541: Chapter 541 Warm-up

Half a year later.

Nothing major had happened in the entire Southern Border. The war seemed to have truly come to a halt, and everywhere was busy either recovering industries or dealing with business.

Liu Xuan had finished preparing for his Nascent Soul Formation and was just waiting for that little spark of opportunity.

The Heaven-Seizing One-Qi Creation Technique had already spread throughout the Liu Clan School, driving many ambitious Cultivators within the Merchant Alliance to begin learning it. Once the first batch of Cultivators who successfully refined the true Qi showcased their abilities, it would spread on a large scale within two years.

Liu Xuan had been living quite freely lately. Since his number of offspring had reached one thousand, at his current rate of twenty to thirty per year, it would take decades to receive the next reward.

Consequently, he no longer wanted to push himself, turning his focus instead to the quality of his children and enjoying life.

Achievements based on the number of offspring required more contributions from Family members, so he shifted from his working mode to a boss mode where he did things only when he wanted to.

However, Liu Xuan possessed the True Dragon Bloodline, and the fire in his body was extremely vigorous. Even though he didn't demand as much of himself as before, Concubines in the Liu estate were still constantly becoming pregnant, and the rate hadn't dropped much compared to before.

Outer courtyard of the Liu estate.

Shen Yunshu was leading a few Foundation Establishment disciples of the Liu Family, including Fourth Brother Dao Cheng and Ninth Son Dao Zhen, along with numerous guards with different surnames, in practicing the thousand star flying sword array.

Shen Yunshu was a Peak Golden Core Sword Cultivator. Under the enhancement of the thousand star flying sword array, while she couldn't compare to a Nascent Soul True Lord, she still had a chance to trade a few blows.

Generally, no Nascent Soul True Lord would come to cause trouble in the Star Academy, so Shen Yunshu could handle all the security issues within the city herself.

"Hum~"

Countless thousand star flying swords lit up with sword light, forming a sword domain with power sufficient to suppress any Golden Core True Person.

Above the sword domain, a seemingly weathered young man suddenly appeared. With his appearance, the sword domain began to expand rapidly, soon manifesting a heaven-piercing sword light that seemed to stab into the stars overhead.

The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator Chen Beiming. With the war on the front lines stable, Liu Xuan had recalled him to be responsible for the daily protection of the Star Academy.

The Liu Family's business was growing larger and larger, and there were no shortage of jealous people. There were always those who liked to make trouble, and Chen Beiming was the fastest blade in Liu Xuan's hand at the moment; most of the killing and arson were done by him.

Chen Beiming was not old among Nascent Soul Cultivators. After learning about the Heaven-Seizing One-Qi secret technique, he took the initiative to request to learn it.

Although he hadn't completely converted his Nascent Soul mana into Nascent Soul true Qi, he had already entered the threshold, and his overall strength had increased by twenty percent. Combined with the sword array, even ordinary Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators were no match for him.

Star Immortal City City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Xuan and An Yunmiao stood side by side, both watching the power of the sword array.

"The Fourth Elder's sword Dao Realm has improved again. I'm afraid even my father might not be his match now!" Yun Miao exclaimed.

"Is that so?" Liu Xuan smiled. "Senior Sister can even understand the Realm of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator?"

Yun Miao glanced at Liu Xuan. "It's still better than you. At the very least, I am a Named Disciple valued by Lady Yaoguang. If I don't have the Realm, surely I still have the eye for it?"

Liu Xuan shook his head. "Eye for it requires the support of Realm. Without the Realm, what you see is ultimately just the surface."

"You..."

Yun Miao felt that Liu Xuan had become increasingly presumptuous lately, not giving her any Face at all.

"You have a high Realm!" She laughed in anger, pointing to the fatty curled up and sleeping below. "Didn't you say you could defeat the fatty by crossing a Realm? Prove it to me, and I'll admit you have a high Realm!"

"I don't believe it. You, a Golden Core True Person, can actually cross a major Realm to fight a Nascent Soul Demon Lord!"

"Too small, your perspective is too small!" Liu Xuan looked at Yun Miao sincerely. "Actually... I've already defeated many Nascent Soul Demon Lords. Not just Nascent Soul Demon Lords, I've even defeated Nascent Soul ghost Cultivators!"

Liu Xuan wasn't lying. Yun Yao, Bai Jie, Peach Blossom, and even the recent You Ruo, which one of them wasn't completely submissive to him?

"Proving it to you is fine, but Senior Sister, you must remember your original promise!"

Without waiting for Yun Miao to speak, Liu Xuan raised his hand to cast a spell. With a flash of spatial fluctuation, the two of them arrived at the Star Palace in the sky.

Just as Yun Miao was about to ask a question, she saw another spatial vortex appear in front of them, and the fatty's massive bear body emerged from it.

"What for?" The fatty rubbed his eyes. Being disturbed while sleeping made him very dissatisfied, and he looked at Liu Xuan fiercely.

"Nothing much, your Young Miss wants me to beat you up," Liu Xuan smiled.

"Why are you beating me up?" The fatty touched his head in confusion, looking around. "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you control the great array. Believe it or not, I'll smash your great array to pieces!"

"No need for the great array, let's have a fair fight!"

The fatty was stunned for a moment and looked at Yun Miao on the side. "Young Miss, has he gone crazy?"

After saying that, he reached out and pointed to his own head, hinting that Liu Xuan's brain had problems.

Yun Miao looked at Liu Xuan, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she instructed the fatty: "Use your full strength, just don't take his life."

The fatty touched his head, feeling that the Young Miss had also gone crazy. How could he not take his life if he used his full strength?

"Liu Xuan, why don't we just forget it? You've been good to me, I don't want to beat you up."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Come on!"

Blood light surged from Liu Xuan's body, and his entire person expanded to three meters tall, his physique exactly the same as the fatty's now.

Golden light and black light surged from within the blood light. The aura on Liu Xuan's body was extremely demonic, simultaneously emitting a terrifying pressure.

"Boom!"

Before the fatty could react, his chest took a punch from Liu Xuan. Pure physical strength blasted him away, crashing into the Star Palace barrier.

"Can you fight me now?" Liu Xuan grinned.

"You're not human?!"

"No! You have a half-demon Bloodline?"

The fatty was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that such terrifying power was hidden inside Liu Xuan's body.

Yun Miao on the side was also stunned. She realized that she seemed to have never truly understood her Junior Brother.

"Come! I don't believe you can beat me." The fatty's desire to fight was ignited, Demonic Qi surged all over his body, and he took the initiative to attack Liu Xuan.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

In just a short moment, the fatty and Liu Xuan exchanged dozens of punches head-on. Neither side used Divine Ability or spells, relying entirely on physical strength to confront each other.

"Hiss~"

"Comfortable!"

Liu Xuan took a deep breath and smiled: "Warm-up is over, get ready to get beaten up, fatty!"

The colorful auras on his body retracted into his body one after another, leaving only a layer of faint black-red shimmer attached to his skin.

"Boom!"

Space seemed to collapse in front of his fist. The fatty was too late to defend. The barrier formed by Demonic Qi in front of his chest shattered, and his entire chest cavity caved in along with it.

The fatty took a few steps back, raised his claws to block Liu Xuan's next attack, and the injuries on his body recovered instantly.

The man and the bear fought into a ball, their movements so fast they looked like two blurry balls of light intertwined together.

A full half-hour later.

The fatty curled up in the corner of the Star Palace, struck a defensive posture, and shouted: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, I surrender!"

Liu Xuan's strength was stronger than his, his speed was faster than his, and his Moves were also stronger than his. From beginning to end, he was the one getting beaten up.

At the beginning, he had planned to wait for Liu Xuan's blood and Qi to be consumed before counterattacking, but looking at Liu Xuan's state, did he look like someone whose blood and Qi were exhausted?
