17: Yan Xuan

Chu Yuan continued to go to school to leech off the Energy Gathering Array.

He and Qi Da had long suspected that the killer might be from the school.

Since he had injured that killer yesterday, perhaps he could find him today... Once he found the person, that person would be dead!

Furthermore, this was not a very difficult task.

His spiritual energy was very special; he couldn't track it from far away, but once in close contact, he would be able to sense it immediately!

Unfortunately, after wandering around the school at noon, he didn't find anyone suspicious.

"Principal, did anyone ask for leave today?" Chu Yuan asked Qi Da directly.

He guessed that the killer might be one of the teachers.

Qi Da shook his head. "I already considered that; no teacher has asked for leave today."

"..."

Chu Yuan frowned. Could it be that the killer wasn't someone from the school? Was his and Qi Da's initial guess wrong?

After collecting a few more bottles of Medicinal Pill, Chu Yuan walked on campus, lost in thought.

Qi Da told him that the Zhenwu Bureau had intervened, and the nature of this case had changed.

But he also told him not to worry, as the Zhenwu Bureau was not afraid of the Li family and would not act recklessly under the Li family's pressure.

However, there was one thing Chu Yuan was still quite concerned about: it was now certain that the other party was targeting him.

If they couldn't find a Breakthrough from him, would they go after his family...

For people like this who would surely die if caught, they wouldn't care about the saying 'trouble does not reach the family'.

The sound of sweeping came from behind, and Chu Yuan instinctively moved out of the way.

A hunched figure holding a broom walked slowly past him.

It was that former Genius of the First High School...

His experience served as a warning to Chu Yuan, making him afraid to expose the ways in which he was different from ordinary Martial Artist.

He only packaged himself as an 'ordinary and unremarkable' martial arts Genius.

But... Chu Yuan suddenly constricted his pupils!

He sensed a familiar aura from this Janitor!

It couldn't be wrong! That was his own spiritual energy!

But he didn't smell any blood on him?

"Hey."

The hunched figure stopped, turned back to look at him, eyes numb.

"What is your name?"

But the other party ignored him, turned around, and continued sweeping on his own, appearing to be deaf.

Chu Yuan's gaze darkened, and he launched a fierce attack!

An afterimage flashed under his feet as he kicked directly at the other person's waist!

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan didn't feel any resistance; the other person was sent flying several meters by this powerful kick.

After a series of cracking sounds of bones breaking, the Janitor spat out blood and fell to the ground, his breathing faint...

"Chu Yuan! What are you doing!?" At this moment, Miao Jun, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, passed by. After shouting angrily, he rushed towards the Janitor.

"Yan Xuan! Are you okay?" He placed his hand on Yan Xuan's wrist, pouring his Inner Breath Realm energy in without reservation.

Strangely, the injuries inside Yan Xuan's body were not deep. Although a few bones were broken, his internal organs were not damaged...

Miao Jun was stunned for a moment, then felt it was normal.

After all, Chu Yuan had only been Cultivating for a little over a week and had just completed a Breakthrough to the Qi and Blood Realm, so his attack power was naturally not that strong...

"Yan Xuan, huh..." This was also the first time Chu Yuan knew the Janitor's name.

"Oh my god, is this Chu Yuan?"

"That's right, he is that Chu Yuan from Class 2..."

"Why did he attack that poor Janitor?"

"I don't know either, maybe he offended him..."

"Even if he offended him, he shouldn't have hit him so hard, right? His character must be flawed."

"Exactly, I used to admire him quite a bit, I didn't expect... Sigh!"

"So this Janitor is called Yan Xuan? This is my first time hearing that... He is truly pitiful."

"Stop talking, what if Chu Yuan goes crazy again and attacks us?"

"He wouldn't dare! The teacher is still here!"

With sharp hearing and clear sight, the whispers of the passing students were clearly transmitted to Chu Yuan's ears.

However, he didn't care; he just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Xuan, as if he wanted to see another face beneath this dead, numb expression.

His intuition would absolutely not be wrong!

There was indeed his own spiritual energy inside Yan Xuan's body! And it wasn't just simple contamination...

Perhaps stimulated by the surrounding students' discussions, a trace of emotion suddenly appeared in Yan Xuan's previously numb eyes.

It was shame, anger, and hatred!

He shook off Miao Jun's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine."

"How can you be fine... You must go to the hospital immediately!" Miao Jun said anxiously.

But Chu Yuan moved his feet to block their path: "You aren't going anywhere."

Miao Jun said angrily: "Chu Yuan! What exactly do you want to do!? Yan Xuan is just an ordinary person, how did he offend you!?"

Chu Yuan said calmly: "Teacher Miao, this doesn't concern you, you should go back to class."

Although Miao Jun had stopped Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan was not resentful.

After all, he didn't know that Yan Xuan had issues; he was just helping a 'poor person'.

On the contrary, Miao Jun staying by Yan Xuan's side might be dangerous...

Just as Miao Jun was about to say something, he suddenly saw Qi Da walking over hurriedly from a distance.

Taking steps of several dozen meters, he was already approaching in an instant!

He thought that even if Chu Yuan didn't respect him, he couldn't possibly disrespect the principal, right?

Regardless of anything else, what Chu Yuan did to Yan Xuan was truly too much...

He was about to stand up and take two steps forward to tell the principal about Chu Yuan's actions!

But just at this moment, a strong hand gripped his wrist tightly!

Miao Jun turned his head to look and saw Yan Xuan's face slightly twisted. He comforted him: "Yan Xuan, don't worry, the principal will definitely uphold justice for you!"

Who knew that Yan Xuan didn't even look at him, but stared fixedly at Chu Yuan.

"Are you so impatient to seek death..."

Chu Yuan's lips moved, and he spat out two words: "Idiot..."

Immediately, he took two steps back on his own.

Since Qi Da had arrived, there was no need for him to take action...

"Yan Xuan! Let go of Miao Jun!"

At this moment, Miao Jun finally felt that something was wrong.

Chu Yuan might be messing around, but the principal wouldn't mess around with him...

Also, what did 'let go of Miao Jun' mean?

Yan Xuan was just an ordinary person with his cultivation completely destroyed, and he was a genuine Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist! Who should be letting go of whom?

Just as he was about to struggle free, he realized that the hand on his wrist was tightening even more! It caused a chilling sound of bone cracking to come from his wrist!

Miao Jun looked at Yan Xuan in disbelief.

"Are you surprised? How can an 'ordinary person' like me have such strength?" Yan Xuan said with mockery.

"Aren't you warm-hearted? Then... help me one more time!"

Crack~!

Five fingers dug into his arm; in an instant, Miao Jun felt he couldn't exert any strength.

His Inner Breath, his blood... were pouring into Yan Xuan's body like a broken dam!

Just as he was in despair, a fist imprint smashed over!
