Chapter 12
Fu Chen returned back to his house. This time there was no one obstructing his path but he did get quite a lot of stares because of his brutal clothes condition.
Some said he was thrashed by Zhu Tan. Some said he was thrashed by Miss Xue. But nobody said that he trained to be like that. The world doesn’t want to see your success.
None of these matters to him though! After reaching his home, he took a bath and changed his clothes. Thankfully, he had a few spare clothes given by the sect. After all, the clothes often get torn by the hard training.
After that, he started cooking rice. He wanted to have some meat but he found all of the meat he had left got damaged when his house was destroyed. After making some rice balls, he ate a few of them and finally slept.
His body was tired and even if he wanted to cultivate, he had no energy to do so.
……
On another side of the sect, Miss Xue returned back to her room and took a hot bath in her private room. The water was covered with roses and the special paste was mixed to clean her body.
“Miss, your clothes are ready!” A pretty lady wearing a pink and blue dress walked inside her room while holding a bunch of clothes in her hands. She was Miss Xue’s maid.
“Leave those and keep the food ready!” Miss Xue commanded as she kept soaking in the hot water.
‘Hmm! This feels great after all that exercise. I don’t think I can continue training for a while. I should get some sleep and then I will continue later on.’
Miss Xue came out of the bath and wore her clothes. She wore a tight white Yukata with blue patterns on it.
After wearing her clothes, she went to her dining room. It was quite big. There was a big table inside where the food was served. She went to the chair in the middle and sat down.
In front of her, there were five plates. One had rice, another had chicken, and another was a bowl with soup on it. Another had some vegetables and finally, the last one had curd.
The full set meal that she eats every day. After she finished her meal, she went to her bed which had a huge fluffy mattress on it.
“It’s strange, isn’t it! Normally Miss would’ve been training for the entire night. I wonder what made her so tired today.” One of the maids who was washing the dishes spoke while looking at another maid who was cleaning the room.
“I heard that she has been teaching a disciple from the Outer Door. His name is Fu Chen. He was infamous for being trash who can’t awaken Martial Spirit till yesterday.” Another maid answered as she cleaned the table.
“So what? There should be nothing especially about him awakening a martial spirit unless it is top-level martial spirit.” The maid looked at her with confusion and asked.
“Well, I was tasked to look out for Miss’ every movement so I had to do some research about him. From what I heard, he awakened a Blue Snake Martial Spirit but a lot different.”
“It is said to be mutated one but there is no record of such Blue Snake. More importantly, the moment he awakened, he reached the First Stage of cultivation and before that, I heard he copied Disciple Zhu Tan’s martial art during the battle.”
“Wait, copied? Do you mean he learned someone’s martial art during the battle? That’s just impossible. He must have learned it beforehand.” The maid washing dishes immediately shook her head and denied it.
“It could be that case but this is the second day and Law Enforcement Committee hasn’t acted yet. We just have to wait till tomorrow. If nothing happens then that would mean he can learn someone’s martial art just by looking at them performing it.” Another maid shrugged her shoulders and answered.
……..
In the middle of the night, Fu Chen woke up. He sat on his bed. It was made out of wood and had one thin cloth covering it. He sat crossed legs and took out a jar filled with Qi Condensed Pill.
He opened the jar and took one of it. At the same time, he released his Martial Spirit. A blue light illuminated him and slowly moved above him.
It condensed into a phantom of a blue snake. This snake was nearly five-meter long and had a two-meter thick body with big scales that look nothing like Snake’s scales.
But that light immediately disappeared as the Martial Spirit inside his dantian opened its mouth. The snake released a powerful suction ability that pulled all of the Spiritual Qi from the Qi Condensed Pill.
When the massive amount of Spiritual Qi flowed inside his veins, he felt an intense pain that he was barely able to overcome with his strong pain resistance.
But, soon he realized that the Qi wasn’t moving to the second meridian rather it was still clearing up the first meridian. He couldn’t see inside his body but he could still feel things that were happening inside.
He could feel the small and irregular blockade that his Spiritual Qi faced while moving inside his meridian. And, he quickly understood what it was doing here.
Although he broke the clog, there were still remaining part of the clog which was blocking the flow of Spiritual Qi. So, now he was clearing it. Although the pill instantly dried up in just an hour.
So, he got no choice but to eat another. Like that, he ate six pills within six hours and finally managed to reach the Middle-Tier of the First Stage.
He felt a slight increase in his physical strength but it was nothing compared to the amount of Spiritual Qi present in his dantian. The moment he reached Middle-Tier, he found that the amount of Spiritual Qi has doubled.
After six hours of intensive training, he finally released a long breath and opened his eyes. Even though he cultivated for six hours straight, he didn’t feel any tiredness or anything.
Instead, he felt his body was full of power.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
But, suddenly he got distracted by the knock.
‘Who would visit me in the morning hour?’ Fu Chen was confused. But, he still got up and put the jar inside his clothes, and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he saw two disciples wearing the same clothes as him standing in front of the door.
Both of them had a solemn experience. They looked at Fu Chen and said.
“Disciple Fu Chen, Law Enforcement Committee is apprehending you for suspicious actions of illegally learning Martial Arts! Come with us without making any scenes.”
Hearing his words, Fu Chen’s expression turned pale. But, he quickly calmed down and nodded his head.
Two disciples were a little bit surprised by his reaction and led him. After closing his door, Fu Chen quickly followed him.
While walking, one of them asked “Did you really copy the martial art during the battle or are you illegally learning it before?”
Hearing his question, Fu Chen bitterly smiled and said “No matter what I said, it won’t matter until they got the proof, right?”
“You are correct. You need to show us the proof but it would be difficult, especially for you.” Another disciple answered.
“What do you mean?” Fu Chen asked with confusion.
“Because of the involvement of Disciple Xue, Law Enforcement Elders decided to observe whether you really have talent or not. But due to a certain elder, they were forced to inspect you instantly.”
“This elder is … What can I say if you don’t have a background but have talent, then you are the enemy of this elder. So, I am not sure what would happen next.”
“For now, you would be apprehended in our room for two hours and only then you will be taken to the Judgmental Room where they might or might not give you a chance to prove your talent.” f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
Hearing his words, Fu Chen opened his eyes widened. He bites his lips and clenched his fist with despair in his eyes. But he couldn’t do anything.
…..
Two hours later,
‘What happened? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?’ Miss Xue stood in the same training ground for a while and thought. She had been waiting for fifteen minutes but Fu Chen didn’t come.
‘He must be cultivating with those pills. I should’ve warned him not to focus too much on cultivation. Thankfully, I know where he lives.’ After a few more minutes, Miss Xue finally left the training ground and went to his house.
But, when she found the door was closed from the outside, she got confused. Several thoughts rang in her brain but her eyes only opened when she finally came to the conclusion.
‘Damn! They should’ve apprehended him a few hours ago. Please, don’t be late, Xue!’
Miss Xue instantly realized the situation and rushed toward the Law Enforcement Committee.
At this moment, inside the Law Enforcement Committee’s Judgement Room.
“Disciple Fu Chen is in your presence, Elders!”
