101: Chapter 101 The Shamelessness of the Demon Race

"A sparring match?"

So it was such a simple matter; the two Chu sisters were momentarily speechless.

Chen Xing's true goal, however, was to fulfill the System's conditions, as he wanted to unlock this new combat character.

"Fine, but this is a hospital, so we can't cause too much of a scene." Chu Zhen stood up.

She was quite interested in this new Genius who had been in the spotlight recently, and she had studied the video of his battle with Venerable Jianxing many times.

After that match, the Alliance discovered that this method of same-Realm combat was very effective and began to promote it vigorously.

The various academies even reconstructed the battle scenes in the Virtual World and established new programs.

For instance, one could participate in the battle and freely choose a character; those who wanted to fight Chen Xing would choose Ye Jianxing, and those who wanted to fight Venerable Jianxing would choose Chen Xing.

This novel approach naturally became a hit across the entire network, and even those old monsters couldn't resist giving it a try.

Consequently, although Chen Xing was Cultivating in the Grotto-Heaven and Blissful Land, his winning record was spread throughout every academy.

Invisibly, he had defeated many people.

"No problem, you only need to use one move, and I'll take it." Chen Xing was concise.

"Fine." Chu Zhen agreed just as decisively.

Seeing this, Chu Li tactfully ran to the door and peeked her head out stealthily.

Inside the ward, Chu Zhen slowly raised her hand, and three streaks of divine lightning—purple, red, and green—emerged in her palm.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by a low rumble of thunder, the tri-colored lightning converged, transforming into a miniature spear with a sharp edge.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly; he felt several different powers within the spear, such as Battle Techniques and Concepts.

To be able to compress power to such an extent without any signs of instability showed that Chu Zhen's precision in controlling power was exceptionally high.

Chen Xing didn't dare to be careless, immediately summoning golden light to cover his body and performing Fusion with the Dragon Soul Armor.

"Bang!"

Chu Zhen struck, the spear accompanied by thunder like a Vicious Beast wanting to swallow its opponent.

In a burst of explosion, Chen Xing's defense was broken, and a chunk of flesh was scraped off his right waist, leaving it bloody.

Chu Li's eyes widened. Her sister was going too far; was such intensity necessary for a spar?

"What happened?"

At the same time, Dr. Fang, hearing the noise and thinking some equipment had exploded, rushed over immediately.

As a result, he saw the bleeding Chen Xing and Chu Zhen standing opposite him, his face filled with the resignation of being forced to work overtime.

Big brother, I was just about to get off work, what are you doing!

"Why didn't you dodge?" Regarding this, the most shocked and confused person was actually Chu Zhen.

"I just wanted to test its power. Hmm... it's quite good." Chen Xing smiled slightly.

Immediately after, a flash of light appeared as the Five Elements Body Refining Art activated, circulating rapidly within his body and quickly healing the wound.

Seeing this, Chu Li came to a sudden realization.

Chu Zhen had studied Chen Xing with her and knew his level, so her strike was measured and couldn't have been a mistake.

In Chu Zhen's view, Chen Xing was fully capable of dodging an attack of that level, but he chose to take it head-on; that was the reason for her shock.

"Thanks. We can discuss elemental attribute issues later." Chen Xing nodded with a smile.

"I'm preparing to go to the Domain of God. If you have any questions you need to ask, make it tonight; I don't have much time left." Chu Zhen said.

"Alright." Chen Xing nodded.

"Dr. Fang, I'm sorry. The children were being immature, please forgive us."

At this moment, a figure slowly walked over and apologized to Dr. Fang, who then left.

"Venerable Jianxing?" Chu Li's eyes flashed; she froze for two seconds before bowing slightly.

"Venerable." Chu Zhen came over to salute.

Seeing this, Chen Xing's lips twitched. Although this was the respect of a junior for a Senior, he usually wasn't this polite when meeting his teacher.

However, since they were in front of outsiders, Chen Xing still performed a proper salute.

"Student greets Teacher."

Ye Jianxing's brow twitched. You're something else, who are you trying to fool!

Don't I know exactly what kind of character you have?

"Let's get to business. Since you're all here, I'll mention it while I'm at it." He waved his hand.

"All of us?" Chu Li was surprised.

"It's about the Yao Race. I assume you've all just experienced it." Ye Jianxing became serious.

At the mention of this matter, the expressions of the three turned sour, their faces darkening.

"Has the culprit been found?" Chu Zhen asked.

"We found them, but they are very uncooperative and... very roguish." Ye Jianxing nodded.

"Roguish?" Chen Xing was surprised; was such a word supposed to be used to describe a prisoner?

Ye Jianxing opened his Optical Computer and displayed a set of data.

He said, "Human history is vast, and we have been in opposition with the Yao Race through countless eras. But in this new era specifically, assassinations are at an all-time high, far higher than before."

Anyone with eyes could tell there was definitely a change involved.

The three looked at each other, and only Chu Zhen seemed to have thought of something, realizing the truth.

"You're preparing to go to the Domain of God, so someone must have come to guide you already, right?" Ye Jianxing looked at her.

"Yes, but I don't know much." Chu Zhen did not hide it.

Speaking of this, Chu Li felt a bit ashamed; her sister had deliberately stayed behind for a year just to help her win the championship.

Ye Jianxing continued, "I won't keep you in suspense. I'll tell you directly: the increase in assassinations is directly related to this roguishness."

"If you investigate carefully, you'll find that many of the Yao Race assassins in this era are actually 'elderly'."

"'Elderly'?" When this term appeared, it felt a bit out of place, but they continued to listen patiently.

Ye Jianxing said, "Because these Yao Beasts have reached the end of their Lifespan and have very few years left to live."

"However, the Demon Alliance discovered that this was a waste of talent. So they came up with a plan: to have these dying Yao infiltrate our territory for suicide-style assassinations."

"..."

After this explanation, they all understood.

This was deep within the territory of the Human Race. Any Yao Race member who dared to show their face was essentially seeking death. So why did they still dare to come? Was it truly the courage of the brave?

Now Chen Xing and the others understood. It was entirely because these Yao Race assassins who dared to go deep were all elderly ones whose lives were about to end!

Before they set out, the Demon Alliance promised to bring great benefits to their respective tribes.

To be able to give their tribe a boost before they died, these old bones were naturally very willing. So they brought their weapons and came here to play at self-destruction.

This was why Ye Jianxing said this tactic was roguish.

With anyone else, you'd need to worry about whether they were loyal enough, whether they'd betray you, or whether they were brave enough.

But these dying old fellows didn't need any of that. They came to assassinate with a resolve to die; whether they succeeded or not, the mission was considered complete.

Even the Yao Beasts Chen Xing encountered during his first assassination attempt were all dying Yao; there wasn't a single young one among them.
