116: Chapter 116 Chen An's Weakness?!

Inside the underground cavern!

The sky-shattering killing intent tore through the air like a physical force. The temperature of the entire underground cavern plummeted to freezing point, and even the originally churning blood pool condensed a thin layer of blood-ice at this moment.

"Fist Intent... He actually managed to comprehend Fist Intent..."

He muttered to himself, his voice raspy as if scraped by sandpaper.

The eyes beneath the hood had long lost their usual sinister calmness, leaving only pure shock and madness.

He knew too well what comprehending a Martial Dao Concept meant.

Ordinary Martial Artists might not even touch the threshold of a "Concept" in their entire lives.

Even he, the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master, had only cultivated the Blood Evil Concept of the 《Blood Demon Great Method》 to the Form-Shaping Stage after 163 years of bitter cultivation.

Back then, it took him nearly thirty years just to Cultivate the Blood Evil Concept of the 《Blood Demon Great Method》 to the Entry Stage.

Principal Beigong Mo, as the Prefecture Head of Chengtian Prefecture and a Great Grandmaster at the Perfection of the Great Grandmaster Realm, only managed to comprehend a trace of Nine Suns Fist Intent after reaching his seventies.

And Instructor Lin Chengyuan, that Saber King hailed as the greatest genius in a thousand years in Qingzhou, was already fifty when he comprehended the Extinction Blade Intent.

But what about Chen An?

A student of the County Academy, at most seventeen or eighteen years old!

Two days to reach the Entry Stage of the Extinction Blade Intent, one hour to master the Heaven Rank top-tier Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist, and he even managed to comprehend a trace of Fist Intent along the way!

This could no longer be described as a Prodigy!

This was simply a monster that defied the common sense of Martial Dao!!!

He had spent over a hundred years of bitter cultivation to reach this step today.

Yet this youth, in less than three days, had traversed a path that countless Martial Artists would never be able to finish, or even touch, in their entire lives!

What about in another year?!

What about in another three years?!

I'm afraid by then, I wouldn't even be qualified to tie Chen An's shoelaces!

"No! I absolutely will not allow it!"

"This child must not be allowed to live any longer!"

Blood light flickered in the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice:

"You did the right thing. This Chen An's talent is too monstrous; he is simply a monster!"

"We absolutely cannot let him grow like this, otherwise, this child will definitely become a major threat to our Sacred Sect in the future!"

"Jiang Yichen, do you know if this Chen An has any weaknesses?!"

"I want to find a weakness that can lure him out of the Prefectural Academy!"

Jiang Yichen was slightly taken aback, then crawled up and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully, "Hall Master, please forgive me, but your subordinate does not know much about this Chen An."

"However, if you want to lure Chen An out of the Prefectural Academy, your subordinate has thought of a way!"

"Your subordinate heard that Chen An has a childhood sweetheart named Shen Qinglan, who is the daughter of Shen Zongyue of the Shen Family's second branch, and her cultivation is around the Acquired Realm."

"If we can capture Shen Qinglan, we should be able to lure him out of the Prefectural Academy!"

"However, Shen Zongyue is a Grandmaster Realm expert, and the Old Ancestor of the Shen Family is a Great Grandmaster Realm expert, so this matter..."

"A mere Grandmaster Martial Artist, dealing with him is as easy as flipping my hand!"

The Blood Demon Sect Hall Master interrupted Jiang Yichen's words abruptly, and a cold sneer came from under the hood, filled with undisguised contempt and killing intent.

"As for the Shen Family's Old Ancestor, Shen Canglan, he is just an old thing with half his body already in the grave!"

"Never mind one Shen Canglan, what if we add those two old rascals, Principal Beigong Mo and Instructor Lin Chengyuan?!"

"If they all come, it just so happens that I have prepared a gift for them!"

"Since they can use Chen An as bait to kill my Sacred Sect Disciples, then I will return the favor in kind!"

"Blood Shadow!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said.

"Your subordinate is here!" The sect Disciple, who was originally standing to the side wearing blood-colored tight-fitting clothes and standing motionless, stepped out and knelt down respectfully.

"Take twenty Blood Evil Guards to the vicinity and capture ten thousand people here. Don't make too much of a commotion!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said coldly.

"Yes, Hall Master!" The sect Disciple named Blood Shadow cupped his hands in a salute, then got up and went out.

"Blood Slaughter!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said again.

"Your subordinate is here!" Another sect Disciple stood out and knelt down.

"Take ten Blood Evil Guards and go with Jiang Yichen to the Shen Family. Before tomorrow morning, bring that girl named Shen Qinglan back to me!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master said.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys!"

"Go!" The Blood Demon Sect Hall Master waved his hand.

The cavern returned to deathly silence, with only the sound of ice cracking occasionally from the blood pool.

The Blood Demon Sect Hall Master stood alone by the blood pool, looking at his blurry reflection in the water, and slowly took off his hood.

It was an old and ferocious face, covered with crisscrossing scars, the most prominent of which was the scar extending from his forehead to his chin.

His eyes had completely turned into an eerie blood color, with no white visible at all. His entire face was full of ravines, and the old scars from being slashed by a saber twisted hideously, looking exactly like an evil ghost that had crawled out of Hell.

"Heh! Heh! Heh!!~~"

The harsh, strange laughter echoed back and forth in the empty underground cavern, shaking the gravel on the four walls to fall down, and the churning blood pool also stirred up layers of turbid waves.

"Instructor Lin Chengyuan, Principal Beigong Mo, you two rely on your high cultivation to repeatedly ruin my Sacred Sect's major affairs. Tomorrow will be your death day!" the Blood Demon Sect Hall Master looked up and laughed wildly, his voice wrapped in bone-chilling resentment...

...

"Achoo! Achoo!~~"

The eighth floor of the Prefectural Academy Library!

Chen An, who was originally reading an Incomplete Manual of a Heaven Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique called 《Blazing Flame Body Tempering Art》, suddenly felt his nose itch and couldn't help but sneeze twice.

"Sneezing repeatedly for no reason, is someone missing me behind my back?!"

"Could it be her?!"

Chen An rubbed the tip of his nose, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his lips unconsciously, with the image of Shen Qinglan appearing in his mind instantly.

Shaking his head, he cast away this groundless thought in his mind and looked at the Incomplete Manual of the 《Blazing Flame Body Tempering Art》 in his hand again, his mouth twitching slightly.

Previously, he thought that the Prefectural Academy's Library should have countless books, with Heaven Rank and Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques readily available, and maybe even a King Rank or even an Emperor Rank technique hidden away.

However, after arriving here, he realized he had thought too much.

He had just gone up to the ninth floor, and it was completely empty inside. Not to mention King Rank or Emperor Rank Cultivation Techniques, even Heaven Rank ones only had a few Incomplete Manuals in this Library.

Even on the eighth floor, the total number of books was not even twenty, and there were only seven Cultivation Techniques.

《Blazing Flame Body Tempering Art》, 《Myriad Phenomena Green Wood Technique》, 《Cold River Ice Sealing Scripture》, 《Burning Heaven Extinguishing Sea Art》, 《Thick Earth Undying Body》, 《Mad Thunder Exterminating Demon Art》, 《Mysterious Gold Metal Evil Art》!

These were all the Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques on the entire eighth floor, and all of them were incomplete.

He didn't really care about this.

With the existence of the System, even if only one or two tenths remained, he could deduce them with the System.

[Ding!!!]

[System upgrade complete!!!]
