Chapter 23: Chapter 22 All Affinity physique, Awakened special ability
The whole place had gone silent. The originally busy marketplace was as quiet as a graveyard in the literal sense.
No one would believe it, that a youth who wasn't even in his twenties would be able to casually block and fling a grown man as if he were throwing chopsticks.
Forget about throwing away the old man, no one there had forgotten the fact that Dong Zhou was the young master of the Dong clan.
This meant that the person assigned to guard him would definitely not have low cultivation. Judging from what that young man said, the guard was a 3rd seal cultivator of the Dong clan.
This young man actually had strength comparable to a 3rd Seal cultivator! And from the looks of it, his strength was certainly higher than the opposing party.
Hiss!
Numerous people inhaled sharply as the thought crossed their minds. To have such strength at such a young age, this youth, was nothing short of a genius.
"So formidable! This youth absolutely has strength comparable to a 3rd Seal cultivator".
"No wonder he was so composed and dared to ask Dong Zhou to scram. It turns out he possesses such strength".
"By the looks of it, his strength is undoubtedly not just at the 3rd Seal. It must undoubtedly be higher, such a genius is absolutely not from our small town. Maybe he is from a big city".
"Looks like young master Dong has bitten off more than he can chew".
The people in the surroundings exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, they couldn't help but laugh at the predicament young master Dong had gotten himself and, possibly, his clan into.
At the same time, Dong Zhou was stupefied. Never had he expected the situation to form in such a manner. Wasn't he invincible with the backing of his clan? Wasn't old Su a 3rd seal cultivator?
Despite not being among the best, he could certainly handle a kid much younger than himself. However, the situation was entirely different from his initial thoughts.
Hearing the discussions all around him, Dong Zhou's face turned grim as he realized that such a possibility could happen. It was true, there was no such person in the entire town among the younger generation that possessed such strength.
If this young man was from a power outside the town, then his Dong clan was definitely going to see dark days ahead.
Dong Su was filled with rage, but at the same time, he was stupefied. When did such a newbie have such power? He remembered clearly that his punch had been easily blocked by the other party's palm.
There were no Qi fluctuations, meaning that he was stopped using nothing but physical strength. How horrifying.
Ru Chan's words almost caused him to vomit blood. What do you mean that I haven't eaten this morning?
However, as a cultivator, he had his pride. If he didn't teach this youth a lesson, then how would he be able to raise his head again in the village?
Because of his rage, he didn't register what the others had said and shot out of his rubble with anger visible on his face.
"Humph! Looks like you have some ability, kid. But don't think that you will be able to defeat me with just your physical power. That earlier strike was just 30% of my strength".
Hearing his words, Dong Zhou had an enlightened expression on his face before a vicious glint passed through his eyes.
"Kill him old Su, I changed my mind, I want him dead". His face was as red as a rat's insides.
Ru Chan was unmoved. However, he sported a clearly annoyed expression as he looked at Dong Su. He just wanted to leave peacefully, why were these clan idiots making things so difficult.
Since he wanted to end this fast, he didn't stand on ceremony and decided to make the first move. The opponent's cultivation was only at the 3rd Seal.
There was no threat that he could pose to Ru Chan, even if there were ten of him.
Ru Chan's figure blurred as he left Tang Ning's side and flashed forwards.
Flashing out at 80% speed, he arrived before him before the latter could even react. He pulled his fist backward and poured his Qi into his arm, accurately aiming for his dantian.
His arm swung forward like a bow shot from its bowstring as Ru Chan focused more than half his strength into that punch. He wasn't going to kill him, but he was definitely not going to be lenient.
Puuu!
Dong Su was shocked as he couldn't keep up with Ru Chan's speed. Suddenly, he felt his entire body go light, followed by a sudden bout of pain. He emitted a shrill cry as his whole body was blasted away.
He landed yet again, in the same destroyed stall he just got out of. Only this time, he spat out a mouthful of blood and blacked out.
During the exchange, the lasted no more than 2 breaths of time. Dong Su wasn't even given the chance to react.
Silence once again.
Dong Zhou's eyes were wide.
"Old Su wasn't even able to fight back!" He yelled inwardly as the battle was over before it even began. Only one word could describe this entire incident. Terrifying.
"You…. You…. Don't come near me! If you dare come closer, my Dong Clan will definitely make sure you live a life worse than death". Dong Zhou screamed in horror.
Ru Chan had already finished up with Dong Su and had turned his cold eyes in his direction. Startled, the first thing that came out of his mouth was to threaten him. With his identity.
Everyone looked at Dong Zhou as if they were looking at a fool.
"What is up with these annoying clansmen? First, they act all arrogant and bossy. Then, when they have clearly suffered a loss, they threaten with their background as if that will save them".
Ru Chan said causally as he advanced. Throughout the entire time, he didn't stop moving towards the staggering Dong Zhou.
"Do you think that I fear your measly clan?" As soon as he finished saying those words, Ru Chan suddenly vanished from Dong Zhou's sight. Well, not exactly vanished, but more like his speed was too fast for the other party to keep up with.
Before Dong Zhou could realize it, Ru Chan had appeared behind Dong Zhou. With a sharp glint in his eyes, he mercilessly struck out with his legs, sending Dong Zhou flying with a kick.
KACHA!
The sound of something being shattered could be heard by Ru Chan. However, it was overwhelmed by Dong Zhou's ghastly screams.
Without even turning around to spare Dong Zhou a glance, he walked back up to Tang Ning and pulled her away under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"That young man is truly extraordinary. I couldn't even catch a glimpse of his movements. He is definitely a genius from another town. Maybe a big city".
"Looks like Young master Zhou actually got the short end of the stick. Am laughing my ass out, Hahaha!"
"His background will definitely be frightining if he dares to do such a thing, no doubt about it".
While he walked forward with Tang Ning, Ru Chan opened his Charactee screen as he remembered he had a quest he had completed.
........
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving behing the fainted Dong Su and the screaming Dong Zhou behind and returning to their various businesses.
Ru Chan and Tang Ning didn't waste anymore time and returned to the auction house. As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by the sight of Tang Lingxi sitting with her legs crossed in the living room.
Despite her elegant temperament and beauty, Ru Chan could clearly see the outline of a stressed woman.
"You two are back! I didn't see you when i returned".
Tang Lingxi exclaimed as she looked at the returning duo with a questioning gaze. Ru Chan coughed slightly while Tang Ning went to her sister and explained their whereabouts for the past hour or so,lest there be any.... Uhem.... Misunderstandings.
"Those Bastards!" Tang Lingxi yelled as she slammed her palm against the sofa she sat on. Her eyes blazed with fury and hatred as she heard what those arrogant clan bitches nearly made her sister do.
However, her face soon turned from angry and ferocious to helpless.
So, the clans were arrogant, so what? What could she possibly do to change that fact? Her family had dumped her and her sister in this desolate town, saying that they were supposed to 'watch over the place'.
However, even Tang Ning knew that they had been abandoned here. The auction house didn't have any real power, and the Tang family didn't give a damn about it.
If she had her previous cultivation, maybe she could have made a difference. However, Tang Lingxi's cultivation was gone before she and her sister were banished here.
If not for the fact that some local powers were still somewhat fearful of the Tang family, who knows what would have happened.
This was why she always kept her sister within the auction house. She sighed deeply as she thought about her current problems. Forget about teaching them a lesson, it was already quite remarkable that they had managed to get out of it in the first place... Wait! How did they even manage to escape?
Tang Lingxi backtracked her sisters' narration before he recalled a part that she had missed out on due to her rage.
"You, You actually defeated old Elder Mei?" Tang Lingxi asked with a hint of surprise in her voice. When they had found Ru Chan, she had been cautious and even checked his cultivation.
At that time, it was clear that she couldn't feel an ounce of Qi within his body, so she thought he was an ordinary mortal. Was it hidden somewhere deep within his body ?
"Yes I did!" Ru Chan replied. There was no need to lie, as he didn't see any reason to do so.
"What's your level of cultivation?"
"5th Seal Martial Body refinement realm!"
"Oh!" Tang Lingxi said as she nodded her head a little. She wasn't surprised, after all, her cultivation had been higher than Ru Chan's during his age. At least, she thought it was, given the fact that she wasn't sure exactly how old Ru Chan was.
Plus, Elder Chen Mei was at the 4th Seal. She had done some basic interactions with the Chen family, so she knew her cultivation realm, so being at the 5th seal was nothing unexpected.
Back in the family branch, being in the 5th Seal didn't represent anything special and just meant you were average among the disciples.
She had seen stronger and didn't take his cultivation as anything much. But for the current her who didn't have any cultivation, his level could be considered as an elite within this little town.
"Am afraid that the two clans will definitely not let this matter slide so easily. You killed an elder of the Chen clan, and crippled a Dong clan elder as well as one of their young masters".
"The reputation of our Tang family will certainly not be able to fend them off so easily. Each clan's patriarch has strength at the 6th Seal, 1 seal above your current level".
Tang Lingxi said solemnly. She turned her gaze to Ru Chan; however, she didn't blame him for the situation. However, they couldn't just sit still and wait for the two clans to come to their doorstep.
However, Ru Chan's expression was completely natural, as if the whole situation had nothing to do with him. He wasn't worried or scared in the slightest about this news, after all, he could perfectly take care of himself.
Even a 7th Seal would pose no threat to him. However, the same couldn't be said for the two sisters in front of him.
One didn't have a shred of cultivation, while the other had her cultivation destroyed. Things were definitely going to get a little troublesome if they decided to attack either one of them.
However, that was all it was. A little troublesome, no more, no less.
Ru Chan's nonchalant face slowly bloomed into a small smile. He looked at Tang Lingix straight in the eye, and walked towards her.
"I haven't had the chance to use this special ability since I just obtained it. Although I'm using it the other way, in which I hadn't expected, it would let me test its authenticity nonetheless".
Ru Chan though inwardly as he walked towards the back of the sofa in which, Tang Lingxi sat on.
With a thought, the system screen opened up in his eyes.
