Overriding the Heaven

"Hmm?" Seeing Su Jianyuan's strange expression, Chu Yan asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"    

Su Jianyuan's expression was somewhat anxious, "Junior Brother Chu, have you ever offended an outer sect disciple called Mei Yunpeng before?"    

"What happened to him?" Chu Yan became increasingly suspicious, "He probably hasn't offended anyone."    

"That's good, but —"    

Su Jianyuan had just let out a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Yan continue, "To be exact, it should be because he hates me to the bones."    

"Huh?" Su Jianyuan was so surprised that his mouth was wide open, big enough to fit inside an egg.    

"What, what's going on?" Su Jianyuan stammered.    

"Isn't that what I should be asking you?" Chu Yan laughed: "It's not a big deal. Senior Brother Su, tell me what happened first."    

In the last competition over Wangnv Peak's rewards, Mei Yunhe had only targeted Chu Yan, so the only ones who knew of the conflict between Chu Yan and the Mei brothers were Su Yuqing, Fan Cheng and the others.    

Su Jianyuan and the rest, but they were still unaware.    

But now, Su Jianyuan and the others actually knew about it. Chu Yan immediately understood what kind of reaction he must have had after getting cheated by him yesterday.    

"It's like this." Calming himself down, Su Jianyuan said: "That Mei Yunpeng released a message yesterday. If anyone can break one of your legs or hands during the Sky Han City Ruins' competition, he will reward them with fifty spirit stones, and he himself also said that he will cripple you, so that you won't be able to take another step forward in your entire life."    

"Did he really say that?" Chu Yan's eyes flashed as he asked curiously.    

"Absolutely!" Su Jianyuan's face had a look of worry, "Mei Yunpeng is only at the large success stage of Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, in truth there is nothing to worry about, but his little brother is an incredible figure."    

Because Su Jianyuan was worried about Chu Yan, he kept talking endlessly. In his heart, Chu Yan kept sneering for Mei Yunpeng.    

"Ever since the last time, Mei Yunhe had always been a man with his tail between his legs. Yet you dare to say such words at this time, and even made it so that everyone knows, I do not even need to do anything now, Mei Yunhe will only let you lose a layer of skin. "    

Chu Yan thought in his heart as he consoled Su Jianyuan, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Su. Nothing will happen to you.    

"What you said makes sense, but it's better to be a bit careful. According to what I know, Mei Yunpeng doesn't have a good reputation among the outer sect disciples. "But Junior Chu, you don't have to be afraid. None of us are weak, and whoever wants to harm you will do so on our own, and even if it is Mei Yunhe, we are not afraid. Could it be that Mei Yunhe has never heard of anything called 'Do not look down on a young person's poverty', or 'Thirty Years in the East and Thirty Years in the West'?"    

At this time, Chu Yan really wanted to tell Su Jianyuan not to bully a youngster's poverty, because Mei Yunhe was younger than them.    

Another thing was, the last time he went to Shen Qing's house, a young man said the same words to him. He thought that he was the main character in the novel, but he was cut into two.    

Some things, before they succeed, really shouldn't be spoken carelessly.    

However, seeing that Su Jianyuan was so loyal, Chu Yan did not try to hurt his motivation.    

After conversing with Su Jianyuan for a while longer, Chu Yan bid his farewell and headed towards the Star Refining Valley to continue his cultivation.    

At this moment, Chu Yan had already guessed that Xu Ya, Jiang Panmeng and the others coming to find him was not only because of the rules of the competition, but was also because of his thoughts.    

The concern of everyone towards him made Chu Yan's heart warm.    

Now that he thought about it, entering the Shattered Star Pavilion, becoming a cultivator was an important turning point in his life, and being a strong group of like-minded and fearless companions, wasn't that the same as well?    

At this moment, Chu Yan could even conclude that if he were to encounter any danger in the future, the most trustworthy people would be his friends.    

With his mind occupied, Chu Yan's footsteps did not stop. Not long after, he arrived at the fire stream of the Star Refining Valley.    

Sure enough, the person who was on duty today was that disciple from yesterday.    

Originally, when Chu Yan hadn't come to the apprentice on duty in the morning, he would have to rest for at least five or six days when he thought of the weak state the other party was in yesterday.    

As a result, not long after noon, Chu Yan appeared in a state of high spirits. He did not look weak at all like the one he had yesterday.    

apprentice on duty was both shocked and impressed, his speech and attitude toward Chu Yan immediately became more respectful.    

"I'm cultivating a bit later today, two hours more than yesterday." After Chu Yan finished saying his request, he once again arrived in front of the Seventh Area's gate.    

"Yesterday, I suffered so much. Today, I need to see the results."    

Chu Yan took a deep breath and walked in with large strides.    

The door slammed shut.    

The purple flames that he was still familiar with pounced towards him, causing the corner of Chu Yan's mouth to rise slightly. He didn't even extend his hand today, but directly sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing the flames to cover his entire body.    

Intense pain spread throughout his body the moment the flames touched his skin.    

Chu Yan frowned, clenching his teeth tightly, his body also trembled uncontrollably.    

These were instinctive reactions to pain.    

However, Chu Yan could clearly feel that the pain he felt today was much less than yesterday.    

"Sure enough, immortal demon body is not only able to defend against physical attacks from blades and swords, they also have an unceasingly increasing defense against this kind of strange fire!" Chu Yan was ecstatic.    

After this discovery was proven, Chu Yan's mood immediately became a lot more relaxed, and in an instant, even the pain on his body was alleviated.    

Yesterday, when the first wave of nether fire was extinguished, Chu Yan was already exhausted and directly collapsed on the ground.    

But today, after the first wave of flames had been extinguished, Chu Yan was still like a boulder as he sat cross-legged and meditated. Moreover, the sweat that surged from his body was not as frightening as the day before.    

"Yesterday, I endured a total of four waves of flames. Let's see how many waves I can endure today."    

The performance after the first wave made Chu Yan completely confident in his abilities.    

When the second wave of flames ended, Chu Yan gasped for breath. Although he was still sitting, he was already on the verge of collapse, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.    

"I... I can still persevere a bit more. "    

Chu Yan struggled to open his eyes and braced himself up. He looked towards the third wave of nether fire.    

"The third wave!"    

The purple flames once again covered his entire body.    

Compared to the first wave, Chu Yan felt that the pain was twenty to thirty times worse.    

He was in so much pain that he wanted to roll on the ground, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.    

At the same time, an extremely strange feeling rose from his spine all the way to the top of his head, as if something was about to spew out!
