Cheng Sihai.

"This is troublesome." Cheng Sihai nodded.

Huo Huaqiu glanced at Gu Chen and walked straight into the training ground.

He'll defeat Wen Zhengzhen first, then quit.

Let Gu Chen deal with Zhong Chenghu, and then we'll see how he gets out of that mess.

Gu Chen didn't take the clown's actions seriously; he genuinely believed he could be a match for Wen Zhengzhen.

You'll soon find out what cruelty is.

Huo Huaqiu arrived at the center of the martial arts arena, revealing the aura of the late stage of the first level of the Innate Realm. He said to Wen Zhengzhen in front of him, "Old man Wen, I have already broken through. You should admit defeat so as not to lose face later."

"Hmph, so noisy." Wen Zhengzhen didn't bother to waste words with him.

His aura erupted directly, also at the late stage of the first realm of the Innate Realm, and even stronger than Huo Huaqiu's.

Upon seeing this, all the experts from the Cheng family were shocked!

This veteran retainer of the Tang family has actually broken through to the late stage of the first realm of the Innate Realm, just like their Cheng family's retainer, Huo.

Furthermore, in terms of imposing presence, it surpasses even the offerings made by one's own family.

In the training ground.

Huo Huaqiu was shocked by what he saw; this old man had also broken through!

Wen Zhengzhen had already rushed up to him.

Wen Zhengzhen's innate martial art is palm techniques. His palms are filled with howling winds, and powerful palm force bursts forth from them.

Each palm strike created a sonic boom as it struck the air, aimed directly at Huo Huaqiu.

Huo Huaqiu's innate martial art was fist fighting, and he hurriedly threw a punch to counter it.

Fists and palms collided, and invisible energy waves spread outwards, ruffling the hair of the onlookers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After exchanging a single blow, the two...

They exchanged more than a dozen more blows.

The training ground was filled with afterimages of the two people moving and exchanging blows.

Both were at the late stage of the first level of the Innate Realm, but Huo Huaqiu's aura was weaker, probably because his breakthrough time was not as long as Wen Zhengzhen's.

Moreover, after breaking through, he never actually experienced real combat at this level, and he was at a disadvantage after only a few moves.

Wen Zhengzhen had been breaking through to this realm for several months, and during this time he had been fighting against Zhong Chenghu, another retainer of the Tang family, accumulating a lot of combat experience.

After exchanging dozens more blows, Huo Huaqiu gradually showed signs of defeat.

He was almost breached by Wen Zhengzhen several times, and his vital points were almost attacked.

Finally, after exchanging a few more blows...

Huo Huaqiu was caught off guard by Wen Zhengzhen, who struck him in the chest with several palms.

The blows to Huo Huaqiu's chest were so severe that his shirt ripped open, leaving him covered in blood and gore.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward for more than ten meters, and crashed into the edge of the training ground.

Defeat!

Wen Zhengzhen's palm technique is called the Fierce Stele Palm. It has the power to split steles and shatter rocks with bare hands. When it hits a mortal body, its destructive power is terrifying.

If Huo Huaqiu hadn't already reached the late stage of the Flesh Refining Realm, and his flesh and blood hadn't undergone significant tempering, those few blows could have directly shattered his body into pieces.

"Old Master Huo!" Upon seeing this, the Cheng family members rushed forward to check on Huo Huaqiu's injuries.

Huo Huaqiu, who had fallen to the edge of the training ground, was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and was seriously injured. He was unable to get up and looked extremely disheveled.

"I'm fine!" Huo Huaqiu said, struggling to his feet after being helped up by two second-rate experts from the Cheng family.

But he knew that his internal organs had been injured by Wen Zhengzhen's palm strikes, and he wouldn't recover without a month or two of rest.

He was no longer capable of fighting.

On the training ground, Wen Zhengzhen looked at him with disdain and sneered, "Old man Huo, you dare to embarrass yourself with this kind of strength!"

"I was just trying to get this old man to admit defeat, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and ignorant at your age. If I were you, I would rather just kill myself than lose face like this."

"You!" Upon hearing this, Huo Huaqiu was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood and almost fainted.

When he first took the stage, he said that he had made a breakthrough and that he wanted Wen Zhengzhen to admit defeat. This statement was like a boomerang that pierced his heart.

This is utterly shameful!

He endured the humiliation and was helped to the back by the Cheng family members, where he took some medicine to stop the bleeding.

On the training ground.

Wen Zhengzhen looked in the direction of the Cheng family: "Who else in the Cheng family dares to come out and fight?"

Upon seeing Wen Zhengzhen call out, Cheng Mengling looked at Gu Chen and said, "Please, Brother Gu."

"Okay, don't worry." Gu Chen nodded to her.

Then he stepped out.

When Huo Huaqiu saw Gu Chen go on stage, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Since we've already lost, why send this piece of trash, who's not even at the late stage of the first realm of the Innate Realm, up there?

Cheng Mengling probably thought that Gu Chen could handle Wen Zhengzhen.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Gu Chen on the stage, waiting for Gu Chen to suffer the same defeat as him.

"Are you the newly recruited retainer of the Cheng family?" Wen Zhengzhen recognized Gu Chen's unfamiliar face and knew that Gu Chen must be the newly recruited retainer of the Cheng family.

The Cheng family actually sent a young man like Gu Chen to the stage. He shook his head disdainfully and said, "It seems that the Cheng family is really desperate and will resort to any means necessary. They even sent out a young man like you."

"Old man, don't look down on young people," Gu Chen said calmly, "lest you embarrass yourself by being beaten to your knees later."

After saying that, Gu Chen walked directly towards Wen Zhengzhen step by step without any display of aura.

He could deal with someone at the late stage of the first level of the Innate Realm with just his physical strength.

His physical strength has now exceeded 40,000 jin, while Wen Zhengzhen, who is in the late stage of the first realm of innate talent, only has a strength of about 15,000 jin.

He could cripple him with his bare fists.

"Young man, don't be arrogant." Wen Zhengzhen's aura erupted, showing no carelessness. He even unleashed his palm technique, sending countless palm shadows flying as he attacked Gu Chen.

"Let me teach you today: young people should respect the elderly and care for the young!"

Looking at Wen Zhengzhen who was attacking.

Gu Chen used the Wall-Moving Steps to easily dodge Wen Zhengzhen's attack with the Cracking Tablet Palm, and then reached out and grabbed Wen Zhengzhen's hand tightly like an iron clamp.

Get him under control.

Then he swung his fists and started hitting him in the face and head with a series of loud blows!

A terrifying iron fist carrying the force of 40,000 jin.

Wen Zhengzhen, that old man, is no match for him at all!

The iron fist landed solidly on his head and face!

Wen Zhengzhen felt that he couldn't even see the shadow of Gu Chen's fist when he made a move.

He was punched several times.

Gu Chen's strength was so great that he was terrified. The hand that was holding his arm seemed to be locked, and he couldn't move at all!

Loud bangs echoed throughout the entire training ground!

Gu Chen delivered more than ten punches.

Wen Zhengzhen's face was beaten so badly that it was a bloody mess!

His teeth had long since fallen out, he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he was dizzy and unable to see the figure of Gu Chen clearly.

Gu Chen then kicked him back towards the Tang family's direction.

He fainted immediately!

The Tang family members were stunned when they saw Wen Zhengzhen fall in front of them.

On the other side, the Cheng family's experts were also stunned.

The Tang family's late-stage Innate Realm cultivator was knocked unconscious by a few punches from their own ancient guardian.

The scene was completely silent.

A deathly silence.

Behind the Cheng family, Huo Huaqiu looked at Wen Zhengzhen, whose face had been beaten beyond recognition by Gu Chen, and was too shocked to speak.

My heart was filled with unease for a long time.

Gu Chen is actually this strong.

Wen Zhengzhen, who had been severely injured, was powerless to fight back against him.

I had just been looking down on him and making sarcastic remarks.

We're waiting for him to make a fool of himself, waiting to see him laugh.

As a result, Gu Chen defeated Wen Zhengzhen, who had defeated him, thus avenging him.

The Joker was himself!

"Great job, Brother Gu!" Cheng Mengling shouted excitedly from outside the martial arts arena.

She had just shouted it out.

The Cheng family's experts immediately joined in, shouting, "Well done, Elder Gu!"

"The ancient offerings are awesome!"
