111: Iron Pagoda!

That night, Chen Heng slept soundly after a long time.

He usually rested by cultivating the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art, and it had been a long time since he had experienced true sleep.

Feeling refreshed, Chen Heng was in a great mood. After getting up, he immediately consumed the remaining twenty-eight portions of blood refining powder from yesterday.

As the medicinal power of the blood refining powder was activated, Chen Heng's cultivation also increased from one hundred seventy-three years to two hundred one years.

He was not far from the Houtian Realm.

It was estimated that he should be able to Breakthroug h to Houtian before Qi Longhu returned.

"The road ahead is long and arduous."

Chen Heng's progress was not slow, but even if he Broke through to Houtian, there were still four major Realms awaiting him.

Only when he Broke through to the Celestial Realm would Chen Heng be qualified to rest.

"What will come after the Celestial Realm?"

Chen Heng pondered while washing his face.

Although Chen Heng had never heard of a Celestial existing in Great Liang, one might pop out from some corner.

"Why think so much? Let's Break through to Houtian first."

Wiping his face dry, Chen Heng changed into his most frequently worn clothes.

The weather was getting colder day by day; autumn was not far off.

At the dining table, the family ate breakfast 'harmoniously'.

Jing Fan was still a little afraid of Chen Heng and dared not make eye contact with him.

Chen Tianer was different. Apart from the first day when she was unfamiliar with Chen Heng, the Little Girl became increasingly clingy to him.

"Big Brother! I want a steamed bun!"

The Little Girl pointed at the large meat bun on the table and pouted at Chen Heng.

"Tianer, can't you get it yourself?" Jing Fan quickly picked up a bun and placed it in Chen Tianer's bowl.

"young master, please don't be angry. Tianer is still young and doesn't understand..."

Chen Heng waved his hand, signaling Jing Fan not to mind.

"It's alright, I quite like the Little Girl Tianer."

Chen Heng smiled at Chen Tianer, and the Little Girl's pouting mouth immediately curved upwards.

"Jing Fan, I've actually always wanted to ask, why are you so afraid of my son?"

Chen Fugui had been puzzled by this for a long time.

Yes, Chen Heng's methods were ruthless, leaving almost no survivors, but that was for outsiders.

Chen Heng had always been extremely good to his family, never once showing anger.

"I, I'm not afraid of young master."

Jing Fan was startled and cautiously glanced at Chen Heng.

"Forget it, Dad, it's too short a time and she's not familiar yet."

Chen Heng put three large buns into Chen Fugui's bowl, implying that he should stop talking.

"You two figure it out yourselves, I won't interfere."

Chen Fugui was actually just curious and didn't care about these matters.

What he truly valued were Chen Heng and Chen Tianer; Jing Fan was to be ranked second.

As for why Jing Fan was so afraid of Chen Heng, it was naturally because she knew about the things he did outside.

In Jing Fan's eyes, this young master Chen Heng was not someone easy to get along with.

She even thought that Chen Heng would strangle her and her daughter if he was displeased.

Who knows which scoundrel spread such rumors? How could Chen Heng be such a brutal and vicious person?

It shouldn't be... After breakfast, Chen Heng planned to visit the Lou Clan Blacksmith Shop.

The iron futu and long spear he had previously ordered were due for delivery today.

But before Chen Heng could leave the house, their doorman came running to find Chen Heng.

"young master, the Lou Clan Blacksmith Shop said they're here to deliver your goods."

"It's a huge carriage, pulled by four ordinary horses."

"And the person driving the carriage is not ordinary; I saw my legs trembling."

"I understand." Chen Heng nodded, knowing that Xu Lieying had sent someone to deliver the goods.

Stepping out of the courtyard gate, Chen Heng immediately saw the person the doorman spoke of, the one who made him tremble.

It was Xu Lieying.

"Chen Heng! Your iron futu is ready, come and try it?"

Xu Lieying seemed to be in a very good mood, probably because he had Broke through to Houtian.

"Thanks to the qi and blood decoction you gave me, I was able to Break through to Houtian."

"So I spent a lot of silver to add some extra material to your iron futu."

"Originally, after refining the raw iron you gave me into thousand-refined steel, there was only over three hundred catties left, so I added some more for you."

"Now this set of iron futu weighs a full five hundred fifty catties, plus that long spear, it's a total of eight hundred catties!"

"I know you're strong, so I also used some good material for the long spear."

As Xu Lieying spoke, he opened the box at the back of the carriage, revealing the iron futu and the finely crafted steel long spear inside.

Chen Heng's eyes lit up; this iron futu truly suited his taste.

Although its practical value wasn't immense, this thing was cool!

"Quick, quick, quick, put it on, let me see."

Xu Lieying rubbed his hands; he was also somewhat anticipating how Chen Heng would look in the iron futu.

Chen Heng grabbed the body armor of the iron futu and lifted the five hundred fifty catties of heavy armor just like that.

The doorman behind him nearly had his eyes pop out; this steel armor would probably crush him to death.

Somewhat awkwardly, Chen Heng put on the set of iron futu, leaving only his eyes exposed.

"Catch the spear!"

Xu Lieying grabbed the finely crafted steel long spear and threw it to Chen Heng.

With a dull thud, the bluestone slab beneath Chen Heng's feet actually cracked.

The moment Chen Heng's hand touched the finely crafted steel long spear, his body naturally began to practice the Hegemon Spear Technique.

The Hegemon Spear Technique was extremely rigid and fierce, without any flashy or intricate Moves.

With an upward thrust, the spear tip directly tore through the air, and even the ground was ripped open with a deep gash by the residual force.

Chen Heng was merely practicing; he hadn't even used one percent of his strength.

After he finished practicing the extremely simple three Moves of the Hegemon Spear Technique, the surrounding ground looked as if it had been plowed.

"Hoo..."

Chen Heng sighed, resting the long spear on his shoulder.

Through this practice, Chen Heng finally understood one thing thoroughly.

The power of the Hegemon Spear Technique lay not in its Moves, but in its amplification of strength.

Chen Heng's current strength was terrifying, and even he himself didn't know his own limits.

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause rang out beside Chen Heng, and Xu Lieying looked at Chen Heng with approving eyes.

"Good, good, good! I'll get myself a set like this too!"

Xu Lieying looked at Chen Heng with increasing fondness, his eyes sparkling.

"Many thanks, Hall Master Xu."

Chen Heng, wearing the iron futu, clasped his hands together with force, producing the sound of metal clashing.

"Thanks for what? It's just a set of steel armor."

Xu Lieying shook his head and sat down on the carriage.

"Thanks to you, Old Wang Ba and I were able to Break through to Houtian."

"Let me discuss something with you, listen to this."

"Hall Master Xu, please speak if you have something to say."

Chen Heng plunged the long spear into the ground and walked up to Xu Lieying.

"I see your spear technique is also very sharp. How about we spar?"

Xu Lieying's gaze suddenly became sharp, like a gleaming spear tip.

"Of course, it's not a fight to the death. We'll stop before anyone gets seriously hurt."

"Hall Master Xu, I might not be very convenient these past two days." Chen Heng shook his head, politely declining Xu Lieying's invitation.

"What, do you think me sparring with you with Houtian strength is bullying you?"

Xu Lieying even used a taunt to provoke Chen Heng into sparring.

"Of course not, because I'm about to reach Houtian myself."
