173: Spirit, unexpected effect

“Chu He, are you still making a futile struggle?”

“Back then, your parents were no match for the elders of our families, and neither are you today!”

“Even if you try your best, it’s impossible for you to escape our grasp. If I were you, I’d just give up this meaningless struggle.”

The Wen Family playboy mocked again.

He wasn’t in a hurry to kill Chu He; after all, Chu He’s fate was already sealed, and no one could save him.

Instead, he enjoyed the pleasure of playing with other people’s lives.

Especially when Chu He struggled endlessly, only to eventually realize that his struggles were meaningless, leading to despair. This gave the Wen Family playboy a sense of everything being under his control.

He wanted to torment Chu He little by little, making him feel despair. Only then could he feel how high and mighty he was.

“Your trash parents could only give birth to a trash child like you. Facing the descendants of those who killed your parents, you don’t even have the courage to resist, only to flee in a sorry state. If I were you, I’d just bash my head against the ground and die,”

The Xu Family playboy also mocked, finding this chase game truly interesting.

“Your elders are the trash! If they hadn’t ganged up on my parents back then, your elders would have died beyond dead long ago!”

Chu He couldn’t control his emotions and started cursing loudly.

Insult him, that was fine. He had endured countless insults before and could tolerate them.

But insulting his parents, that was not allowed!

Especially when it came from the descendants of his family’s sworn enemies, insulting his parents was something Chu He found even more unacceptable.

Chu He deeply resented his own incompetence.

If he had worked a little harder, if his strength had improved a little more, he wouldn’t be chased so frantically.

He might even be able to personally kill the two in front of him, first reclaiming a bit of interest from the Seven Great Powers.

He was too weak!

Chu He thought unwillingly.

But in fact, it was already very difficult for Chu He to possess his current combat power.

His family was destroyed, and he became an orphan from a young age, then sold into slavery.

Without resources, he was still able to step into the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm step by step. This was already a feat more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

If it were anyone else, their achievements could not possibly be higher than Chu He’s.

If Chu He’s starting point had been the same as the Wen Family playboy and Xu Family playboy, the latter would have no right to talk nonsense in front of him, unable to even withstand a single move from Chu He.

Chu He’s talent was not bad; it was just that the cultivation he received was not as good as theirs.

“Daydreaming! You can’t even defeat the two of us, yet you still dare to slander our elders?”

“It seems we’re still too lenient; you actually have the extra energy to spout such wild words!”

The two playboys flew into a rage.

A piece of trash whose family was destroyed, how dare he look down on their elders!

Most importantly, they also knew exactly what had happened back then.

Precisely because they knew, they also understood that what Chu He said was the truth.

If it weren’t for the Seven Great Powers joining forces, they really wouldn’t have been able to kill Chu He’s parents.

Lies don’t hurt people; truth is a sharp knife.

In their anger, the two playboys became serious.

They no longer thought about toying with Chu He, but instead wanted to kill him immediately.

Both attacked simultaneously, with a dazzling array of attacks emerging one after another, determined to kill Chu He on the spot.

Facing the attacks, Chu He would not sit and wait for death; he also went all out to resist.

In a desperate situation, he barely managed to block the attacks of the two playboys for a short time… On the other side.

First Zone.

“I’ll be responsible for searching the Second Zone! I’ll contact you as soon as I have any news!”

Chen Fang voluntarily stayed in the Second Zone.

Now with the sound transmission flower, they could contact each other anytime, anywhere, allowing them to act separately to search for everyone.

“Alright, I’ll take the Third Zone, Yi Yi the Fourth Zone, Zirou the Fifth Zone. Once the search is complete, we’ll use the sound transmission flower to report back to each other, then reassign search areas.”

Shen Xi immediately arranged the specific matters.

“No problem!”

“It’s decided.”

“If you encounter danger, you must also tell everyone immediately. We will rush over as soon as possible.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The area of each zone was simply too vast. Even though Martial Artist’s speed far exceeded ordinary people, it would still take a day to roughly search one zone.

And this was only a rough search, not including those dangerous areas.

“Everyone, thank you for your hard work!”

Shen Xi expressed his gratitude to everyone.

“You’re too kind. Fatty and the others are our friends too; finding them is what we should do.”

“Are you not treating us as friends, saying such things?”

“I don’t like hearing that!”

Everyone rolled their eyes, expressing dissatisfaction with Shen Xi’s gratitude.

Seeing this, Shen Xi said no more. According to the initial arrangement, they each headed to their assigned areas.

Arriving at the Third Zone.

Situ Ye had been following Shen Xi.

He didn’t have the ability to break through the Regional Barrier, nor was his strength sufficient to stand alone, so he naturally could only remain by Shen Xi’s side.

Looking at the boundless Third Zone, Situ Ye couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue: “Master, the scope of this zone is truly vast. Finding them will indeed be quite difficult.”

“No matter how difficult, we must find them. Since we formed an alliance before coming in, we cannot abandon any partner.”

Shen Xi spoke resolutely.

Saying this, he closed his eyes and released his Origin Qi outwards.

This was an ability Martial Artist’s mastered upon entering the Yuánqì Realm, using outward-released Origin Qi to explore the surrounding situation.

However, this method consumed a huge amount of Origin Qi, and the coverage of the Yuánqì Realm was only a hundred meters in radius. Unless it was used for warning during Cultivate, Martial Artist’s generally wouldn’t use this method to explore their surroundings.

Once one entered the Acquired Realm, the coverage would increase tenfold, reaching a thousand meters in radius.

With Shen Xi’s current Houtian Huajin Realm, the coverage was even as high as five thousand meters in radius.

But when Shen Xi actually released his Origin Qi, he surprisingly found that his coverage far exceeded his estimation.

Every rustle within a ten-thousand-meter radius was under his control!

“Spirit has this effect too?”

Shen Xi quickly realized what was going on.

The Spirit once again displayed unexpected effects.

As the purest energy between heaven and earth, Spirit also enhanced Origin Qi outward release. Originally, Shen Xi could at most cover a five-thousand-meter radius, but due to the Spirit, it directly reached ten thousand meters in radius.

Furthermore, Shen Xi unexpectedly discovered that his Origin Qi consumption rate also significantly decreased. Originally, he could only maintain it for five minutes, but now it could last for at least half an hour.
