Chapter 77 Flame Demon Battle Blade

The breakthrough pill, when taken by a Late Stage Martial Artist below the 5th rank, can directly elevate them by one major Realm.

As long as one's own cultivation reaches the Late Stage of ranks 1-4, taking the breakthrough pill will allow them to directly Breakthrough to the next rank.

Therefore, it is generally most cost-effective for a 4th rank Late Stage Martial Artist to take it.

Through this Medicinal Pill reward, one can understand the thoughtful intentions of the competition organizers.

In previous Martial Arts School Ranking Tournaments, the strongest participants were mostly at the 4th rank Late Stage, or 4th rank Peak, or limit.

The winner taking a breakthrough pill can immediately raise their cultivation to the 5th rank.

"I don't need the breakthrough pill for now."

Chu Han pondered in his heart, taking the wooden box from the host's hand.

His true cultivation still remains at the 2nd rank limit, about to Breakthrough to the 3rd rank.

So he still plans to wait until his own cultivation Breaks through to the 4th rank before making any decisions.

Next, there were some concluding procedures for the competition.

After everything ended, Gao Jun also transferred the 3 million yuan final payment into the accounts of Chu Han and the other two.

"Chu Han, I've booked a private room at Tianhai Hotel. Let's all celebrate together tonight!"

The Gao Family warmly invited everyone.

But Chu Han refused, "I have some matters to attend to, so I won't be going."

Gao Jun was somewhat disappointed. Without Chu Han, this celebration would lack Soul.

But he still smiled and said, "Alright then. If the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall gives you trouble, be sure to tell me. Although my strength is not as great as yours, I can still help!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Han smiled: "If needed, I will contact Hall Master Gao."

Given Lan Kui's personality, the War Hammer Martial Arts Hall is certainly on his grudge list as well.

But Chu Han didn't want his feud with Lan Kui to affect others, so he directly parted ways with Gao Jun and the others.

By now, it was nearly evening, and he first prepared to go home.

Just as he entered the residential area, he received a message on his communicator.

It turned out that the flame demon battle saber he exchanged with his military merits had been delivered.

Soon after, a fully armed military vehicle drove to the main gate of the Linjiang Community.

The military vehicle opened, and two Soldiers responsible for escorting the flame demon battle saber got out.

Chu Han waved his hand and stepped forward to greet them.

"Chu Han?"

"That's me."

The two Soldiers quickly confirmed Chu Han's identity, then handed him a large box.

After signing and accepting it, Chu Han eagerly took the large box back home.

"Xiao Han is back. Why did you bring such a big box? Is it a reward from the competition you participated in?"

As soon as he entered, his father asked excitedly.

"You know I went to participate in a competition?"

Chu Han looked surprised. He hadn't even told his parents about participating in the competition.

"Don't forget your dad used to be involved with martial arts halls. I also follow the annual Martial Arts School Ranking Tournament."

Chu Zhan said with a smile, taking out a tablet to show Chu Han. "Your mom and I didn't go to the venue, but various hot topics about the Martial Arts School Ranking Tournament have already made it into the top ten on Jiangcheng City's trending list. Several of the top ones are discussing you."

Chu Han took a look. The first item was news about himself.

"[Shocking! An 18-year-old youth dominates the Martial Arts School Ranking Tournament. Who exactly is Chu Han?]"

Looking further down, there were three more trending topics about himself, one of which was about the feud between him and the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall.

"It seems I've become completely famous in Jiangcheng City."

Chu Han scratched his head.

As long as it doesn't disturb his life and Cultivation, he doesn't care about such things.

"The feud between you and Lan Kui has reached a point of life and death. I didn't expect things to develop this quickly."

When Chu Zhan talked about the enmity between Chu Han and Lan Kui, he couldn't help but feel worried, his voice becoming heavy.

"Dad, it's fine. Why don't you see what I brought back instead?"

Chu Han said with a smile, raising the box in his hand.

Seeing that Chu Han didn't want to continue discussing the matter, Chu Zhan didn't press further.

Instead, he asked curiously, "What's inside? So mysterious."

Chu Han smiled without answering, placed the box on the ground, and slowly opened it.

Immediately, a gentle warmth emanated.

Both father and son felt a wave of warmth.

Inside the box lay a completely black Battle Saber, with dark red patterns carved on the blade's surface.

The warmth was emanating from the blade.

"This is a fire attribute Yuanli weapon!"

As a former Martial Artist, Chu Zhan was quite knowledgeable and immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this saber.

"Correct. This saber was exchanged with the military merits I earned from the last army mission."

Chu Han explained with a smile.

"Excellent saber!"

Chu Zhan stroked the blade with his hand and exclaimed in admiration.

Chu Zhan then saw two large characters engraved on the blade: "Flame Demon".

"flame demon battle saber! An S-grade weapon!"

Chu Zhan immediately became agitated.

"Back in my day, all my assets combined couldn't buy a Yuanli weapon, let alone an S-grade flame demon battle saber! Even in the entire Jiangcheng City, the number of Martial Artists who can afford weapons of this level can be counted on one hand! My son has really made it!"

Chu Zhan was extremely excited, his face full of pride.

"Quick, try out this saber."

"Mm."

Chu Han reached out and took the flame demon battle saber.

Holding it in his hand, a warm current immediately flowed from the blade into his palm.

This warm current circulated once through his body before returning to the blade.

This is one of the characteristics of Yuanli weapons.

The flame demon battle saber weighed around 500 jin, but to Chu Han, this weight was negligible.

He took the flame demon battle saber in his hand, swung it a few times, and found it very comfortable.

He then channeled the fire attribute Yuanli from within his body into the flame demon battle saber. The dark red patterns on the blade's surface immediately brightened, and the blade emitted astonishing heat.

"Truly an excellent saber!"

Chu Han exclaimed in admiration.

He discovered that the heat emitted by the blade far exceeded what his injected fire attribute Yuanli could produce!

The fire attribute Yuanli he injected had already been amplified by the flame demon battle saber!

He then channeled the flames of the Star-Burning Flame into it. The flames on the blade instantly became extremely violent, and the heat soared.

This saber also had an amplifying effect on his innate flames.

"In my hands, you will not disgrace the name Flame Demon!"

Chu Han said solemnly, then stored the saber in his spatial storage.

In the evening, the Family had dinner together.

Chu Han enjoyed the rare warm moment.

At the dinner table, his mother Zhang Meilan brought up the matter of the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall again.

"Let's wait until after the Martial Arts Grand Examination. I don't want this to affect my mindset."

Chu Han used the Martial Arts Grand Examination as a shield and casually responded with a few words.

Neither of his parents understood his thoughts.

Late at night, Chu Han suddenly withdrew from his Mental Energy Cultivation and abruptly opened his eyes.

He took out the Shape-Shifting Mask he had drawn today and put it on.

With a thought, the mask on his face immediately transformed into the appearance of a blue-faced, fanged Yaksha.

The moonlight from outside the window shone on his face, making him appear even more terrifying and sinister.

"I'll use this appearance."

His voice also changed to a sinister, hoarse tone.

He then changed into black clothes, pushed open the window, and jumped down from over a dozen stories high.

Soon, his figure disappeared into the night.

Jiangcheng City at night was still incredibly bustling.

Chu Han moved through the steel jungle, unnoticed by anyone.

Tianxing Bay Villa District is the most luxurious residential area in Jiangcheng City.

Each standalone villa here is worth hundreds of millions.

Only those from major Families and powerful organizations live here.

As a prominent Family in Jiangcheng City and the owner of the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall, the Lan Family's villa is naturally extremely imposing.

On a hill on the west side of Tianxing Bay, there is only one villa, which belongs to the Lan Family.

However, at this moment, everyone in the Lan Family was not doing well.

The entire villa was filled with a stifling atmosphere.

Lan Kui paced back and forth in the hall with a gloomy expression, constantly dialing on his communicator.

"Hello, Hall Master Li, you must speak on my behalf regarding the Bai Family matter..."

"Brother Zhang, we have a life-and-death friendship. How can our cooperation end just like that?"

"President Wang, that matter we previously discussed..."

With each number dialed, Lan Kui's expression grew darker.

"Damn it, they're all just a bunch of profit-driven bastards!"

Lan Kui let out roars of anger.

Because the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall lost its first-place position, many of its external partners tore up their contracts and actively breached agreements.

And because of the Bai Xiao incident, many friends and brothers also cut ties with him.

The Bai Family matter still needed to be resolved by himself.

"Chu Han, don't think you'll get off easy."

Lan Kui looked out the window, his mind filled with thoughts of revenge against Chu Han.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted in the villa.

The villa's front door flew into the hall at high speed.

Immediately after, a black figure appeared at the villa entrance.

"Lan Kui, your time of death has come."
