Chapter 204: Unexpected Awakening, Taihuang Body

“Ansheng Ge, where is that wastrel?”

Chen Yuling accepted the arrangements calmly, thinking to herself that she had to act decisively next time, so as not to be worse than a waste.

“That room on the left. Be careful not to kill him, or it will get troublesome.”

“Mm!”

Chen Ansheng had previously incapacitated two people and faced heavenly punishment because of it. Fortunately, he absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and his physical injuries healed very quickly, with no significant issues in his meridians.

But if he killed someone, the ensuing punishment would likely be much harsher.

“Make your move!”

Chen Ansheng said in a low voice, transforming into a black shadow that darted out.

“Who is it?”

“Ah!”

A scream rang out as Chen Ansheng’s silhouette burst through the second wooden hut.

At that moment, Chen Yuling was still on her way to the room of the wastrel.

“Charge!”

Chen Yuling gritted her teeth and slammed into the wooden hut.

“Ah, so painful!”

The wooden hut was surprisingly reinforced with a faint layer of spiritual energy barrier, harder than stone.

Chen Yuling had just entered the Dao and hadn’t had time to cultivate any techniques, so she couldn’t break through.

“Bold thief girl!”

The commotion startled the Lu family disciples training inside.

One of them rushed out, throwing a punch at Chen Yuling.

“Oh no… I can’t hold back Ansheng Ge!”

A surge of anger suddenly welled up inside Chen Yuling. Blood light flickered in her eyes.

“Hah!”

In a split second, she did not retreat, but forward she struck out a palm.

“Crack!”

Sounds of broken bones echoed.

Chen Yuling felt all her bones shattering under the force of an unseen pressure.

However, the anticipated pain did not come.

Instead, she felt that every crack in her bones seemed to be like a gaping black mouth, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy in the air, bringing her immense pleasure.

“Seeking death!”

After the strike, the disciple from the Lu family, taking advantage of the situation, threw another punch.

Chen Yuling suddenly noticed that his fist appeared to be moving incredibly slowly in her eyes.

She leisurely extended a palm to meet that fist.

“Ah!”

A scream echoed as the Lu family disciple was severely injured and sent flying.

“My… my strength, how did it suddenly become stronger!”

Chen Yuling was overjoyed.

“Could it be… my Taihuang Sacred Body has awakened?”

The Taihuang Sacred Body was a constitution possessed by Chen Yuling’s ancestors, and it had not appeared in their family for hundreds of thousands of years.

“My grandfather said that a true Taihuang Body grows stronger with every injury! The bones that just shattered… not only did they not injure my foundation, but they also absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, increasing my strength exponentially! It must be the awakening of the Taihuang Body, woohoo!”

At this thought, Chen Yuling couldn’t help but tear up from excitement.

On the other side, after easily dealing with two disciples, Chen Ansheng found the third opponent to be exceptionally fierce.

His cultivation level was likely very close to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Hmph, you thief are surely sent by that grandson Zhou Taihu!”

The disciple from the Lu family confronted him under the moonlight, coldly rebuking.

Chen Ansheng frowned, wondering who Zhou Taihu was.

But since you mistook me for someone else, I’ll play along.

“That’s right, I’m here on your Zhou grandfather’s orders. Hurry and kneel down to kowtow and hand over your treasures!”

“Scram! Even if Zhou Taihu personally came, I wouldn’t fear him, let alone a minion like you! Kneel before me!”

The disciple from the Zhou family bellowed, and with a flick of his hand, purple light erupted, crashing towards Chen Ansheng.

This overwhelming force made even Chen Ansheng hesitant to confront it directly, so he dodged aside.

“Indeed, the children of noble families are extraordinary; their talents are definitely better than mine!”

Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Of course, those with higher cultivation than him possessed not just talent but also luck; after all, they found the spiritual site first.

Seeing the standoff, Chen Yuling rushed forward to help.

“Hah! Take this palm from me!”

Boom!

Chen Yuling struck out her palm head-on, colliding with the purple energy’s palm shadow.

A shockwave erupted, pushing Chen Yuling back. Her meridians and bones were once again injured, resulting in many tiny cracks.

“Crash!”

Out of nowhere, the stream nearby seemed to have been drawn by some mysterious force, forming a water python that flew toward Chen Yuling.

“Be careful!”

Chen Ansheng shouted from the side.

But Chen Yuling didn’t evade; the water python collided with her, and the spiritual energy was instantaneously absorbed by her shattered meridians and bones.

“Peak Refinement Stage, haha!”

Chen Yuling laughed, her figure flashing as she actively charged toward the Lu family disciple.

Boom boom boom…

The two sides exchanged blows back and forth for dozens of rounds.

The Lu disciple, running low on vital energy, quickly found it tough to keep going. In contrast, Chen Yuling grew stronger with each fight, having beaten him into a bloody mess, his face swollen like a pig’s head.

“This girl, how is she so ferocious! Could it be her previous weakness was all an act?”

Witnessing this, even Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of doubt.

However, he didn’t have time to think much, seeing the Lu family disciple on the brink of collapse. Chen Ansheng stepped forward, unleashing the Divine Ape Fist.

Boom!

A powerful punch struck the Lu disciple’s back, forcibly sending him crashing down to the ground.

“Fine, fine! You all wait! Once my sister Lingxi returns, I will not let you go!”

As the man fell, he attempted to escape.

“Roar!”

With a roar, Chen Ansheng sent the man, who had just risen half a foot, crashing down, blood pouring from his seven orifices, incapacitated.

After dealing with these Lu family disciples, Chen Yuling beamed with joy, excited to rush over and hug Chen Ansheng.

But Chen Ansheng was very cautious, using his shadow-like steps to dodge away.

“What is your purpose in using me?”

Chen Ansheng asked sternly.

Chen Yuling froze for a moment, then realized that her sudden strength had made Ansheng Ge suspicious of her motives.

So, she quickly explained, “Ansheng Ge, I, I was just injured and my bones shattered, but unexpectedly awakened the inherited Taihuang Body, allowing me to absorb spiritual energy and suddenly become stronger. I really didn’t use you!”

“So miraculous?”

Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow.

“Mm! The true Taihuang Body has always ranked among the top three in all divine and holy bodies throughout history, so of course, it’s miraculous, hehe.”

The joy in Chen Yuling’s heart was beyond words, and she laughed while shedding tears.

Chen Ansheng looked at Chen Yuling, sensing that this state of joy was genuine; it seemed she was telling the truth.

“Is that so? Congratulations, Yuling girl.” Chen Ansheng smiled broadly.

“Thank you, Ansheng Ge.”

Chen Yuling leaped forward and gave Chen Ansheng a big hug.

She thought that if it weren’t for Ansheng Ge saving her, she would have long since committed suicide, and would never have had the chance to awaken the Taihuang Body.

Moreover, everything in the world has its cause and effect; perhaps her awakening of the Taihuang Body was brought about by the luck Ansheng Ge gave her.

“Alright, alright.” Chen Ansheng patted Yuling on the back. “You’ve awakened such a powerful physique, a tremendous joy! No more tears. Come on, let’s collect the spoils.”
