Chapter 10 You were looking for me? So here I am!
Although some elders were unhappy about Chen Xuan becoming the new leader, they ultimately dared not openly oppose it.
Because Chen Xuan earned his reputation through real battle achievements.
Of the seventy-two leaders of the Red Sand Gang, almost half followed this procedure.
Legal, reasonable and compliant.
Even if you object, it won't make a difference.
After the meeting, Elder Ge called Chen Xuan back again.
"Chen Xuan..."
"Elder Ge!"
Chen Xuan turned around and walked straight over.
Beside Elder Ge stood a middle-aged man, refined and gentle, dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt, with a smile on his face and three long wisps of beard under his chin, looking like a well-read scholar.
"This is the Left Protector, whose position within the gang is second only to the gang leader."
Elder Ge smiled and introduced Chen Xuan.
"Greetings, Left Protector!"
Chen Xuan immediately bowed.
The Red Sand Gang has two protectors, one on the left and one on the right, who have been fighting each other openly and secretly for a long time.
I was able to be elected as the leader this time thanks to the Left Protector.
Because the Left Protector wanted to hold a competition to recruit a leader, he had this opportunity.
According to the Right Protector, the position would be directly filled by recommending capable individuals within the gang, such as Elder Fang's son, Fang Zheng. In this case, there would be no question of setting up a challenge.
"Excellent, excellent!"
Left Protector Zuo Qiuyun smiled and nodded. "I heard you scolded Liu Zifeng?"
"That bastard, he asked for it, he has no one to blame but himself. I'm already being lenient by not hitting him. He started spewing filth right from the start, trying to make me give up my position as leader. Is he drunk?"
Chen Xuan frowned and said.
"That Liu Zifeng has mastered the second level of internal strength; he's even more troublesome than Fang Li. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Zuo Qiuyun smiled.
"Even if I'm afraid, what can I do? I can't really bow down to him, can I?"
Chen Xuan said.
"That's true, kid. From now on, whatever you encounter, do it boldly and without hesitation. I'll back you up. But you also need to be careful not to give Liu Zifeng and his gang any opportunity. That Liu Zifeng is a vengeful person!"
Zuo Qiuyun smiled.
"Vengeful and vindictive?"
Chen Xuan smiled.
What a coincidence?
me too!
"Alright, keep up the good work. The Shimizu-dera site won't be finished for a few more days, and we'll need your help a lot then. You can stay at headquarters for the next few days!"
Zuo Qiuyun smiled, patted Chen Xuan, and left.
Only after Zuo Qiuyun had walked far away did Chen Xuan pull Elder Ge aside and ask, "Elder Ge, where is the Scripture Pavilion?"
"The library is located in the southwest corner of the gang. When you get there, you'll see the tallest building there."
Elder Ge smiled and said, "You may borrow the manuals for the first three levels, but you cannot enter the fourth level."
"The first three levels!"
Chen Xuan nodded directly and turned to walk towards the Sutra Repository.
Not long after.
He indeed saw a towering, enormous building.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a vast collection of books, with rows upon rows of bookshelves.
Each bookshelf is filled with books.
There are all sorts of secret manuals.
Walking around here, Chen Xuan felt overwhelmed by the sheer variety of choices.
[Low-grade, mid-level martial arts skill: Mountain-splitting Palm]
[Low-grade, intermediate-level martial arts skill: Tongbei Fist]
[Low-grade, lowest-level martial art: Flowing Cloud Step]
[Low-grade, intermediate-level movement technique: Snake Form Movement Technique]
"They're all low-grade..."
Chen Xuan frowned.
No wonder the first three layers were so easy for others to borrow?
I estimate the best items are on the third floor and above.
However, he soon discovered the different levels of Tongbei Quan.
Low quality, medium quality!
"It really isn't high!"
Chen Xuan could only look for the tallest among the short, and it wasn't until the third floor that he finally found two decent martial arts manuals.
[Low-grade superior martial arts technique: Black Fiend Palm]
[Low-grade superior martial arts skill: Thunder Step]
According to the introduction, once these two martial arts are mastered, their power will be comparable to some mid-to-low-grade martial arts techniques.
Of course, that's definitely bragging.
If it could truly be as powerful as a mid-grade martial art, then why isn't it classified as a mid-grade martial art?
"Alright, let's deduce the Black Fiend Palm first."
Having made up his mind, Chen Xuan directly opened the manual and began to recite it silently in his mind.
"Pleasure Value, Deducing the Black Fiend Palm!"
[Ding! You have consumed 100 points of Pleasure Value. Your Black Fiend Palm has entered a slow training phase. Since you have already mastered the Tongbei Fist, the speed of your Black Fiend Palm is acceptable.]
[But you weren't satisfied with that speed, so you went all in with the remaining 600 pleasure points, and finally, your speed reached six times the normal speed again!]
[You feel your Black Fiend Palm technique is advancing rapidly, and your mastery of internal energy has reached a higher level. Congratulations, host, your Black Fiend Palm technique has achieved minor success, reaching the seventh level of Ming Jin!]
[Comment: The results of this training are equivalent to three years of normal training!]
A line of text appeared.
"Only the seventh level?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
He carefully felt the changes in his body.
Yes, there have been quite a few changes.
My strength has increased again.
In particular, this Black Fiend Palm actually contains poison, with a faint layer of poisonous power circulating within it.
"Unfortunately, my happiness points have run out again."
Name: Chen Xuan
Mindset: None available
Martial Arts: Black Fiend Palm (Minor Mastery), Tongbei Fist (Major Mastery)
Cultivation level: Seventh level of Ming Jin
Talent: Innate Super Strength (One talent is unlocked for each level of fame gained; current fame: unknown)
Pleasure Value: 85 (can be used to deduce martial arts techniques)
"I wonder if we can find someone else to leak some more information."
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
He put the Black Fiend Palm manual back in, took only the Thunder Step manual, registered, and left.
He had just walked a short distance.
A disciple rushed over, stretched out his hand, and shouted, "Wait! Chief Chen, Chief Liu needs you to come over!"
"Master Liu?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"That's Liu Zifeng, the leader of the Flying Eagle Helms."
The disciple shouted.
"That good-for-nothing is busy!"
Chen Xuan ignored him and walked straight ahead.
"You dare refuse Chief Liu? You even dare to insult him?"
The disciple's expression changed, and he shouted in shock and anger.
"Oh?"
Chen Xuan paused, a smile appearing on his face. He turned to the disciple and said, "You're right. I can't refuse him, nor can I scold him. Lead the way!"
"That's more like it!"
The disciple immediately snorted and turned around to lead the way for Chen Xuan.
The two walked through the corridor and headed straight for a courtyard.
In the courtyard.
Three figures converged here.
"Brother Liu, do you think this kid will really dare to come?"
A man dressed in a blue robe spoke up.
"Who knows? He was incredibly arrogant back in the side hall, threatening to kill my whole family. Maybe he really has that kind of guts."
Liu Zifeng sneered.
His heart was filled with gloom, and his hands were clenched tightly together.
Damn it, I actually managed to fool this kid before.
He ended up making himself look bad in front of everyone.
How will the gang leader and Elder Fang view me from now on?
Recalling what had happened earlier, veins popped out on his forehead.
"This little thing has a low cultivation level but great strength. To deal with someone like him, using movement-based martial arts techniques is just right. If he dares to come, I can fly him like a kite all by myself!"
The third figure sneered.
"If he doesn't come, it's fine. His Clear Water Gang has only just been established, and it's full of troublemakers. We can easily arrange some for him to have a hard time. He'll have endless trouble in the future!"
The man in the blue robe chuckled.
"What's this? Doesn't he care a lot about those people from the Rock City slums? I'll have a few killed later to cheer him on. I want him to know that sometimes the more you cherish something, the easier it is to lose it, and yet he can't change anything about it, hahaha."
The third figure burst into laughter.
Click!
Suddenly, the tightly closed courtyard gate was violently kicked open and shattered into pieces.
Countless fragments roared wildly into the yard, their shrill sound deafening.
The three people in the courtyard were so shocked that their expressions changed and they suddenly stood up.
