CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 169: DRINK IT

"National Spirit, Shimmering Golden Phoenix, I, as the Sovereign of Great Zhou, command you to bestow your blessings!"

The blessings are granted by the National Spirit.

Moreover, there is only one chance, and that is when the nation is first established.

"Clang clang....."

The Shimmering Golden Phoenix let out a sharp cry, soared into the sky, and disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

At this moment,

Chen Xuan slowly stood up.

After waiting for so long, the blessings were finally about to descend.

Not just him, but everyone in the area who was going to compete for the blessings stood up, their eyes fixed on the sky.

"The Spiritual Rain is divided into three waves!"

"The first wave has about a hundred drops, and it’s the least effective!"

"The second wave has about fifty drops!"

"As for the third wave, it has at most ten drops, and it’s the most effective!"

These were the instructions given by Xuan Er before.

"Clang clang....."

The Phoenix’s cry became urgent.

Chen Xuan squinted his eyes, "Is the first wave about to begin?"

Suddenly,

A cluster of light appeared in the void!

"The Spiritual Rain has appeared!" Chen Xuan immediately rushed out, and simultaneously, the disciples and youths invited from various factions surged towards the Spiritual Rain in the void.

In the blink of an eye, he was only a thousand meters away from the light.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, realizing that in the space beneath the Spiritual Rain, his Spiritual Power was locked within his body, unable to be projected outward.

"Never mind!"

He flew towards the densest part of the Spiritual Rain.

"Get lost!"

Suddenly, a roar came from behind him.

Chen Xuan turned his head to look.

Ha!

It was truly a case of enemies on a narrow road; it was Kong Run, with three others by his side.

"This area now belongs to us, you can leave!"

Kong Run wore a contemptuous expression, clearly not taking him seriously, since he had three Third Grade experts with him.

Chen Xuan couldn’t care less about him at this moment. Leave? Who did he think he was?

He continued flying towards the Spiritual Rain. He had no time to play games with him now; he needed to secure the Spiritual Rain first.

"Attack!"

Kong Run shouted decisively, making the first move, now less than a hundred meters from the Spiritual Rain; they would arrive in the blink of an eye.

The three next to him followed closely.

Four streams of Spiritual Power transformed into a fist, palm, blade, and arrow, attacking Chen Xuan.

"Screw you, I’ll teach you a lesson!"

Chen Xuan shouted furiously, turning around instantly, and unleashed the Unrivaled Fist.

"Boom boom....."

Explosive sounds erupted instantly; with five Third Grade combatants, the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged in an instant.

But Chen Xuan obviously wouldn’t let them off so easily.

He had thought it through; unless he made an example out of someone, people would keep assuming they could bully him just because they outnumbered him.

If so, then Kong Run would be the one to make an example of.

After all, Xuan Er had told him before, "Go all out, I’ve got your back."

Chen Xuan turned into a white blur, instantly appearing in front of Kong Run.

"What?"

Kong Run’s face changed drastically; he didn’t expect Chen Xuan’s speed to be so fast, catching him completely off guard.

"You’re out!"

He said disdainfully, delivering a punch to Kong Run’s chest.

"Puff!"

Kong Run spat out a mouthful of blood and fell like a meteor.

"Presumptuous!"

Below, Kong Yong shouted angrily and flew up to catch him, gently bringing him down.

At this moment, Kong Run’s face was pale, and there was a fist-sized wound on his chest, with blood continuously flowing out.

He swiftly fed him a pill and sealed the wound with his Spiritual Power, only then laying him aside.

Then he looked coldly at Xuan Er, "Your disciple is too ruthless!"

"Not too bad!"

Xuan Er said nonchalantly, "But, well, his temper isn’t so good. Of course, you can’t really blame Chen Xuan; if your grandson hadn’t provoked him, it wouldn’t have come to this!"

"Right, Elder Kong?"

Xuan Er had a smile on his face at this moment.

He never held any respect for this old guy; just a fence-sitter.

He was certain that finding trouble with Chen Xuan must have been his idea.

In mid-air, Chen Xuan had effortlessly taken out the Third Grade Kong Run with one punch.

Instantly, it subdued quite a few people.

"This area is mine, whoever dares to come, he," pointing towards Kong Run’s direction, "will meet the same fate!"

His gaze was icy, sweeping over everyone.

He wanted to see if anyone dared to challenge him.

The three who had allied with Kong Run watched him warily.

"Are you three waiting for me to send you off as well?" Chen Xuan said domineeringly.

"Let him have it!"

Suddenly, an old man below shouted, and the next moment, the three flew out of the area.

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, a bunch of fools who just asked for a beating!

Then he flew again towards the Spiritual Rain ahead; this area was his.

At this moment below,

"Xuan Er, your disciple has a bit of your flair from back in the day." The voice of Long Ling came from not far away.

This master and disciple are truly extraordinary!

One punch disabled a Third Grade; you have to know that Elder Kong’s grandson is not weak.

"Not bad!"

Xuan Er appeared indifferent, but inside he was increasingly satisfied with Chen Xuan.

"His temper is as foul as yours!" said Yi Jun, also chiming in, "still enjoys beating a fallen enemy!"

Pointing at these people who threatened to take the Spiritual Rain from Elder Kong’s grandson, didn’t they see Elder Kong’s face had turned as black as charcoal? Truly a rascal.

"Isn’t this what should be done? You, me, and even those among the First Grade, who didn’t do such things when they were young?"

"Hahaha....."

Yi Jun burst out laughing, "Of course, geniuses, how many of them don’t have a foul temper? I really like this kid! Rest assured, the younger generations of our families won’t have any conflicts with him!"

"Hehe!"

Xuan Er also chuckled lightly.

On the altar, Zhou Zheng looked toward Chen Xuan’s direction in surprise, and asked, "Is he Xuan Er’s disciple?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, "Another ’Xuan Er’, and he has also mastered the Divine Step. Although the Divine Movement Sect has been destroyed, with these two around, there is no problem to reestablish the sect."

"He is a good prospect but a bit lacking in strength, only Third Grade; however, seeing that punch just now, he probably isn’t much weaker than the Second Grade."

To Zhou Zheng, a Third Grade doesn’t really catch his attention, but a Third Grade with the Divine Step was still respectable, which is why he specifically mentioned Chen Xuan among many Third Grade experts.

"By the way, Luo Tian, haven’t you been recruiting many experts lately? How’s it going? Has Xuan Er been recruited?"

Zhou Zheng suddenly brought up the matter in front of these people.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty!" Luo Tian said with a smile. Since it was brought up, there was nothing left to hide.

These were all reputable figures.

He disdained to resort to excuses.

"Of course, we attracted some, since we do have our benefits; this was why I insisted on bringing these experts to Yonghe Commandery back then."

"But as for Xuan Er," he paused there,

shaking his head helplessly, "it’s too difficult! I think only Your Majesty can succeed in recruiting him!"

How could he not want to recruit Xuan Er, but Cosine, that despicable person....

"Hmph!"

He let out a cold snort in his heart.

And he suspected that Mo Hua probably died at Xuan Er’s hand.

Truly more harm than good, seems like a lesson must be taught.

"Uncle Wang, you should pay him a visit later, if he can join Great Zhou, that would be best; if not, make sure to establish good relations. He is not an ordinary First Grade!"

Zhou Zheng emphasized this point.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of this after the event!" Zhou Yi replied respectfully.

Feeling increasingly satisfied with his performance, he seemed to have a budding emperor’s aura.

In mid-air.

Chen Xuan carefully collected all the Spiritual Raindrops from this area into a pre-prepared porcelain bottle, then placed the bottle into his chest.

He gained a considerable share in the first wave.

About a hundred or so drops, he alone took eighteen, nearly twenty percent.

He nodded with great satisfaction.

Then he looked toward other areas, of course with no intention of targeting those Spiritual Raindrops.

It was already plenty, taking more would easily arouse public anger.

Not good! Better to keep a low profile.

His gaze was attracted to a zone in front to the left at this moment.

"Those four seem to be disciples of those Ancient Clans!"

Though it was the feeling of them seemingly merging into one entity that truly drew him in.

Like an Array, but definitely not, as Spiritual Power couldn’t be released in this area.

"Must be due to their Cultivation Technique!"

After watching a while he had a rough guess.

Of course, all the Spiritual Raindrops in that area were taken up by those four.

Soon, the first wave of Spiritual Rain was almost gone.

However, compared to others, Chen Xuan only consumed one drop, and felt it was just so-so, while everyone who obtained the Spiritual Raindrops swallowed them immediately.

"Why didn’t you finish eating?"

At this moment, a woman not far away in red armor, holding a lance, her long black hair swirling, spoke.

She was truly striking!

Suddenly made him feel brightened!

"Saving it for others!" Chen Xuan replied.

"What?" The woman’s eyebrow raised slightly, clearly not believing his words.

These Spiritual Raindrops, a once in a lifetime opportunity, benefit the body and the conscious sea greatly, yet he said he’s saving it for others!

Then she ignored Chen Xuan and returned below.

"Uh~~~"

Chen Xuan was speechless, in this day and age, where’s the trust between people? No one believes the truth anymore.

The first wave of Spiritual Rain had been snatched up in just a moment as well.

So he also returned below since the second wave was estimated to be another hour away.

"Brother Xuan, you’re amazing!"

Just after he sat down, Su Yun looked at him with a face full of admiration; she was thrilled watching the scene just now.

One person took on four, and even injured that guy.

And those words, truly domineering!

"Alright, alright, hubby knows, open your mouth!"

"Huh?" Su Yun was suddenly dumbfounded!

"Open up!" Chen Xuan spoke again.

This time Su Yun cooperated by opening her mouth, only to see him take out the porcelain bottle from his embrace, leaving five drops, and feeding all the remaining Spiritual Raindrops into her mouth.

"Brother Xuan...."

The girl panicked; she wasn’t foolish, with so many experts fighting for those Spiritual Raindrops, they must be something good, and now Chen Xuan gave them to her, she hurriedly wanted to spit them back into his hand, into the bottle.

"Swallow it!"
