Among the martial servants, the man in the lead heard his voice.
He immediately turned around, smiled, and called out, "Brother Chu Chen, come quickly!"
"This jade pendant actually has an inscription!"
Saying that, the martial servant handed over a jade pendant.
Chu Chen took it and was stunned.
The jade pendant was densely covered with inscriptions.
"Chu Feng?"
"Who is he?"
Chu Chen was confused.
He had never heard of this person.
This jade pendant was a weapon!
Chu Chen noticed a "Chu" character carved on the corner of the jade pendant, which seemed to be exclusive to Chu family disciples!
"Brother Chu Chen, this jade pendant is standard equipment from the Chu family academy!"
"Look what it says!"
"First-grade Martial Master realm!"
The martial servant said with a grin, "We all thought you, a good-for-nothing, would definitely not be able to advance to Martial Apprentice within half a month! That's why we brought it out to show off!"
Martial Master?
Chu Feng?
In a daze, Chu Chen seemed to guess something, his pupils contracting!
He quickly looked at the jade pendant.
He found that a faint white-gold radiance was indeed shining, and on the back of the jade pendant, a lifelike swimming dragon was engraved!
This was... a token only eligible for direct descendants of the Chu family!
First-grade Martial Master represented first-class innate strength!
In the entire Chu family academy, there were thousands of Martial Apprentices, but only a few could obtain the title of First-grade Martial Master!
Among these people, two were grandsons of the Chu family elders!
"No wonder I felt this boxing technique was familiar... it's ancestral!"
Chu Chen was surprised.
The father of this body was the son of a Chu family elder.
His mother was also the daughter of an elder.
Therefore, he inherited a trace of bloodline inheritance and knew some secrets.
This boxing technique was called "Azure Cloud Overlord Fist," originating from a fragmented Martial Master boxing technique.
When cultivated to the extreme, it could even condense an azure dragon phantom, deterring all ages!
"Azure Cloud Overlord Fist?"
"As expected of an ancestral boxing technique, my cultivation efficiency is quite good!"
"Hmm? Reached the peak of Martial Apprentice Stage Eight so quickly!"
Chu Chen immersed himself in his thoughts.
A moment later.
His whole body radiated brilliant golden light.
"Roar!!!"
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a terrifying and unparalleled pressure spread, instantly sweeping the entire venue!
Martial Apprentice Stage Nine!
Chu Feng!
Martial Apprentice Stage Nine meant his martial soul had also reached Martial Apprentice Stage Seven!
"Brother Chu Feng, you're amazing!"
"In just two days, you've leaped four minor realms!"
Among the martial servants, a group of them showed reverence.
This speed was simply terrifying!
"As expected of an elder's grandson. It is said that in our Chu family academy, even the most monstrous Young Master Chu Feng's cultivation speed cannot match one percent of yours!"
A group of martial servants chattered.
Their gaze towards Chu Chen was filled with envy! In their hearts, a master like Chu Chen, who was now at Martial Apprentice Stage Nine, was definitely a leader in the academy!
"Is my martial talent too poor?"
Chu Chen's eyes were dark, and he shook his head, filled with emotion.
This body was a martial arts cripple!
Moreover, this cripple's talent was not just a little, but extremely poor!
Not only that.
Because his mother was the illegitimate daughter of a Chu family elder, his mother was forced to marry into the Chu family academy!
She was already pregnant at Martial Apprentice Stage Six.
But due to the strict rules of the Chu family academy, she could not have an abortion, so she gave birth to him!
When he was just born, he was weak and often injured, suffering a lot!
Coupled with the complex environment of the Chu family, Chu Feng's existence was more like the illegitimate son of some powerful figure in the Chu family.
This led to him being bullied since shortly after birth!
Even Chu Chen's father could not control it.
Until ten years ago.
His father died!
Only then did Chu Chen's mother receive permission from the elders to take him away from the Chu family.
They lived incognito, moved to a village town outside Green Mountain City, and opened a martial arts academy!
"Although I am at Martial Apprentice Stage Six, I am actually no different from not having entered the Martial Apprentice realm!"
"It's just an illusion built up by medicinal pills!"
"However, this is not entirely useless."
"At least, at this stage, I can easily kill ordinary Martial Apprentice Stage Nine, and some low-level Martial Master realm opponents are not a threat."
"However, once I enter the Martial Master realm..."
"Perhaps even a Martial Apprentice Stage Nine wouldn't be able to withstand one of my palms? After all, I can unleash the strength of Martial Apprentice Stage Seven!"
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth curved slightly.
A cold smile appeared!
He was indeed a cripple.
But so what?
He possessed formidable combat power, and even if he could only unleash the strength of Martial Apprentice Stage Seven, he could still crush his peers and become a leader among his generation!
That was enough!
He just needed to improve his strength!
Continuously improve his strength and become stronger!
One day, he would let the world know his true strength and value!
...
In the early morning, as the dawn light sprinkled the earth.
Chu Chen woke up from his cultivation and pushed open the courtyard door.
In the courtyard, the clansmen were already standing.
These clansmen were all disciples of the Chu family!
Chu Chen, as the grandson of an elder, should call Chu Feng his cousin according to seniority.
However, Chu Feng's personality was arrogant, relying on his Martial Apprentice Stage Nine strength.
He treated the Chu family members like ants, ordering them around and treating them as if they could be slaughtered at will.
"Is it time for class?"
Chu Chen scanned the surroundings.
This time, his father and grandfather did not come.
After all, both were at Martial Apprentice Stage Nine and disdained to spar with those below the Martial Apprentice realm.
As for Chu Chen, he was assigned to this remote and desolate small courtyard to teach cultivators below the Martial Apprentice level.
This kind of work was a torment for the martial servants!
"Heh heh, Brother Chu Feng, there's a super prodigy in our class this time, you definitely can't afford to provoke him!"
A young man who was rather fat with a round face squeezed over, saying with a smile.
"Oh?" "What do you mean?" Chu Chen asked with a frown.
"I heard that super prodigy is called Chu Feng!"
"His cultivation seems to have reached the level of a Second-grade Martial Apprentice!"
Second-grade Martial Apprentice!
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth: "Then I must see him!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Rumble!!!
A violent thunderclap sounded.
Chu Feng, standing on a flying sword, soared through the air.
His figure was tall and handsome, dressed in black martial attire, holding a silver spear, majestic and imposing!
"Brother Chu Feng, so handsome!" A group of little ones shouted with stars in their eyes, infatuated.
This scene attracted the attention of many nearby martial servants!
Especially one young man at Martial Apprentice Stage Nine, who couldn't help but sneer upon seeing Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng? Heh heh!"
"With him, daring to claim to defeat a Martial Apprentice Stage Nine?"
"Simply hilarious!"
"Martial Apprentice Stage Six, defeating enemies across realms!"
"I thought this Chu Feng was so formidable."
Hearing these words, Chu Feng's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
In his memory, these people who mocked and ridiculed him were the same ones he had defeated and who had begged for mercy on their knees.
