Chapter 1 Rebirth

  "Fubo, help me investigate the background of the young man who came to sell the inner elixir earlier. Is he from Hongling Town or a disciple from another sect who came for training?"

  At this time, a woman's voice came from inside Hui Chun Tang.

  The woman heard that Mr. Fu said it was a boy of 14 or 15 years old, and she became curious. This time they came out under the guise of traveling to gain experience, but in fact they were searching for talented young people all over the world. Otherwise, with their noble status, they would not have come to such a poor place. After finishing speaking, Mr. Fu went out to inquire.

  "Sister, you don't think that young man from just now is the genius we're looking for, do you? We've been out here for almost a year and still haven't found a suitable genius. This time, we made a bet with Big Brother and the others - whoever finds a genius first has to wash the other's socks for a month. Even if we lose, Sister, there's no need to find just any young man to fill the quota."

  The young man who had been silent all along said.

  "Junior brother, you're not right in saying that. Junior sister must have a reason for coming here. In bigger places or cities, even if there are geniuses, they would have been discovered long ago. What's the point of us going to find talented youngsters? Perhaps in these smaller places, we might actually be able to find some."

  For a genius like him to be washing socks is the greatest insult, I don't know why Master sent all of us brothers and sisters down the mountain together this time to find the genius.

  "Senior brother, I heard that recently in the Tian Xiang country, a genius emerged from the Tai Yi sect, named Jiang Huo, an eighteen-year-old who has already reached the True Martial Realm. The Du Gu lone family of the Tian Shui country also produced a once-in-a-thousand-years genius, named Du Gu Wu Ying, seventeen years old and has already reached the True Martial Realm."

  "You don't know yet, Tian Li Guo also produced a genius who hasn't appeared in a thousand years, and at the age of 17, he reached the True Martial Realm. I didn't expect that there would be such a cultivation genius in the world. We are all over twenty years old and still in the early stages of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Even if we reach the True Martial Realm, it will take at least ten more years! It's really frustrating to compare with others."

  Cultivated to the spiritual martial realm, who isn't a genius? In our family, we're also geniuses that appear once in a hundred years. Only after obtaining the entire continent did I realize there's a world beyond this one, and only after arriving at the sect did I discover that geniuses like us are too numerous to count.

  These young men and women from Danxuan Gate, three men named Lu Feiyu, Shi Yuanshang, and Pei Wenliang, and a woman named Wang Yuqing, are all inner disciples of Danxuan Gate. They were sent by their master to search for talented youths in the mountains. The other major sects have produced talents, but our own Danxuan Gate does not have any particularly outstanding ones. In five years, there will be a ranking tournament for young people under 25 in the entire Northern Domain. If we can't find some good seedlings, I'm afraid our Danxuan Gate will end up at the bottom this time.

  An hour later, Fu Bo returned.

  "Gentlemen and ladies, I've heard."

  At this time, Fu Bo hurriedly walked in.

  As long as you spend some money, there are plenty of street informants who can gather information for you.

  "The young man who just sold the internal elixir is Chen Xuan, the only son of Old Man Chen from Chen Family in Hongling Town. Half a year ago, he was at the Second Heaven stage, but I heard that half a year ago, he was ambushed and seriously injured. According to the servants of the Chen family, the doctor had already asked them to prepare for his funeral, but this kid miraculously survived. He hasn't left the Chen family's gate in half a year, and unexpectedly came out this time to gain experience. Looking at him, his cultivation is at least at the Eighth Heaven stage, yet he can't even kill an eighth-grade demon beast in the Lushan Mountains."

  Fu Bo wiped away his sweat and began to recount.

  "Eight products in two days are nothing to us, the key is how this kid can possibly go from second-rate to eighth-rate in just half a year, did this kid suddenly have an epiphany after being ambushed?"

  Luffy said with confusion.

  "I also feel that something is fishy, it's impossible for a large family to improve their six-level in such a short period of time."

  "I heard that in three days, the Chen family will be holding a coming-of-age ceremony. This Chen Xuan is exactly fourteen years old this year."

  Fu Bo continued.

  "Hmm, after fourteen years old, Tian Ba is also considered a genius, otherwise let's go visit him."

  The usually calm Shi Yuan finally spoke up.

  "Let's wait a few more days until the Chen family finishes their coming-of-age ceremony, then we'll go. We've come all this way, it won't make a difference to wait three more days."

  The white-clothed girl said at this time.

  Chen Xuan walked out of the family's armory and headed in the direction of his home, preparing to return. It had been two months since he left, and his father and mother must have been worried!

  Quickened his pace, from the town back to the Chen family must pass through a small alley, can also be detoured from other streets, but walking in the alley can save some time, basically all the Chen family children are passing through the alley, and Chen Xuan was ambushed in this alley when he didn't come over.

  Today, Chen Xuan walked this alley again because he felt that there were more than a dozen people following him from behind.

  "Last time you ambushed me, this time I'll make sure none of you get back."

  Chen Xuan's heart sank.

  He quickened his pace to the middle of the alley, where Chen Xuan stopped because there were several people blocking his way. This alley was rarely visited even during the day, and now someone was deliberately blocking his path.

  At this time, a dozen or so men wearing martial arts attire also arrived from behind Chen Xuan.

  "You're all here just waiting for me."

  Chen Xuan said calmly.

  "This kid is surrounded by over a dozen of us, yet he's still so calm, isn't he an idiot?"

  A middle-aged Taoist wearing a black long gown.

  "This kid must have been scared silly."

  A young man sneered.

  "You who are hiding in the dark, come out too, these are not enough for me."

  Chen Xuan said lightly.

  At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the shadows in the alley. Chen Xuan took a look at this person and found that he actually knew him, it was Wu Peng, the middle-aged man who had come to his family's arms shop to teach him a lesson. Later, when his father appeared, he slunk away with his tail between his legs.

  "Little kid, I don't know if you're blind or what, but somehow you knew I was hiding in the dark."

  Wu Peng said after appearing.

  "This isn't your usual trick, Wu family."

  Chen Xuan didn't say that his soul had sensed it long ago.

  "You've mobilized so many masters from the Wu family just to deal with a junior like me. The Wu family really thinks highly of me."

  Chen Xuan has a sarcastic tone.

  "Don't show off your eloquence, kid. Today is the day you die. Last time I didn't kill you, today this place will be your burial ground. Wu Yu, go and kill this kid for me, avenge our young master."

  An old man in grey robes instructed a young man.

  "Finally admitted that it was you who ambushed me last time, then I'll avenge what happened that day."

  Chen Xuan's body released an extremely strong killing intent.

  Wu Yu, a postnatal 8th rank cultivator, walked out of the crowd. The information provided by his family indicated that Chen Xuan was a postnatal 6th rank cultivator. This time, they had sent out their most elite disciples who were all martial artists and at least postnatal 6th rank cultivators. It seemed that no matter what, they were determined to keep Chen Xuan behind this time.

  "You young brat, this is your punishment for what you did to the Wu family, now meet your death!"

  He finished speaking and swung his sword at Chen Xuan in a slanting stab.

  Chen Xuan did not pull out the beheading knife on his back, but only punched one punch.

  "Furious Thunder Fist!"

  Chen Xuan didn't want to reveal his trump card so soon.

  Feng Lei Fist had long been practiced by Chen Xuan to the realm of great accomplishment, Wu Yu's knife was still suspended in mid-air, and Chen Xuan's fist had already smashed onto his head.

  "Bang!"

  The body fell down, and the brain matter mixed with blood was left on the ground.

  Shocking!

  Chen Xuan's fist was thrown out, and instantly everyone took a breath of cool air. The Eighth Rank of the Post-Heaven Realm couldn't even last one move in his hands, and was punched to explode his head.

  "This kid isn't at the Sixth-Order Postnatal Realm? How can he instantly kill an Eighth-Order Postnatal?"

  The boy called Xiao Hei said in a low voice.

  "The family's information is wrong, let's go up together and kill this kid to avenge Wu Yu."

  Someone shouted, and more than a dozen people with weapons rushed towards Chen Xuan to hack him. The middle-aged man named Wu Peng stood still on the spot without taking action, his eyes fixed tightly on Chen Xuan.

  Chen Xuan displayed his Phantom Nine Changes, only a few residual shadows could be seen as he shuttled back and forth among the dozen or so people.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  One after another, the sounds of explosions and bodies being smashed came out.
