C3 (2/2)
Li Chen obediently walked over and saw Fifth Uncle take out a disk.
As long as a warrior drips a drop of his blood on the plate, he will be able to display the ”Heaven Ranked Martial Arts.” Rumor has it that the Heaven Ranked Martial Arts path is determined by the warrior's talent. The better the talent, the longer the Heaven Ranked Martial Arts.
If their talent was average, then their martial stage would be extremely short. It also meant that their potential was average. Even if they barely became a martial artist, they would only struggle at the bottom level with no future.
For example, the current Li Family's most outstanding genius in the younger generation, ”Li Fanyin”, had awakened a thirty meter ”Martial Stage”. Among the youths under the age of eighteen in the Northern Profound City, she was considered one of the top ten!
When Li Chen bit his finger and dripped a drop of his blood onto the alchemical instrument, a mini bridge slowly appeared in the air.
”Ah?” ”It's not a heaven-step martial path that allows a martial artist to ascend to the heavens, but a small phantom bridge!”
”How can this be? In all the tens of thousands of years in the Xuan Huang Continent, there has not been a single person whose Heaven stage was actually a small bridge? ”
”This... This is ridiculous! ”
”Trash, trash!” It's said that some trash in the Martial Dao were unable to open the Heaven Stage during the Spiritual Detection, and instead opened some strange phantoms. I never thought that our Li Family's bloodline would actually have this kind of trash's talent! ”
Li Chen was also dumbfounded as he watched the godly light bridge appear in the sky. A few seconds later, it disappeared from the world.
”Sigh, child, from now on, you should properly become a mortal.”
Fifth uncle sighed and looked at Li Chen with disappointment in his eyes.
Li Huayuan and the other elders immediately lost their interest. Their faces darkened as they waved their hands, indicating that Li Chen could leave now.
Before long, the news of Li Chen being able to cultivate and opening a ”broken bridge” spread throughout the entire Li family, to the point that everyone was ridiculing him. Li Chen instantly became the Li family's lowest ranked disciple.
After leaving the meeting room, Li Chen's mind was rather calm.
”Even if I don't open the Heaven Stage, and only have one 'broken bridge', at least I can cultivate it right?” Li Chen comforted himself.
Moreover, over these few years, he had accumulated quite a few spirit medicines and spirit stones from being a Death Soldier; it was more than enough for him to cultivate to the Martial Disciple Stage.
After arriving at the clan's internal department, Li Chen was prepared to accept all the rewards that he had placed in the clan for the past few years.
”What?! How come there is only a bottle of ordinary Body Refinement Ointment and two low-level spirit stones?”
In the next moment, Li Chen was dumbstruck as he looked at the item the other party brought with a puzzled expression.
”That's all. Hurry up and take it and scram!”
Opposite him was an elder of Li Chen's age, about forty years old. His name was Li Tianxing, and he was currently looking at Li Chen with a grim expression.
”That's not right, I have at least three bottles of Tiger Essence Body Refinement Ointment, six martial arts books, three yellow rank weapons and several hundred spirit stones. How can there be only such a small amount!”
Li Chen's eyes immediately narrowed as he doubtfully muttered to himself.
”Haha, Li Chen, you still want these things? With your talent, are you even fit to use it? ”
Just at this moment, a complacent laughter rang out. Li Jie walked out proudly with his own younger brother, Li Dong, behind him.
”It's all of you!”
Instantly, Li Chen came to his senses.
”Li Chen, you're too naive!” I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, all the precious resources you deposited in the Internal Affairs Bureau have been taken away by us two brothers, don't look like you want to eat me. This was agreed upon by the Patriarch himself.
Li Jun chuckled and took out a banknote worth 3000 taels of silver. She teasingly said, ”I think it's best if you go to the mortal world and become a rich old man. Don't hope to compete in martial arts.”
”Li Chen, this is the result of you offending me!” Li Dong laughed out loud and looked at him with disdain.
”Li Chen, this is indeed the Patriarch's wish.”
Li Tianxing also smiled playfully at the side. He pointed at his two nephews with pride and said, ”It's such a waste for those materials to be used on you. I'm sure you understand it yourself.”
Three thousand silver taels were tossed on the ground in front of Li Chen. Like sharp swords, they pierced into Li Chen's heart.
”Even if I were to sell my resources, it wouldn't be worth this little bit of money … I understand, you know that I cannot attract lightning and my potential in the path of martial arts is not high, so you no longer need to worry about me. Haha, you really are my good cousin, my good uncle! ”
Li Chen suddenly laughed, clenching his fists and clenching his teeth. His eyes turned red, revealing madness. He then decisively picked up the banknotes on the ground, leaving behind an ice-cold voice as he turned around and left.
”You want those resources, right? Okay, I'll give it to you guys, but three months from now, at the Family Sword Testing Competition, it will be your lucky chance, and especially so for your Li Calamity, I will take it back tenfold or even a hundredfold! ”
”At the Sword Testing Assembly, I will fight for the first place in the outer hall!”
